Unfortunately, yes, I get runtime errors sometimes when screens are split and
you close some tabs. You can choose to ignore the errors and FlashDevelop will
keep on trucking. You don't have to quit.

Anyway, I've been using FlashDevelop for so long I think I've really become
spoiled by its excellent auto-completion feature. Flex Builder seems pretty
week by comparison. AFAICT, it doesn't autocomplete in-scope member-names,
doesn't give any hints for the import command, doesn't

Okay, that part is the same in FlashDevelop. Thanks!

Could someone describe what this behavior is? It's not clicking for some

FlashDevelop auto-completes class, instance and local vars, as well as native
key words like public, private, class, interface, implements, function, static,
const, etc. FDT and FB do not.
Here's what toggle line does

world();
CTRL+T on world line
world();
hello();
While this
Ahh, okay. Ctrl + T would be useful. I didn't really notice that keywords
were missing from auto-complete.
What annoys me more about FB's auto-complete is that it occasionally simply
vanishes either because of a parse error in your code or (just as often) for
no reason. Then again, that could

This statement is absolutely incorrect, and a bit baffling. Clearly if it
didn't do that stuff nobody would ever use it.
FDT does indeed complete all those, and I haven't looked at FB in a while
but would be absolutely stunned if that was in fact accurate. The default
code hinting is just when you

Install the new Flex SDK, point FD to it. Then, create a new Flex
project in FD.
FD supports both Actionscript and MXML syntax, among others.

FlexBuilder absolutely does NOT do auto-completion of class, instance and local
vars (FD also does function names, etc.). I've never seen FDT do it, either,
but that link obviously makes it clear that it is possible (though completely
undocumented, not to mention that field doesn't look like
FDT does the auto-error check, which is so sweet - i read that FD
doesn't have the ability to get that info, even with a plugin...
I have built projects on all three, and if I'm on pc I like FD with
the find/replace expanded extension.

OK, so, burning with curiosity (and a desire to postpone doing the latest
batch of client changes), I fired up Flex Builder, created a private var,went
into the constructor, hit ctrl-space, and the autocomplete shenanigans
triggered. If ya type in the first

You have to hit CTRL+SPACE. This is not a mere difference. You have to stop
writing code to get auto-completion. Even worse, it's not live which means it
breaks your natural flow.
