I really enjoy little community based competitions contributions like this one at http://www.riagora.com/ put on by Adobe Flash Platform Evangelist, Michaël Chaize.

Time to promote the amazing new features of Flash Builder 4 to experiment the best coding experience for your Flex 3 and Flex 4 projects. To highlight these new features, I could list them (as I did in a previous post), I could record them… or I could make you work a little bit! This time, I want you to showcase the Flash Builder 4 features.

They are all short little “quick tip” style videos and do not take much time to look over (about 2 minutes a pop). With so many new little features in Flash Builder 4, you are bound to learn something new! Get over to RIAgora to view all the submissions. Congratulations to all the winners!!!

Here is my submission which was recorded last week – converting Flex projects from Flash to AIR:

Honestly- I love stuff like this. Please tip me off if you hear of anything else!

Flex Builder “Gumbo” Renamed to Flash Builder

Flash BuilderThe obvious reason being that Flash is the overarching platform with many tools, IDEs, runtimes, et cetera and Flex is a framework used to produce Flash content. Flex Builder has always produced Flash (NOT FLEX) and I’ve encountered many people who just never could grasp this fact. This will help clarify things for so many people. Unfortunately, there will probably be a pretty big backlash from some sides as well.

Ted Patrick (@adobeted) announced the change over Twitter this evening. There’s a lively conversation going on now: Join in!

UPDATE:
Read an official statement from Lee Brimelow or Serge Jespers regarding the change.
