lex 3 Beta on Mac solves the multi-display issue; in Flex 2.01 it wasn't possible to break the various panels in flex apart across multiple displays like you could easily do in the Windows version. They said it was due to some limitation of Eclipse on Mac. In Flex 3, right-click on the tab of any panel and select detached from the context menu. Now drag anywhere to your heart's content!

Same here, I am running multiple monitors and the main panel I want detached won't, the code view.

I did a little more hunting in the Eclipse Bugzilla; perhaps this is not fixed yet: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8886 --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Same here, I am running multiple monitors and the main panel I want detached won't, the code view.

This will give you a 2nd view of the window. Drag that tab to the edge of the window--the cursor will change from a stack of folders to an arrow. When it changes to an arrow, let go--you now will have a split view. You can change one of the views to Design and keep the other one as Source. Sometimes, Eclipse forgets to colorize the Source side (not sure what causes this), but changing the Source panel to Design and then back to Source remedies this for me. I'm using 3.2.2.

No, Seems like the mxml code/design module is one piece.

Are you guys all on Windows platform? I can split flexbuilder across monitors in Windows, but on Mac it seems limited to a single screen - none of the panes detach. The split-screen view does work though - thanks for the tip! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No, Seems like the mxml code/design module is one piece.
