Rethinking the Adobe Flex Toolchain
I recently had a moment to revisit the examples included with the Flex 3.1 SDK and realized that there is really no need for an alternative toolchain because it already exists. Perhaps people did not go through the samples; perhaps they did not understand the batch or shell scripts. I'm not sure, but using the examples, most people should be able to put together a basic Flex app and understand the toolchain.
I might sit down and explain it a bit more in-depth since that is obtuse, but everything is there to use it.
