Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Premium

Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Premium software is an Eclipse based development tool for rapidly building standout mobile, web, and desktop applications using ActionScript and the open source Flex framework. Use professional testing tools to build higher performing applications.

Top capabilities in Flash Builder

Build exceptional applications
Build uncompromised native applications for iOS, Android, and Blackberry Tablet OS through tight control over the appearance and behavior of the user interface and access to all the platform capabilities.

Deliver native experiences
Package and sign applications as platform-specific installer files for upload to application stores.

Debug and test easily
Debug and test applications on locally connected mobile devices or a mobile emulator.

Code faster
Speed coding through syntax coloring, statement completion, code collapse, refactoring support, live highlighting of invalid references, and interactive step-through debugging.

Build standout applications

Customize expressive user interface behaviors and controls.

Skinning and styling
Customize application appearance using CSS and graphical property editors. Set commonly used properties and preview the results in Design View. Browse themes and apply them to projects with the Theme Browser.

Rich visual layout
Visually design and preview user interface layout, appearance, and behavior using a rich library of built-in components. Extend the built-in Flex framework components or create new ones as needed.

Interactive data visualization
Create data dashboards and interactive data analysis by dragging and dropping a chart type and linking it to a data source. Use the powerful Advanced Datagrid to enable users to explore complex data.

Debug and test easily

Ensure a quality experience while reducing testing time with powerful testing tools.

Preview and debug mobile applications
Debug and test applications on locally connected mobile devices or a mobile emulator.

Memory and performance profilers
Accelerate application performance using memory and performance profilers that monitor and analyze memory consumption and CPU cycles.

Network Monitor
Generate a detailed audit trail of all data passed between the local Flex application and the back end, assisting with debugging and performance tuning.

Functional testing support
Get support for automated functional testing tools such as HP QuickTest Professional and Flex Monkey. Automate functional testing using the Flex unit testing framework.

Code faster

Reduce the time from concept to delivery with robust coding tools and comprehensive templates.

Powerful code editing
Speed coding through syntax coloring, statement completion, code collapse, refactoring support, live highlighting of invalid references, and interactive step-through debugging.

Code generation
Use QuickAssist/Fix to rename and manipulate variables, generate getters/setters and event handlers, organize imports, and more. Use the override/implements feature to define methods from a superclass or interface.

Data-centric development
Introspect Java, PHP, Adobe ColdFusion®, REST, and SOAP services to display methods and properties in the new Data/Service Explorer. Drag and drop to bind methods to user interface components.

Code templates
Use over 100 new best-practice code templates (aka snippets) for ActionScript, MXML, and CSS. Review and insert templates using code assist. Create custom templates and import or export them for sharing within teams.

Accelerate development with prebuilt components

Speed development with extensive mobile and traditional components. All components can be skinned, customized and extended.

Controls
Use pre-built control components that offer great degree of control over size, events, styles, effects and skins.

Containers
Assemble applications using a simple but flexible set of layout containers.

Navigators
Control user movement, or navigation, among multiple child containers.

Charts
Create all common chart types and also customize their appearance.

Deliver native experiences

Provide the best possible experience to end-users across desktop and mobile platforms.

Mobile application packaging and signing
Package and sign applications as platform-specific installer files for upload to application stores.

Native extensions
Access the latest platform and device capabilities for iOS, Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

Captive runtime
Increase install rates and reduce testing costs by bundling the runtime with applications.
