Flash CS4: Library Item Code Hinting

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

I seem to always have problems getting the code hinting to appear while developing in the Flash IDE. Until today I miss typed a parenthesis and wham-o now it works.

Example:
I have a Movie Clip in the Library where the “Export for ActionScript” box is checked and the class is called SomeAwesomeClass.

Before, I would reference this clip like this:

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new SomeAwesomeClass());

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new SomeAwesomeClass());

or

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new SomeAwesomeClass());

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new SomeAwesomeClass());

and would never get any sort of code hinting.

Now, I call it like this:

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new (SomeAwesomeClass));

var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(new (SomeAwesomeClass));

and who’s your uncle, goldenromDOTcom, it works!

Not really sure why it works this way, but it does, Happy coding!

Adobe Stickers: A Fashion Trend?

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Me being a proud Adobe user and getting a slew of stickers recently(see this post) was surprised to see that Lee Brimelow has the same taste in stickers. Check out Lee’s video about MacWorld over at his blog. At around 2:15 is where he shows off his MacBook Pro.

I saw this post from a lady over at Adobe. So I followed the directions, and sent a self adressed stamped envelope to her and a week later I had my stickers.
So Thanks Heidi from Adobe.

So excited!
