Flex Builder public alpha is here!
Hi folks.
I know I'm late to the party with this news, but I figured I had to write about it.
The bits are live. You can get them here:

We are all incredibly excited about this alpha, and we're interested to see what you build with it.
Some of my favorite features:
Compiler in the tool -- obviously.
Strict type checking -- obviously.
States -- it's still a bit rough around the edges, but I think this has a lot of potential to change how we build Flex apps.
Simplified syntax -- certain tags are now optional, which makes for less verbose code.
Effects improvements -- allows data binding, multiple targets, and start delay
I'll leave it at that. I'm sure you will have your own lists of favorite features soon...
