I’m FDT’s Official Technology Evangelist!

FDT Official Technology EvangelistI don’t exactly know what to say! :P

It was really awesome meeting the guys from Powerflasher when they came down to The ActionScript Conference. Not only did I learn a lot more about FDT, I never imagined that our meeting would spin off an opportunity such as this! *w00ts~*

Thanks for the opportunity guys, to be a FDT Official Technology Evangelist! :D

FDT Tip: Tutorials To Get Started

It was bad of me to assume that everyone already knows their way around in FDT. To make up for it, here’s a tip for starters. :)

In the standalone installer version of FDT, it comes with two very short tutorials to help first timers navigate around the environment. They were useful to me, so I thought it will be good to check them out. Wouldn’t cost you anything more than 15 minutes. ;)

In FDT, go to:
Help -> Cheat Sheets… -> FDT -> First Steps

FDT Cheat Sheets Panel

In your new cheat sheets panel, you can now see the two tutorials ready and waiting for you to plow through them. ;)

FDT Tip: To Build Automatically Or Not

Once you start coding in FDT for a while, you may begin to realise that sometimes pressing Ctrl-F1 doesn’t bring up the quick fix. It kind of irritated me a little bit, and if it irritates you as well, allowing FDT to build automatically might just solve this.

Project -> Build Automatically
FDT Build Automatically Option

But wait, here’s a word of caution. I only recommend this if you’re building smaller projects, and that you did not use my code assist tip. The trouble that I encountered when my both my code assist is fully boosted and my projects are building automatically, is that the performance starts to go down. :(

One particular bad experience is that whenever I press enter on my code assist, not only does it _not_ completes my code, the editor jumps to the top of the page for no reason. After turning off the “Build Automatically” option, things were performing as they should again.

Ok, I hear you asking what shortcut key to press to build the project then?

That’ll be Ctrl-B, or Project -> Build All. ;)
