Syntax highlight Flash Builder

Question

I don’t know if this is the right place but I have a simple question about Flash Builder.
In the following example, how can I change the color of the "MovieClip"? I want my variable types highlighted.
private var myMc:MovieClip;

Answer 1

Ahm.. Anything imported (SWC/import/etc) will have highlighting if it is a known type.
In your example above you said MovieClip and then proceeded to import MouseEvent.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICKED)); // MouseEvent will be colored.
In FB a "known class" is highlighted. It's an abstract and simple to understand concept. If you use a strict type on a class with a deliberate type set, it will work. If you expect that to interpolate between references, that's not going to happen, nor will code completion.
e.g.:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var a:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); // MovieClip is understood as a strict class, code completion works on var 'a'
var b:Object = a; // b is a reference and can run methods that 'a' can, but code completion will not work.
The exception is going to be Core classes. They will be black.
