VIM: ActionScript and MXML syntax files
I am sharing VIM syntax files for ActionScript and MXML, which I was about to share last-year, I got lazy after Manish's post. I hope, these syntax files would provide more (if not better) syntax-highlighting :-)
Click following links to download/see:-
You can refer to Manish's post to learn how to use these files. Instruction applies to any VIM syntax file.
Credit goes to original creators of actionscript.vim and xml.vim. These files were starting points.
Disclaimer:These files work for me, these are not perfect or clean. I would try to clean up, add more (if any missing) syntax and share whenever I get time.

You rule!!!!
This is great!
Now all we need is to modify eclipse java editor to take in syntax from actionscript and eclipse jsp editor to handle MXML (after all it is just like JSPs) and we got a semi-working ide :)

Quick suggestion on implementing them:
Add this to your $HOME/.vimrc:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.mxml set filetype=mxml
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.as set filetype=actionscript
The instructions that are linked to don't include the mxml line and they don't work when you're creating a new file!

Incredibly helpful - thanks!
For Actionscript 3 within an mxml file script tag, the syntax coloring is different than actionscript in a standalone *.as file - is that your intention (or maybe my environment is messed up :) ?

Is there a way to enable/add folding on the actionscript syntax file?
