For the last couple of weeks I’ve been going through Adobe Flex 2: Training from the Source book and playing with Flex Builder2.
Overall Flex looks as a very solid platform and I look forward using it this year. Though flex builder, that is the IDE that Adobe sells for 499$ is not worth your dollars. The main benefit of it is the syntax highliting and automatic compilation. It is missing all the good features of eclipse that make us java developers so productive: refactoring, source generation, quick type, call list, variable references, and even code formating is missing both for Action Script and MXML.
Ofcourse those minor issues are not blockers, more just annoyances.
There is one issue that I believe flex as platform is missing, or I wasn’t able to find it yet:that is Global Exception Handling.
I would like to be able to define global error handlers on my mx:application so that I can catch all unhandled exceptions and show custom error display or submit http post to my server.
