Display hidden characters

Characters such as spaces, tabs, and line breaks are hidden in ActionScript code. You may need to display these characters; for example, you must find and remove double-byte spaces that are not part of a string value, because they cause compiler errors.

  • From the panel menu  (at the upper-right corner of the Actions panel), Select Hidden Characters.

  • Press Control+Shift+8 (Windows) or Command+Shift+8 (Macintosh).

The following symbols are used to display hidden characters.
