"Design" section on Flash Builder. Where is it?

Where is the "design" section of Flash Builder?

I have the latest version 4.7 from my Adobe Cloud.  One of the phone support giving me a call back couldn't connect to my computer to see my screen, and told me to download the 4.6 version instead... what??!!

I am stuck on "code" only mode in my Fb system and can't do anything.  How do I find my "design" mode for Flash Builder?

Also.....  The "Chat" support on Adobe doesn't seem to be working...  Anybody of you is able to connect to "chat" with adobe?

BTW......  Been 3 days trying to get help from Adobe on this...   the phone support couldn't get connected to my computer and just told me to download the earlier version of the program which makes no sense...

Hi,

Ever since Flash Builder 4.7, they dropped Design View. That's why they told you to use Flash Builder 4.6 instead.

There are 3 Flash Builder alternatives:

The best Flash Builder alternative is FDT, but it does not support MXML Design View.

The 2nd choice is IntelliJ IDEA, you can download a MXML Design View plugin, it's very cool.

The 3rd choice is FlashDevelop, it's free and open sourced, but it's Windows only, and it does not support MXML Design View either.

How do I download 4.6 without paying for it? If I cant download it I cant

work with it...

My friend,

Quick question.

I want to build mobile apps to include math formulas.... example here:

http://www.fluidynefp.com/Formulas.aspx

Is Flash Builder the right app to replicate similar formulas and put them

on mobile apps and websites? Or is there another available program?

I still would like to have Fb 4.6, and know which apps are good for mobile

apps.

Hi,

I'm a customer just like you. I'm not from Adobe.

I've looked that formulas site, they can be done either using Apache Flex SDK or some HTML/JS frameworks.

Apache Flex SDK Installer

http://flex.apache.org/installer.html

Flash Builder, FDT, IntelliJ and FlashDevelop, they all support the latest Apache Flex SDK.

But if you use the latest Flex SDK with Flash Builder 4.6, the Design View section will be disabled.

If the Design View is very important to you, use IntelliJ + MXML Design View plugin + Flex SDK, or just use Dreamweaver to do HTML/JS/CSS application.
