I had thought that that the updater for Flash Builder 4.0 wasn’t working out for me via Eclipse or so I assumed. While I was taking Seb Lee Delisle’s video series on Papervision 3D 2 training on lynda.com I noticed that creating a new Actionscript project did not include the Flex 4.1 SDK. Then I thought “Wasn’t Flash Player 10.1 released recently?”
So after playing around with Eclipse and scouring the web, I landed on insideRIA and decided that the manual update was my best bet. But that did not pan out since the the manual update failed.
So finally by checking the Adobe Flex Support page, I had to pay attention to “Eclipse plug-in Users” heading instead of “Stand-alone Users.” Plugin users have to uninstall their plugin and reinstall the new plugin. BTW, by default, the stand-alone is offered so just scroll down the combo box to choose the Eclipse Plugin. (See screen shot below.)
Alas, this is part of my learning process of migrating as a Flash developer from the Flash IDE with FlashDevelop to Flash Builder.
So if anyone who is wondering why Flash Builder hasn’t updated on their eclipse build, check it out here at adobe.com.

Select the Eclipse Plugin in the dropdown box.
In view of the upcoming Flash conference, CNet noticed a topic on a new feature of the upcoming Flash Player notably 3D support. This isn’t a surprise. It sounds like a revisit of Macromedia Director all over again. (Ala Battlestar Galactica “Razor” episode – “All this has happened before and will happen again. Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again.”) I wonder how this will change the existent 3D APIs already like (Away3D, Papervision 2, and 3, etc…)
The 64bit issue has been mentioned as well.

It’s been too quiet on the 64bit front. My OS now uses 64bit computing. It seems that they are taking this route as “top priority” (now that 10.1 has been released for browsers and for mobile, they can shift resources over to 64bit player development.)
The article is linked below:

My prediction: They’ll announce it at MAX 2010. (I hope.)
