I began using Flex Builder under Windows (v2) and found the context-sensitive help, like in all good IDEs, a lifesaver. Under FB/Win, if I put the cursor under an API function and hit F2, the help would take me right to the function. And, the help was launched in its own app/process. Finally, when using the help, if I searched for a class name the class reference was almost *always* the first hit.
Now, I'm using FB on Mac (v3). The help is far less useful. When I hit F2, the help goes to the class's page, but doesn't jump to the function/property/style. Worse, the help uses my default web browser, so if I'm in the middle of debugging (a common time to need help!) nothing happens as FB has "paused" my browser's process (thus new windows don't pop up). Finally, if I search for something from within the help I get dozens of results before getting the actual class (e.g., search for "DisplayObject" doesn't show the DisplayObject class until many, many, many pages of results later (I assume... I actually gave up looking for it in the list). Is there anything I can do preferences-wise to fix this? It really strips away this as a feature... It's actually faster for me to google DisplayObject (which returns the Flex 2 API reference for that class as the first hit) than it for me to use the built-in help! Troy.
