Question

I recently started working in FDT (used to work with FlashDevelop) and I encountered a very strange problem.

When I make a new project everything is fine, I can code without problem in as3 and also using the flixel engine is no problem.

However, as soon as I checkout a project from subversion, the code assist breaks.
The code still works, the program executes without errors.

But instead of giving me a few option when I type “FlxG.” it just gives me a lot of options regarding ‘metadata’.

I have looked at a lot of places but I can not find the answer anywhere.

I really hope there is someone out here who can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The issue here is that your source code (your .AS file) is not in a ‘source folder’. Notice how source folders are blue and the other folders are white? FDT only provides editor features, such as autocomplete & quick fixes, to .AS and .MXML files which are in source folders.

To get editor features for these files, either:

• Place the files in an existing source folder.
• Convert the generic folder into a source folder.
• Create a new source folder and place the files there.

See this video where I do all three of those.
