		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another trick I use quite often in Flash Builder 4.5. To be honest, this feature may have been in Flash Builder 4 and I just didn&#8217;t notice it, but I discovered it with Flash Builder 4.5 (and I&#8217;ve enhanced it with templates, which are definitely a FB 4.5 feature =). If you want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written several articles about Flash Builder 4.5&#8217;s code templates feature. However, I got a question by email today that made me realize another aspect of templates that&#8217;s potentially confusing. Specifically, I was asked about the &#8220;Flash Builder&#8221; template category, and how to access those templates (since they don&#8217;t show up in the code hint [...]]]></description>

Since I moved to mostly ActionScript coding I&#8217;ve been hunting for an editor that comes close to the features Visual Studio has, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already written about how to use the code templates feature in Flash Builder 4.5. One less-obvious aspect of templates is that some templates behave differently if you have some characters or lines selected. For example, suppose you have one or more lines of code you&#8217;ve entered, and now you realize you want them to [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s easy to share templates with others, which is great for teams or just for helping others so they don&#8217;t have to re-invent the wheel. Templates (like other settings) are not persisted between workspaces by default, [...]]]></description>

This feature allows you to edit the same position in a block of lines at once. This is very useful when you&#8217;re copying and pasting a block of code and you [...]]]></description>

The final release of Flash Builder takes this much farther. [...]]]></description>

Flash Builder has pretty nice support for FlexUnit, which I find to be the easiest way to include testing in my development workflow. However, one problem is that Flash Builder ships on a different schedule than FlexUnit, so when a new FlexUnit version [...]]]></description>
