I don't recall about shortcuts for showing it (if so, they are usually ctrl+space or crl+j), but Flash 8 indeed had intellisense, rather limited and useless tho. You could only use it with built-in methods and classes, and in order to trigger you had to give special names to your variables, for example, ending a MovieClip instance name with "_mc".
I think, but don't fully recall, that you could also trigger the intellisense if you specified the variable type some lines before using it.
Anyway, as people say, Flash 8 is rather outdated, Flash CS5.5 is way better and has a more modern intellisense. I prefer using Flash Professional together with FlashDevelop tho.

I'm not a Flash guy, but it's in syllabus - so I need to learn while doing coding in ActionScript. I wonder: Does Flash 8 provide IntelliSense like Visual Studio does with
CTRL+SPACE? I know Flash has code completion for some functions - does it have a keyboard shortcut?
