Flash builder 4.7 editor seems a lot slower than Flash Builder 4.5
Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 with apache flex 4.9.1 SDK, and the
text editor is extremely slower than Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.
It appears that some kind of background processing is happening, is it
checking all the import statements to see if they are used? Is there an
option to turn this off?
For example, I comment out a line, and it takes 1-2 seconds for the cursor
to return.
I already have 'Build automatically' unchecked.
thanks,
steve

The bugs described by Marcus are really annoying.
There are also topic in the Adobe forum about them (and others), see [1]
and [2] for example.

For those who'd like to try IntelliJ IDEA here's the tutorial how to
import Flash Builder projects into IntelliJ [1]. Although the tutorial
is based on samples from Adobe Gaming SDK, the migration process is
absolutely the same for all kinds of Flex or pure ActionScript projects.
For any questions please write to the forum [2], issue tracker [3] or

Hi,

You just have to be a committer is my understanding. There are a few other companies that also support committers of open source projects with free software eg Microsoft offers MSDN subscriptions to committers.

I am also using FB 4.7 and I really think the FlashBuilder could be better.
I have a lot of projects and one of the web-projects is a little bit bigger (the compiled swf is 8 MB).
It takes up to 40 Seconds for compiling and uses up to 4 GB of RAM. (it's good to change the eclipse.ini ;-) )
And in FB4.7 I have some annoying bugs:
- it shows me that the import XXXX is not used locally, but the import IS used locally
- it shows me that the resource xxxx does not exist, but the file actually exists and
is found when I clicked the class a second time
Will there be a next version of FB or even a bug-fix of the current issues in FB? I am
wondering why FB has this still issues. I know Adobe dropped the development of
the Flex SDK, but I thought the FB is still used for the new Adobe game development
strategy, right? Ok, so I am really considering to use IntelliJ IDEA for developing.
What is the majority here on the list using for development? I thought FB (as eclipse-plugin)
is the best choice, because I can code other files (php, HTML, Java....) of my project in the same IDE.
Thanks

you could always disable design view and it will speed things up or
eventually move to intelliJ (just kidding).

I found Builder 4.7 to be half as fast and use twice as much RAM under
the 1.7 JVM as 1.6, so just went back to that.
WinXP 32bit.

Hi
I having the same issue, with eclipse Juno, I already tried to disable
a lot of things but still became slow after a while, some times in 10
minutes of use, others in a hour, then I have to close and open again
eclipse. Other times just restarting the computer to fix.
I also using tomcat, not sure if affect. If I move to java view, start
to became fast without need to close eclipse.
thanks

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 with apache flex 4.9.1 SDK, and the text editor is extremely slower than Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.
It appears that some kind of background processing is happening, is it checking all the import statements to see if they are used? Is there an option to turn this off?
For example, I comment out a line, and it takes 1-2 seconds for the cursor to return.
I already have 'Build automatically' unchecked.
