Thanks for the response. Being that this is now being moved to an apache license. I do not see why some linux support could not be provided so long as there is enough support for it. Maybe feature lacking but still available.

I regretfully have to tell you that moving your development to windows seems to be the only option at the moment if you want to take advantage of all the new features being developed. I have explored all the options you have stated and currently I also develop with FDT5 in Linux Mint KDE. However I have had to set up a windows dev environment to be able to work with the newer flash player and all the new features. I still hope (albeit a fading hope) that someday there will be a move towards resurrecting the support for developers who prefer Linux as a development platform. For the moment though no cigar. ~a~ www.ayobinitie.com http://mrbinitie.blogspot.com On 2 October 2012 19:37, Robert Szabo <robert.sz...@adaptivemobile.com>wrote: > > > I have been looking into this and am currently searching for linux support. > > I have been using FlexBuilder for Linux, then I ended up going to > fb4linux > (http://code.google.com/p/fb4linux/) for the 4.5 SDK with > eclipse-indigo as Adobe stopped supporting linux when it introduced > FlashBuilder. > > This has worked fine and I am happy to continue working that way, but > it would seem that there will be no bugfixes/enhancements going forward. > > The notable items lacking with the fb4linux approach is: > > > - Visual Designer Mode > > - States view > > - profiler > Last time I checked FlashBuilder was eclipse based, so also curious if > maintaining a Flashbuilder plugin was in the cards. > > I am aware that the flash-debugger is only available for linux in a 32 > bit binary and there is a workaround for that. > > What I would like to confirm is if there is any future with Flex and > Linux in the roadmap and if I can continue developing and deploying > in a linux environment. > > Can someone shed some light on this? > > Bob Szabo > </pre>**************************************************************** > ************************<br>This email and any files transmitted with > are confidential and intended solely for the<br>use of the individual > or entity to whom they are addressed.
