Flash Builder Tutorial

Develop rich Internet applications (RIAs) with ease and finesse with Adobe Flash Builder 4, the latest version of what was formerly known as Adobe Flex. Flash Builder uses both MXML and ActionScript within an easy-to-use interface to code and tweak applications, where you can see the immediate results of what you're coding. Flash Builder is integrated with both Flex Projects (FXPs) and Flash Catalyst, which makes it simple to communicate within these programs.
