I've got an mxml component that I've created. Below is a simple code
sample of what I'm experiencing...
Basically I've got a component creating an array of another component.
All code hinting was working great for a while. Then, for no apparent
reason it stopped working. Now I can still access items within the
component if I type it manually... HOWEVER.... Anything new I add into
the child component is not accessible no matter if it's typed in
correctly or not. It's like the compiler is stuck or is forgetting to
update the code. I did try to "clean" the project to no avail. I had a
similar issue happen when I nested a variable increment in an if
statement like this:
If ( nVar++ < 10 )
I've also seen issues where FB4 doesn't pick up that you forget the end
semicolon ';' and still lets you compile and run. I've gone over this
code many times and I know that this isn't the case as well...
The difference with that statement is that it broke all code hinting on
the component. I was thinking it was the same type of thing so I
commented out all by the necessary code to do this operation and had the
same issue. There were no complex statements when I ran that test.
Any ideas on what I'm experiencing?
Thanks.

day.mxml sample:
....
public function setNumber( nNumber:number ):void
{
_nNumber = nNumber;
}
....
----------------
Parent component: month.mxml
private var aryOfDays:array = new array[];
private function init():void
{
private var dcDay:day;
// at this point I can do a dcDay.[controlspace] and code hinting works
just fine and I can see the setNumber function
aryOfDays.push(dcDay);
for( var nLoop:int = 0; nLoop < 10; nLoop++ )
{
dcDay = new day();
dcDay.setNumber = 1;
aryofDays.push(dcDay);
}
// now if I try accessing something within the array of days no code
hinting works
for( nLoop = 0; nLoop < 10; nLoop++)
{
aryOfDays[nLoop]. // no code hinting works. However, I can access
some properties of the object if I type it in manually so if I do this:
aryOfDays[nLoop].setNumber(1); // this works. No big deal I can type
it in manually BUT....
}
}
