Hidden API’s in Flex

Filed under: ActionScript, Flex — Anthony @ 11:05 am

I have recently been doing a lot of searching around inside the Flex Components and I have come accross some interesting imports / classes that don't appear to be in the API documents. However there are a few good sites out there that have started documenting these API's trying to work out there usages.

The one i have been using most often is

The Flex Non-Docs

However I have also found a few imports that are documented but that don't provide the ability to use auto complete or allow you to import them automatically

for example

mx.utils.DescribeTypeCacheRecord and mx.utils.DescribeTypeCache

If anyone knows how to actively stop code hinting for class's and would like to share that would be great!
