Coding IDE

I’ve switched my development tools from Flash and Notepad++ to Flex Builder. I have tried a number of environments in search of the best environment for my style of coding. Since all of the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook examples are all based on Flex Builder, i decide to give it a try. It has some clear advantages.

  • Based on Eclipse
  • Cross-Platform
  • Integrated AutoComplete and Help
  • Excellent debugging features - This has saved me a bunch time!

Currently, I’m working with the public beta for Flex Builder 3, which looks pretty solid at this point.
