Awesome work! love it
However, i will appreciate it more if Mac version will come out soon.
Thanks

Wow! You can even create AIR and Tamarin Projects with this thing.
Really cool stuff!

It is such a good IDE for students or user with low end machine. However, FlashDevelop was a solid IDE and Mac user could just use Windows in VM?

Flash Develop, Flash Builder, FDT, ASDT (dono why they stopped though)
startup time > 10s
MiniBuilder: startup time: 0.7s
To be honest, my main targets are Linux and Chrome OS. Mac will eventually be in too though, usually, Apple buyers can afford Flash Builder.
MiniBuilder will be fit for small/medium size projects.
Depending on the success of the project, we’ll add features not present in other IDEs, features that are much easier to develop in AS3 than in any other language. How about creating your vector graphic symbols right in the IDE?

Tried it out today on Vista – nice work.
What’s causing the cross-platform issues for Mac? Presumably the Java builder code and the AIR package are both cross-platform… is it anything someone else can help you out with?

@Ian
Actually, yes, thanks for the question, I could use some help.
I made a post for this issue with all details, please read:

Hi, I’ve tested the app, it works as expected. Very cool idea to create an air-app to build Flash
I think I would prefer FlashDevelop as main editor (startup time doesn’t matter to me and has great editor features) but if the app keeps very small and quick to install it is interesting when you are at other places, and it is cross platform (right?) It would be a great feature if you include the flexSDK in the installation.
About the app:
I also mis the middle-click functionality to close a tab and some right-click menu options and of course the CTRL-ENTER to compile and run

@Mark
All IDE’s have ups and downs. Yes, MiniBuilder will stay lightweight.
About middle-click close tab, not sure. But all keyboard shortcuts will be cofigrable. Right now, you ca close a tab using Ctrl+W or Ctrl+TAB.
Check Help -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Thanks a lot, what a great job and idea !
I think I’m going to use it on my netbook and I’ll try to develop my next AS3 project in Minibuilder…
Again thanks !

[...] コード補完機能やデバッガもついたActionscriptエディタを発見したのでちょっとテスト。 コンパイルまでやってくれるのでFDTと似たような使い方なのかな。機能はかなり劣るけど。 これ、AIR以外にオンライン上でコンパイルができるソースも配布しているので 個人用サーバーでWonderflのような環境作ってブラウザベースで開発もできちゃいますね。 ってことで次回は自分の環境にWonderfl作ってみる。 Flash MiniBuilder http://code.google.com/p/minibuilder/ まずは準備。以下のものがなければダウンロードします。 Adobe AIRをインストール http://get.adobe.com/air/ Javaランタイムをインストール (JRE) 1.6～ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp#jre Flex SDK 3.0～をインストール 3.4を推奨。4～でもいける。 Cドライブ直下に入れて環境変数を設定。 http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3 １．AIRファイル「AirMiniBuilder.air」をダウンロードしてインストール。 ２．SetupタブのSDK Pathを設定し、Save。 ３．C:Program FilesAirMiniBuilderMBCompilerのstart.batを起動。 ４．SetupタブのCheck againボタンをクリック。 ５．Create New ProjectタブからProject Nameを設定して Create Projectボタンをクリック。 ６．何か書いて「File」→「Save All」して「Compile」→「Compile and QuickRun」で出力。 ※プロジェクトファイルは.actionScriptPropertiesというファイル名で以下のディレクトリに出力されます。 C:Documents and Settings○○○minibuilderプロジェクト名 以下のコードでデバッガを表示させることも可能。 import com.victordramba.console.*; //uncomment to enable debugger console Debugger.setParent(this, true); debug(’started in ‘ + this); 参考： http://www.victordramba.com/?p=36 [...]

Please please please make this for Mac. This is a big advance for the ActionScript scene and would be a great plus for programmers everywhere.

Thank you , indeed a very good IDE for Flash development.
If it could also have a RAD tool, it would be perfect!
I know there is an open source tool called DesignView which is a GUI tool for Flex applicaions layout composition thus provides basic functionality of the Flex Builder Design View.
As MiniBuilder and DesignView are both opensourced and written in ActionScript, it’s possible to combine the two into an even more powerful RAD IDE fore Flash development.
Here is the website for designview

Fantastic !
))))))))))))
I can make Flash website on Linux
It’s fast and light : j’adore !
Thank you very very very much.
