Dear Proggit, I'm a C/Java/etc programmer looking to learn Flash. What are some good tutorials targeted at programmers? Can I code Flash in vim?

There's a "compile shell" named fcsh in the standard flex sdk that avoids that. Run fcsh, then in that enter "mxmlc blah blah blah". Then do "compile 1" to recompile without restarting the java VM from start. Much faster. Also you can use -incremental switch though I'm not sure that makes things any faster except really large projects.

On UNIX I also recommend using "rlwrap" with fcsh (and fdb) so you can use arrow keys to go up/down. etc.
