Gotta sound in with much the same. It's just nuts that the amount of effort going into making the SDK as accessible as is without taking care of such _basic feature as code formatting. It reminds one of the old MOM days when well known bugs lived long beyond the introduction of new features.
I think perhaps those adept at looking at code don't understand how much noobs depend on seeing the boundaries of a given code-block based on formatting. It appears to be not addressed in beta3. respectfully --steve... On 10/5/07, dbronk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have seen a sneak peak a month or 2 ago of FlexBuilder 3.
