I'd wait on the MacBook a little while longer... they're updating them as soon as Intel starts shipping their Core 2 Duo laptop processors and it'll be alot faster. Plus I've heard rumors they'll be changing the case design at that point to, so here's to hoping they don't use another aluminum case that interferes with the WiFi. :-)

I have a MacBook Pro and run bootcamp + Flexbuilder. Many devs
internally are running Parallels to use Flex Builder and the set-up works great.
The entire Flex Builder team got MacBooks for development of the Mac version of
Flex Builder. Adobe is very serious about making FlexBuilder great on both Win
and Mac similar to all other Adobe tools.

 

More to come…

Thanks for the link! Turns out my
information was 3 days older.

 

Perhaps I can get that MacBook Pro sooner
than I thought? :)

Flex
Builder on the Mac


There have been many
questions over the last few days as to Adobe's intentions for releasing Flex
Builder on the Mac. As part of our continuing effort at transparency here is a
short list of questions and attempts at answers. Let us preface this by saying
that we have only begun the planning phases of the next release(s), so many of
these answers will be incomplete until we've had some more time (and sleep).


Q: Is there going to
be a Flex Builder release for the Mac? 
A: Yes


Q: Why wasn't it
released with the Windows version? 
A: We began by developing Flex Builder for both Mac and Windows at the same
time. However during development we ran into a number of issues that were
specific to OS X and needed to be addressed in Eclipse itself. Fixing those
issues would have meant delaying the overall schedule, so we decided to focus
on finishing the Windows release before returning to the Mac in a follow-up. In
the meantime the Eclipse community has been working on Eclipse 3.2 which fixes
a number of the issues we ran into earlier. This makes the likelihood of a
timely Mac release that much better, and we're looking forward to continuing to
improve Eclipse on the Mac. 


Q: When will Flex
Builder for the Mac be available?
A: We are still in our planning phases but we are hoping to have a public beta
on Labs this year and the production release early next year. One can imagine a
particular event in October where we'd be thrilled if we could launch the beta,
but we simply don't know our timelines yet. We can say that a whole lot of Flex
Builder engineers just received shiny new toys to help in this pursuit, while
Product Management received nothing. Not that Product Management is jealous.


Q: If I buy Flex
Builder for Windows can I transfer that license to the Mac when it comes out?
A: Honestly we're not sure yet, we still need to figure this out. We'll need
another few weeks to answer this, hopefully before the trial expires.


Q: Will Flex Builder
for Mac run on PPC, Intel, or both?
A: We're very excited about the new Intel-based Macs (at least the engineers
who received them are, PM is still not jealous) and at minimum we will be
supporting that platform. We'd be interested in getting your feedback on the
importance of supporting PPC given how quickly the Intel is getting adopted.
Feel free to leave feedback here.


Q: What about Flash
Player 9 on the Intel for Mac?
A: You can grab a beta version of that Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta


Q: What do I do in
the meantime if I have a Mac?
A: Download and use the free SDK. A number of developers have come up with
workflows for building Flex applications using the Mac; we'll try to put
together a more comprehensive list of them in the next few days.

Just keep in mind that Adobe has not announced any plans to release
a Mac version. They did remark that if they do release a Mac version (and we
all assume they will), it won't be until the next major revision of Flex
Builder. (Does that mean Flex Builder 3? If so, that's 16+ months away!)

Hi,

I would like to thank everybody who has offered me help`-`

I can't figure out how to compile flex applications using eclipse (or any IDE)
on the Mac, and have given up on it. It worked fine in beta 3, but the final
release does not work for me!

I guess I will have to wait for flex builder to come to the mac, as I heard that
is being worked on.

If anybody has a detailed solution and would like to help, please contact me at
school:

Thanks very much for all those who have helped`-`
John
