Flash Builder Development

Keeping me honest

I saw Brian post about his old bugs from his Macromedia/Adobe days, and I got inspired. If you want to see the bugs I’m fixing for Flex Builder Moxie, click here. Our issues are classified by category, so here’s a quick cheat sheet. Code Model is the language intelligence module that drives many of the cool features within Flex Builder. The editors are split into separate component categories, so the ActionScript and MXML editors are considered different units. They are very different, so this is an accurate reflection of our architecture. Other components, like Find Definition or Refactoring are pretty self explanatory, and Code Hinting is our intelli-sense/code completion module.

Jira allows users to vote on issues and chime in to make sure their voices are heard. That’s really why we did this: to make sure that our users can see what we’re doing, and to make sure we’re working on the right issues.

I’ll post later today or tomorrow about the new code editing features in the beta so stay tuned!

  3. Is there a way to customize the AS class template that FlexBuilder uses when we create a new class. I would like to add some standard comments and stubs to that template such that all my new classes have that by default.

    Thanks,
