So with the release of sitecore 8.1 also came some minor changes to how the javascript are structured, this means that to run the Sitecore Field Editor from a Speak Command in Sitecore Experience editor, which i presented in this post, a minor changes is required. All that is needed to be changed is the way the reference to Experience editor is handled the full Javascript with the modification is show below.

define(["sitecore", "/-/speak/v1/ExperienceEditor/ExperienceEditor.js"], function (Sitecore, ExperienceEditor) {
    Sitecore.Commands.LaunchFieldEditor =
    {
        canExecute: function (context) {
            //YOU COULD ADD FUNCTIONALITY HERE TO SEE IF ITEMS HAVE THE CORRECT FIELDS
            return true;
        },
        execute: function (context) {
            // THIS IS FOR THE ALT TEXT ON IMAGE
            context.currentContext.argument = context.button.viewModel.$el[0].firstChild.alt;

            //THIS IS THE TOOLTIP ON LINK TAG "A"
            context.currentContext.argument = context.button.viewModel.$el[0].title;
            console.log(Sitecore);
            console.log(ExperienceEditor);
            ExperienceEditor.PipelinesUtil.generateRequestProcessor("ExperienceEditor.GenerateFieldEditorUrl", function (response) {
                var DialogUrl = response.responseValue.value;
                var dialogFeatures = "dialogHeight: 680px;dialogWidth: 520px;";
                ExperienceEditor.Dialogs.showModalDialog(DialogUrl, '', dialogFeatures, null);
            }).execute(context);

        }
    };
});

Only modification is the mapping of The Experience editor is now loaded with a direct link to ExperienceEditor.js Line 1.
