using an existing Tagging parser for a new language

[picnic]

I'd like SlickEdit(SE) to support a new language (www.haxe.org). HaXe is very
similar to Actionscript, that is already supported by SE:
- syntax highlight
- autocomplete
- class browser
- go to Def., go to Ref.

I think I could use all the features that are based on ContectTagging for .as files

Here is an example of the haxe Language:

test.hx:
--------

^{class Test {
    static function main() {
        var mc : flash.MovieClip = flash.Lib.current;
        mc.beginFill(0xFF0000);
        mc.moveTo(50,50);
        mc.lineTo(100,50);
        mc.lineTo(100,100);
        mc.lineTo(50,100);
        mc.endFill();
    }
}}


You see - syntax is the same as Actionscript.
The big question is:
How is it possible to use the Actionscript parser for this .hx file extension?

You could try to create a new extension '*.hx' referring to '*.as' to get it working (see Tools>Options>File Extension Setup).
Good luck, HS2

thanks!

I have now the class browser and a partly working autocompletion.
Because of a small detail in the package/import syntax I can't list classmembers from other files....

why is there no public api for the taggingsupport or at least some more detailed info how you can autocompletion to work without tagging?
