[Bug 928436] Re: needs actionscript syntax highlighting

[saurabh]

Yes, this is a per-user fix to this problem. However, it means every
user on the system has to do this, and every time you install on a new
system you have to update this fix. Why not just include actionscript
support? It's a widely used language, certainly more widely-used than
Atlas.

Title:
  needs actionscript syntax highlighting

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Actionscript syntax highlighting has been available for a while from vim.org:
  http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1061

  However, it's not included by default in the vim package. Instead,
  *.as defaults to Atlas files. I'm not 100% confident, but I imagine
  there are far more people editing actionscript code than are editing
  Atlas code out there. I'm tired of having to edit
  /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/filetype.vim every time i install vim. Can
  we change vim packaging so that it includes Actionscript and maps *.as
  to it?
