QuickLook is definitely one of the (multiple) great tools of Leopard. It really is quite handy, but unfortunately it didn’t (so far) help me in previewing the content of two of the most useful type of files: Flex’s *.mxml and *.as files.

Still, a while back, I had investigated QuickLook plugins, and added a few functionalities like the FLV preview, or the ZIP files preview. But never got any further ever since. So, after a bit of digging, I found this very useful website.

That was good, but not good enough, so after a bit more of digging, this blog finally gave me the answer (and especially the 12th comment) at least for previewing the ActionScript files.

Remained the mxlm ones… Ok, I took my shovel again, and thanks for this article, I finally got my solution (and hopefully yours if you’re reading this).

Right. Let’s go back coding then (says the addict on a Saturday morning).

[UPDATED (25/03/2010)]

It seems at least one of the links is dead (although reachable in Google’s cache). Anyway, I had to redo the whole thing today so I thought I would spare you guys some time by sharing my home backed QLColorCode with MXML and AS files. Enjoy.
