You may be able to skip this. Since working on with multiple developers this method of versioning will get out of sync.

You should not need to setup a server for some most use cases.

You'll want to use the Apache Flex SDK here instead of what is in the screenshot.

The main project has an Ant Builder that runs when you compile the project. It auto-increments the build number and sets the current date. It may no longer be valid if we are both working on it. We'll have to figure out another solution for this.

 

ABOUT

This project is to help the Flex community and HTML developer/designers to some degree. I think web and application development can be better. For many it is horrible (not bad as it was). I talk to people all of the time in school and community and there is still a lot of suffering through it. I refer to those in the HTML world and those who have not yet got a grasp on development. I think you should be able to start at any stage and progress to any stage and the tool to still be useful. I had a lot of trouble in my early days of software development. I believe that we can give designers tools to do their design work and give developers tools to do their development work in the same software. I'm looking really at the way Drumbeat 2000 did it a few years ago and taking something from there that I haven't seen anywhere else. There are many things that can be better in my opinion than the current dev and design software. I'm also looking at all the great features that were in all of the other great tools I've used in like, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Photoshop and many others and mixing them together in an appropriate way.


Flash Builder DV and Java FX Scene Builder are good guidelines for to where we want to go,

At runtime you can use the MiniInspector class let's you can click on an CMD click on an object and it will details about the element. You can set properties and styles on the selected object. It can be set to show style declarations and style inheritance in the console. You have to CMD + click an object and if you have the property showInheritedStyles set to true it will show styles on the object. This can be used as a starting point for a visual panel for CSS.
