This article will explain in detail what the concept and characteristics of FlexBuilder are. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

[FlexBuilder]

FlexBuilder4 will be renamed FlashBuilder4

On June 1, 2009, Adobe announced that the next generation of FlexBuilder4 would be renamed FlashBuilder4, which aroused the objection of many developers.

LeeBrimelow, a propagandist for the Adobe platform, explained to many developers why FlexBuilder was renamed FlashBuilder.

FlexBuilder will be history.

On the issue of FlashIDE, LeeBrimelow said that the new FlashIDE,Flash will not be repositioned and will remain the primary tool for animation and design on the Flash platform, and Adobe will currently focus part of its efforts on FlashCS5 code editors to satisfy some ActionScript developers. Because Flex is an ActionScript framework for creating RIA, name changes make it easier for Flex to make the Flash brand more solid and understandable.

It talks about the purpose of creating FlexBuilder in order to create a Flex framework, but many developers still simply use ActionScript to do their work. After FlexBuilder renames FlashBuilder, it will continue to be based on Eclipse products, and more features will be added.

On the question of FlexSDK, LeeBrimelow said that Adobe has no plans to rename SDK. He said that many developers use it to compile pure ActionScript projects, and when talking to others, the focus is still on technology rather than presentation.

[FlexBuilder feature]

1) PackageExplorer

If you are familiar with JDT in Eclipse, you must be familiar with this feature. FlexBuilder3 only supports resource browsers, that is, browsing in the form of project files. PackageExplorer, as the name implies, browses the structure of Pakcage, which is more suitable for developers. In addition, you can expand a class to browse the structure of this class (the same as Outline). Not only that, PackageExplorer also supports browsing SWC files in this structure.

2) Code template

Although we can now implement code templates through plug-ins, native support is always more comfortable. The code template also supports "environment variables". For example, if you can add "${project_name}" to the template, this part of the content will be converted to the project name. Code templates can be configured in preferences (Preference).

3) packet reconstruction

Refactoring has always been something that I am not satisfied with FlexBuilder. To be honest, package-based refactoring should be a relatively basic function.

4) ASDoc prompt when hovering

It is also a function that is "inherited" from Eclipse and supports links in ASDoc.

5) Getter&Setter

It is easy to add Getter and Setter to your code. (there is an episode here. Heidi forgot to restore the code to a state without Setter before the demonstration, so she had to change the code back on the spot and lovingly said "Don't look" ^ _ ^ to the audience.)

6) automatically generate EventHandler

This feature is much more convenient than using code templates.

7) RuntoLine

Sometimes when we debug, we will find that the breakpoint setting is not reasonable, for example, the breakpoint location is far away from the code snippet we are concerned about, so we can use the RuntoLine function to execute the program to the specified location immediately.

8) conditional breakpoint

As the name implies, the program will be interrupted only when certain conditions are met, which I think is very useful, especially when debugging some complex logic, it will greatly save time and relax your nerves at the same time. So that you don't have to start all over again if you don't notice.

9) NetworkMonitor

It is also a very useful feature that you can now monitor network connection data in debug mode, such as WebService SOAP data and HTTP request and response content.

(in fact, Heidi has only introduced nine new features so far, and after introducing the eighth one, she seems to have miscounted. So I took into account the ServiceExplorer introduced at the beginning, a total of 10).

10) ServiceExplorer

ServiceExplorer can easily browse the server-side API (such as WebServices or RemotingServices) and its ValueObject. At the same time, it can also automatically create as-side VO according to the server-side VO.
