The Game I'm Making Is Broke. How do I fix it?

is helping me make a game and now some buttons work and some don't and we don't know why. He says it's not properties or code. I thought that was everything there was in FlashPro. Now I am really confused. He says he's having trouble accessing the Objects but i can see them on screen. Can anyone help me?

he means class objects not the sprite instances on screen.
there should be a class viewer in the windows drop menu from the top bar.
i would have thought that jay would know where to find that though so maybe something else is wrong.

i open the class viewer for the object and it's empty for both the ones that work and the ones that don't.
there has to be a class somewhere but it's not registering it or it's set to block it's view by default for the compiler.
i seem to remember the older ones did have class declarations and the newer ones didn't and that ties in with which buttons are working but there's just no way to manipulate the classes without some sort of indication of what i'm doing.
i can't just blindly stab in the dark until something works, it'll take forever.
there has to be some sort of way of looking deeper into the software or code.
this ui is killing me. i can't get anything done without guesswork.

Flash isn't built for professional programmers. There's a lot going on under the hood they don't like the customers to see let alone tamper with. Most of the objects are hidden from view unless you use specific software, but it's expensive and although it's not illegal Adobe keeps making patches and newer versions to cancel out people from using them.

You can see the attributes on declaration but after that you're pretty much stabbing in the dark. If you don't know where you went wrong you might have to make a whole new project and start over.

fuck that and fuck you Adobe.

just because you want use to use your custom components.
if it comes to that I'm out. she can get someone else to handle it.
i was just trying to help a friend not get swallowed up in a world of shit.
why is it so damned difficult to do anything in this software.

the number of times i've had to start over because of some error in a component blocked from view is way too often.
you either learn to take the blows and never do anything to ambitious or you go mad trying to reach the sun.

classes should definitely be visible. maybe it's broke

no it depends on the studio.
they implemented classes before they had a way of managing them
MiaMon

you have to keep a record of which classes you make because you can't check after.
you're gonna have to start again sorry.
the class network is now tainted.
