I always work with dual screens when developing Flash at my home workstation, utilizing the second screen entirely for coding AS3... now I'm relegated back to one screen at the workplace and it's killing me.
What's the ideal setup you programmers use on a single screen Mac for coding? Programming extensive projects in that tiny little pane is simply not feasible.
(Note: Flash, not Flex.)

Nah, I still do a lot of freelance from home. Short of buying a new one.. I'd like a more elegant solution if possible. I've fumbled with Virtual monitors in XP before but meh... it sucked.

get comfortable with f9, or option f9... just turn the window on and off as needed. besides that slit ur wrists and call it a day.

Can't imagine that'd be fun. I code from my laptop some, but any of the intensive days I head into my office and use my desktop.

Here's what I got. It works decent enough once you get in the habit of the toggle up top. Since you even mentioned flex, I'm assuming you don't do timeline ani's, so this works pretty well since it's mostly just code and library assets.

- If I knew what ya meant, I'd take note. What are weak references?jpea
- And how do they apply to AS2? All I find is stuff on them with regard to AS3.jpea
- it's when you decrlare the function on the fly like onRelease = function(){...
instead you should say:enjine - onRelease = myFunction;
function myFunction(){
//function body here
}enjine
