AS3 Flash 10 Firefox Search Plugin
I don’t know about you, but I rely on the Search box built into Firefox a lot. I use it almost religiously and have a selection of search engines in there, one of which is of course the ActionScript 3 Reference.
It was bugging me that there was no search engine plugin specifically for the Flash 10 version of the docs.
So, I created one.
If you use Firefox (or any browser that supports the OpenSearch plugin format) then you can add the Flash 10 search plugin to by simply going to this page on the MozDev site: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=flash+10 and adding the Flash 10 version I created.
I’ve already used it several times in the past hour, so figured it’d be worth posting about incase anyone else found it useful.

this will be very useful. i find myself often scrolling through the api docs searching for a specific class which wastes plenty of time. one feature request though: use the flex 3.0.2 api docs instead to include flex classes. that would be very helpful.

Awesome, this will save many people a lot of time. Nice one Photon!

Nice work! I just had the API Reference in bookmarks. Will have to bust this out and see which way I like better. In any case, its a great idea.
