I'm sure that's the case, and I'm not trying to trivialize the immense
amount of work that the FlexBuilder team put into the tool. I love it, and
by and large the code editing is heads and tails above the Flash IDE or
Dreamweaver, IMO. I just really like that feature, and am surprised that we
haven't seen anything even attempting it from either Adobe or the
OSS/Eclipse community.

I think the answer is that the FlexBuilder team believed other feaures
deserved higher priority. Autoformatting a language like AS3 isn't a trivial
amount of work.

 Ok, maybe I'm just lazy, or maybe I'm the only one that doesn't like
to do some things manually, but I love the source formatting tools in
Dreamweaver and Flash, and I have to wonder, why do we not have
something similar in FlexBuilder?

Yes I know I can select a block of text, right click and click shift
right, or shift left, but I'd like a menu item or shortcut that will
go through and align my code according to my preferences, like in
Flash and Dreamweaver. Anybody know of anything out there that will do
this for me?
