Usage
Select Enterprise IDE > Display Flex Code Metrics Explorer in the top menu or right click on a project
node in the Package Explorer View tree and choose Display Flex Code Metrics Explorer in the context menu.
If a flex project is not active a Flex project selection dialog will be displayed. Then the Flex Code Metrics Explorer window will
appear. The metrics explorer contains tabs for project metrics overview and details. The detailed
metrics tab displays a metrics tree table with a flat representation of all the project packages
(expandable to classes and functions) with fully qualified names.
Use tabs to select project metrics overview or details. Right click on a class row on details table for menu to go to class
source. If a function exceeds the CCN threshold defined in the Enterprise Flex preference page the
function, containing class and containing packages are highlighted in red as an alert.
