Flash code hinting tip

This is another example of those little things that can be so helpful, even though they seem to be so simple. Daniel Dura shares with us this little tip about code hinting, and this is actually something I will use from now on.

Basically, when you want to see code hint for specific objects you need to use particular suffixes. For example, if you write ‘mymovie_mc’ it will trigger code hints for the MovieClip object. So, if you want to freely name your objects, add this line above your code:

//MovieClip mymovie;

That’s it! Just don’t forget the semicolon at the end.
