I that when you place a MovieClip (or any other object) on the stage, you can give it a name and reference it with code. The main problem is that it doesn't have code hinting. I used to be able to do this:// MovieClip myClip;And code hinting would work. But I'm now using Flash CS5/AS 3 and that doesn't seem to be working.
View 4 RepliesSo I just started a new job, and will be moving from coding in Windows (Using FlashDevelop) to a mac. I'm looking for something that does the same sort of code hinting and completion that FlashDevelop does so well. Eclipse was brought up, but I can't find much documentation on it with AS3, only AS2. Plus, I'd like to compile in the Flash IDE, rather than a command-line flex builder or some such thing..
Edit: and they already have Mac licenses for the adobe suite, so I can't just run VMWare or something.
I used flash cs5 trial. I don't see fl.controls or button, datagrid, combobox .v.v in show code hint.
View 2 RepliesWhen writing action script using code hinting, Flash adds additional code at line 1, such as: import flash.events.MouseEvent;
What is that line for? I've noticed the swf runs fine without it. How important is it that this line exist?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;

code hinting doesn't seem to work for my Flash CS5. I already tried increasing the code hint cache size, but it still doesn't do anything.

View 12 RepliesI have a trial version of the Adobe Flash CS5 installed on my machine and I am unable to get code hinting to work when I'm working on AS3 files. I've tried doing the reg fix from Lee's blog but still can't get it to work. I've also tried deleting the Flash regkey and the configuration folder but still can't get it to work.

Is there a way to hide various classes from appearing in code hints while using a compiled SWC?We are trying to create a SWC that can hide classes unnecessary/hidden to third party developers. There is only one class they need to reach, however that class reaches out to so many others. We tried namespaces on our classes but that doesnt work. It only works on methods, variables and properties.Not sure if there is some metadata available to hide those classes from auto complete. That would be sweet.

I have a custom class and inside its constructor, I need "x" and "y" arguments passed on. Now when I call the class and create and instance of it, flash should pop up "the code hinting"...(but it doesn't), or am I missing something???
Problem: I would like to enable code hinting and highlighting in either Flash Professional or Flash Builder when developing an Actionscript Communications File (.asc). Steps Taken: Searched Google with limited success, most signs all pointed to [URL] where one may obtain an Eclipse Plugin, but:It was created in 2007 (likely out dated)It has known bugs that haven't been addressedSearched this forum / adobe's web site to find a solution, to no avail.Posted this, now, in an attempt to put this to rest Request: how I can enable FP or FB to give code hints / syntax highlighting
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to use comments in Flash? I don't mean in actionscript using //, but somehow documenting how the app is setup.
View 1 RepliesI love looking through other people's codes and see how they style their comments, most people use a mix of * and ////, and of course it all depends on the language, but I have definitely seen some good ways to comment and some bad ways. A coded page can really come together with the right commenting structure and make it really easy to read for someone coming into a project without any knowledge.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a bit of a hard time putting what I want into words, which is probably why programming it has got me a bit stumped.Basically what I want is a nagavatable guestbook where the names of the people who left comments is shown in a list, and clicking on the various names would display their comment in a dynamic text box. This whole thing started as an extention of the XML Guestbook using PHP tutorial.My idea, and the way I've been trying to go at this, is to have the names show as text (not buttons or a movie clip, if I can avoid it) in a text area with a scroll bar to allow for as many entries as possable. Clicking on a name would load the data within the <comment> tag into a dynamic text fieldHere's more or less what my XML file looks like
Code:
<guestbook>
<entry>

View 1 RepliesI can find absolutely nothing when I search for an answer. I have a conditional comment in my html to only display a flash file when the browser is IE. And it works great, except that the conditional comment is displaying in my browser! [URL] to see the error (it only shows in IE). Could it be because I haven't declared the page as an html4 page? The only way I can get the comments to go away is if I use this syntax: <!--<![if lt IE10]><!-->my code<!--<![endif]--> . When I do this, of course my flash file shows underneath my alternate content on other browsers.

View 2 RepliesI am completely new to Flash and have been learning about alpha tweening to fade one .jpg image (of a customer's happy comment) to another. This works fine if I only have a small number of comments, but modifying each and every stage of the transitions would be a huge task if I have more than a handful of comments to deal with. Is there some way to set the transition and then apply that transition to all images? That way, I would only have to amend the transition once and it would make no difference whether I had 2 or 200 images to fade in and out of.
View 2 RepliesI've seen a lot of people with great documentation that looks just like the Adobe site. I got the impression from an article that there was an app (java?) that made the documents from comments written in the classes themselves?
