RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
We don't know right now what the exact behavior of Flex Builder 2 will be if you try to pair it with a later version of the SDK. For example, Design View may break if we refactor some framework code (in implementation, not interface) as we set things up for other features. But the AS3 language won't be changing, and it's still Player 9, so the fundamentals should still work. I don't expect that you'd be able to pair FB2 with a new compiler though, so if we add any MXML language features you may not be able to leverage them. To be very honest, backwards compatibility for apps in an SDK is more important to us than a newer SDK working on an older FB. With that said, one thing that we are investigating is making sure that you can use a newer version of FB with older projects, so you don't have to keep old copies of FB around.

Quick question regarding updates to the framework, new components, etc. If the SDK remains free then in theory we'd be able to use our existing Flex Builder 2 to use any updated components or new ones that are added to the framework, right? You obviously wouldn't get the changes that are made to Flex Builder itself (all the stuff mentioned about workflow, productivity, etc). But any new components should be fairly straight forward to get working in FB 2?

Also ta to David for a very nice explanation of why this isn't a dressed up point release, or a rush to market - in actually fact it's just Adobe showing us what is around the corner earlier (further ?), which can only be a good thing. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to continually network cutting-edge interfaces This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
