Using Flex Builder 2 or Eclipse was way too slow on my system. Got the TextMate bundle from here: http://blog.danielparnell.com/?p=22 Taking the bundle above, I modified the [dirs] paths to my include own Flex SDK dir,: dirs = [ ... "/SDK/flex_sdk_2" ] And towards the end, modified the script to use Firefox instead of Safari: system("open -a Firefox \"#{outputFile}\"") And yes, debugging from the Flash Player log file really saves a lot of time as well.

I get bothered by the number of hoops we have to jump through just to be able to work more easily in an environment other than the Flash IDE though. Thanks for the heads up, Mark.

This has a slight advantage over the XTrace route since it allows you to tap into trace ouput from non-MTASC compiled swfs as well.
