Code Hints Problem - CS3

I just got Flash CS3 today, I have it installed and I
uninstalled Flash 8 after I installed Flash CS3, the problem is,
code hints don't display anymore like it did before when I type
"on(" or whatever, and I really need them, they are my lifesaver.
Yes, I do have them enabled in the settings, and they just don't
show up.
Oh yeah, it doesn't show up for AS3, AS2/Flash Player 8
settings work fine.
I'm running Vista.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Grabs taken
while authoring an external class (.as) file in CS3.
No "method completion" hint like I would get in Studio 8:
img1
And I get all the AS3 methods and properties because there is
apparently no way to tell Flash that I want this .as file to be an
AS 2.0 class - note the lack of properties like _alpha:
img2
So, seriously, am I missing something or did Adobe just make
Flash CS3 even worse than Studio 8 for authoring AS 2.0 classes?

Flash Builder 4.6 code hinter problem - not showing some methods

Hi All,
I have a problem with FB code hinter. It does not show some methods on an object.
To be exact I created a Date object and FB code hinter does not show .toDateString method (actually I it shows only one to string method - .ToString(), although according to docs there are more)
When I use .toDateString method, code still compiles and work just fine, however method is not showing up in code hinter, which is really annoying..
Anyone had this problem? If so, please, share some wisdom how to solve this thing.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Here is some more info in my problem.
I have tried to reinstall the application, but it did not help.
So what I did was:
* first I installed FB standard edition version 4.
* I checked the code hinter and it worked. It showed .toDateString method.
* I have purchased FB standard 4.5 upgrade.
* I installed this upgrade, and boom the code hinter does not show the method...
* Next I tried to create a project with Flex 4.1 sdk and then it worked - method was there. So the problem is with 4.6 sdk apparently...sucks...

Hi, I have the same problem. I have a new FB 4.6 installation and it is my first FB installation. Do you have a solution already?

CSS Code Hints in CS3

I'm new to DW (CS3). I'm making an external CSS and when I
press return to get a new line I get a code hint that pops up to
select which attribute I might want next. I find if I click on an
item in the list it is not entered for me.
If I use the arrow keys and press return/enter it accepts it
an enters it for me.
Is this how it is supposed to work? That seems like an error
to me.

As you type the hint zeros in on the rule that you want (or
you can use the
up and down keyboard arrows to select the rule that you want)
Once the
desired rule is highlighted pressing the Enter key on your
keyboard will
place the rule in your stylesheet.

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

Dreamweaver CS3 Code Hints

Has anyone experienced problems with DW CS3's code hints for
ColdFusion? I've installed the CF8 extensions, but the code hints
don't work properly in Windows XP (My Mac version works fine).
Basically, the "hints" for tags work, but only to an extent.
For example, I've found the code hints for CFWINDOW do not provide
the color picker for bgcolor in the style attribute. Funny quirks
such as that.

are you implying that the newer versions of IIS might be more up to date than the cs3 dreamweaver and that is where my problems will arise?
I am not implying anything. I am simply wondering if the IIS is configured properly. Have you tried creating a basic static page and load it in your browser to see if it loads OK?
Obviously, without looking at your code it is almost impossible to say anything meaningful. However, I suggest post your query at this link:

Hope this helps and Happy New Year to you.

DW CS3 missing code hinting

I see this same question posted on the discussion boards and no one has a good answer; if one at all.
Control + Spacebar is not bringing up code hints.

> can anyone explain why this might be happening?
Could only be attributed to user error.
Can you give us a set of steps that causes this to happen
reliably?

VBScript editor with Intellisense/Code Hinting support for Adobe App

I am looking for some tool to write my InDesign VBScript files in. I would really like to know if there is any which support Intellisense/Code hinting for Adobe programs (InDesign especialy). Do you have anything to recommend?
I am quite good at hacking my computer, so no registry change etc. is a problem for me, I just can not find any. I already tried PrimalScript 2009 but it doesn not work.
What I need is that in following block of code
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4")
Set myDialog = myInDesign.Dialogs.Add
I will get list of all methods/properties after I write the dot after "myInDesign" in second line. But it never worked. I even tried to put "InDesign.Application.CS4/C:\ProgramData\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\cs_CZ\Scripting Support\6.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb" line into Options>Text editor>Type libraries.
I am using Windows Vista SP1 and I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed (upgrade from CS3 which was upgraded from CS2)
Thanks a lot for any help/suggestion, as I start feeling desperate.

