Code Hinting and coloring Feature not working

Question

In most of the related pages the code hinting feature is working great but in this asp page it give a warning saying : there is a syntax error on line xxxx. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error.
the code is as follows
<%
     sub jsWindowOnLoad()
%>
     <script type="text/javascript">
     function init1()
         <% '''''this place error
               if cp_name="Event" then
       %>    
          dp_start_date  = new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('Start_dt'));
          dp_end_date  = new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('End_dt'));
          <%        .         %>
       </script>
<%
     end sub
%>
the  ' <% ' marked with a comment is the place where the prompt appears.....
It is stored as .asp file
this file is is used as an include file in many other files....and apparently wherever this file appears in the include section the code hinting for that .asp file goes haywire. also all the asp and javascript code appears in the same color throughout the asp file.
due to the non working of code hinting and coloring my speed of development and error debugging is greatly reduced .... kindly suggest what can be done
just to clarify.....There is no problem in execution....everything works absolutely fine (even in the above code...) only no code hinting and color !!!

Answer 1

An example zip containing a simple project would be very helpful. Can you provide one or maybe a link to one?
My first guess would be that you're missing the Flex project nature on your project. You can add it by right clicking on your project and select Add/Change Project Type > Add Flex Project Type...
From there, you'll have to fix your project properties Flex Build Path > "Main source folder" to point to parent/flex-project or wherever the root of your flex source files are.
