SapphireSteel is a company known for filling in the gaps that some .NET developers fall between when they need to develop with platforms that aren't supported in Visual Studio.  Their first tool was Ruby in Steel, which allowed Ruby (and JRuby or RoR) developers to have their own IDE in Visual Studio.  Sapphire Steel's newest creation is approaching the finish line with this week's beta 8 release  of Amethyst - a Visual Studio IDE for the Adobe Flash Platform.

Amethyst has been in beta for more than a year, and this week the project reached its 8th and final beta.  The Flex/Flash development environment facilitates the creation of applications by dragging components from the toolbox into the Amethyst Designer.  You double-click to automatically create an event-handler, after which you add any other necessary code.  Then your Flex application is ready to run or debug.