Hi Everyone!
As I have said, I waited for next service release, which is as of now PrimalScript 2009 version 5.0.614 and I did some testing with it.
Results:
WinXP EN Professional
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Working, no need to setup anything
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate EN (in trial/not activated mode)
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows 7
I am not planning to use Win7 in near future, so I did not not run any test on it.
Windows Vista SP1 Home Premium Slovak (fully activated)
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (full mode) - Not working. This is my main machine. It is Creative Suite CS2 upgraded to CS3 then CS4 (it is running for years without reinstall). I use CS3/CS4 side by side for some older projects. There are still references to CS2 in registry. I tried pointing PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, but to no avail. My conclussion is that there is someting messed with its config or registry, but I am pretty sure it would run after complete system reinstall.
Both WinXP EN Pro and Vista SP1 Ultimate EN were clean install into MS Virtual PC 2007, with only Creative Suite and PrimalScript 2009 5.0.614 installed into each machine so I made sure there are no other issues involved.
As I spend 80% of my time with developement of websites and scripting of MS Office/Creative Suite, I have some virtual machines set up for testing purposes. I will use one of them for development in PrimalScript and move it to main (real) Windows Vista Home Premium Slovak installed once I will decide to completely reinstall it. The need for seting up the typelibray link is no deal for me, as it is working as expected then, and I expect a lot ;-)
So problem solved, I found o program I will use. There may be others which do better or are cheaper (but I do not know about any) but $299 is not a big issue when I get what I want.
P.S.: The solution with making VBScript code with VBA declaration (using Dim) is not a solution I like, as I would need to comment it out everytime I run/edit the script and it would be pain in the *** while debugging it as i would need to do lot of comment/uncomment cycles and i can use my ime better then doing the monkey work as some fo the scripts I write are quite huge and I prefer to build them incrementaly and test/debug a lot.
I wish to thank everyone for their help and suggestions,
Matus

CF8 Code Completion problem on Vista

Here’s this issue.
Work Box: Running XP Pro, CF8 & DW8: New tags for CF8
(i.e. cflayout, etc...) are showing up fine in the code completion
list menus when coding.
Laptop: Running Vista Home Premium, CF8, DW CS3. CF8
installed and runs just fine but when I am coding in DW CS3 the NEW
CF8 tags do not show up in the code completion (code hints?) list
menu, all the CF7 tags are still there. Not a show stopper but it
is annoying. Even when I type the full tag in (i.e. cflayout) it
doesn't even color code it as a CF tag.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is and how I can
fix the problem? Are there some files that might not have installed
properly when I installed CF8 on my Vista box? If so can I just
copy them from my XP box and put them on the Vista box?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

no, they are actually on the adobe cf8 downloads page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
and i do not think DW8 come with cf8 extensions...
i know it did come with cf7 extensions built-in, but
definitely not cf8
ones... cf8 was not anywhere near out at that time yet...
so if yours version has cf8 tags/function completion/hints
and cf8 help,
it probably has cf8 extensions installed - you can check it
by going to
Help -> Manage Extensions...

Code hints don't work - include files using a variable

In Dreamweaver CS 5.5 code hints didn't work properly.
DW would not look at my code and find the include files and look at the functions inside them when using a variable to make an absolute path, which is the best way to include files in PHP (its faster and more reliable on your web server)
Here is an example:
======================================
public_html/util/util_index.php
$DIR_MAIN =dirname(dirname(__FILE__).'../');
require_once "$DIR_MAIN/init.php";
my_function(#CODE COMPLETE DOES NOT WORK HERE
public_html/init.php
$DIR_INCLUDE= "$DIR_MAIN/inc";
require "$DIR_INCLUDE/common_functions.php";
#set up environment variables
#connect to the database
#etc
public_html/inc/common_functions.php
function my_function(param1, param2, param3) {
=======================================
Has this been fixed in Dreamweaver CS6 or should I wait until CS7?
Until this works, I prefer Notepad++

I made a full SQL Developer installation with Java included, so I suppose that the included version is used.
After a problem with the German Version I tried to switch to English Version by using the hint:
link: 1.5.4 export insert statements
I changed the content of sqldeveloper.conf and now again the code templates (strg-shift-t) don't work!!!
(I already rebooted and set the accelerators to default, but it didn't help now.)
This is the content of my sqldeveloper.conf now:
"IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf
AddVMOption -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name="SQL_Developer"

(.asc) Code Hinting in Flash Professional CS5.5 || Flash Builder 4.5

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 FMSGuru.com where one may obtain an Eclipse Plugin, but:
It was created in 2007 (likely out dated)
It has known bugs that haven't been addressed
Searched 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: If anyone knows how I can enable FP or FB to give code hints / syntax highlighting, I would really apprecaite some direction. If not, I appreciate the fact you even read this.
Have a good one. Happy Coding.

