Beyond the Basics of Flex Builder

Notes:

- Flex is now open source, and the SDK is on a nightly build that can be pulled down anytime
- Using that in conjunction with he new open bug database, you can actually test out fixes prior to official release to see if they solve your problem

- Flex Builder 3 supports multiple SDKs now
- SDK can be assigned on a per project basis
- Compiler/Design/Code intelligence pull from the assigned SDK

- Discussion on how to set up a pulled down SDK for building the SDK when you want to update framework code to test fixes you make, and then run your project against our modified framework
- Requires a little bit of setup

- Flex Builder 3 code behind has been enhanced to support code jumping (CTRL+click) through all include code
- It has also been fixed to support code jumping through all levels of the code tree, backwards and forwards

- There is a faster SWC parsing implementation that has been placed in Flex Builder 3 but was disabled for the beta 2 as it did not get sufficient testing for the release
- Can be enabled by putting down a file called “use.newABC”
- This update cuts project load time in half and will be in the next release officially
