Strict Mode

[juresti]

Can I turn it OFF? Where is it?

[Guest]

Preferences -> Actionscript 3 Settings

I attached an image of what I see. I don't see anything to do with strict mode?

Sorry.

Publish Settings -> Flash -> Actionscript version [Actionscript 3.0] [Settings...]

I found it under Publish Settings. ugh. Been looking for it.

But why would you turn it off? Generally it is a good thing to have it turned on. Otherwise the compiler can't help you figure out what is wrong with your code. Unless you are going something like Tweetcode or sumpin'.

Well I've been having major issues and just trying to figure out the problem. Any I'm not a heavy programmer. I'll keep it in mind.

Really I was frustrated I couldn't find it. Everywhere I read it said it was in preferences.

Fun stuff!

That is kind of my point. If you are having troubles it is because something isn't right. If you turn that off then you still have the problems, just the compiler won't tell you. You need Strict mode more when you aren't as skilled and it really should only be turned off when you know exactly what you are doing and are turning it off for a very specific reason.
