I'm on the Mac, so some of this you may to look and see what the Windows
equivalent is. But here are two things that you can do/use to make your
coding life easier:
Use the Command key (I think it's ALT in Windows) to hold down over a
definition (function call, class, property) and Flex Builder will
underline the word, which is an indication of a hyper link to the actual
definition of the class, function, or property. VERY handy to quickly
jump to your declarations.
The other would be to use the Outline window in Flex Builder, which
shows your properties and methods that you can jump to by
double-clicking on them.
Also, the Key Assist window shows the shortcuts in Flex Builder. You can
find it on the Help menu, or use the associated keyboard shortcut (the
Help menu should tell you what it is).
David Zuckerman did a presentation at 360Flex where he showed a number
of really useful tips and tricks. You can read up on it and view the
presentation here:

I've only been using flex for about 9 months now and eclipse only for
about 2 months before that. I know a lot of you more experienced
developers know a lot of hidden features that were ported over from
eclipse, like how to skip to certain methods while editing a file, the
clean project command -- I am sure there's a lot more. Is there a
known list of handy shortcuts, especially for finding stuff in a long
application. Control-F is tiresome.
Thanks for the tip,
Patrick

bigger... but why??)
Can't tell you why it is growing, other than agreeing with you that at
times the compiled app is growing beyond what it should be.
You can use the Project->Clean... command in Flex Builder to clean
your project and reduce the SWF size to what it normally is.
Hope this helps,

I noticed i changed about 4 lines of code in my app and then compiled
- it went from 420K to 634K... So, I copied my MXML file into a new
MXML File and then my compile size is back to normal?
Does anyone know why this happens? Kinda sucks, yes?
Thanks,
Patrick
