There is a very close question here: actionscript development on mac. Howerver, the answers are two years ago. There are comments under the question asking for updates but got no response. So I am here to ask.

What are some good ways to setup ActionScript development environment on MAC? If Adobe CreativeSuite is installed, that should give you a complete dev environment? If so, why people are still asking about IDE?

I personally prefer Vim + command line tools. I found that Flex SDK http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex-sdk-download.html might be able to serve for this purpose. However, not sure whether it will have some compatibility problem. Any other suggestion?

I'm not a MAC user but I think the accepted answer in the question you link to probably still stands; namely if you want to do serious ActionScript development on a MAC you should be considering either FlashBuilder or FDT.

The answer to your second question will depend on the version of CreativeSuite you have installed. If you have the master collection, which appears to include FlashBuilder 4.6 Premium, you're in luck. Otherwise not as the Flash IDE (ironically) is pretty dreadful for writing ActionScript.
