RE: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder/Actionscript 3 Meta Tags

You might want to try the Flexcoders list:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/

Meanwhile, if I understand your question correctly, you might want to look
at ASDoc: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ASDoc

Subject: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder/Actionscript 3 Meta Tags

Aloha,
 
I'm new to this list and looking forward to the support I can give and the
help I can receive.
 
Anyway, about a week ago I started programming in AS 3.0 in Flex Builder 2.
Now I'm wondering about meta tags and so forth for code hinting.
 
I would like to enable in the codeing process to provide textual information
in the code completion tooltip.
 
For example:
if my method is:
 
/*
 @summary Says hello to someone
 @arguments argName The name of the person to say hello to  @returns True if
the operation was successful and False if it failed */ public function
sayHello(argName:String):Boolean {
//code here...
}
 
 
if I type:
MyClass.sayHello(
 
rather than seeing sayHello(argName:String):Boolean in the code hinting
window I want to see something like this:
 
sayHello(argName:String):Boolean
Say hello to someone
TAKES: argString:String - The name of the person to say hello to
RETURNS: True if the operation was successful and False if it failed
 
Anyone know how to do this.  I've searched the net and can't find anything.
Search under flex builder, actionscript, flash, and eclipse for meta tags
and wasn't able to locate a thing except for AS 2.0 components which are
removed from 3.0
 
I had some of this when I was coding in primalscript and there were meta
tags when I was working with ActionScript 2.0 and components.
Are there any 3.0 meta tags anyone is aware of?  
 
Thanks for your help,

Re: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder/Actionscript 3 Meta Tags

2007-01-02 Thread greg h 

Kalani,

For code hints, I believe you are looking for the [Inspectable] metadata
tag.

[Inspectable] is used by both Flash and Flex components.

For Flash 8, the doc page on [Inspectable] is here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/3033.html

For Flex 2, the doc page on [Inspectable] is here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1658.html
and the doc page listing metadata tags is here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1651.html

Unfortunately, the currently available Flash 9 AS3 Preview
docshttp://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htmdo
not include coverage of metadata tags for components like
[Inspectable].

fyi, both of Jim's suggestions are excellent.  ASDoc is for creating
LiveDocs style documentation.  And the Flexcoders list will likely provide
better support in cases where you are using Flex Builder for authoring ;-)

hth,

g

[Inspectable] is for component parameters, not code hints.

Thanks Jim,

AsDoc isn't what I'm looking for but its a nice little easter egg to find.
I wasn't aware of it.
- For the mailing list, ASDoc is a command-line tool that is used to create
HTML documentation from AS and MXML files. The HTML output looks very
similar to the Flex 2 or ActionScript 3 Language Reference.  -


I'll try posting on the flex coders list as well though I'm not doing any
Flex programming just using Flex Builder 2 to build my ActionScript classes
for Flash 9.

Thanks for your help,

Kalani
