Flash Builder
Flash Builder (Fig. 1.3), which was previously named Flex Builder,
is an IDE built by Adobe for the purpose of working with the Flex
framework. The reason for the recent name change with version 4
was to tie it in more closely with the Flash Platform while also
drawing a clear line of distinction between the IDE and the frame-
work. The Flex framework itself also moved up in version number
(to version 4) and includes new namespaces, components, and
other tools to make your work as a designer or developer a whole
lot easier while helping you complete tasks and projects much
more quickly. Again, Flash Builder is available from the Adobe
