FlexBuilder is built on top of Eclipse. Unfortunately, Eclipse didn't support the text drag and drop functionlity universally, and the FlexBuilder team didn't have the time to add it in on their own.
However, Eclipse 3.3 has universal text drag and drop support for text editors, so we should get it for "free" when running Eclipse 3.3 and FlexBuilder. Eclipse 3.3 is targetted to be done "late June", which should mean it'll be released soon. The FlexBuilder 3.0 beta works with the current Eclipse 3.3 beta. So.. in other words, it's just a matter of time. -d Simon Bailey wrote: > A niggle I found with Flex also, bit of a pain.
