Code hints across the timeline

Hi all,
If I define a variable in the first frame of my flash timeline (strongly typed).
     var strMyString:String = "My String";
then stop the playhead on the 10th frame and access my variable in actionscript, I lose code hints.
     stop();
     strMyString.
Is it possible to have code hints available across the whole timeline or are they limited to the frame in which the variable was declared?
Many thanks..
Simon.

You have to follow naming procedure for variables for proper coding hint.
In frame 1 itself if you type strMyString. nothing happens.
For a check I have typed strMyString_txt. in frame 10 then code hint appeared.
I hope I have succeed in explaining what I meant for proper naming convention.

Code synchronization across the cluster

Do the App Servers take care of synchronizing webapp java code across multiple nodes of a cluster.
or does synchronizing work only on a single JVM
Thanks,
Sunil.

When you talk of synchronization do you mean more than one thread accessing mutable object state or synchronizing serialized session data per node such as data stored in the HTTP session?
For the thread synchronization which is what I think you mean, a thread on machine A running on JVM 1 cannot access an object running on machine B under JVM 2 so there is no need to worry about synchronization.
In the second instance, there is nothing concrete in the Java EE spec therefore it is up to the vendor, but typically this is handled.

Slide order in the timeline

I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page.
In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually.
I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on. I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore.
How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this?
(Keep in mind, I know NOTHING else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.)

Thanks so much for your reply, Rob.
The slides are on the timeline and each one is displayed as the playback head moves from one frame to another. I do this in my file by dragging the red rectangle with the red line extending from below it across the timeline, which is on a layer that the original author named MC Content. However, when I go to the layer called Scene 1 where the navigation bar is, the red rectangle at top will not move when I try to drag it.
I don't know what the action script does except to link my button to a page on our website. The code looks like this for slide 1.
slide1_1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction5_1);
function myButtonFunction5_1(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.tobaccofreecatalog.org/ProductDetails.aspx?id=2&itemno=J660");
navigateToURL(request,"_self");
I don't know if the slides use actionscript to show and hide each one.
Now that I look at it, maybe all I need to do is change myButtonFunction5_1 to myButtonFunction1_1 on the above code?
I don't know how to answer your last question. The individual images for each slide are jpegs I created in InDesign, but I don't know how they are referenced or what that means.

Class Code Hints Stops Working

I'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. Any ideas on 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. The downside to doing that is that if you don't need the Flex framework it makes your outputted swf larger than it needs to be.

FlashDevelop. Even in CS5 the editor is crap in comparison.

Change colors in code hint

Hello,
is there any way to change the hover color in the content
assist (code hint)? The current color (light blue) is hardly
visible and I cannot see the current item the mouse is over.
Thanks,
have fun

Well in my previous posting I did not mention the OS. The
problem appears in Windows Vista and nothing is wrong with Flex.
This light-pale blue is the same that appears in context menus and
in the start menu. I searched a lot in google and I found that a
way to change this color is to edit msstyle or use a third party
program like windowblinds. Not to mention that a lot of people
complain about this color.
Anyway, in Windows XP everything is ok.
Have fun

Flash CS 5.5 code hinting

Hi all ! Hope someone can help me!
I just got Flash CS 5.5 on my Mac and code hinting is not working at all... I tried many of the suggestions in the different threads concerning this problem to no avail... It just is broken! Used to work quite well in CS4...
I was pretty mad when they removed the built in AS dictionary which was a great tool... Now code hinting doesn't seem to exist anymore? I can't get anything: not even pressing ctrl-space bar or clicking the code hinting icon in the AS editor window...
This is really bothering me and I hope someone can help me out!?
What's the point in paying for very expensive upgrades if they keep on removing features...?

This is driving me nuts... NUTS! Does anybody at Adobe even care? How come there are still problems with this?
I tried every suggestion I could find online, from "disabling and then enabling code hints in the prefs" to "deleting the CodeModel folder", but still no code hinting. It doesn't even work now after pressing CTRL + SPACE, neither the Show code hint button works. Absolutely nothing for AS3. One day it simply decided to stop working. I haven't added any additional library nor anything. For AS2 it works fine tho...

Exclude inherited properties and functions from code hinting

Since, by design, the [Exclude] metatag works only with MXML code hinting, I was wondering if there is any other way of achieving this. For my reasoning why I consider this feature a necessity please consult my bug report on jira.
Anyway, coming back to the problem at hand, I have come up with two possible ways of achieving this:
1. Use the [Deprecated] metatag and change an option in the Flash Builder, to hide Deprecated functions from the code hinting. The problem is, there is no such option!
2. Install a plugin which adds a new ASDoc tag (let's name it @exclude) which simply speaking removes all functions/properties which have @exclude in their asdoc from code hinting. But again, I have found no such plugin and I don't have necessary skills to accomplish this task.
3. A mix of both - plugin which adds an option to hide deprecated elements from the code hinting. Probably the easiest to develop but still, I haven't managed to find such plugin anywhere and I wouldn't know how to even start looking for information to write it.
If you know how this could be accomplished (without resorting to, for example, manipulating the projects's design by using Interfaces) I'd love to hear them.

Well yes of course. But I am trying to make everything available to the same package. Like a namespace. But I want to only expose the base class for instantiation by third party developers.
For instance I have a base class in a SWC named SomethingClass. SomethingClass utilized SomethingClassB, SomethingClassC and SomethingClassD classes and there need to be public methods in between them.
During code completion/code hinting I would like to stop SomethingClassB, SomethingClassC and SomethingClassD from even showing up in that list.
The whole class. Not just some methods or variables.

