GLX2 If your using Revolution and your not using it you should be!
So as i been getting into Rev more and more i have to say by far, the most helpful and useful tool in my toolbox is GLX2. Rev has beefed up there script editor in its 3.0 release but as good as it is, GLX2 is far superior. The most helpful thing for me as a Flex developer when im working in Eclipse and Flex Builder is the ability to jump around my code by using cntrl clicks and bookmarks.
This feature in GLX2 was like christmas. It's called breadcrumbs. When you create functions, it automatically bookmarks them in a sidebar but once you actually use/call/instantiate your function or script inline, its underscored and you can click it to jump straight to the source. Awesome!
Another thing i'm used to as a Eclipse user is auto-intelligence/auto-hinting. What this does is when you start typing the editor drops down a list of keywords it thinks you would be interested in possibly utilizing. So no more searching for that property or parameter. If it's available to your script it shows up. GLX2 also has this its called Clairvoyance. It does just that.(Reads your mind muahahah). You can also edit which words you may not want to see in there at all. There is also no click inspection which is also something im used too. You basically hover over an oobject and see its properties, or inspect it's script.
Now yes this is a shameless plug for an awesome product but, it's well deserved it has made my transition into rev much smoother and i feel more at home coming from another development environment with these amenities. Thanks Jerry and your team.
I'm looking forward to utilizing all GLX2 has to offer as i make my first "REV back-end based" Flex application. Flex 4 and REV the possibilities !!
Oh one more thing, There is rumour of a concept editor, i say rumour cause when i went to download it the link didn't work. !! So Jerry if you see this i want in on that alpha Amigo! More stuff on Rev laterz~
