flash (macromedia) : Outline for ActionScript

Hi,

I just started developing in Flash a few weeks ago and overall I really like
what I can do with Flash. However I'm used to working with Java IDE's such as
JBuilder or Eclipse and I am finding the Flash developer IDE frustrating. The
application I am building is growing in complexity one of my main annoyances is
I cannot find any "view" that shows me an outline of my current ActionScript
file. I'm forever scrolling trying to remember where a function or variable is
defined. Am I missing soemthing or is this just not available?

Another question - I don't seem to be able to set breakpoints directly in a
class definition file. Am I doing something wrong? Generally I find the
debugging facilities very limited. I still cannot work out how to display the
value of a variable in a class definition asside from listing out all variables
in the application. Why not do what every IDE does and display the value when
you hover your mouse over the name when in Debug mode?

Any feedback appreciated.

I agree with the original author. Any suggestions for a modern
code-editing environment that will work with ActionScript 2.0 and allow
to quickly jump to function and variable definitions?
