as3term 2.0.0 released!
I’m very pleased to announce the release of as3term 2.0.0. For those who don’t know it, as3term is a terminal-like application that lets you compile and execute simple snippets of AS3 code. It was built with Flex/AIR 2.0 and it uses the NativeProcess API to launch the fcsh compiler, which is part of the Flex SDK. You can check out one of my previous post with the screen cast showing it in action.
This release includes several important changes and improvements:
- AS3 syntax coloring based on AS3TextArea (another open source project that I released recently)
- Using the fcsh.jar compiler from the Flex SDK instead of mxmlc, which provides an enormous improvement in compilation time.
- Added window resize gripper
- Window centering
- Updated Swiz to version 1.0 RC2
You can download as3term from here. If you have it already installed you just need to run it and it should update itself using the NativeApplicationUpdater.
Good to see it’s being improved. Can’t wait for next updates. I’d like to see an option to show compiled swf, for example code would be passed to ENTER_FRAME event listener to play around with some graphic drawing scripts.

Hi. The app crashs when I tried to do some simple mcs:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var mc:MovieClip = new flash.display.MovieClip();
mc.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
mc.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(mc);
Thank you.
