There aren't too many editors for OS X that I like. Flex Builder 3 is very nice. It feels sluggish though compared to FlashDevelop on the PC.

I know a favorite is TextMate, however it seems to be restricted to AS2 right now, MTASC seems to want to pump out Flash 8 stuff.

Is there a way to get completion approaching that of FD yet outside of Flex Builder? When I declare a private var typed, and FD pumps out the import statement for me, well... that makes my day :) And autocomplete with my own custom classes saves me TONS of time. 

Looking something close on OS X, or else I can just keep using FD on the PC to code with I guess.

“FDT with eclipse. The lexical parser it has for problem generation will shave so many hours off your dev time that its hands down worth it. I use it over Emacs because that single productivity point is so strong.”

“Auto Completion on TextMate would make my day. I sure miss Flash Develop too. I saw a very amazing demo of FDT 3.0, by the creator of it, but it was on Windows. Apparently it "works the same" on mac, but I didn't have great luck. Also, it's very expensive.”

“Hey Eric,

You should check out this page: http://blog.simongregory.com/10/textmate-actionscript-3-and-flex-bundles/

The AS3 bundle is actually pretty handy.”
