LFFS - 12: Flex Builder Part 2 - Getting Acquainted With The Workbench

The Learning Flex From Scratch series on InsideRIA has a new installment. We've been dedicating some posts to using the Flex Builder IDE. Previously, we covered the installation of Flex Builder, both as a standalone IDE, and as a plugin with Eclipse. We're taking it to the next step this time by exploring the workbench layout as we import the calculator application we've covered before.

We'll post an updated version when we get the bugs fixed, so please be patient!

Cheers!
