I tried several times, nothing changes.
So I just ues this one "…" to get ASCompletion compiled.
Is there a space " " before the "…" ?[/quote]
Yes but it' not really important - they just appear in the yellow tips to expand the information (using F1).

Upated

Very nice!

if you are on a mac, check out the Xcode Research Assistant, in case you haven't:

same concept and I can see OpenTheDoc taking this path, Brilliant!

Thank you for the link.
It inspires me a lot.

hold on a second!
The link is broken!

even a better one straight from the docs:

seriously that research assistant is super efficient worth the look.

Hello! I'm trying to use plugin with flash 10.0 reference from CS4 but it not work. I think it couldn't find xml of class contents. Can you advise me something?

1. Make FlashDevelop support Flash Player 10:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3039
if you use Flash CS4, the playerglobal.swc can be found in
X:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP10
and you need not the flexsdk.

2. Add this path to the DocPaths and set the Active DocPaths in settings:
X:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\AS3LCR\Flash_10.0

However OpenTheDoc can not work with Vector.<T> right now and this reference won't show up in Help Contents because it is lack of toc file.

No, you didn't understand. I configured FD to compile to FP 10 with mxml, but problem is in that Help Panel in Flash 8, CS 3 and earlier versions, uses help_toc.xml. But in CS 4 there's no Help Panel, so there's no help_toc.xml and plugin shows nothing.

P.S.: maybe it's only I don't have help_toc.xml?

I know there is not help_toc.xml with it,
so I mentioned that "this reference won't show up in Help Contents because it is lack of toc file",
but OpenTheDoc can still "find" the API (Ctrl+F1) because it's well organized.
(Actually, with well-organized documentation that without a toc file, OpenTheDoc just simply make up a URL)

Help Contents will support this kind of reference in the future.

Thanks, ordinaryj. It's useful plugin.

I'm trying OpenTheDoc out, and I'm having a few issues.

First of all, there is an error when ever I try to allow the plugin to take over the F1 key. Here is the text from the error:


Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at OpenTheDoc.PluginMain.HandleEvent(Object sender, NotifyEvent e, HandlingPriority prority)
at PluginCore.Managers.EventManager.DispatchEvent(Object sender, NotifyEvent e)


I am using a development build of FlashDevelop, so perhaps something changed in the FlashDevelop core since the plugin was first made.

Also, and perhaps this is for the same reasons, it always reports "No related topics found" when I try to use Ctrl+F1 to look up anything.

I have changed the Active DocPaths setting to include only one entry, which is set to 0. I have removed the other references under DocPaths, and entered the path to CS4's help files on my machine:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\AS3LCR\Flash_10.0

Are there any other things I should look for to help the plugin work correctly?

Thank you!

Yes, I have to complie it with the new svn code to make it work, and this one does not work with any beta version(9-) of FD3.

Oh, this is fantastic I just upgraded to CS4, pressed F1 in it and was completely amazed that they've taken out the help system! But this plugin + the old AS3 docs work even better Much faster, and I don't have to switch back to Flash when I need help

Thanks for making this!

great plugin, thank you
now i really can throw away my Flash IDE

a "bug" ?
when you pointing to none object/class it raise error
like flash.geom, it should open the document : flash/geom/package-detail.html

and is it possible to not to show the path at output (perhaps an option to chose)
also, when i select a node in "All Packages" it jump to node at "All Classes", its better to not jump over to experience better navigation


mind to share source? so that i can change it and add some feature to it

thankyou again

So it's really a bug. It seems because I get nothing in the older FD, neither a error nor infomation of a package.

Yes, it's better to have a choice.
It's in the TODO list already: Stay at the clicked node and jump to a more proper node when click the links.

It's also my plan to open the source , after clean up the mess and finish this version:
search ability
generate TOC file
and maybe a API viewer to replace the result panel if necessary.
Any idea?