Code hints and Design view preview missing

Using FB with Flex sdk 3.3 and AFCS SDK 0.91. I installed the
SDK per the instructions in the ACFS dev guide. I then added the
FP9 afcs.swc to my project build path and compile for fp 9.0.124
The sample apps do compile and run.
However
1. I am getting no code hinting for the acfs classes
2. IN design view, the components show as white rectangles
with red x's and obscure the flex components
3. The design view>components view, the acfs folder is
empty, while the "custom" folder is full of acfs components.
Any idea as to what might be incorrect?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I think it turns out we made a slight error in the dev guide
in the setup instructions - we mention that you should link the
AFCS source into your project in order to debug. Unfortunately this
seems to override the useful metadata baked into the SWC which
makes the SDK work with FB more seamlessly.
Advice : Remove the source path, then go to the library
path. Where you see AFCS.swc, expand it and select "source
attachment". Hit the edit button and add the source path there.
This seems to do the trick, allowing you to debug into the code
without overriding the swc itself.
We'll get the docs fixed up to reflect this better way to
set up the SDK.
thanks

Add wordpress code hinting extension, now there is no php code hinting

I installed the the dreamweaver plugin here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=3230522 which enables code hinting for wordpress functions. This is great but now there is no normal code hinting for php.
Is there a way to have both wordpress and php code hinting at the same time?
Thanks

HTML5 code hinting has been available in Dreamweaver since version CS5.5. It's definitely there in CS6, both in the original version, and in the 12.1 Creative Cloud update. The HTML5 code hints are not dependent on the Doctype. They appear even if you have an XHTML 1.0 Doctype.
Since you have multiple problems with Dreamweaver CS6, it sounds as though you have a corrupt installation. Alternatively, there is something else on your computer that is causing a conflict with Dreamweaver. A third possibility is faulty RAM. I remember having serious problems with Dreamweaver several versions ago. It turned out that Dreamweaver was the only program accessing a damaged sector of RAM. It might be worth running a diagnostic program on your hardware.
The other possibility is that you have been sold a cracked version. Did you buy Dreamweaver directly from Adobe or from some other source?

Burrito code Hinting issue

Hello there,
I've a big issue with code hinting on the brand new Burrito! For all class (native and created...) when i hit ctrl space i've nothing appear in th code hint panel!
Maybee somthing new must bee installed?
What a bug!

I've had this problem with all versions of FB. It will auto-complete and open-resource some of my packages/classes, but not all. Workaround is to run a script in BBEDIT that replaces spaces with tabs, then another does the reverse. This touches all my classes and refreshing FB does the trick. It's a bit of a pain. If anyone knows a better solution, I'd be happy to hear it.

Code Hinting

Hi,
I have added a library swc for LiveCycle Collaboration Service, but I am not getting code hinting for the components.
There is a thread here: LCCS rtc Code Completion
Has anyone had problems with FB4 not providing code hinting for a library swc?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Radhakrishna,
But that didn't work either. It just doesn't seem to like my version of FB4.1
Thanks again,

Graphic Anomalies on the timeline

Premiere Pro CC 2014 (software "up to date" as of 1/13/15)- As I slide the cursor over the timeline I get white vertical lines, Also I get trails of the CTI as I drag it across the timeline. In addition, I get black vertical lines around the various toggles at both monitors.
I have a PC laptop i7 cpu quad core with 16gb RAM and nvidia GT650M with 2gb VRAM.
Any suggestions on what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated....I never had any issues with CS6.

F.Y.I.
I contacted Adobe Help, via Chat, and they were able to help me with the problem. I have a PC laptop with a 15" screen, so I changed the screen (Display) resolution from 100% (standard) to 110% (custom). They asked me to change it to the "standard" mode and all is well.

CSS editor code hinting problem

I have installed ColdFusion Builder (trial version) togeter with Flash Builder, and I experience that code hinting in the CSS editor does not work. If I edit the CSS file, the changes is not updated when I change to browser view. (It works when I usen an external browser). I have tried to install CFB onto a existing Flash Builder standalone, and also tried to Install Flash Builder and CFB onto an Eclipse Helios installation. The CSS editor does not work in any case.
Somebode have a solution to this problem? I have been in contact with another person that have the same problem. He have solved it temporarily by installing Flash Builder and CFB in two seperate stand alone intsallations.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for your help!
It works also for me....strange as I didn't find the way to chnage it back to the old way. Probable I have to get use to the new way, however space was more convinient than tab.
Best regards,
Peter

Code Hinting in JavaScript Files

I use the jQuery framework. If I have an HTML page with the jQuery framework included, I can type JavaScript code in a script tag in the HTML document and Dreamweaver will provide code hints from the jQuery framework.
How can I get these same code hints in a seperate JavaScript file in my site? Is there some way I can add a reference to the jQuery file?
(I know in Visual Studio 2010 I can add an XML reference tag at the top of a JavaScript file with the path to the jQuery file, and that enables the IntelliSense jQuery code hints in the JavaScript file I am working on...)
Thanks!
- J

Yeah, it would be good.
Site-specific code hinting doesn't seems to work anywhere, although I tried with adding *.js and with specifically the jquery file too, no luck.

Code hinting with array of elements

I am having an issue where I can get code hinting on the entire array, but not if a I specify an individual element.
Example
var dataFields = new Array();
var allElems = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (var i = 0; i < allElems.length ; i++) {
if (allElems[i].className == "classNameofElementIWant") dataFields.push(allElems[i]);
Above is what I use to get an array populated with a specific element I want to work with.
I can then get code hinting on dataFields.
but no code hinting on dataFields[1].
Obviously this is because the array doesn't have any elements in it until run time after it runs the above code.
My question:
Is there a way to tell code hinting to display using an array without the [] subscript specified when it can see that an array has no elements?
Thank you
