CS4 Code Hinting Not Automatically Showing...

It says in the new features page that it has support for code
hinting for libraries such as jQuery.
Well how come it doesn't come up automatically when you type?
I have code hints enabled! I have to press Ctr+Spacebar for them to
come up!
Thanks.

Yes, because the code hints for Spry are hard-coded into
Dreamweaver.
The code hints for custom functions and objects, including
jQuery, YUI,
and other frameworks, are not hard-coded. They're generated
by code
introspection. That's why you need to press Ctrl+Space.
Full marks for doing a little research in Google, but didn't
you notice
that one of the top items was a tutorial on the Adobe site
about
JavaScript code hints?
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dreamweaver/articles/lrvid4048_dw.html
As you'll see from that tutorial, code hints come up after
you type a
period following the name of a variable that contains a
JavaScript
object. However, in my experience, you don't get the full
range of hints
for jQuery. I'm pretty sure that's because of the way that
jQuery is
contstucted.
Another Google search would also reveal the following
extension for
jQuery code hints:
http://www.xtnd.us/dreamweaver/jquery
I haven't used it, so can't comment on the quality or
reliability of the
extension.

  • Flash CS5 - code hinting doesn't show custom class constructor parameters

    Hi I've got other strange problem my code hinting works almost fine the  problem is that when I create my custom class object code hinting  doesn't show what kind of parameters can be passed to the class  constructor. It shows only "MyClass()", when i call a method like this  class_object.methodName( - parameters show correctly. What can be the  problem?

    I do not work for Adobe, just a fellow forum dweller.
    The example was made quickly because you said this:
    I've tried flash builder but if there is a way to associate code directly from it to symbols on the timeline I haven't been able to find it.
    Now you know how.
    I'm sorry but I don't even have Flash CS6. I still use CS5.5 because I use Flash Builder 4.6 for everything I do. I merely use Flash Pro to generate quick libraries full of goodies and export a SWC to use in Flash Builder.
    I realize it's obvious but you did ensure your preferences had hinting both enabled and the delay set low (or zero)? I can only show you a CS5.5 preference panel, I'm not sure if it's the same. Note one important thing in this photo which is "Cache size". I have mine on 800 files which seems to be fine. If you're pointing toward a HUGE library of classes you may want to increase that number and check completion again.

  • Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • Code hints not working in Flash CC

    I just downloaded the Flash CC trial and have been looking at the forums but I can't get code hints to work at all, when I begin to type a line I get "Building code hint cache" in bottom right of Actions panel with a warning icon - no more info available, no tool tip on rollover it apparently does nothing.
    I've looked for this problem in the forums and found many references to code hints not working and have tried all the support recommendations for deleting the CodeModel file, resetting preferences, deleting preferences, checking and unchecking preferences, changing the file cap in the registry and nothing seems to work - still no code hints at all.
    I'm on a windows 8 machine, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

  • Why would apple not automatically show the side bar in iTunes.  Wasted 20 min trying to find out why my ipod was not showing up.  Really really bad idea, Apple.

    Why does the side bar not automatically show up when you first download apple iTunes?  Really really bad design.  It took 20 min to fine the setting that enable the side bar.  ***?  I could not access my iPod for 20 freakin min!  Just show the **** side bar always!  Maybe apple is too big and is starting to lose common sense. 

    Because Apple update iTunes to do it that way. Apple has not said why.

  • Flash CS5 Update 11.0.1 Code hint not working

    My Flash Cs5 I was Update
    update say : version 11.0.1
    but i view About flash :  11.0.0.485
    and when I write some code : Code hint not working??
    anyone answer for me about this Update version??

    Hi,
    The binary (Flash.exe/Flash.app) were not modified in the update.  Thus, the binary version is still 11.0.0.485.
    As for the code-hinting not working, what code are you using?  Note, that the _mc, _xml, _array, etc. syntax no longer triggers code-hinting in Flash CS5 in ActionScript 3.0 documents.  If that's not what you are doing, can you please provide more information about what code you are using?
    Thanks,

  • DreamWeaver CS4 CSS code hints not working

    Please help.
    DreamWeaver has stopped showing code hints for CSS selector values. When I start typing "…   div {border:   …" DreamWeaver used to show the possible value for this selector (i.e. 1px solid #ccc). Now all that pops up is this "…   'border-width' 'border-style' 'color'   …"
    How can I get DreamWeaver to show the possible values for CSS? I'm running DreamWeaver CS4 on a Mac book pro with Snow Leopard. DreamWeaver was set up using the default settings, and there are no extensions enabled.
    The attached screen shots show what I am experincing.

