• Emacs modes for Flex:
• XML: nXML-mode for Emacs from James Clark Using Emacs for XML documents
• Actionscript: actionscript-mode.el for editing actionscript files in emacs.
• At least right now it seems you want this xml mode and this actionscript-mode.el.
• Then, add

  (setq auto-mode-alist (append (list
   '("\\.as\\'"   . actionscript-mode)
   '("\\.\\(xml\\|xsl\\|rng\\|xhtml\\|mxml\\)\\'" . nxml-mode)
   ;; add more modes here
   ) auto-mode-alist))
  
  ;;
  ;; ------------------ Magic for XML Mode ----------------
  ;;
  
  (setq nxml-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
   (setq tab-width        2
         indent-tabs-mode nil)
         (set-variable 'nxml-child-indent     2)
         (set-variable 'nxml-attribute-indent 2)
         ))
  

• You can use M-x customize-group RET nxml-highlighting-faces RET to fix your colors the way you like 'em.
• Setting up asdoc to work within Flex Builder:
• First, install ant support (Ant is an offshoot of apache and is like Makefile only more betterer.)
• Then set up a build.xml in your docs/ directory to build the documentation set.
• I had to modify mine a bit: I added <property name="Templates.dir" location="${FlexSDK.dir}/asdoc/templates/"/> <arg line='-templates-path ${Templates.dir}'/>
• I also linked the flex home to a no-funny-characters dir:

      ln -s "/Applications/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 2" /work/ProgramStores/Flex
     cd /work/ProgramStores/Flex
     ln -s "Flex SDK 2" FlexSDK

  Then I exported the location for the asdoc file:

      export FLEX_HOME=/work/ProgramStores/Flex/FlexSDK

  or else I got the error message:

      Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Flex

How to fix CTAGS to work with ActionScript, from the vim-taglist project:

• ActionScript Add the following lines to the $HOME/.ctags or $HOME/ctags.conf file:

  --langdef=actionscript
  --langmap=actionscript:.as
  --regex-actionscript=/^[ \t]*[(private| public|static) ( \t)]*function[ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*\(/\1/f, function, functions/
  --regex-actionscript=/^[ \t]*[(public) ( \t)]*function[ \t]+(set|get) [ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*\(/\1 \2/p,property, properties/
  --regex-actionscript=/^[ \t]*[(private| public|static) ( \t)]*var[ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*/\1/v,variable, variables/
  --regex-actionscript=/.*\.prototype \.([A-Za-z0-9 ]+)=([ \t]?)function( [ \t]?)*\(/\1/ f,function, functions/
  --regex-actionscript=/^[ \t]*class[ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*/\1/c,class, classes/
  

  Add the following lines to the ~/.vimrc or $HOME\_vimrc file:

  " actionscript language
  let tlist_actionscript_settings = 'actionscript;c:class;f:method;p:property;v:variable'
  

I actually just add these lines to my maintenance Makefile:

CTAGLANGS = --langdef=actionscript \
--langmap=actionscript:.as \
--regex-actionscript='/^[ \t]*[(private| public|static) ( \t)]*function[\t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*\(/\1/f, function, functions/' \
--regex-actionscript='/^[ \t]*[(public) ( \t)]*function[ \t]+(set|get) [ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*\(/\1 \2/p,property, properties/' \
--regex-actionscript='/^[ \t]*[(private| public|static) ( \t)]*var[  \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[\t]*/\1/v,variable, variables/' \
--regex-actionscript='/.*\.prototype \.([A-Za-z0-9 ]+)=([ \t]?)function( [  \t]?)*\(/\1/f,function, functions/' \
--regex-actionscript='/^[ \t]*class[ \t]+([A-Za-z0-9_]+)[ \t]*/\1/c,class, classes/'

.PHONY: ctags
ctags:
-rm -f TAGS
find . -name "*.as" -or -name "*.mxml" | ctags -eL - $(CTAGLANGS)

Take off the -e (ctags -L - $(CTAGLANGS)) if you're one of those vi users (I'm being polite because, after all, it's from them comes this tip)
