With this release FDT can easily switched to dark theme:Simply select the Dark theme and apply. The Dark theme is available since Eclipse 4.4 (Luna). Older versions of Eclipse (and FDT) does not support color themes of this form. The FDT views and editors will switch to their default dark color set: In case you […]

We‘re happy to announce FDT Milestone 10! It‘s been 10 years since our first FDT release and a lot happened since last years Milestone 9. We went on to improve FDT and your IDE experience. Here is a list with our new key features: Ant Project Generator Dump launch configuration Library Project Template ActionScript refactorings […]
This new FDT release contains features to support a more fluent development of SWC libraries. The primary starting point to develop a library is the new Library Project Template for AIR or Web: This template creates an empty library project containing two source folders: All compilation units to include into the library should be placed […]
With this release the FDT Explorer can present projects in groups: Each Project Group is a set of workspace projects (i.e.: Working Set). Each project can be a member of one group and can not be shared among groups. Project Groups are logical structures shown inside FDT Explorer. Neither they represent nor they change the […]
People keep telling us, that they have heard some rumors, that the FDT Team doesn’t appreciate Flash Builder. We want to make sure, that everyone knows, that isn’t true. Since we have been both “creators of FDT” and until just recently an “Adobe Interactive Agency Partner” – we want to clear up any gossip. If anyone, inside or outside Adobe, has ever heard any Powerflasher attack Flash Builder, please leave a comment below.
Even though we don’t hesitate to talk about FDT’s advantages, we believe that everyone in the Flash community shares the same goal: to make Flash successful. Any negativity among the community only makes it harder to achieve this goal.
To our power users, we want to thank you for fighting for FDT, but please stay objective and positive. We want to start:
For our agency division, Flash Builder is the tool of choice when we have a MXML development project with an advanced graphic workflow. It has specific features, such as great MXML integration, Design View, CSS Design mode and Creative Suite Integration. All this makes our job easier. We also love it for its powerful data visualization components and round trip workflows between Flash Builder, Flash Professional and Flash Catalyst. Kudos to Adobe. Flash Builder is a great tool for enterprise business applications.
Since FDT focuses strong on a fast coding workflow with AS3, MXML and haXe (for HTML5/JS/WebGL, PHP…) we would never create such features, so thank you Adobe for covering that. We’re aiming to be THE tool for interactive coders and game developers. In working toward this goal we’re proud of the fact that Adobe itself has purchased over 50 FDT licences. Thanks a lot.
It’s unfortunate that both tools do not work better together within Eclipse. Some people have found tricky ways (http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=D830B) – but that can’t be the final solution and we can’t manage that without Adobe’s support. Let us renew the communication about working together that was started in 2007.
We love choices as you do: http://www.adobe.com/choice/flash.html
@Carlos did you get in contact with Jens ?
Sounds good, so any news ?
For an efficiently work with FDT and Flash Builder, FDT should be able to open or to connect with FB 4.5 projects. Then we have a perfect integration between FDT, Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst and also Flash.
@brett, I try to contact Jens
@northwolf – yeah, combine forces 😉
oh ,well, I hope all the communities keep together around Adobe , so that we can make flash everywhere.
I have never heard any gossip of that kind. But I have a question, I know you guys know Jen from Spicefactory.com, the forum has now been down for 3 weeks, is he alright ? what is going on ?
Regards, keep up that great work 🙂
