Sorry didn't mean to slash Adobe or FlexBuilder. I was extremely frustrated atm :-). We do really enjoy AS3 and the Flex API. It's pretty hard to find information on how to use these features in a structured way. To me it seems extremely limiting if you can't split your application up within a project easily. Now we have spent weeks on getting up to speed with limited information online. If I wasn't already using Eclipse, ANT, and Hamtasc for AS2 development this process would have taken ages.
Here is a few good links on the topic if others are interested in modular applications. http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/pdfs/modular.pdf (Creating Modular Applications) http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=76 (Use of RSL's and modules) http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.ht m?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts <http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.h tm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=modular_083_1.html> &file=modular_083_1.html (Flex 2 developer guide) http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/2006/06/modular_applications_part_1.html (by Roger Gonzalez) Jonas _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Gonzalez Sent: den 27 februari 2007 13:38 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Just curious, A big development team or individual developers Modules were a point-release feature that were released earlier than the corresponding IDE support so that we could get feedback from the community about what people wanted. If we had waited to get Module support into FlexBuilder, you wouldn't have seen Modules until 3.0. Would that have been preferable to you? -rg _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of - FI / Jonas Eliasson + Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 8:24 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Just curious, A big development team or individual developers We are a team of 6 developers working on a flex project from two offices using SVN. We have a modular setup where we use different RSL's and external modules which are pulled in from a main application. This way we can work independently. I have been developing Adobe (Macromedia) products for about 5 years and this time I was hoping for a solid product. But right now it feels like I am a paying beta tester... Flexbuilder is not easy to setup for a modular application approach. Right now we are using the Flex SDK and ANT which makes it easier to set up a large application with many external modules and RSL's. Now we only use Flexbuiler for the text editor and step debugger. $500 for a text editor, silly huh! Hopefully we will se good updates in the near future.

I am entirely new to flex and AS3 with more of a design/html background. I'm now knee (sometimes it feels neck deep) in the front end design while my partner is more code PHP background is providing the code and architectures. It seems to work. We are sharing with CVS through flex builder, but it is tough to work on the main file (commit - update issues "maybe someone has some advice on this area). It is working, but we are only 6 weeks in and development has definately been slowed by our learning curve, But with that said I'm head over heels in love with Flex and AS. We plan to add an additional developer over the next two weeks (any ideas where to find a respectable one?) --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Robert Chyko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For the project I am on now, it is just me. > > For the project that is being designed it will be a team.
