I noticed something something today that shocked me beyond belief.
For sometime now I have used an Eclipse install and have installed ColdFusion Builder 1, and now ColdFusion Builder 2 beta and got used to the long load times.
But it wasn't CFB1 or CFB2 that was at fault.

Today we had an interesting discussion on this very subject, now we already have one in place. Yet we have varying opinions on why we should do something, but nothing really concrete as the real truth as to why it should be this or that way. I personally have grown to love the fact that the beginning of a block is on the same line as the method, component class or loops etc. My logic behind this is that it is neater, doesn't clutter the workspace and fairly easy to read.
However my logic just doesn't end there.

While doing a project that is a mixture of Flex with some ColdFusion code, I was a little surprised to find that the line debugger in Flex is not worth that much. I mean the only time you can fire a break point, is if you have run the Flex Application from Flash Builder 4.
What this means is that if one was to design a Flex Application that can run stand alone, with some ColdFusion code. And you want to integrate this, or call this application from a full blown ColdFusion Application. You need to pass some variables across from the ColdFusion Application to the Flex Application, but as this is run from the browser then the Flex Application can never have break points for debugging.
I do consider this a very negative thing, but there is a work around.

One of the things that took me by surprise was the way that I couldn't do any debugging while I had ColdFusion Builder and Flash Builder installed in the same Eclipse instance. Debugging ColdFusion projects on their own wasn't a problem and yet I struggled with getting this to work with a Flex and ColdFusion project.
That was till now.
After having a play around with a Flex project for a few months now, I decided to uninstall the beta version that I had been using and install the final release. But I noticed that there was one thing that seemed to be lacking in the design of the workflow and settings of this application.
I have to also assume that this has been a problem with the application for a number of years, and versions prior to this release as well.
For the last few months I was not able to install Flash Builder into any of my Eclipse instances, and today I found out why that is the case.
Since the release of the new Apple iPad, people have continued to raise their disappointment in the fact that Flash won't run on these devices.
Are Adobe really that worried?

This is some very good news.

Adobe posted a KB back in November last year, that Flash Player would not work on windows 64bit version of IE. And now that there is an update to Flash 9 on labs, I am disappointed that there is still no 64Bit player.Come on Adobe wake up, smell the roses. Do we have to wait another year for this, or do we suffer running 32bit applications in a 64bit world.
Not happy Jan..
