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.

View 1 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 .

View 2 RepliesAt this years Flash on the beach i saw a speaker using small 'code-keywords' that would complete entire sets of AS-code, depending on the keyword.Ex.:He would write @forloop, hit enter/space and a typical for-loop would be written automatically.Unfortunately he never said how to access this functionality in Flash.

I tried using a while loop with a flag that is set by the on Complete in order to exit the wait loop.
This generates a timeout error. private var loaded:Boolean = false;
function SpriteLoader(filepath:String){

FileLoader = new Loader();

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 1 RepliesI have a moveclip inside of another movie clip. "graphicsSpace" is the main clip. "graphicsMenu" is the clip inside it. When graphicsSpace is opened, it stays at frame1 and graphicsMenu runs through some animations and finishes. When it's done, I want graphicsMenu to tell graphicsSpace to go to its second frame. Yet every time I'm getting this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Portfolio_fla::GraphicsMenu_30/frame156() I was just using this basic code on the last frame of graphicsMenu: this.graphicsSpace.gotoAndPlay(2); Nothing else.

I have a complex class that manipulates and creates many calculations and graphics on the fly. Once I create an instance of this class in my main file I am using the enter_frame event to constantly update the class. (it's for re-calculating/scaling graphics)The problem is: flash locks up because of all the rapid processing. Is there a way to listen for the class's processing completion and only call the enter_frame event if it is complete? I tried creating a boolean public variable that is set to TRUE at the end of the processing stack (inside the class) but that doesn't seem to do the trick.'m lost here?
Naturally lowering the frameRate is a "cheap" way to smooth things out...but that is lazy and hacky in my opinion because I would like the class to get updated as fast as the end user's computer can handle.I've simulated my problem with the following code. Just some long loops that really slow down the flash player. How do i get the player to say: "ok, not done processing the updates inside the class... ignore this enter_frame" ?
ActionScript Code:
// SlowClass.as
package {

I'm trying to use a playing sound to trigger an event when it finishes:
onSoundComplete = function(){
redbtn._alpha = 100;

I have the button fading and disabling nicely (on (release)) but when the sound stops playing, I need them to return to alpha 100 and enabled=true. It doesn't work but there's no error generated either.
I have a program in which I am running a number of for loops which are doing a number of different things.I pull in data from an xml file and then step through that data to dynamically create arrays, populate the arrays, and create and modify movie clips.
The program I'm building is similar in scope to one I developed in Director many years ago, and in that environment we had to actually put breaks in using timers to ensure that the data would be processed and that the system wouldn't choke.
What I'm seeing with this flash version of the application is similar and I suspect the same. Basically, when navigating from the frame where the scripts are processed to the frame where the movie clips are displayed, there are times when it works perfectly and times when things are out of whack. I put in a 5 second delay (arbitrarily) to see if this would resolve the issue and on my system at least it does. But I need some advice on coming up with a real solution.
Running flex builder 3 on windows 7 RC. For some reason, my work completion/intellisense stopped working.. If I try to manually trigger the shortcut (alt + /) I hear a windows 'error sound'.
