Solved this one, by following these steps: (using OSX and FB 4.7, but should work with other IDE's )
1) Install the LiveReload server: http://livereload.com/ 2) Set it to watch the bin-debug folder 3) Add this to the index.template.html file: 4) Run the project once 5) Set FB to compile automatically on save (it's actually the default setting) 6) code and save - every time you save, the swf will recompile, and the page will reload. Note: this won't be of use when launching a Debug version. Not sure if that's possible, perhaps if I attach to a remote version? -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Stopping-a-new-browser-window-from-opening-every-time-I-compile-tp8723p8725.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
