The Action Script Editor checks the action script regarding to syntax errors

  • while typing

  • when closing the editor

Syntax error messages corresponding to an error indicated by a squiggly underline can be displayed by pressing Ctrl and moving the mouse pointer over the erroneous part of the statement.

Referencing, for example, a keyword of the xUML Action Language (create) as an object name, the Action Script Editor displays a syntax error message when the Action Script Editor attempts to close.
The message window shows line and column number of the error as well as additional information on the error. Within the Action Script Editor, the erroneous part of the action script statement is underlined by red squiggles.

Suggestion lists or warnings that pop up in the Action Script Editor can be closed by pressing Esc.

You can jump to the erroneous line using Code > Goto Line (or pressing Ctrl + Shift + G).

In the bottom right of the editor's window, the exact cursor position is indicated: <line>:<column> to help you find the exact position of the error.
