I’m using flash 8 and wondering about the object helpers. I see there is a button “enable code hints”, but it does not seem to do much.

I’ve used Visual Studio .NET. In VS2006 when you press “.” on an object or type a lot of methods come up. This is very helpful. I was wondering if flash 8 has any ability to better see object / class methods? Perhaps it offers this feature and i’m just missing it?

i.e. I’ve dragged a List Component onto my stage. I don’t know where to go to see what methods I can use with this object?

any help appriciated. thx.
