Flex Tools on Del.icio.us

I’m collecting useful links for flex developers on del.icio.us/flextools

If you want to send any useful flex development tools or info to the list, add them with your own del.icio.us account and tag them with for:flextools (and anything else useful.)

Thanks.

FlexFormatter

If you are looking for code formatting tools for Flex Builder, scoot over to https://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/ Ernest Pasour has built an excellent set of source code tools for Flex Builder.

  • Code Formatter
  • Auto Commenting
  • Source Code Reordering

The downloaded zip file can be extracted into the eclipse/dropins folder, and it’ll just work when you restart eclipse. Ernest was also kind enough to provide instructions for source formatting from the command line, so you can format a whole tree of source code at once.

Great for getting your code painlessly adhering to the Flex Coding Conventions.

FlexFormatter also provides a tool for adding asdoc stub comments, (much like my as3dac tool) and should be easy to use for anyone, (admittedly my scripts aren’t for the faint hearted.)

The source code re-ordering tool allows you to re sort the appearance of various parts of a class automatically, constant, constructor, class fields, accessors, mutators and methods all sorted for you effortlessly.

It’s some really great work, and a useful addition to your flex tool set.
