Flash CS5 Unable to get AS3 Code Hinting to work

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.
Specs:
Windows 7 64
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
4GB RAM DDR

Hi
I got the exact same problem.
I just received my CS5 web premium package and installed it.
For some reason, the code hinting feature does not produce anything.
It is possible to popup a general code hinting list by using CTRL+Space other
than that I get nothing.
Normally by using suffixes such as _txt, _mc etc, this should enable the
code hinting, but this does not happen.
Is it possible to break the code hinting, by installing CS5 to a different partition other than the primary (C:\)?
Before you ask: I'm not using external as files in my test. It is a simple FLA
file, which contains a classic text only.
The use of the . (dot) does not produce anything at all.
I hope some kind soul can tell us, what's happening since a lot of prople DO
apparently get code hinting.
Any help is much appreciated
Best Regards
Peter

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,

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 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 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.

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

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.

Code Hinting not working for WordPress

Hi Guys,
I followed instructions on Adobe official site to install XAMPP and then create a wordpress project on CS6.
I followed instructions in: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html
I realized that code hinting is not as good as the other IDEs.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks,
Kim

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Flash CS5: unable to drag component to stage or library

We are the developers of a complex Flash component (http://www.openspace-engine.com) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time, so any help would be appreciated.
-1-
After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2-
If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.
Any ideas? Thank you.

The described issues have been reported to Adobe, which was able to replicate and to fix them. Simply install the latest Flash update.
Thank you to the Flash development team.

Flash CS6 code hinting issue

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.

Site-specific code hints not working

Hi, I'm new here. I really hope that someone will help me. I think this might be a very simple question. I am using WAMP and it's working. I have installed the Zend Framework and made sure that the include_path is the path where Zend Framework library resides. I'm trying to use Zend's Date.php and its Zend_Date() class. I have correctly added the site-specific code hints. My problem is that I am getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function Zend_Date() in C:\wamp\www\dwwithphp\_includes\DateUtility.php on line 6. I am actually following lynda.com's Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and mySQL tutorials in chapter 0305: Using Zend Framework classes with code hints. I have followed all instructions and I'm getting this error. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Since this is non standard DW5 functionality you may be better off contacting the author of the Lynda.com class through Lynda.com to see if they can help you check to see if you have things configured properly. Lynda.com is very good about getting you access to the authors.

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.
Thanks,

Wow... you waited all of 2 hours...

Flash CS5 is incredibly slow, makes it impossible to work

I'm a student trying to complete a project on Flash CS5. The project has no music or sound, only one tween, the rest in frame by frame drawings in simple black lines over a white background.
The whole thing only lasts 5 seconds as of now but Flash acts like it's a huge file.
Everything is slow, control Z freezes everything for several minutes, saving takes also quite a while and sometimes the whole program shuts down for something as simple as erasing a line.
I am also unable to force quit the whole thing because it has made the files I'm working on unable to open again (clicking on it would result in a box saying "Failed to open document").
I have tried to install it on two different computers, yet nothing changes. If anyone knows anything that could help, please answer.

Hi!
Hove you found how to do this? I would like to know too
Thank you!
