Hi all, I am using the Flex Builder 3 debugger almost every day and it's starting to be a real pain that the 'Variables' tab in the 'Flex Debugging' view doesn't show local variables, only 'this' is displayed. Also I can not add Watch Expressions for local variables. Am I forgetting something here or is the debugger just very limited...
I edited the index.template.html file, adding a script block to the HEAD section, but my changes are not there when running the project in Debug mode or in Run mode. I'm using SDK 4.0 with the public release of beta 2 (not using nightlies yet) and modified the only template found in this folder: \Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2\sdks\...
I am considering creating a website with the complexity of Facebook that should be able to scale into the millions of users. My question is: Is there any reason not to use Adobe Flex for such large project apart from the obvious point of requiring everyone to have Flash installed and not having to rely on Adobe? In my view Adobe Flex wou...

I want to : Give clients a Flex CSS file to hand edit Allow them to upload the ...
I'm trying to use Flex Compile Time Constants to include the date and time the SWF was built (source control revision/timestamp such as SVN:Keywords is not sufficient for our needs, we need to know the actual build time, not the commit time). I've tried using actionscript (like the documentation suggests you should be able to): -define...

A file called MainTest.as will be placed in the root of the src folder. if I now create a package/folder called some/package and place the MainTest.as in it (and adjust the package s...
I've been trying to setup a working method for unit testing flex libraries using Flex Builder. I have tried setting up a standard flex lib project and using Ant to compile and run the units tests. But this means that when something does go wrong and I want to use the flex builder debugger I cannot do so. So my next plan is to setup the...
