Display and modify variable values

View and edit the values of variables and properties in the Variables panel.

View a variable value

  1. In the Variables panel, select the types of variables to display from the Panel menu.

    • Show Constants displays the values constants (variables having a fixed value).

    • Show Statics displays variables that belong to the class, rather than to instances of the class.

    • Show Inaccessible Member Variables displays variables that are not accessible to other classes or namespaces. This includes variables that are protected, private or internal to the namespace.

    • Show Additional Hexadecimal Display adds hexadecimal values wherever decimal values are displayed. This is mainly useful for color values. Hexadecimal values are not displayed for decimal values from 0 through 9.

    • Show Qualified Names displays variables types with both the package name and the class name.

  2. Expand the tree view of the object structure of the FLA until you see the variable to view.

Edit the value of a variable

  1. In the Variables panel, double click on the value of the variable.
  2. Enter the new value for the variable and press Enter. The new value is used during subsequent code execution.
