Probably OT, but I just read that in FB 4.7 you cannot choose the FDK to
use for pure ActionScript projects (never tried myself yet).

Does this means that Flash Builder is somewhat hardcoded to work only with
the shipped ASC 2.0 SDK? If so, I was thinking about implications of this
when MXML support will be available in Falcon, if it is going to be
supported in future versions of the IDE.

I know that, before ASC 2.0/Falcon, the FB IDE was doing double work to
parse source files in order to provide code assist.. I also read that a
strong point for the architecture behind Falcon is allowing the compiler to
work for the IDE, sharing the AST.

Doing 1+1, I'd say Falcon will improve independence of the IDE from the FDK
versions (as long as these new advanced compiler hook/APIs are keep
compatible), but this FB 4.7 behavior seems to go in the opposite
direction..

Any thoughts?
