Last week I gave a presentation on Unit Testing with ActionScript 3.0 using the new bright and shiny Flash Builder for the Pittsburgh Adobe Flash Users Group. The new tools in Flash Builder are amazing and make it 100 times easier than using Flex Unit by itself.  Flash Builder generates starter code that really helps the developer hit the ground running and begin writing test cases against their code.

I’m debating if I will have some time to put a screen cast together for it, but you can grab the source files below.
