flex/ actionscript comments

Question

cannot get the comments to show in actionscript file when running asdoc.. is this a known bug?

[Bindable]
/** test comment */
public var currentSearchTextValue:String;

does not show anything in the generated documentation... am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Although I don't see anything wrong here, I would follow the ASDOC best practices - putting the comments in separate line with a preceding asterisk as suggested here and see if that works.

[Bindable]
/**
* Test comment
*/
public var currentSearchTextValue:String;

Answer 2

I am having the same issue and have posted a detailed question here. no answers yet.

One workaround is to use an event name along with the Bindable tag

[Bindable("someEvent")]
/*
* asdoc comment
* */
public var currentSearchTextValue:String;

but this wud require u to dispatch "someEvent" manually to get binding work. So u might wanna use this for generating asdoc alone and change it back to the older version afterwards.

Answer 3

[Bindable] actually generates code that wraps the property, so it might not be possible. Try moving [Bindable] to after your comments, but failing that you might be out of luck I'm afraid.
