SE

SE (Source Editor) is a FlashGUI development environment.

SE is both account explorer and program editor. You can view, create, and delete files and q-pointers, copy and paste items between files, open and edit multiple items.

SE displays file description (attribute 17 of the file defining item) or q-pointer path, as well as the number of items. In the programs table program description is displayd in addition to the program name. Program description is the third line of the program (must be commented with *).

SE facilitates writing FlashGUI programs.
