We are using EA 4.10 (I'm guessing this is the problem!)
We are using it to model systems created using Flash so the language we want to use is ActionScript2.
We want to add actionscript as a Languages Datatype but critically make that available across projects.
At the moment if we add actionscript our descriptions are only available for the project where they were added not for other ones - is there a solution?

You can export your datatypes from one model into another by selecting Tools | Export Reference Data. The entry to export for your datatypes is "Model Data Types - Code and DDL".
Once you've done that you can open the target model and select Tools | Import Reference Data. If you do this into your base model, all models created after that will have the datatypes defined.
The same procedure can be followed for your code templates.
Please see http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/importexportrefdata.htm
By the way, EA 6.0 and up includes support for Actionscript code engineering, so you wouldn't need to do all this yourself.
See http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/actionscript_conventions.htm for details about how Actionscript is handled in EA.