  • Code Hints - not functioning. Why not?

    Code Hints in Dreamweaver CS4 were functioning fine until this morning. Now they don't appear to work.
    I've checked for syntax errors, but Code Hints will not function on any existing page or in a new document.
    I'm presuming that I've disabled them somehow but cannot find how or where.
    Code Hints are enabled via Preferences (Close tags after "</" & delay 0 seconds)
    The menu only gives options for Spry and DOM Code Hints.
    Any ideas as to why it's not functioning. I notice a number of posts where the same question has been raised but am yet to read a reply.
    All hints welcome...

    Easiest solution?
    Uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver.
    Sorted in 20 minutes. Even better, Dreamweaver 'remembers' all site login/ftp data, passwords, etc, so no concerns there.

  • Flash CS5 code hinting not working?

    Just installed the new Flash CS5 trial and code hinting doesn't appear to be working! I have added all my custom class paths in to the AS3 source paths, but I don't get any code hinting for any of these just the same old code hinting you get in CS4. Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work?
    UPDATE: If it helps, in the code editor i get a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in, in the bottom right hand corner. When I have over this it advises me:
    " *** Unable to build code hint cache. Please save the associated FLA into a different folder. There are too many files on the classpath. *** "
    This error message appears no matter what FLA/Class i open, and moving it makes no difference.
    UPDATE: Problem solved, the "There are too many files on the classpath" was the clue! Slimmed down my library and all seems to work now.
    However, this does bring me on to another question.. does anyone know how many class files flash can comfortably cache? I use some fairly chunky libraries in my work and am wondering if i'm going to find myself constantly slimming them down after a while?

    The reason everyone gives for AS3 is that AS2 was buggy.
    I don't think so. AS3 is a better language, better designed, more consistent, more powerful. I would switch to AS3 for that, not because of bugs - but I don't know what's the reason behind everyone's choice.
    AS2 was not buggy, people were writing buggy scripts
    AS2 was buggy. Maybe people were writing buggy scripts too, but believe me it was buggy. However AS3 is at the very least equally buggy. It is better designed, more consistent, but equally buggy in its implementation.
    All software have bugs, but programming languages usually undergo a stricter and more thorough revision than other kinds of sofware because the consequences of bugs in a programming language are more disastrous.
    But that's not the case of ActionScript. Maybe because of its history and its legacy, or maybe because Adobe was always dedicated to completely different kinds of software, like PhotoShop, Premiere and the like, and suddenly dove into the business of developing a programming language without having the know-how.
    The level of bugginess of ActionScript is amazing. I work with actionscript daily and there's no day that I don't run 4 ot 5 times into some problem due to some bug. Not that I discover new bugs every day, just run into them - sometimes they are already reported, other times they are not.
    Why should something that took one line of code (clicking on a movieClip
    to move to a frame) now take 5 or more lines of code (creating a
    listener object, assigning a listener object, writing a function).
    It often happens that a language that is in the overall more elegant, consistent and compact, turns out to need a bit more of code for doing the simplest things. Maybe what could be done with 1 line of code now takes 5, but things that took 1000 lines of cumbersome awkward tricky and hacky code can now be done with just 100 of readable and simple-to-understand code.
    When I first learned Java I was surprised at the quantity of code I had to write just to make a program that would print "hello world", while in most dialects of Basic it was just:
    10 PRINT "Hello world"
    Would you say Basic is superior to Java in any sense?
    I teach Flash at a university, both beginner and advanced users. [...]
    I'll stick to AS2 in my classes.
    You should think about the damage you may be doing to your students. If they are going to use ActionScript professionally, they'll have to learn AS3, rather sooner than later. So why not save them the pain to do the effort twice? If instead you are teaching them AS just for didactic purposes (i.e. for learning programming in general) and don't care about practical applications and you don't like the way AS has evolved (i.e. AS3), then consider teaching them another language, instead of an obsolete version of a current one.
    AS3 is not more complicated, or difficult to learn, or less designer-friendly or non-programmer-friendly than AS2. Not at all; rather the opposite. It is more complicated and difficult to learn when you already know AS2, because you feel like everything you knew is useless - but the same can be said about learning AS2 when you already know AS3. Starting from scratch, AS3 is indeed simpler.
    But this have drifted OT, sorry. Back to the topic:
    It's not an app killer, just a minor inconvenience
    It's a major inconvenience if writing the same amount of code takes you three times the time it should take. That in 2010 you have to spell every single property/method/class name entirely from the first to the last letter, when most of the time it should be just a matter of typing a couple of characters and hit tab, is simply ridiculous. You may as well write your code with NotePad. Flash is (among other things) an IDE - something Adobe seemed to neglect up to recently; and when they finally decided to take a step into making it work like any other decent IDE, it does not work!!
    There are bigger things to complain about.
    On this you are definitely right.
    Using their pretty remarkable products (where would we be without PS or
    DW?) is not a right, it's a (sometimes frustrating) privilege.
    It's a privilege you pay for. That's when it becomes a right.
    So Adobe mods, we're frustrated but only because we're all loyal users who depend on your products
    (emphasis is mine)
    Exactly. That's the point.
    Note there's been no helpful answer from them yet: that's how much they care about loyal users who depend on their products.

