editor autocomplete

[Azeem]

Hello,

When I'm declaring a variable, it seems IntelliSense kicks in and starts completing my variable name in actionscript which requires me to retype the variable name. Is there anyway around this?

Example:

var e:Event = new Event();

In this case, if I type e:, it gets transformed to Event: and then I've to backspace and fix it.

Thanks! - Azeem

This is in fact standard Visual Studio behaviour (I know because it drives me up the wall in C#). The good news is you can turn it off. There are several options for doing that. Either you can disable autocomplete when characters are typed (Tools/Options.Text Editor/ActionScript/IntelliSense) and uncheck Show completion list after character is typed. Or you can disable completion after specific chars (edit the list of completion characters in the dialog). Also, you may want to try setting the option Dismiss the completion list when a mismatch occurs. You should be able to tailor the way that completion works (and which items are shown in the list) by carefully adjusting the IntelliSense options.

Huw,

Thank you for the quick response. I never really noticed in C# - may be because of how I name my variables or something when I'm working in C#. Thanks for responding and explaining. It is much appreciated.
