Black,
I use xemacs. These instructions are based on xemacs,
but should work on emacs.


1) save actionscript.el into
C:\Documents and Settings\Black Qin\Application Data\.emacs.d

2)
Load ~/.emacs

3)
Press C-h v load-path
This will display the paths emacs looks in for packages
Press C-s and type .emacs.d RET

If C:\Documents and Settings\Black Qin\Application Data\.emacs.d\
is not in the path,
enter into your .emacs,

(add-path "~/.emacs.d/")

4)
Add to your .emacs
(load-library "actionscript.el")


5)
Exit & restart emacs, then load an actionscript file.
If emacs is in fundamental or text mode (its the text in brackets on the status line),
then skip to step 7.

6)
If emacs is opening .as files as something else, then it
has been told to do so.
We need to remove that association.
Press C-h v auto-mode-alist RET
to list the associations.

Search in here to find it. Assuming there is a entry like
("\\.as\\'" . asm-mode)
then add to your .emacs
(remove-alist 'auto-mode-alist '"\\.as\\'"")



7)
Swap to the action script file an
enter M-x actionscript-mode RET
This should put emacs into actionscipt mode

If this does not work, try
M-x action-script-mode RET

8)
Add to your .emacs
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.as\\'" . actionscript-mode) 't)
assuming you want .as files to be autoloaded as actionscript.
If you need action-script-mode in step 7, use that here.

9)
Exit & restart emacs, then load an actionscript file.
Emacs should open it as actionscript.



HTH,
