Action Script - Spacing Peeve

[Osteel]

Hey everyone,

Ok so the other day while working on this game with my brother, I was action scripting some code. I had always wondered if it was possible to space out blocks of code, to make it easier on the eyes.

I dont know about you guys, but I find it very hard to read and code when all the code is blocked together. I sometimes use // to make spacing lines , but it still just annoys me (odd but true)

Anyways, while I was coding, I actually made a space in the line. No idea how, but I did. I dont know if it was a bug or if it was actually something I did.


So my question is, how do you make line spacing in your code. If its not possible , then I suppose my Flash is just messed up

Sorry about the stupid questions, blame it on my curiousity

EH?! Line spacing? Like...?:

code:

---

Line 1;

//<Space (Double spaced format)

Line 2;

---

Haha,

No , there wasnt even any comment // to space between two lines. It was a normal space like:

1
2

3
4

Oh. Ha ha ha...

I try to isolate my lines of code with gaps so I can find stuff easily, usually with a couple presses of enter. I never use the AutoFormat button, so it works fine for me.

[Osteel]

Haha,

I have a habit of always using the AutoFormat button. I guess I should , but doesnt it auto format your code if and when you test run the program?

If not , then Ill just break the habit and be happy

[OpethRockr55]

Nope. You could keep everything aligned to the right without indentation, put eighty spaces in between "x +=" and "2"; and it won't fix a thing.

lol, I don't know any programming language that doesn't ignore white space...

whitespace is significant in python

[Osteel]

Well then it makes me wonder how I got it to create a space. Even when I pushed the AutoFormat button, it didnt move everything up.

My Flash is possessed

whitespace is significant in python

And I don't know Python.

Maybe you could /* I know that if you use this it makes anything under it a comment and you end it with */.

[Osteel]

Haha!

Walsher, you are a genious. I didnt even think about doing that. Well I thank you since now my little pet peeve has been utterly destroyed.

I will be using this method when I code, it'll make things so much easier.

Thanks

Cool, I wasn't sure if that would work. It just kinda popped up in my mind when I read your post. I'll also have to remember this.
