FB – Internal build error

Just a quick post on a flex builder 3 bug I just found.

Defining a constant on an interface causes Flex Builder to give you the ever helpful message at compile time :

“An internal build error has occurred.  Right click for more information”

Of course, there is no more information, you have to find what you did to break it through old fashioned sleuth work.

Anyway, constants on interfaces :  A stupid mistake, yes… but it’d be to have the compiler issue a stern telling off rather than flex builder throw it’s hands in the air and give up on me completely.

Really, Flex Builder – after all you and I have been through!?

Faithfully yours,

Abandoned.

Morgan Stanley – Matrix

I’m now finally allowed to post information about a project I worked on : Morgan Stanley’s  ”Matrix“

It’s by far the biggest flex application I’ve ever worked on, and probably one of the most significant uses of the Flex platform to date.

The client, Morgan Stanley is one of the biggest investment banks in the world, and their product - Matrix is a trading platform that allows rich, real time collaboration through chat, video, sharing of trade ideas, charts.  

The development team was full of some of the top developers I’ve ever worked with, working on the project was a priveledge and a non-stop learning experience!
