Auto-completion: actionscript 3.0 and other issues

Auto-completion is fantastic, but for me has 2 main problems: - for actionscript 3.0 is only partial: it doesn't even have the package and class keywords, not to speak about many other. - it should be language-specific. If I'm writing a javascript file, I should only see javascript keywords, oth
