Hi! I’m an experienced as3 (flash cs4) programmer, and still didn’t put my hands on flex. The reason is this: I spent a lot of money to buy the adobe cs4 web PREMIUM suite and… It doesn’t include flex builder. Well, how the hell is it possible? Why shouldn’t a WEB PREMIUM suit include the builder? I’ll definitely not spend more money to buy a product that SHOULD be included into the biggest adobe web suite.

Well, I wanted to share this thought, since I’m feeling quite frustrated with this. Is anyone in my same situation?

Ah, and please, don’t tell me that I could just use the SDK…

Hi!
