FlashBuilder: SourceMate AS3Signals Template

03/23/2010 in RIA View Comments

**
Updated: RobotLegs metadata templates added to the zip file. This adds the template for [Inject] and [PostConstruct]. To install follow the same steps below for templates, but on step 3 choose “Metadata”. Import the “robotlegs_metadata.xml” file. Thanks to Nick Collins for the template!

Building off of and all props to the AS3Signals for FDT post by Aiden Tailor the following is a similar template for SourceMate / Flash Builder 4. This is a code template for AS3Signals by Robert Penner.

I am an FDT fanboy, but also use FlashBuilder at the office and SourceMate is the bomb. For more information on SourceMate go here. For some in depth explanation of SourceMate’s features check out Jesse Freeman’s post on InsideRIA.

You can grab the template here. (Also included is the base template, in case you accidentally overwrite yours).

How to install:

1. In FlashBuilder 4 (assuming SourceMate is installed) go to “Window”
2. Then go to “Preferences”
3. Twirl down SourceMate and choose “Templates (Snippets)
4. On the right side choose “Import”
5. Browse to the “as3Signals.xml” file that was bundled in the AS3Signals_SourceMate.zip file that you downloaded.
6. Select “as3Signals.xml” and click “Open”
7. The template is now in place.
