Flash and IDE's
Flash is used for many things such as:


Animation,Vector based Graphics,Frames,Library,Timeline etc. This software is great for learning action script and learning about basic animation.

Adobe has helped us out by providing an archive of code snippets to help make the process easier for our self  You just have to find the snippet which you are needing and place it in - you would mostly likely have to tweak it though. If you cannot find the snippet you require in the software, the resources for Flash online are great and often a place to resort for assistance. The software is a powerful authoring environment where many applications can be made.The main application of flash is the IDE.

An IDE is a software application that provides options and facilities to the computer programmers for software development. In Flash you are working with many files dotted all around your computer. This can become very cluttered and hard to keep control of. That is why Flash has a Library. Here you can store all of your assets and simply drag them out when needed. It is ideal to see what exactly you need and what you don't need. It is also a great way to spot problems, for example if a file is named incorrectly you can view all the assets in your scene and make changes accordingly. The library is a vital tool in creating inside of Flash, it helps keep you organised and prevents you from potentially running into problems.

IDE's are designed to maximize programmer productivity by providing tight-knit components with similar user interfaces. This means that the programmer will have to do less mode switches versus using discrete development programs.

The IDE would include a source code editor which in my case would be an action script 3.0 and also a build automation tools along with a debugger in some of them they would include extra features like a interpreter or a contain compile and even both. and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder.

The BASIC programming language, for example, can be used within Microsoft Office applications, which makes it possible to write a Word Basic program within the Microsoft Word application. IDE's provide a user-friendly framework for many modern programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Java, and Power Builder. Some IDE's support multiple languages allows it to be more user friendly.

 Dartmouth BASIC was the first language to be created with an IDE and it was also the first to be designed for use while sitting in front of a console or terminal. Its IDE, that was part of the Dartmouth Time Sharing System was command-based, and therefore did not look much like the menu-driven, graphical IDEs prevalent today. However it integrated editing, file management, compilation, debugging and execution in a manner consistent with a modern IDE.
IDEs initially became possible when developing via a console or terminal. Early systems could not support one, since programs were prepared using flowcharts, entering programs with punched cards (or paper tape, etc.) before submitting them to a compiler.
