ActionScript 3.0 :: Class Code Hints Stops Working?
Nov 15, 2010
I've been really frustrated with the code hinting in CS5. It doesn't seem to work like it should. It appears to work fine if I am placing the code on the timeline, but if I create a class file I lose the class code hinting even for simple types like Boolean. The other thing I noticed is after the class file has been created even if I go back to the code on the timeline it has now lost code hinting. The only way to get them back is to close the fla I was working and close flash itself.how to resolve this or is this a legitimate bug? If others have seen this happen please post so that we can get some attention brought to this. It seems to work fine if you create flex components and then edit them in Flash Builder.

In Visual Studio, when we write some code, there are code hints, for property,custom method of some class that we create.There are code hints on Flash CS4, but it seems that it didn't show code hints for custom method or property on some class . Is there any way to make Flash CS4 show code hints for custom method, property and namespace that we created ?

I am working on a project in flash cs4 and have Adobe Air 1.5 as player as this will be air appi. But other than using localstore to save my data everything else is pure flash as3 code. Nothing special really. And I was just about to finish it when this problem occurred. If I delete a layer that has nothing else but a picture inside which I was using to position movies correctly, everything in frame 3 where my main code is stops working. It doesn't trace anything, it just stops but actions on frame 1 and 2 work just fine. I don't get any errors either.
I deleted all the code from my main action layer in frame 3 and it still doesn't trace simple trace("aa");. As if everything I've put on the layers can't be changed or it just stops working. Same thing if I change a sound in the library, just updating it with another and it stops working. I just can't find the answer really. I rearranged things, deleted movies, basically everything and still no answer. I even tested it in flash cs3 and same thing happens. But I used this kind of methods before (deleting layers that I didn't need) and never had this problem before.

I just downloaded the 30 day trial of adobe flash cs4.why the code completion/hints would not be showing up? Either when typing a "(" for a method or a "." I get nothing. "code hints" is checked off in my prefs and the delay is at 0 sec. Also, If I click the show code hint button in the AS window nothing happens.

Is it possible to somehow customize the code hints that appear when I'm typing code in Flex or Flash?
Specifically, when my developers are writing to Proxied objects, I'd like to have the code hints for the object being proxied appear, rather than the hints for the Proxy itself, or to hide certain properties that are public for internal reasons but that I dont want them to access normally.

I have a simple input box with an on-screen keyboard. When I type into the box using the on-screen keyboard (adding characters to the box programatically) the Selection class overall isn't letting me control the input.I'm assuming this is a scope issue of some sort. The input belongs to one class while the onscreen keyboard belongs to another.Is the Selection glass global or is it class-scoped? Even when I pass a reference from one class to another and request Selection.getCaratIndex() from the class that generated the input it continually returns -1 which is not correct.The kicker is I can make a new AS2 document, put an input box on the screen, add text to it (all programmatically), Selection.setFocus() the input, run Selection.setSelection() to the last index of the input and Selection.getCaratIndex() returns the valid number. So there's something funky going on when classes are involved.
The only way the Selection class is working is if I use a real keyboard or mouse click, then it works fine. This isn't very useful in an on-screen keyboard context however.Are there any mines I should avoid when using the Selection class in an application where multiple other classes are involved? Is Selection really global or should I worry about scope with it?

I have some movie clips that hold the contents. (ie I have a movie clip to hold my navigation buttons and another to hold the actual content.) I wrote some action script on a separate layer that is outside of the movie clips, the AS adds event listeners and a few simple functions. All my navigational buttons work prefectly, I have a button that I use for email, this works the first the frame is loaded. If I go to another frame (another page of the website), and then go back, the button no longer works, I tested with just using trace("the email button was clicked"); oh, I thought I might add that each page of the website is a different frame, that is inside my content movie clip. my AS looks like this:
stop();
navigation_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, homeClickF);
navigation_mc.rates_btn.addEventListener(MouseEven t.CLICK, ratesClickF);

I updated FlashPro from 10.0 to 10.0.2 through the adobe updater.After the update applied, Flash ignores any code entered on my action layers as if it were not there, even simple stop(); command.

1 main flash movie called game.swf 1 external flash movie called maze.swf
The thing is from my main movie game.swf I load the external "maze.swf" true the LoadClip procedure. This works "fine".
The maze.swf as you can guess contains a maze game, and as you all will know this works with the Hittest commando to check if the character doesn't walk up against the wall.
If I start the maze.swf as a stand-a-lone this works fine, but as soon as I load maze.swf in my main movie. The hittest doesn't work anymore, because in some way the hittest is now checking with the coordinates of the entire main movie instead of only the boundaries of the maze.
I checked If I was calling to the right path, with _root and _level0 and etc. This is al correct because I can trace all the properties from maze.swf in my main movie. But the hittest simply won't work.

I'm trying to set up an app that moves one movie clip to the top of the screen, regardless of where it is or how deeply it is nested. To do this, I take the full path of the movie clip and go in, movie clip by movie clip, putting the depth of each nested clip on top. This part works perfectly. Afterwards, I want to move everything back to where it was. In the first step, I store the current depths of everything in an array before changing depths. In the second step, I'm trying to change everything back to its original depth, as shown in the array.
The code is below:
_global.videoPath = _root.clip1.clip2;
var pathString = String(_global.videoPath);
var videoPathArray = pathString.split(".");
var depthArray:Array = new Array();

When creating a dropdown for a button, I noticed the dropdown will stop working if the button does not run the entire length of the timeline. i.e.: if you navigate to a page that is out of that button's "range" it will stop working unless reset by returning to the root page. Nesting the problematic button in a movie, however, solves this problem...

