[QUOTE="smagfx, post: 1121200, member: 174670"] I am trying to get my mac set up for Flash development and I would like to have .AS files open with the correct program and show up with the correct kind and icon in finder. Unfortunately there are no good actionscript editors for mac so that's a loss (IMO), but I would like to know how to change the icon and the 'kind' of .as files. You can see in the screenshot that the kind says "AppleSingle Archive". This is not what I want; I want to specify a custom kind such as "ActionScript Document". How do I do this? Second, how can I set the .as file icon to a custom icon of my choosing? I know that I can change the default open-with application to something like Flash CS5 but [B]I do not want that[/B], I want to use a custom icon. I've tried using "Default Apps" to change these but that hasn't helped. Somehow the stupid AppleSingle UTI is linked to the .as extension. Even if that wasn't locked down there still doesn't appear to be any place to set a custom kind and icon. [ATTACH=full]13543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]13544[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
