Flex Builder/Eclipse MXML/AS3 Source Formatter
Way back in April, I had been looking for an Eclipse plugin to format MXML and came up blank. Today I found one (thanks to Digital Media Minute) and it works great. I just used to clean up some old code of mine, plus reformat some code I inherited from another developer.
Flex Formatter: http://flexformatter.sourceforge.net/ Download the .jar file and place in your Flex Builder or Eclipse plugins folder and restart FB or Eclipse. There is a pretty extensive configuration panel that you can use to modify the formatting to your standards (Window > Preferences > Flex Formatter). Additional information on the formatting options is here: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=137421&group_id=248408. You can also import/export your settings so you can share with your team.

This is great — I can’t tell you how long I’ve been looking for a flex code formatter! Thanks for the post!