I've tried it on several different copies on Flash(on college computers and at home) with different files and no matter what, once I save the file, any action script I had will stop working and will never work again no matter what.
When I create a new document and put in some Actionscript (3), it will work at first. For example if I have one line telling an object to have a lower alpha. Then, consistantly, when I go to "save" it'll stop working.

My friend and I have been working on a game for about a year. There's a few buttons on the stage that have been on the stage for six months, and always worked fine, but today my friend moved them and I just realized they don't work anymore. They are literally completely unresponsive to all mouse input, they have event listeners for mouseover and click but the events never get triggered (I checked for sure with breakpoints and traces).
I tried the obvious things first; move the buttons to the top layer and set .mouseEnabled = true, but that didn't do anything. I tried moving them around the stage in case something invisible was covering them but that didn't work.
We've got one button instance named "btnSell" that is broken, and another named "btnMenu" that works. They are instances of different objects in the library, but I tried swapping their instance names on the stage; then "btnMenu" was broken and "btnSell" worked.
So I swapped the names back, deleted the broken "btnSell" and created a new instance from the library. Only, it still doesn't work.
My friend deleted a bunch of old and no-longer-used assets, including previous versions of the PNGs that make up those buttons, so maybe that's related to the problem?

it's a little ridiculous; and probably unbelievable, but when I have more than five hundred lines of actionscript in tags in my MXML FLEX Main.mxml, all syntax highlighting, error and syntax verification, error reporting, "Problems" pane, and even sometimes compilation fail. Upon removing any chunk of code, it works again.I don't see why Adobe could release a product such as Flash Builder 4.5 Premium, have this big of a problem; and nobody notice. Therefore I believe the problem has to do with my computer, or my project; as there's now ay more people have had this happen if I can't even find it on Google.
Additionally, many objects that have been defined in the MXML properties above the code, even those in All States, are now showing as warning: Access of undefined property down the side of my document. However, these warnings are not showing up in the "Problems pane", and aren't even yellow squigly underlining the right sections of code to pertain to the message.Steps I have taken to TRY and fix this:I have tried restarting, as well as re-installing the IDE (Adobe Flash Builder 4.5).I have tried creating a new projectI have tried splitting my code into smaller .as files and including them.I have tried compiling my application.

In my current flash application I and my co-workers are using Loader to load some SWFs from our server. It works perfectly while we have the flash application on our computers running it trough Adobe Flash CS3 but when we publish it and move the html page to our server and try and run it from there the loading doesn't seem to start. I have the firebug plugin for Firefox so I checked if flash actually loaded the images and according to firebugs network monitor it found all needed resources and downloaded them successfully. But the behaviour of our application is as if the loading starts but the complete event is never sent.

I have this piece of script:
function dataImporting(target, type, path)
{
if(type == "IMAGE")
{
[Code].....
This function is suppose to deal with loading requests from different kind of movieclips throughout the movie. There is something wrong with 'load(path as URLRequest)'. It compiles fine, but upon running flash simply crashes over and over (flash stopped working). It seems as if there is something wrong with it but flash not being able to catch the error.
The path is given as an argument to the function in the form of a string, but should be converted to a URLRequest before being able to be loaded.

I have a flash app that I have been working on for 5 months or so, it relies heavily on Flash remoting with numerous custom classes each making service calls via AMF.I have been developing this app in CS4 on Windows and never had any trouble, it works great.I just got CS4 for my Mac and installed it and copied over the flash files for this app so I can continue working on it on the mac instead of the PC, but on the Mac the app stops working after a few seconds, particularly after doing a few commands that issue flash remoting calls.Even stranger is it will not return to working condition again until I close all of the files involved with the project( the .fla and all .as files involved) and then reload them,if I keep trying to test run the movie from the flash editor it hangs at the first flash remoting call and never returns any error message or any indication that its trying to connect, on the server end my logs show no requests are going to gateway.php.So basically to continue working on the mac I'd have to keep closing down the files every few mins and reloading them.

I have a bunch of thumbnails i'm getting from XML that have this code on them...
Code:
for (e = 0; e < total; e++) {
_root.web_thumbs.thumb_button.duplicateMovieClip("button" + e, e + 12);
_root.web_thumbs["button" + e].c = e;[code].....]);
It loads the XML variable fullimg into an empty movie clip on its own layer in the timeline.The movieclip, "container", is assigned this code, but the code isn't on the movieclip, it's on a frame designated for just actionscript.This is the code
Code:
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = int(content._x - (content._width / 2) + 30);
this._y = int(content._y - (content._height / 2) + 30);
}
The Problem Is...When there is no image loaded into the movie clip, it works fine, and shifts around depending on the location of the other movie clip, "content". But, once there is an image loaded into "container", it stops shifting around depending on the location of "content", and just sits in its last location.The only thing i can IMAGINE being problematic is, on another frame, where I have the XML being cut up and assigned to variables, at the end I have a remove _root.onEnterFrame, removing the onEnterFrame at the beginning of the XML to variables line of code, so that is stops running.
