Flex Tip: Use CTRL + SPACE for code completion
October 25th, 2006
When you’re typing the name of a variable or class, just type a few letters and press CTRL+SPACE. One of the following three things will happen:
- FlexBuilder will display a list of possible matches. You can then use the arrow keys to find the variable or class you were looking for and press ENTER to auto-complete.
- FlexBuilder will auto-complete the name if there is only one possible match.
- You’ll hear a beep and nothing will happen. This means that your variable is not defined or the class you’re looking for isn’t in the build path of the project.
Try to avoid manually typing things that can be auto-completed and you’ll almost never make a typo.
Did I mention that I love Flex?

In the summer of 2000 I started telling people that the Flash platform was the future of Web-based software. Six years later and after the release of Flex 2, I think people are finally starting to listen. If you’re one of those people, please treat this site as a resource for learning about Flex development or to find out how I can help you with projects you’re working on.
Thanks for stopping by!
