ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Constants Be Compiled Inline
Oct 16, 2011
I just found out that it is executed like a normal variable at runtime. Typically constants are supposed to be 'inlined'........ so when you write this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
...you should get this in the SWF:
ActionScript Code:
o.x += 5;
...but when I decompile my SWF I get this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
Is there a way to force the Flex compiler to inline constants in AS3?

I compiled a simple AS3 project using Flex 3.5 (also tried Flex 4.1) to create a small swf which draws a simple red square on screen. Nothing too complex that requires special flashplayer support (see code below)
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
/**
[Code]....
and tried to load it into a AS2 swf I have compiled using Flash CS4. But that just didn't work. I don't get any errors when loading and the AS2 swf can load any swf, either compiled in AS2 or AS3 by Flash.

I am working on a feature for an application that requires Flex 4 functionality. Due to some migration issues of the application from Flex 3.5 to 4.0, I have decided to implement this feature as a module that is compiled with Flex 4.0. The theory is that the application would remain compiled in Flex 3.5 and load the module when it needs it.[code]

Just wondering if there is a way to read class static constants from a SWF file server side. I have found things like getimagesize() but it doesn't have all these details. I guess that means I need a partial decompiler.Specifically, I have this class in my Flex project:
package
{
public class AppVersion

How can I have a constant in a Flex application which I could apply at several places in a Flex CSS file? For example I may have a background color which is the same in several UI components and then I would like to have this color set in only one place and reused in all style clauses. Something like ...
public static const myColor = "#00FF00"...
component1 {
backgroundColor: myColor
}
component2 {
backgroundColor: myColor
}

Basically I want to call a const by a int. Here is the code I have so far...
public static const _100:String = "name=lion legs*type=legs";
public static const _101:String = "name=lion tail*type=tail";
public static const _200:String = "name=tiger legs*type=legs";
///more lines going down with the number on the far left being the main differentiating factor
public static function getByName(name:int):String {
[Code] .....
Is there a better way out there to call the constants by an outside int without having a switch function handle the logic?

i can write constants in two ways:
MouseEvent.CLICK - "click"
MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER - "rollOver"
TextFieldAutoAlign.LEFT - "left"
etc.Is there any difference between the two ways of writing?

I want to create a function pointer object:
private var func:Object = { Class.Constant: function };
What is the clean way of doing this? I did the above and got
Error: Syntax error: expecting colon before dot.
And I'm not even sure that's right. The goal is that I can just do
func[ Constants ]();

How can I get the ord values of certain keys. Say if I want a function to run when the left arrow key is pressed or right arrow key. Or is there a constants list?

How do you go about creating a Class that just holds constants such as the StageScaleMode or StageAlign classes. I tried just making a class with just public static constants and an empty contractor but I get errors.

I am working on a Flash site template for which I am implementing the possibility for the users to change the theme dynamically while the site is opened.Basically, the site will have a few themes available and when the user selects a new theme, all of the site objects will change their properties (colors, alpha, fonts, etc) to fit the new theme.
And my questions is what is the best approach to sending the theme information to all of the objects in the site.I was thinking of making a static class called "Theme" and when the objects need a property, they will call a static getter of the Theme class that will return the appropriate property value for the object.But, from my understanding, static properties are quite slow and seeing that I may need quite a lot of them, maybe more that 100 for the whole site, will this approach be too slow ?

We have a project that has been built in Flash and as3. It is a video player of sorts that we want to fully customize. We have different images and color schemes that we want to be able to change very quickly. Right now we have config constants that we turn on and off for different schemes. And in the code there is a massive amount of different spots where the images and such are changed.When we create a new color scheme or whatever, we need to create a new config. Then we have to go through all of the code and put it in correctly.Basically any suggestions for how we can take the current flash project (maybe flex?) and make it customizable a lot quicker.

I am trying to set some public static constants on a class conditionally by passing variables to the compiler e.g. -define=CONFIG::ENVIRONMENT,'testing_server'
[Code]...
Obviously this means I have to tinker with long command line setting each time. I thought my initial approach was possible given the documentation and various tutorials I have read.

Say you have a web application that has a lot of business rules built around if-then comparison of String constants. These are used on both client-side and backend code, and at the moment are hard-coded badly throughout both places with lots of duplication and sometimes errors. What's a sensible way to refactor them out? Unfortunately, in most cases they must exist as using polymorphism would be much more hideous. Anything specific for flex/java? Is there an easy way to keep all those constants in one place and compile it into both client and server code?
Edit: I'm really looking for a way to share string constants between flex and java with compile-time checking of everything.

I would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?

I have some code from a CS3 app composed of the .FLA file with an .AS file for the class that had definitions for two private classes in it. Yesterday I brought the files into CS4 and noticed that they did not compile. Gives an 1120, access of undefined property and names a constant. I have reduced this problem down to bare bones and it still occurs, so it is a bug in CS4.

How do you use config constants with values other than true or false? The only documentation examples I've found uses the syntax:
ActionScript Code:
CONFIG::CONSTANT_NAME {
//do stuff
}
But what if the constant is set to a value like "hello"? How can I set a block of code to only compile if the constant is set to "hello" but not "goodbye"? I tried:
ActionScript Code:
CONFIG::CONSTANT_NAME == "hello" {
}

I have a class that holds some constants and will receive an object literal (associative array) with some data like this:
var ConfigObj:Config = new Config({
"Some" : 10,
"Other" : 3,
"Another" : 5
});
The class looks like this:
public dynamic class Config
{
static public const SomeProperty:String = "Some";[code].....

Flash UI Components have many different styles to set, which require passing a string name to the setter method.while this certainly is not challenging, the use of a constants class would be beneficial but i can't find one.is there no constants class available with all of the possible style settings?

I've defined two classes, one of which extends the other. The superclass defines a constant and I can't seem to access it through the subclass.
Code:
public class BigClass
{
public static const BIG_CLASS_CONSTANT:String = "Hi Mom.";
[Code]....
Shouldn't polymorphism allow a subclass to access constants of the classes they extend? Does the subclass have to reference the parent constant in some other way than a simple extension? Do I actually have to declare that constant in each and every class that decided to extend from that parent (but then how would the parent refer to it?)? Or (and this is the most likely) is there something completely different that I'm missing?

I'd like to make an object that has it's properties named by constants from another class but can't quite get it to work. I'd essentially like to do something like this:
var myObject:Object = {Event.OPEN:"value", Event.COMPLETE:"value2"};

I opened up FB3 today, without making any changes, I press F11 and now I am getting this error that I never have gotten before: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable CaratPicker2_inlineComponent1 is not defined.
I find it strange I am getting this error everytime now, when I never got it before and I didn't make any changes before I started getting it. Anyways it is coming from line 78 which is <mx:Component> the start of an inline item renderer.
So any ideas how or why this error is being thrown? I have never seen an error like this before and the message isn't very clear to me as to what the issue is.
