What is Doc?

Doc? is a free desktop Application, made entirely in FLEX & AIR. Doc? allows you to view your Flash documentation outside of Flash. This enables you to view, search and bookmark your documentation a lot faster than you could with the built in Flash support.

    Plugins

    To make using Doc? even more pleasant, we created these plugins for Flash CS3/CS4 and Eclipse (3.2+)

    These plugins can be downloaded from our downloads page:

    You can also configure FlashDevelop to use Doc? as your AS3 help system. See below for instructions.

    Make sure you set the 'Listen to Flash plugin' in settings on.

    Flash CS3/CS4 plugin

     

     

    This plugin can be used in 2 ways:

    1. Use the panel (found under Window -> Other Panels -> Doc): Enter your search-term and click search
    2. Select something in the Actions window and select Commands -> Doc

    To install the plugin, simply execute the mxp file. You need the Adobe Extension Manager, which can be found at the Adobe site.
    The first time you execute the command, it will ask you for the location of Doc.exe / Doc.app. Select the appropriate folder and that's it!

    In stead of selecting Commands -> Doc, you can assign a hotkey to the command:

     

     

    Unfortunately, asigning F1 won't work since Flash has that hotkey hardcoded. F1 will always open FlashHelp, no matter what command you bind it to.

    Eclipse plugin

    You can also install a plugin for Eclipse. Since FlexBuilder is built on Eclipse, you can also use this plugin for Flex Builder. The supported versions are Eclipse 3.2+, which include FlexBuilder 3. (Possibly earlier versions work too. If they do, please let us know)

    To install the plugin, simply drag the .jar file into your plugins/ directory, which can be found in your Eclipse installation directory. When restarting Eclipse you will see a new menu on the top. The plugin can be used in two ways:

    1. Select the word you want to search for and hit Ctrl + 6 / Apple + 6
    2. Press Ctrl + 6 without selecting anything and enter your search-term in the dialog box.

    Just like with the Flash plugin, the first time you execute the plugin it will ask you for the location of Doc.exe / Doc.app. Simply select the appropriate folder and you're done! You can also change the shortcut from CTRL+6/Apple+6 to any hotkey of your choice by going to Preferences: General->Keys.

    FlashDevelop plugin

    You can make FlashDevelop use Doc? as following:

    • Open the program settings (Tools -> Program Settings or F10)
    • Open the AS3Context plugin settings
    • Edit the Documentation Command Line setting to contain the following:
              cmd;/c echo $(SelText)  > "C:\Path\To\Doc\F1.txt"
    • For example, if you have Doc? installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Doc\, that would become
              cmd;/c echo $(SelText)  > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Doc\F1.txt"

    Don't forget to enable the 'Listen for plugin' option in Doc?.
