Setting up Flash Builder 4

Here are my tips for setting up Flash Builder 4 for maximum utility.

SVN: Subclipse
Git: EGit
Minimize the package explorer and outline and use two panes for source files (see image)
Generate ASDoc HTML using External Tool
Use “Set as Default Application” on main source file so that you can use the run keyboard shortcut while focused on any file.
Use the Flash Debug Player to get traces in Flash Builder
I’m still searching for the best way to launch your swf in the Flash Debug Player instead of the browser.
Use Ant!
Enjoy!
