Actionscript Object Class Generator using Flex

Actionscript Object Class Creator Shot

I have been working with Flex for a little while now mostly working on little experiments. So I decided it was time to create something useful. The idea for this project came to me while working on a large very object-oriented project.

All standard object class are similar in layout, but different enough that you really can’t copy and paste them. After creating tons of these classes by hand I knew there must be an easier way. At that moment ‘Actionscript Object Class Generator’ was born. This web-based application lets the user fill in a few fields and options like package path, class name, variables, variable types and also specify if getters and/or setters are needed. Once complete it will auto generate the properly formatted object class code which you then can paste directly into Actionscript file.

Check it out here.

Please leave me some feedback. Let me know if you like it, what features should be added or changed. If enough people find this application useful I might turn it into an AIR app that will save out files automatically.
