ActionScript 3.0 :: Static Function Can't Find Non-static Functions
Jan 6, 2010Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

Actionscript 3 :: Get/set Functions On Static Properties?
Feb 7, 2012I am using get/set functions to make variables that are (or appear to be) read only. I can get it to work with instance variables, but not static variables. I found this, which seems to indicate that it's possible to use get/set functions on static properties, but the compiler keeps telling me I have duplicate function declarations. This is essentially what I'm using:
package {
public class Foo {
protected static var bar:int = 0;
public static function get bar():int {return bar;}
}
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Interfaces And Static Functions?

View 8 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Calling Static Functions That Don't Exist
Nov 16, 2010I'd like to have a class that will resolve calls to static functions that don't exist.If you have an object that subclasses the Proxy class, you can override the callProperty() method to catch calls to functions, as properties of that object, that don't exist.How can this be done with static function calls in a class? It cannot be done by making the overridden callProperty() method static. Is there another way?
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Design - Static Functions Or Events?
Feb 1, 2011I'm working with an application which was originally designed to make heavy use of static-variables and functions to impose singleton-style access to objects. I've been utilizing Parsley to break apart some of the coupling in this project, and I'd like to start chiseling away at the use of static functions. I will explain the basic architecture first, and then I'll ask my questions. Within this application exists a static utility which sends/receives HTTP requests. When a component wishes to request data via HTTP, it invokes a static function in this class: Utility.fetchUrl(url, parameters, successHandler, errorHandler); This function calls another static function in a tracking component which monitors how long requests take, how many are sent, etc. The invocation looks very similar in the utility class:

Xml :: Structure Classes To Avoid Using Static Functions?
Nov 16, 2011I have a Flash application that creates a sort of powerpoint presentation. All the 'slides' are stored in an XML files which is read and processed.
I'm trying to build the presentation using this XML file. At the moment, my main class has it's initial function main and a static function processXML main initiates my database class with a function called initDB. One of my issues is that initDB forgoes processing because it's dependant on an event listener. On completion of loading the XML files, the event listener initiates my static function on my main to create objects from this file.
The issue is that because the event listener continues the processing (after an indeterminate amount of time), the functions are no longer controlled by the main class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Static Stop/Play Functions?
Jan 26, 2012Let's say I would want to use the frameScript method to add some stop and play methods to some frames.
Normally I would declare the stop function:
[Code].....
My question is, how can I create the same $FUN_FrameStop as a static function?
Static functions do not allow the use of this since static members are bound to a class and are not inherited by that class' instances.
So, is there a way to create a function similar to $FUN_FrameStop, but static?

Feb 7, 2012To rephrase my question: if you have a class with a bunch of static methods and you use one of them in your code, does the whole class get compiled with your movie? I suspect that it would be and, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better (from a file-size perspective) to use packaged functions instead?

Mar 22, 2012I'm wondering if anyone has experience with if there is a big difference in performance in ActionScript 3 between keeping a class with only public static functions, and utilizing those functions often (as in a frame event at 30fps), and in turning the class into a "normal" class of which I instead make an instance and call the functions via the instance instead.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Why To Delegate / When Can Apply
Feb 16, 2007What is the advantage of using a Delegate class in as2? I realize that it's old news for as3 guys. But Ive got a medium sized as2 project and Im going through my code and wondering why Im using Delegate.create sometimes. What's wrong with "apply"?I admit that I must have jumped on the Delegate bandwagon without thinking anything more than "dhuu...thats what the pros must be using".Am I right in saying that there is nothing at all wrong with simply saying "function_name.apply( this, args )"? Or am I missing something? Is it a matter of memory management? I've done a lot of research on delegation and read all kinds of blogs and scripts from little tweeks to the official.. to >200 lines. Yikes! At the end of the day I wrote my own little delegate class that worked for me (just a rewrite of Proxy without loops). But now that I go though my code I see that I might as well have just used apply because that's all Im doing with it!
Id like to be a better programmer. What am I missing and why shouldn't I do a find and replace here. Why is it better to wrap up "apply"? Will I be better readied to learn other languages?I just don't understand why I was so convinced that I needed the delegate class when I had "apply" out of the box.

ActionScript 3.0 :: When To Use Delegate/ Dispatcher/ Listener
Jan 29, 2011I have a ColorPicker Component and I want to (on its CHANGE EVENT) have the LISTENER OBJECT ( known as A) change ANOTHER OBJECT's (known as B) color, based on the ColorPicker's.selectedColor. I do this because i need OBJECT A to keep track of the colors used. Also OBJECT B is dynamic and its instance is based on USER INTERACTION thus B can equal B1 or B2 or C based on mouse click at any given time but must only be 1 at any given time. SO I'm trying to "chain" the events together using listeners/ or delegation but I'm not sure at the logic.how do i reference the objects in the event? should I just try to chain B to listen directly to the event? How can I do this without having to attach listers to the colorpicker every time?

Aug 14, 2007when i'm coding directly on the timeline, i usually create a var like this:
Code:
var home:MovieClip = this;
so i always have something to reference the main timeline's scope. how could i do this in a class? delegate.create gets a little confusing.
i tried a few things like the following:
Code:
class com.myClass
{
public var className:String = "myClass";
public static var version:String = "0.0.1";

of course this is redundant because it'll scope just fine as parseNews();, but i'm just wondering why it's letting me scope it like this here and not in the onLoad declaration?

what is the correct/best way to reference these functions so that they can be called from within the panel and/or chooser classes. i am still too much in the old thinking that a function belongs to a movieclip and can functions with _parent. i need to learn the proper way now.
