Title: Flex Code Formatter Post by: Jason MacDonald on June 05, 2009, 08:52:37 It always drove me nuts that I couldn't control the default way Flex formats it's code. I've always coded by putting bracers on the same line as the method, class etc. I decided to do some searching and found this[1] eclipse plugin. I don't know how I survived before without it! It works perfectly and is highly configurable. Just thought I'd make a mention of it incase others have the same problem as I did.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve just installed the Flex Formatter. Very cool features! Especially the mxml options . The formatting of actionscript code works fine inside of actionscript files and classes, but I can’t make it work inside of a Script tag. Ondina EDIT:I’ve tried Flex Formatter with Adobe Flash Builder 4. In FlexBuilder 3 it works fine inside of a <mx:Script></mx:Script> tag. The problem seems to be the new fx prefix. Obviously Flex Formatter doesn’t recognize the <fx:Script> . Actually something to be reported on their forum, if I wasn’t so lazy. Anyway I’m wondering how the Fx-prefix and the new namespaces will affect the porting of my apps from Flex3 to Title: Re: Flex Code Formatter Post by: mldj on June 27, 2009, 11:10:05 I still don't have any idea about the backwards compatibility with Flex 3, after the new controls will be much more layout-customizable. One thing seems sure - porting apps to the Flash Builder will be more of a pain in the neck than porting Flex 2.0.1 to Flex 3. Thank god I'll be doing the Objective-C port ;)
As for the code beautifier, after I've coded for only two years according to that convention, I got used to it and now it's much more difficult for me to read through code with C++ styling: opening brace at the same line, etc. Cheers |
