Unlike the include directive, the import statement in ActionScript 2.0 requires a semi-colon at the end for code hints to work.
For example, without the semi-colon, code hints for the Accordion class is not displayed:
import mx.containers.Accordion
var ac:Accordion;
ac.
Code hints now work:
import mx.containers.Accordion;
var ac:Accordion;
ac.
Note that with or without the semi-colon, the class is still imported.

codes hint can be used with the others class (just like TDragDrop <==== i created myself)or not?
I have to re-open that class again and again for its properties and functions. I think that if flash editor can do that i will …….(^o^)/
I’d appreciate an answer to kakarin’s question as well.
Code hints for built in classes are nice, but it’s
frustrating that I can’t seem to turn them on for
my own classes.
The class is obviously being imported, since the
methods are called, verified by a trace statement-
what I wrote
import Kingdom;
var myKingdom:Kingdom;
myKingdom = new Kingdom();
myKingdom.dosomething();
In publish/settings and in document/prefs I added the classpath to the Kingdom.as file
There are 3rd-party editors that handle custom code-hinting. You can also create your own class code-hinting XML for the Flash IDE. Google is your friend.
