[osflash] [OT] one editor for everything (emacs)

[Austin Haas]

Cool. I've updated that actionscript stuff for AS3, here: http://blog.pettomato.com/?p=22

I wrote a small server in Lisp that catches those debug messages and sends them to standard-output. It's launched from Emacs as a subprocess and all output goes straight into an Emacs buffer. The highlighting is a simple function that is called when that buffer is created.

If xray can send it's output to a console, then you should be able to use in the same way.

Here is the code:

(defun ordinary-insertion-filter (proc string)
	(with-current-buffer (process-buffer proc)
		(let ((moving (= (point) (process-mark proc))))
			(save-excursion
				;; Insert the text, advancing the process marker.
				(goto-char (process-mark proc))
				(insert string)
				(set-marker (process-mark proc) (point)))
			(if moving (goto-char (process-mark proc))))))

(defun launch-flash-tracer ()
	(interactive)
	(when (get-buffer *as-debug-buffer*)
		(save-current-buffer
			(set-buffer *as-debug-buffer*)
			;; Clear the buffer.
			(erase-buffer)))
	(unless (get-process "as-tracer")
		(message "Starting as-tracer...")
		(let ((p (start-process "as-tracer" *as-debug-buffer* "sbcl" "--core" "/home/astro/projects/web/flash-tracer/flash-tracer.core" "--noinform")))
			(set-process-filter p 'ordinary-insertion-filter))
		;; Highlight odd numbered frames
		(with-current-buffer *as-debug-buffer*
			(hi-lock-mode t)
			(highlight-lines-matching-regexp "^\[[ 0-9]*?[13579]\]" 'actionscript-global-props-face))
		(message "Done.")))
