Adobe actually distributes the IDE to target Flash, the
Flash CS3 Professional software that is aimed principally at designers, and the Adobe Flex Builder
2 that targets software developers. haXe is still young and does not have a lot of editors yet
although new solutions are always emerging, but the very important fact is that haXe does not
necessarily need a complex IDE to be fully functional and usable. Debugging in haXe is quite easy
because the compiler is very smart in detecting inconsistencies and errors.
One of the biggest advantages of the Adobe Flash CS3 product is the presence of a visual editor
that allows creating and importing graphics that can be embedded as symbols in the output movie
and used by the code. Because haXe is a programming language and not an IDE, such
functionalities must be provided using external tools. It is of course possible to use the Adobe
products to integrate the haXe environment, but it is also possible to rely on a plethora of open
source editors that can create and manipulate digital images, vector drawing, sounds, and videos.