  • Code hints not working

    Dreamweaver CC 2014 on Mac Mavericks 10.9.5
    The first level will come up (with the initial list of all the tags available) but no further activity either automatically or with ^space. "Enable Code Hints" is checked in preferences. Restarting system does not help.
    Without help with the tags it might as well be a text editor if you work in the code view.
    EDIT>>  Just discovered this problem is specific to one of my defined sites. It works in a different site. Will try to set up site again.
    UPDATE>> Setting up a new site will work for a little while and then stop working.

    Check your code for errors. DWCC goes nutty, well nuttier anyway, than older versions when it runs into code issues...
    http://validator.w3.org
    Also, CC tends to not give options in hinting if what you're trying to add would be invalid for the document type. If you try to add <cfdirectory> to a .html for example, no <cf...> tags will hint at all because they don't belong in a .html document.
    If none of that helps, try clearing the program cache: Deleting a corrupted cache file

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

    Hi,
    Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!
    - Matt

    Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
    I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

  • Close Tags and other code hints not working after installing Dreamweaver 2014

    I'm working on a windows machine.  All the code hinting features where working on previous installations, but they're not on 2014.  I'm not sure if it's a bug or something was changed and I have to turn the features on somewhere other than the Code Hints settings?

    Try re-starting CC2014.

  • HTML5 code hinting not working inside Javascript Function on DW CS6

    Hi,
    I am working on Dreamweaver CS6 and code hinting isnt working as expected when writing Javascript code.
    The minute I insert a function the code hinting doesnt display HTML5 items anymore.
    Should I remove the function then the HTML5 hinting reappears.
    How do I get the code hinting to work when I add in the function?
    Thanks

  • Flash Code Hinting not working

    I cannot seem to get code hinting working for flash (not flex) packages in Flash Builder Professional.
    Code hinting is working for some some packages, but it doesn't include the the Flash specific packages (flash.*).
    My Referenced Libraries includes playerglobal.swc, flash.swc, ik.sec, PffLib.swc, tlfruntime.swc, and textLayout.swc.  None of these swc's seem to have the flash package included (i'd expect to see it in the flash.swc).
    I have tried several attempts to create new workspaces, new projects, but nothing seems to fix it.
    I am using the Flash Builder Plugin with Eclipse 3.5.2.  I also have the Master Collection installed.
    Is this even possible in Flash Builder?
    Thanks
    N8

    The biggest problem is that i don't have code hinting for the flash package.  For example, when attempting to create a new variable of data type flash.events.Event.  i do not get code hinting for the packages or classes within those packages.
