Paul,

I changed version to 4.6.0 in the ..\sdks\4.9.1\flex-sdk-description.xml
file and design view works just fine.  But I don't bank on it all the
time.  Eventually, like Nick, i'll have to re-train my brain and stop using
Design view.  Really a bummer they stopped working on that, it's great for
quickly laying things out and tweeking positions of UI elements without
itterating builds just to see how a 1 pixel adjustment looks.

Chris
