I will start programming in an AS2 application and would like to know which is the best IDE to use.
I searched and found these two:
Flashdevelop and Intellij IDEA.
I’ve worked with Android Studio that they say is very similar to Intellij and was extremely good, really good.
PS: In the future this application will be migrated to HTML5 and Javascript, I do not know if this is valid to comment.
Hugs.

* Both the question and my answer can be based on opinion...
Currently there are some well-known Ides, among the two you mentioned there are still paid ones Flash Professional and Flash Builder, both from Adobe. The most popular and recommended free is Flashdevelop, I say this in the amount of active (Brazilian) developers the community has, help forums and constant updates of the IDE itself, not to mention that the platform is similar to Flash Builder.
I don’t know if it’s worth tracing lines of code in Actionscript 2.0 to design content for Javascript in the future. Although similar, you will lose some time, certainly should change much of the programming. Not to mention that many lines of Actionscript 2.0 will get lost in one or two Javascript functions, because it hasn’t been updated for a long time, and Adobe has been following the constant updates with SDK Flex, Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe AIR itself.
Look for the possibility to start the application with Javascript to try to skip a certain programming time for the application. Today Javascript already offers plenty of resources for Web that are superior to Flash, as in performance and animations for example. And very good frameworks.
First of all, thank you very much for your answer. So, about getting started in Javascript, it’s something we don’t have a choice in. The project is already developed in AS2 and is an embedded application that can not stand more than this, which makes it impossible to migrate to AS3. We are developing a better device and with this, we will have the Webkit to be able to write the code in javascript and Html5, which will be my work. But until that happens, I will have to maintain an AS2 code I’ve never seen before, so I doubt the IDE. But thank you so much, I will use the flash Builder then! Thanks, hugs

I advise you to use the AS3. AS2 since 2006 is no longer updated and the AS3 has much more features. Even Flash Professional CC 2014 has a native HTML5 export tool.

But it is an AS2 embedded application that is impossible to migrate to AS3.
