Very simple and excellent post, thanks.
How about Eclipse plugins? i note that there is a lack of the kind of control you can have for instance on php or c++ at the moment, and actionscript3 is far from supported…

Hey thanks for that. It was amazing.
Do you know if there’s anyway to get eclipse to highlight as3 syntax?

John:
Glad I could help and thanks for the feedback.

You can debug your apps without buying flex builder. All of the compile error data will show up in eclipse when you compile. I used only the SDK for a while but finaly broke down and baught Flex 2. I’m very happy with the purchase. I spend much less time getting tools to work and playing with different eclipse plugins.

Thanks for this introduction. I’m currently exploring whether I should buy Flex Builder or just use Eclipse with some addons. I don’t really need the graphical GUI editor from Flex builder but I would want to debug my applications. Is that possible without Flex builder?

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you for making this clear. I keep reading about the “Free” flex SDK, but when you try to find out how to use it “free” there is not much documentation. This is a great snippet of educational code. THANK YOU!
