    Find and Replace window problem

    jl2000 Community Member
      HI - when I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line.
      That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.

      Is there a Preference somewhere that I could set? Or is this post actually a "bug report"?

      Also - when I click on a result line, the relevant Actionscript window opens but the line is not highlighted. Is that the way this is supposed to be?

      TIA any input.

          Hi,

           

          I have the exact same issue using CS5 / AS3 / FP10. I'm searching for something in the code and I'm limited to how wide I can make the columns of the Find and Replace results... I can make them smaller, but I'd like to read more of info, so smaller doesn't help. Even if I make the Find and Replace window bigger, the max column width is the same. Clicking on one of the results will only take me to that layer within whichever movieclip, which isn't as nice as going to the exact line. I think the Compiler Errors window will take you to the line, which is pretty handy.

           

          I just wanted to throw that out there again. Wondering if anyone found a way to adjust the Find and Replace preferences?

           

          Thanks,
