For those out there who will stumble around as I did for a solution to apparently missing items in the code hinting context menus inside the Flash ActionScript editor, the answer is as you probably suspected–something simple.

If, for instance, you try to import a sub-package of the flash package and find yourself with only display, external, filters, geom, net, and text much like this:

The problem is that your ActionScript file is loading code hints for Actionscript 1.0 and 2.0. This problem would be very apparent to anyone who, unlike me, leaves the ActionScript editor’s built-in class and package browser open. For those who have closed this frame in order to save horizontal space might be at a loss for why their code hinting is incomplete.

The Fix

To fix this issue, just open the ActionScript class and package preview pane and select the proper version of ActionScript for the AS file.
