This archive contains files to make SciTE[1] support syntax coloring and API calltips for the Haxe[2] language. It is part of the public domain.

Here's how to "install" it:

• move haxe.api to a convenient place. I've put it in /usr/local/share/scite/ on my Linux, you might prefer some other place.
• copy the contents of haxe.properties into your ~/.SciTEUser.properties or anywhere else where scite will find it. Adapt the path to haxe.api (in the second-to-last line) according to where you've put it.
• if you like, try out the syntax color definitions from colors.properties.

Maybe restart your SciTE, then enjoy! : Haxe keywords should be highlighted, known words from the haxe API will be colored in a different style (i'm personally not quite sure if i like this), and you will have "calltips" (tooltips that pop up) explaining the API.

Note that SciTE doesn't know anything about the semantics of the Haxe API - calltips are based purely on the function name - so a hint doesn't meant that the object you're trying to call the function on actually is of the right type, etc. But it provides *some* hints :)
