Maybe even it is possible to make some Memory Drive ( in RAM ) and put all sources, flex etc . But this solution is, when we will opt that it`s the HDD speed which makes compilation slow - I`m not sure if it is like that.
About mxmlc and ant - I`ve read somewhere that flex builder is using a compiler based on java, and each time you compile - it takes few precious seconds to generaly load and start java machine. 5 seconds each 2 minutues is 4% of time , its 20 minutes for 8 hours. Doesn`t mxmlc and ant requre using some command line etc ? How about debuggin then ? Flex Builder is really nice tool and it helps by showing some class def, jumping to variable declarations, switching to debug view with expresion evaluations etc etc, but it needs to work extremly fast ! The best programming workspace I`ve had was Visual Studio 6.0 for C++, in times when I was using some 800Mhz proc and 256MB ram. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Josh McDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Heh.
