Hello there,

My copy of Flash CS3 seems to have a problem with its Autoformatting. Whenever I press the button, it adds a semi-colon to the end of **every single line** (apart from the beginning of functions). Does anyone know why it would do this, and how to stop it?

Thanks in advance,

Alex D

P.S. There’s no problem with the Edit \> Preferences \> Auto format menu.
