FDT 3.5
Finally installed FDT 3.5 yesterday. I don’t write Flex Apps, so the MXML support is nice to see but doesn’t really affect me. I noticed a lot more templates, and today I was pleased to see that the quick fix to rename a class also automatically renames the constructor if it is present. It always annoyed me that this wasn’t the default behavior in FDT 3.2.
I also recommend the three-part online training course on FDT by Alan Klement. More details here. Alan’s blog is also a great resource for FDT tips and also general Flash development topics.
Project Names for Ant Build Files
Just posted this over at the DS Tech Blog: Project Names for Ant Build Files. Completely obvious, yet somehow it’s taken me a year to realize this. It’s not usually an issue when you only have one project open, but today I was staring at three build files in the Ant panel, all named “project”. So, just another small step towards better workflow.
