[Flashcoders] Intellisense in Eclipse with ASDT plugin
Hey, I know this has been asked before but i havent found a solution yet. What i would like to be able to do is type mx. press ctrl-space and have the list of packages available, etc. It seems to work for my own packages/classes in a particular project, but it cant see the core classes - this could be because eclipse cant lookup through linked folders. Either way, is this an eclipse thing, or an ASDT thing? btw, is there an explanation anywhere of how to actually compile the ASDT plugin? tia keith ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Intellisense in Eclipse with ASDT plugin
Keith, It's an ASDT configuration thingy. ;-) You need to set the global Flash class path location in Window-Preferences-ActionStep 2 -Core Path. If you have Flash 8 make sure to point it to the FP8 or FP7 directory, not the classes directory like it was in Flash MX 2004. If you are pointing to the mtasc/sdt/fp8 directory it doesn't include the mx package, so just keep that in mind. The mx package by default does not work with MTASC. There are too many little things that are off that Flash lets you get away with but MTASC doesn't. If you are dealing with the mx package a lot you can either use the -mx flag with MTASC or get the patch from here: http://osflash.org/mx_v2_components_patch I hope that helps. -Chris On 4/7/06, Keith Salisbury [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey, I know this has been asked before but i havent found a solution yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] Intellisense in Eclipse with ASDT plugin
OK so i've fixed it now, woohooo!! here is what i did. My ASDT Core path now points to FP8. In the FP8 folder i have created a symbolic link (http://alax.info/blog/category/utilities/ntfs-links/) that points to mx, and copied the toplevel.as in there too. (could do the same for FP7 if necessary) Now ASDT is aware of all packages, and all FP8 classes, and intellisense is working as expected cheers for your help chris!! keith On 4/7/06, Chris Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Keith, It's an ASDT configuration thingy. ;-) You need to set the global Flash class path location in Window-Preferences-ActionStep 2 -Core Path.
