Professional :: Flash CS5 - Unable To Get AS3 Code Hinting To Work
May 24, 2010
I 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.
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
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.
So 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 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.
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???
I am new to flash and creating a file with a series of 25 images. I have each image on its own keyframe in the stage1 and I have buttons for: play_btn, stop_btn, next_btn, prev_btn My next and prev buttons work ie...
[Code]...
but I am unable to get any AS3 code to work as a Mouse.Click to play the series of keyframes. Every time I try to add a gotoAndPlay to the play_btn my file just starts a continuous loop.
i have an flash file, where i am calling script from the ".as" file. this works fine.Inside the flash file there is no code. All the codes is in the ".as" file. that's ok.But when i change the code into the ".as" file. that code doesn't works. To make that code work i have to re hit the "CTRL+ENTER" than that code works.I have changed the classpath also $(LocalData)/Classes.What i am looking for is, once i made an ".as" file, than i edit that ".as" file without opening the fla file. That code should work.
Code Snippets won't workEvery time I try to attach a Code Snippet I keep getting this error:***Notes from Customer***10/13/201020:55:30When I have a object on stage, and I try to add code snippet, I keep gettingerror message: The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument listI've watched video(s) on adding snippets, but it won't work for me like it
I am trying to create this html elements dynamically on the onload of my page,however;when I run it the code wont work on IE8 but okay in firefox,safari,and others.
function getmovie() { var container = document.getElementById("container"); if (!container)
I purchased a website template that has some flash in it however the auther of the template lacked to include instructions and seemed to have left it unfinished (The links don't work, of course).
I can't seem to locate the actionscript he talks about: [URL]
[code]....
Notice that nothing there with clickable links :
I cannot find the actionscript that deals with onRollOver actions I would be absolutly ecstatic.
I work with Flash Pro allmost 11 hours per day and every while i get a error which messes up everything. Approximetly i get this after about 2-3 hours withevery project.After i get this error there is no chance to test movies afterwards.I see a fast flash of the loader window but it dissapears so fast i cant even really see if it is loader.
I have been working on a full flash website for a while, and been testing it using the Ctrl + Enter command to export it to swf. Today I was working on the file making some text modifications, but when I tried to test the website, nothing happens. It shows the progress window, but after a while nothing happens, It wont show the swf test file, and It doesn't create the swf file in any way. I tried the other commands: file-publish, file-export to swf with no success. I'm using Flash CS4 professional (10.0.2) on Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit. Other .fla files export swf with no problem, and the Swf preview (Ctrl + Enter) works fine. It's only in this file.
I picked up the book ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University.so far it looks good. I have downloaded a few of the samples of code and some don't work or give an error message.TooEarlyExample gives me an error message of;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at TooEarlyExample()The flash file has two text fields and the code is supposed to populate them with some text. The first text field doesn't get populated with text but the second one does.
I've modified the code to work with Pear, since I had it installed. However, I can't get the code to work. The consolation is I can't get the original code to work, either. You can find the original code's results here:
have trouble with the Alpha slider (Color Effect>Alpha) not going all the way to 0% or 100%? A lot of the time, I can only get up to 99% or down to 1%, even if I manually enter values into the textbox accompanying the slider. Some of the time, it will not even take a manual entry in the textbox. For example, if the slider is set at 65%, I can enter 0%, and it will just go right back to 65%.
I have upgraded my CS4 to CS5 on MAC OSX and i'm having problems saving new and existing fla files. It doesnt always do it but it's very anoying when you have done some work and are unable to save it.
I get this message:
unable to save document as (file name)
please try saving to a different filename or location.
even if i try to save as to a different location i get the same message, this ONLY happens in flash CS5 and does not do it on any other application or even flash CS4. To put it bluntly i am absolutely furious with this and when you pay this amount of money should not get this hassle for such a simple action.
I have tried phoneing the adobe support line and it's a joke, you can't even understand the operator to even get anywhere and i just gave up having to repeat myself and asking them to repeat themselves.
I would be grateful if someone out there knows an answer to this or have a contact email for adobe support that i can email them direct. As a flash developer it's critical i can get on with my work without worrying if my work will even save.
UPDATE: I can save files in CS5 as CS4 documents but not as CS5, this is so annoying.
while ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets) think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).
Once you have read through the story and then go back along the timelone to previous pages all sfx that have previously been played will continuously start playing again (overlapping etc) even though SoundMixer.stopAll() gets called when ever you hit the back/next buttons. It seems to only be a problem with sound that is embedded in a movie clip that is 2 or more children deep. I have voice over that is just 1 movie clip deep and there is no issues with this. It only happens when playing through iPad/iPhone, the swf itself plays fine on my mac I have a work around of throwing all sfx in a mc on the main timeline and then referencing that but its not ideal and can see this causing more issues later down the track.
Ps. All mc's/animations are timeline based and all sounds are set to streaming.
When I click the check mark, message 'The script contains no errors'When I click the Auto format button, message 'This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted.ix the errors and try again.'I've never had these two buttons disagree.Code compiles normally and everything works.
I am having a difficult time trying to install Adobe Flash Player. I am running a Windows Vista Operating Sys. Once the download begins, it acts as if it is ready to download..and then a message pops up and says Error: Unable to load GUI..
