I created FlashAntTasks as an alternative for the project panel if you have Flex Builder

The new project panel is a much needed improvement over the last one (I used it about once?). Well done!

External AS editing support would be nice as the one in Flash isn't the best… I use FlashDevelop.

I am really confused by this move to the new project panel. All the dialogs come up wrap inside the panel, thus needing to having it at a lrger size etc. It is really hard to understand how Adobe can let this kind of (fundamental item) go backwards. Are they trying to stop everybody using Flash all together? Great new features, not-so-great changes…

P.S.

In their semi-lengthy diatribe on JSFL Bugs in CS3, "Josh" writes about something called XFL (that in turn Colin "Genius" Moock has written about).

I'm not a French-speaker (to any certified degree!) but I think I've found an English translation of Savage's link (Nov 11th):
http://www.flashguru.co.uk/communicating-between-actionscript-and-jsfl

As I understand it (AKA what Adobe says what is *can* be capable of) Flex probably has three ways to do the same thing, though I don't know any
As it stands JSFL's FileSystem class looks darned useful; shame I want future-proofing in the project I'm making (i.e any use of it won't work in CS4)

so now that its out any idea of how to get back my cs3 project window i miss it. i used it to batch publish and wish they would have atleast made a check all button clicking off 123 files was 15 min of pure fun then i waited. i ran a test cs3 vs cs4 batch publish same files both with some stuff. so basicly cs3 stuff. 100 files.

cs4
took 8 min to check them on
took 43 min to publish
cs3
took 30 seconds to add
took 28 min to publish

thanks adobe for making my coffee brake longer im sure my boss loves it. lol
