Not only the compiler.. the compiler, command line debugger, and all the libraries - including some for which source was not previously provided. You're right though, the design mode stuff would probably all be pretty tricky. But I think it'd be great to have a free "Flex Builder" plugin that included compiling, debugging, code completion and hinting and all that jazz... even without the GUI design mode. I think the $500 IDE is price prohibitive for many developers. rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by AdobeĀ® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
