Easy access to downloadable language reference would be greatly appreciated. Some of us are not connected to the net 24/7. Thanks.

downloadable docs are ggod, but how can we install them into the flex builder?
Is there any way we can replace the existing docs with the new one?

We're hoping to make it easier to update the docs in Flex Builder in the next version. Not guaranteed at this point though.
