Finding Code in ActionScript window MX
There are so many commands etc. in ActionScript. Macromedia has put them all into little folders on the left side of the Actions window in MX.
However they sometimes aren't where you'd expect to find them.
I was wondering if there was anyway to search for the a specific command. For instance how would I find the onClipEvent?
It's not in the Object/Movie/MovieClip/Event folder where it should be?
It's not in the Actions/Movie Controlls folder.
How the heck can I find it?
Thanks

Switch to expert mode: it is alot faster to just type: "Math.cos() + Math.sin()" than it is to look for these methods (and the operator) in folders.

Thanks Tony,
Guess I should have added that the reason I wanted to be able to find code snippets was so I'd get the syntax right on stuff I'm not so familiar with. I usually use the expert mode but do use the normal mode to check the syntax and to find out how to structure the syntax.
Thanks again
