Adobe Flex switch-case bug follow-up

Posted on November 20, 2006 | Filed Under Adobe Flex 

Whew! I’ve been really busy for awhile now, but I wanted to follow up on my post regarding Flex’s problems with nested switch case statements. It turns out the bug is in the Flash 9 player, not the Flex compiler. Not that that fixes anything.

Kudos are due to Adobe for their handling of this though. I received an email from David Mendels less than 2 hours after my blog posting asking that I forward details to their team. David is the Senior VP of Adobe’s Enterprise and Developer Solutions Unit (aka the Flex unit). Two days later, Matt Chotin (one of the principal engineers on the Flex team) confirmed the bug, explained it was in the player and that it was actually worse than I thought.

It’s been a LOOOOOONG time since I’ve seen this level of developer support from a vendor. Thanks Adobe!!!
