View 4 RepliesI have a class called Animal that has a method foo() and I call it out within the Animal class.
Code:
protected function foo():void
{
trace("Animal");
}
I also have a class called Cat that extends Animal and overrides the method foo()
Code:
override protected function foo():void
{
trace("Cat");
}
However when calling the function foo() from the superclass it traces out Animal not Cat (using a Cat object).How can I make superclass call out methods in the subclass?

getUser was already in UserService.java. I just created getUser2 and it's identical to getUser. When I try to call getUser2, i get the "Cannot invoke method" error. question: Do I need to specify getUser2 in some other file? like in some configuration file? if so, which one and how do I do it.
Is there a way to get a method's parameters from outside the method? I know that there's an "arguments" property but it's only accessable from within the method. I'm working on a RPC system and need to store the method parameter types in a hash table for easy access later on.

yet this doesn't, I'd expect it to: construct, start mooing, moo!, moo!, moo!, ...yet the moo! moo! moo! doesn't appear, as if moo() never gets called it all.
OK, from what I know actionscript in Flex runs asynchronously. I need the ability to run a method in a loop synchronously. Consider this code:

This is not my exact situation as it is a bit more complicated to explain here. There is an abstract class and several custom view objects derived from it. Some of the views are dependent on others being completed first but I cannot seem to order them in the correct order. TIMERS are not an option. Probably not explaining this correctly.
How can I access the "draw" method from the "startDrawing" method below, why is the trace ouput for this code:
Drawing Started
undefined
Drawing Stopped
And once that is solved will the "draw" method be able to call the pen.makeMark method as attempted?

View 1 RepliesI use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
I have a dynamic Class and what I would like to do is call a method everytime a property is appended to the class during run-time.

what is the most useless function in flash? one that can be used as a dummy code within a function. say for frameworking your code before making it. the best i can come up with is trace, but im looking for something less intrusive.

trace('megaBall '+ lv +' fired');}
I'm making a quiz game where I need to send information about the player's score and other variables from Flash to a PHP page whlie opening the PHP page in a browser. I want to use POST so the variables don't show in the address line of the browser.
My code looks like:
Code:
highScoreEntryPath = ("register.php");
highScoreEntryRequest = new URLRequest(highScoreEntryPath);
highScoreEntryRequest.data = setHighScoreStats;
highScoreEntryRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST

but that doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong?? If it's not possible to use navigateToURL like this, how else can I open a page in a browser and send variables along by POST?
