Extension settings

To configure the ActionScript and MXML extension for Visual Studio Code, open the File menu (On macOS, open the Code application menu) and go to Preferences → Workspace Settings.

Alternatively, you may manually create a file named settings.json inside your workspace's .vscode/ directory (you'll need to create this directory, if it doesn't exist yet).

Settings

nextgenas.sdk.framework

Specifies the folder path of the ActionScript SDK used by the current workspace. Supports Apache FlexJS, the Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler, the Apache Flex SDK, Adobe Flex SDK, and the Feathers SDK.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.framework": "/path/to/sdk"
}

This setting may also be customized by clicking the name of the currently selected SDK in the status bar to open the SDK picker.

nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths

Specifies a folder path containing one or more SDKs to add as custom options in the SDK picker.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths": "/path/to/custom/sdks"
}

Alternatively, you can use an array of paths, if you happen store SDKs in more than one location:

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths": [
		"/path/to/custom/sdks",
		"/more/custom/sdks"
	]
}

nextgenas.java

If the extension cannot find Java automatically, this setting may be used to specify the exact path to the java executable that the extension should use (Note: it must be an executable, and not directory).

On macOS or Linux, you might specify a path like this:

{
	"nextgenas.java": "/usr/bin/java"
}

On Windows, you should specify the path to java.exe (the exact path may be different on your system):

{
	"nextgenas.java": "c:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_131\\bin\\java.exe"
}

nextgenas.sdk.editor

(Advanced) Specifies the folder path of the Apache FlexJS SDK used internally by the extension for code intelligence. Unless you know what you're doing, you should probably set nextgenas.sdk.framework instead.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.editor": "/path/to/sdk"
}
