cant work out whats going on. I'm creating AS3.0 flash document in CS4 and code hints are not being displayed at all even though they are enabled in the preferences. found this document but it didnt give me any more info
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesIs 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.
Is there a way to make code hints appear for the Tween Class? I declare a new Tween with the constructor var X:Tween=new Tween... But there are no code hints when I try to use its methods.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 5 RepliesIn 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 ?

If I have an element on the stage (let's say a TextField, or a component ComboBox, for example). And I would like, when I reference it in the action script, for the IDE to give me the prompt to show me all the properties associated with that element, how do I create a reference to it, without creating code clutter? I mean, I have a reference to it already on the IDE (the instance name). So, in the IDE I call it myElement.Now, if in code I say var myElement:ComboBox; It throws a conflict at compile time. However, if I just reference it as myElement, it has no idea what sort of element it is, so it offers me no help. I know I can say var myCodeElement:ComboBox = myElement as ComboBox, but I really want to avoid that.
View 4 RepliesAccording to these instructions, I'm trying to use ANTLR generated *.as files in a current Flash Builder 4.5.1 project. Therefore, I added this ANTLR's Actionscript runtime to my project - without problems. I compiled lexer/parser specs using ANTLRWorks without problems too. I added the language option to the source *.g file to make ANTLR generate Actionscript sources:

I have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off

View 2 RepliesI am working on a FLASH website that loads 3 flash movies (header, content and menu). The menu movie is displayed at the bottom. I am looking for a way to display the menu always at the bottom of the browser window (the visible bottom). This way, if the screen resolution of the user is too small, the user won't have to scroll to see the menu. I know it can be done. On this page, you can see that the copyright character is always displayed the bottom right of the browser window.[URL]

I have a container symbol called BoxContainer. This can contain an unknown number of Radio Button components. To add these, I have an array of Radio Buttons called boxes.This is part of the CheckBoxes class.Here's my problem: When I add the radio buttons as children to the stage, from the frame itself, it works just fine. However, I need to add it to the BoxContainer movie clip. I have tried:
On the frame:

However, both of these do not work. When I run the flash, the radio buttons are not visible. How can I fix this?

I'm attempting to get a variable to be displayed on a screen by the use of dynamic text thats been linked to a variable via the properties menu. The variable however is attached to a move clip and is within an onClipEvent.For some reason I can only get the varible to be displayed by putting it on a frame. So is there anyway i can get a varible to be displayed that is within a MC or can I use a command in that MC to change a varible thats stored in a frame?

View 2 RepliesHi Everyone,
I'm totally going to embarrass myself with my lack of actionscript knowledge... but, I hope someone can at least point me in the right direction.
I'm designing a flash site that has 5 buttons, each corresponding to a different company. When a button is pressed, the logo for that company will appear in the body of the site along with a brief company description. So far, that's all very easy I know. But, here's where it gets complicated (at least, for me):
I've set up shape tweens (25 to be exact) so that every logo can "tween" into any of the other logos. The goal is to have it so that when you click on one of the company's buttons, the logo will shape tween from the current logo displayed to the logo for the company button you clicked. Make sense? I hope so.
When a button is pressed, the script basically needs to find out what logo is currently displayed, so that it can know what shape tween movieclip to play.
I've set up all the tweens on the timeline with Frame Labels: logo1ToLogo2, Logo1ToLogo3 and so forth. And then Logo2ToLogo1, Logo2ToLogo3 and so forth...
I currently have a movieclip that is loading in external swfs. The movieclip that you click that loads the files externally is staying on top of the swf that gets loaded. I'd like for it to stay under the swf and stay there so when the swf is unloaded it will remain there for further use. I know in as2 there were level0, level1, etc. Is there anything in as3 for that or how to fix this? The Movieclip that is loading it is called Homeslideshow

all the layers are displayed as outlines.I can assure you that outline mode is NOT switced on "globally" or for each layer.I have tried toggling the icons on and off to see if that would reset it, but it did not.Every new document is doing this, even after relaunching the program and rebooting the OS, Preview and Published display correctly, it is only in the the working environment that things aren't right.None of the other workstations are doing this, just this one.I did an update, but the issue persisted.
The weirdest part about it is, when I gave him a file created on my laptop to see what would happen, everything was displayed normally,New layers added to this document also displayed normally. We have iMac workstatios running Snow Leopard if that makes a difference.This is Flash CS5 by the way.Other than doing a re-install,
I create a menu with this:
menu = Menu.createMenu(parent, get_entries());
menu.labelField = "@label";

menu.show(position.x, position.y);
How can to check if the menu is still displayed?
I simply want to do is display a variable via a Textfield. This was easily done in AS2 by making a var; "var1", then making a textfield with a var; "var2", and having code that var2 = var1...
But of course this can't be done now.. =(
I have a found a tutorial where you create a textfield version fot he variable.. this being the coding..
ActionScript Code:
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.text = "Hello!";
myText.x = 200
myText.y = 200
addChild(myText);
But from my experience of AS in the past (AS2) Any Textfield which utilises "text here" is not possible to show coding such as
ActionScript Code:
myText = myText+=1;
Which is all I want to do. I want a variable. Editable with easy, simple coding such as the one just above. Which is displayed in a textfield. Which will constantly update it's display of the variable as the variable changes.
Just like what was easily done in AS2...
I have tried to find out tutorials etc, after finding out about the one above, I foudn one which was meant to be able to update the textfield. But ti utilised event lsiteners, of which I know nothign about, and the tutorials I've found didn't ..tutorial very well.. didn't even say what was with all the "package" stuff..
I did a lot of reading and made my own AS3 class for a streaming video player. The class seems to work, i'm getting debug output from the player and hear the sound but the video is not being displayed on the stage. My AS3 code :

Can i add a displayed shape from a Sprite to another Sprite?
Because i'm creating a "form extends Sprite" composed of shapes. When the shapes seperates i add the the shapes to another Sprite (a grid), i remove them from the previous (the from) and i remove the form from the MovieClip.The only problem is i can't Remove the Shapes from the second Sprite. I have an error saying that the DisplayObject must be a child of the container, but i added it...
I have written up this code from a tutorial, however, I cannot get the boxes to be displayed on the screen.When i compile I get a 1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before colon.
I cannot figure out what it is complaining about, however it is complaining where I am trying to pull in the nodes from the XML file - any help and information shedding light into what I am doing wrong would be very helpful. I seem to have a recurring problem with objects not showing up on the stage that I have programmed - maybe I am not calling them correctly?

I made a carousel as "Creating 3D Carousels: Part 2" but with different images(11 images, 178x175 pixels). I integrate it in aspx page. When I run the page local(on my computer), the carousel it's working but when I run the page on the server isn't working, it displays only the flash background without images. I think it's happens something when the flash tries to load the images, maybe it don't have to much time to load its. I tried to put ,in first frame, a line code, to load the xml file and after 200 frames the rest of code, but nothing(I tried that because I thought the flash doesn't time to load the xml file).
