About the Script window

You can write and edit ActionScript in the Script window when you create a new
ActionScript, Flash Communication, or Flash JavaScript file. You use the Script window to
write and edit external script files. Syntax coloring, code hinting, and other editor options are
supported in the Script window.
You can create external ActionScript, ActionScript communication, and Flash JavaScript files
in the Script window. Depending upon the type of external script file you create, the Actions
toolbox provides you with a complete list of the language elements available for each.
When you use the Script window, you'll notice that some of the other code-assistance features
like Script navigator, Script Assist mode, and behaviors are unavailable. This is because these
features are only useful in the context of creating a Flash document, not for creating an
external script file.
