Flash CS5 + Flash Builder CS5 [Ver. 3.2.2]

Thanks for getting the panel updated for CS5!

The only issue I've ran into is that there's some strange characters being generated in the .actionScriptProperties file for Flash Builder import.  The panel is adding "√√∏" before the first xml node "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>".  Since these characters are getting added to the file I'm getting a "your project files might be corrupted" error in Flash Builder.

All I have to do is delete the extra characters and everything loads fine without errors.

Ps... Minor detail, but the panel for CS5 should have a Flash Builder option at the bottom vs. Flex Builder.

try to install the mxp again, you will the panel correct.

I try, and keep failing,to open up the hidden file ".actionScriptProperties". For some reason my computer tries to open it with TextEdit (mac) and the TextEdit just freezes everytime.

I'll take a look at it.

I'm also getting these wonky characters when I try to 'import' a Gaia project into Flash Builder.

I deleted these characters but still cannot compile in Flash Builder, the only error I get is:

_{1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: AbstractMessage.}

I dont understand why I have to use Flash Professional to even get a project started. Is there a tutorial for using Gaia with Flash Builder 4? (and the Flex4 SDK)

I'm also interested on how to get this to work. I understand that I will still have to compile using FlashIDE, but I would still like to edit and have the bonus of code hinting in FlashBuilder.

Word.. I'm trying to get a handle on GAIA with FlashBuilder 4 integration.   

Any help ?  Links ?  Advise ?

I'm new to FlashBuilder.. but not new to GAIA

Thanks,


UPDATE:

ok, so it seems FlashBuilder is out, and FDT is in.   FDT is apparently the thing to use, it's what Steven uses.

FDT is the thing to use.

The Creator has spoken.. and it is Good.

I put this off for a while. .. but now I've got a nice FDT 5 Max License for 30 days to really try it out.   I have hight expectations, but am not starting off very well.   Are there any good getting started tutorials that you recommend?     

I've been all through their vimeo channel, but they don't mention GAIA at all (not that I really expected them to).   It seems they assume a knowledge base that I don't have.   I've never directly worked with SDKs, no idea what Ant is, etc etc.   Most only worked and coded within the Flash environment.

I aim to create Flash based (WITH TIMELINES GALORE), using GAIA framework, and primarily code using FDT5.        It's a rough learning curve.

Thanks for any suggestions and direction.
