I noticed recently in Flash CS6 my code hinting is only working sporadically. I am in the middle of editing an application and my code hinting appears to be working just fine. Then, for some unknown reason it suddenly stops. Is there a good explanation for this? In preferences, my code hinting box is ticked. And, i have increased the file size from the default 800 to a 1000. But, i am still having problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?  
Thank You