To note, Dreamweaver has the ability to provide code hinting if I remember correctly but I'm perpetually disappointed in the FMS team for not providing even ONE item that helps in the development of server side coding for FMS. They have never provided anything and it's been up to the good will of developers for the platform to put together tools. As it is now, you'll probably never see anything better as most people (that I know of) have moved away from FMS, partially for this reason despite multiple requests that Adobe do something. Not to insult the FMS team, as they do what they have to do to pull in the paycheck, and the bean counters provide that and seem to be making most of the decisions.
ok. rant all done now

Flash Builder - No Code Hinting For New Flash Professional Project??

I had been using flash builder as an as3 editor and compiling from flash builder. The Flash Professional Project in Flash Builder seems perfect. It will give me the flexibility to compile from Flash Professional, or compile from the flex sdk, use breakpoints, have all my files nicely in the package explorer.
However, it has been a terrible terrible experience. For some reason code hinting is completely turned off on all levels in Flash Professional Projects. I have been looking in every preference panel trying to figure out why this is happening. If it is actually the case that you get no code hinting whatsoever then they really should not have even bothered adding this into Flash Builder because coding in this fashion is a joke.
However, I am still optimistic about it. Can someone help me turn on code hinting?

Ok. Solved it. The issue was that we were using linked source code and library swcs that were all located under the same directory. When you pull up the project's properties and go to "Flex Build Path" under the "Source Path" tab you can add that directory without a problem. However, under the "Library Path" instead of just adding the directory, I added each swc individually and that solved my problem. Now all the code hinting is working perfectly.

Ctrl + Spacebar will not bring up code hints either

I'm using Windows XP CS3 with Dreamweaver from Creative Suite CS4. I cannot get code hints (when enabled) or when I press Ctrl + Spacebar.
When I press Ctrl + Spacebar nothing happens.

Take a look at:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bd 7a.html

Code hints interface and compilation is too slow,who can help me?

I used Flashcc to generate the SWC library, after quote the library in my project, the pop-up of code hints interface is very slow (about 30 seconds), and the project compilation speed is very slow.It is unbearable！is there any method can improve the situation?thank you!!

Sounds like you might have a configuration issue on the o/s side.
Check that kernel parameters are set as recommended in the installation guide
The first thing that came to mind after reading the problem description was that you might have too low SHMMAX for that 10GB SGA, which would cause multiple shm segments to be created and thus explain the performance degration you're experiencing.
A quick way to check if that's the case would be doing "ipcs -m" to see if there are multiple shm segments when SGA is set to 10GB.

CSS Code Hints

I use Dreamweaver 8 at work and at home. The exact same
version. However at work, when I type:
background:[space]
I get a Code Hint popup, allowing me to pick a color, URL, or
several background options. Well at home, it works the same,
however if i continue, like this:
background: #FFFFFF[space]
at work, I get the same popup again, but at home, it doesn't
pop it up a second time. Same for borders and other shorthand
items. I found an option in the Preferences called CSS Styles, and
I checked all those boxes, but I think that just made matters worse
and did not resolve my problem. I just checked and those options
aren't even selected on my work computer. So what's different that
would cause those code-hints not to pop up at home. Could it be a
plug-in (or extension). This copy at work is a very new install,
but mine at home is rather old. Any ideas?

Maybe you misunderstood. I'm not having a problem writing in
shorthand, my problem is if I try to add more than one attribute to
property of a given style. For instance:
.style {
background: url(img/bg.jpg) repeat-y top center #EEEEEE;
as opposed to
.style {
background-color: #EEEEEE;
background-image: url(img/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top center;
See, if i use each of those attributes, the dialog comes up
fine, but when using shorthand, it's supposed to come up with all
the available options, like:
COLOR, -> Opens the Color Picker
URL, - > Opens the Browse Dialog
no-repeat, -> (option for background-repeat)
repeat-x, -> (option for background-repeat)
none, -> (option for background)
transparent, -> (option for background)
top, -> (option for background-position)
left, -> (option for background-position)
etc.
Also, CTRL + SPACE only pulls up tags, not attributes.
