Code hints

In Flash MX 2004, some of the component code hints are not listed in AsCodeHints.xml or UIComponents.xml. As a result, what used to be a common thing to do in MX by using code hints such as _cb for ComboBox, does not work now.

Well, there are two solutions:

1) Add you own code hints information to the two files mentioned above.

2) Reference the component class in your code:

var sp:mx.containers.ScrollPane;

Now when you type sp. the list of ScrollPane methods and property is displayed!
