FDT enables development of content such as video games, rich web applications and Adobe AIR applications, in the ActionScript 3 and Haxe programming languages.[17] FDT offers project management, code editing and interactive debugging. FDT is similar in purpose and design to Adobe Flash Builder and FlashDevelop. The primary purpose of the IDE is enabling developers to edit, compile, debug and publish a Flash ActionScript project.
FDT uses a subscription-based licensing model and is available in multiple editions,[18][19] including a free version with restricted features for hobbyists,[20] and a low-cost version for students.[21]
