we don't use flex builder at workbut rather eclipse and Oxygen xml plugin. get oxegyn to point to the mxml schema, and with a wee bit more jigging (i can mail you the settings file we import) you haver code hinting for your mxml in eclipse. granted there is no design view, but i never use that anyway so...

I'm a enterprise developer who is starting a company focused on RIA development. Flex is
my tool of choice. For the past five months, I've been learning the platform, best practices
(love you i::2!), prototyping and promoting applications for my target industry, trying to
gain mindshare for this wonderful product we call Flex. I'm not yet developing anything
for profit or deployment.
My dilema is that I don't yet have the capital to buy the very costly licence for Flex so that I
can continue to explore and prototype. That will come soon. Until then, my trial copy of
Flex Builder v1.5 expires regularly and I am left scrambling to get it going again.
Although the Flex 2 alpha is available and I eagerly await it's full Enterprise glory many
months from now, all of my prototypes have been developed in v1.5 and some of them
use the YahooMaps Flex component which requires v1.5 as far as I know.
I believe I've tried all options to continue to use Flex Builder 1.5. I've requested a free
copy for single/non-profit developers...denied. I've wiped down my hard drive and
reinstalled Flex Builder...doesn't work (but the Flex server is quite happy to give me
another 60 days).
It's been quite painful begging my Macromedia rep for Flex Builder licence extensions over
the past few months. My Flex Builder trial is up once again. My Macromedia rep won't
even respond to my email requests this time round and it's been 10 days and a few
follow-ups since I've asked. Making things worse, I'm going to present some of my
prototypes next week and don't really want to resort to a text editor to modify my
projects.
Are other "licence-less" developers here experiencing this frustration? Is there a less
painful way to deal with the expiration/renewal process until my company needs to
commercially develop and deploy a product?
Looking forward to your feedback.
