Yes Josh, I saw that now and it works :)
Thanks :)
I've been using VS Code for a while now and probably I started before that
feature or I didn't notice.

But the TypeScript and a new MXML extension would have an important impact
(not for me) but will be far easier to talk about Royale to other
developers out there.

Dev: What language did you use to build this application ?
Hugo: Royale. Do you know ?
Dev: No. What is it ? How is the sintaxe ?
Hugo: MXML for UI and ActionScript for code.
Dev: MXML I don't know but ActionScript is not the language of the old
Flash e MX não tem haver com a Macromedia ?

Do you understand what I mean ?

Now, if the answer was TypeScript, there is a big chance that the "Dev
person", answer, yes I know or even, yes I work with it. I will try on a
test project !

Many people ask me the same question and I know the answer upfront (every
single time) and it's always a dev that will not try Royale.

You may say that is a marketing reason and it's true but it's a marketing
world and other frameworks compared to Royale, Royale would shade easily
are more popular because of that.

This is my honest opinion.

Best regards,
Hugo.
