   Oh man, that is exactly what I was thinking...I've already got the beta Flex Builder, SDK, and AIR downloaded.
   
   I hope to find the strength to get some actual work done this week. Between this and CF 8 my world is rockin' right now.

   Still no templates! Everything else is great, but its still missing what even the simplest text editors have had for years. FDT 3 anyone...

   wonderful!
   
   I've been really excited reading your posts this week and have been amazed at the amount of new features only to find out that you've under sold it! There's so much more than you told us about. And this version is NOT feature complete? what can I say.
   
   Thanks for all the teams hard work on this one.
   
   cheers

   Was the source code for the AdvancedDataGrid not released? If so where? I couldn't find it in the SDK

   Agreed! The Adobe Flex, Apollo and Flash Player teams deserve a lot of credit. They're dedication and passion is what keeps this industry going! Thanks Ted for mentioning them. Sometimes with all of the excitement we forgeet the long hours and hard work that the engineers, project managers and product managers put in.
   
   And I also think that what you do as evangelist is incredibly important! Thanks for keeping us up to date and up to speed with everything going on at Adobe. Kudos to everyone!!
   
   Cheers,
   Sam

    Congrats. All fantastic pieces of work - I think the framework caching is a big step forward.
    
    Big ups to the team!

    This is all good stuff....
    
    But let's not get ahead of ourselves - Flex is playing catchup with a whole load of other developer environments. For example, .NET and native C++/win32 all offer profiling, modules, localisation, outlining, etc.
    
    However, Flex is the only environment that offers us a platform-independent method of creating rich online apps, and that's why we are working with it.
    
    We're beginning a large project in Flex that is really going to stretch it. In fact we would have found a number of tasks really awkward without some of the new stuff such as modules and optimised compilation (our build times are getting really long).
    
    Despite all this lovely stuff in Flex Builder, I think there are a number of deficiencies in ActionScript itself, and I've already listed some of them on the Flex Builder forum here We are currently working around these, but I think most of these would have to be addresses before we can call Flex a truly enterprise-capable environment.
    
    Finally, I add my thanks to the Adobe guys for what they have done so far.....

    Thanks a lot guys, your work is really appreciated! I'm also relieved because the Builder is still relying on Eclipse 3.2.1, so we can keep our all-in-one development tools (RAD7.0.0.1/FB3-beta).
    
    Definitively, this week is a gOOd week! ^^
