Lost code hints

Question

I Have lost my automatic code hints in some files. They are
turned on in Preferences but don't come up as I'm keying in code.
Any help?

If you are using Actionscript 3 you should
1) Use event listeners to detect mouse-down and mouse-up
events on the movieclip.
2) Set up functions to drag and drop the movieclip.
3) In the drop function get the x and y position of the
movieclip and
4) trace it out or put the values into dynamic textfields.
Here's a simple example. The code is on the first frame of
the timeline
myMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
startDragSquare);
myMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragSquare);
function startDragSquare(evt:MouseEvent):void
this.startDrag();
function stopDragSquare(evt:MouseEvent):void
this.stopDrag();
var xpos = this.x;
var ypos = this.y;
trace ("X: "+xpos+", Y: "+ypos);
}
