the "." is your current working directory. Code hint engine won't look in your current working directory if the "." is not there.

I recently had the same blue arrow problem when writing an .AS file.

After cursing for an our i noticed that I had an AS2 fla opened, and my .as was set to compile that fla, instead of the AS3 fla I wanted it to compile.

That was the problem.

What i did is simply select the correct fla on the drop down menu placed below the file flaps, and press ctrl+enter (compile).

Then the codehint worked perfect

For OSX:

Well, this worked for me (but I haven't the slightest idea why): I had folders with non-roman characters in the path to the .fla's folder. After extensive trial-and-error saving, I realized that the problem (in my case) was due to that, and now it works like a charm!

I tried this AFTER adding the project file cap line to the prefs file, and (again, NO IDEA why) files already saved to my computer on non-roman titled folders are working as well (files not saved in a MAC, but in a Windows computer - ANY file I save in a folder with non-roman characters on ANY of the folders in it's path doesn´t work, even if it is a blank file with just stop() on frame 1)

Hope this works for you!

I didn't realize that this path mentioned above does exist. It's just that OS X 10.7 hides the ~Library. I deleted the CodeModel folder under my Flash Application and it seemed to fix the code hints problem.

I have not tried deleting this ~Library CodeModel folder yet but if I encounter more code hint problems I will delete this CodeModel folder path shown below:

Hi, everyone!

Deleting "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\<language>\Configuration\CodeModel" subfolders worked for me!

Configuration: Flash Professional CS 5.5 PT_BR (11.5.1.349)  / Windows 7 - 64 bits
