New .as files take a long time to get code completion

[ylazy]

Hi!

Whenever I create a new .as file, I have to wait ~30s until code completion starts working.

If I create files via the EXPLORER dialog, I only have to wait ~15 seconds instead of 30 seconds. But can it be faster?

The compiler must be having a difficult time parsing one or more of the AS3 files in your project. There must be something uncommon inside those files.

In the past, I have observed that Arrays initialized with hundreds of items between [ and ] could be noticeably slow to parse. However, I seem to recall that it affected the file that contained the array only, and other files were unaffected. It's been several years since I saw that behavior, though, so it might be something different.

Unfortunately, the only way that this can be solved is if you first narrow down which file (or files) is causing the issue.
