First Look at Flash Builder 4 (Beta1)

I wanted to list down my first feel of launch of FlashBuilder4-Beta1 and how it made different from FlexBuilder3. This post is not intended to list down all the differences between FlexBuilder4Beta1 and FlashBuilder3 but however, it is only intended to get the FIRST FEEL DIFFERENCE of your regular FlexBuilder3 and FlashBuilder4 Beta1

Name Change of FlexBuilder perspective to Flash - (Flash vs Flex Development, Flash Debug vs Flex Debugger, Flex Profiling vs Flash Profile)

New Start Page

First thing, you do is to right click on the Package Explorer and create a new project. As you rightclick you see new entry "Execute FlexUnit Tests". FlexUnit integrated into flex builder... New->Test Case Class, New-> Suite Class are also new entries.

New Panels - Data/Services, Network Monitor...

New Data-Connect wizards...

Blaze DS (integrated option)

Fx icon changed to f with new Flex 4 libraries

New Enhanced Package Explorer, Shows package view, Flex4 lib....

 AS Doc as soon as you try to open up type on the tag name through the code hinting dialog. ASDoc panel which shows docs. Its one of the best features that has been missing for a long time (ofcourse driven from java perspective - eclipse)

<mx:script> changed to <fx:script>

Auto-Generation of event handlers from within flex builder...auto-generated click event handler for the button..

AsDoc comment....

and a lot more....
