BTW give FlashDevelop[1] a try if you want AS, AS2, MXML, Flex SDK, Air
SDK, Haxe support .  It's open source (always good to support).

Quote from their main page...
----------------------------------------
FlashDevelop offers first class support for ActionScript (2 & 3) and Haxe
development. Great completion & code generation, projects compilation &
debugging, plenty of project templates, SWF/SWC exploration etc.
FlashDevelop is also a great web developer IDE with source-control support
(svn, git, mercurial), tasks/todo, snippets, XML/HTML completion and
zen-coding for HTML.
