    Mark,

    Can you post a brief note on how to set up the Flex IDE with the subclipse plugin and how to check out the code and compile into a .swf file.

      It would be my pleasure.

      I had problems setting up subclipse...

      There are two versions of subclipse available: 1.0 and 1.2

      1.0 runs on eclipse 3.0 whereas 1.2 runs on eclipse 3.2

      However, Flex Builder 2.0 runs on eclipse 3.1 whereas Flex Builder 3.0 runs on eclipse 3.2.

      Because Flex Builder 3.0 is still in beta I'm trying to stick with FB 2.0 until there is a genuine reason to upgrade.

      However, when I pointed Flex Builder 2.0 to add the subclipse 1.0 plugin, it actually tried to add the subclipse 1.2 plugin and so didnt work!

      You may want to try to replicate this odd behavior - it might just be me...

      To install subclipse plugin you would normally follow these instructions:

      http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html

      If this doesnt work, then you need to to download the zipped plugin from here:

      http://subclipse.tigris.org/files/documents/906/39525/site-1.0.6.zip

      I have put this to the E:\XML Transcript Database Work\3rd Party Tools folder for convenience.

      You need to unzip this and then go through a similar installation (choosing Local Site instead of Remote Site).

      Once subclipse is installed, then in Flex Builder go to:

      Window - Perspective - Other - SVN Repository Exploring

      You should be able to bring up a context menu and do:

      New - Repository Location

      and specify the URL:

      https://context.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/context

      Then drill down to trunk/TranscriptEditor

      Right click on this folder and select Check Out and follow the rest.

      Let me know if this works.
