FlashDevelop is an advanced project development application which includes an array of different tools for developers, especially those who use Flash to create web-based applications though a number of different programming languages are supported.

In terms of web development, FlashDevelop provides a number of tools and syntax formatting for popular coding languages like PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, XML, Python and CSharp. FlashDevelop comes with some testing tools which enable you to highlight syntax, find errors, compare different files and versions thereof and more.
