This is a native Linux port of the Flex Builder IDE (based on Eclipse) for building rich Internet applications. 'Flex Builder Linux is a plugin-only version of the Flex Builder that you can use to build Flex applications on Linux. We wanted to get an early release out with the base Flex Builder features so you could begin to provide us with your feedback and let us know your priorities for additional features.'"

  1. My 'rich' internet experience... by korbin_dallas · · Score: 0, Troll

    mostly consists of annoying as hell boxes that say "You don't have the latest Flash, click here to download."

    To which I usually back up to TEXT ONLY, er Non-Rich Google and choose another site. Now thats 'rich'.

    I HAVE 2 versions of Flash installed already.
    Besides the worst websites use flash, I mean even after I get flash, the site is still busy, ugly, and usually contains less info than a text cache at google anyway.

    So now I guess we get another annoying download box.

    Boycott the tools creating files in proprietary formats, until Adobe either releases the source code for the player(s), or begins producing binary players for all platforms. Win/i386, MacOS/i386 and Linux/i386 is not enough...

    It is one thing for them to want to make money off the authoring tools. But keeping the player closed serves no good purpose to anyone (not even Adobe) and inconveniences many thousands.
