ActionScript 3.0 :: Cast Error When Redispatching Event?
Aug 24, 2009
Can someone explain me why when I listen for a custom event and then redispath it it is redispatched as an Event instead of an object of custom event type ?
Exemple : You make un custom event, name it CustomEvent.
In a first class you dispatch an instance of this event and it is managed by a method in a second class, let's say this one :
[Code]...
I missed probably something in event dispatching process but I don't know what. However I found a solution : In the first event manager, dispatch a copy of the custom event received instead of dispatching the object itself. It works in this case.

Can someone clear up for me the theory behind the fact you can not redispatch custom event?I am talking about the situation where you get custom event (in your event handler method) and try to dispatch it again as it is - and you get the Error #1034: Type Coercion failed.example:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;[code].....

I've got a really weird problem that I've boiled down to its fundamentals, and I'm hoping that someone here smarter than I am knows why AS3 would be acting this way. Attached is a ZIP with a few FLAs and .AS files. I'm using Flash CS5. Please bear with me as I explain the situation.
I have a class called TestChildA:
package testing
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]...
For some reason, the fact that we're not trying to obtain a TestChildA reference allows the Frame 0 ActionScript in TestChildA.swf to execute properly. TestChildB, on the other hand, continues to fail Frame 0 execution since we're still getting a reference to it.
As we saw in the first version of the INIT handler above, querying the test_str variable out of the loaded content directly without trying to cast it worked fine. Why is it that using 'as' to get a specific reference to the content with the proper class results in the Frame 0 script of that content to fail running? Theoretically, the Frame 0 actions should have already been executed prior to reaching the INIT handler anyway, so it's doubly confusing.
If anyone has a better understanding than I of the ActionScript internals and can explain the reason for this issue,

I have an action script Object that contains an array collection of other object, both objects are reflects of the Java Objects which are the database tables represented as beans, i am using blazeds spring hibernate... the regular configurations for flex RIA with java backend server language, all other objects work perfectly, but this time i needed to get this data from the client side and i do, but when i get into the Set represented as array collection in client side i get this error! both classes work for other situations, mapping is ok for these classes, i suspect that i need to convert the array collection on the server side.

The problem is I get Error: Error #2094: Event dispatch recursion overflow. Why does removechild keep getting called if this.parent does not exist? Why doesn't removing event listeners work?

I've created some error handling for external images loaded via a path in XML. Within the Flash preview it's fine and shows the full error message (and most importantly, the URL that isn't loading).
But in the browser, even locally, it doesn't out put this message!
Here's my code:
function loadIOError(event:IOErrorEvent){
errorLog+=event.text+'
';
}

I have the code the following code:
in root frame I:
var prevSec:*;
var currentSec:*;
var lastPage:String = "Default/Index";
[Code]....
And it's not working ("canno't create property visible on String"). I understand that if finds the variable to be of String type.
What i need to do is based on the switch to set a certain movieclip to go visible false or true on frame 16. I need to know how to cast the String into MovieClip.

i have a list of items that get returned from a database. the list is composed of strings. what i need to do is convert each item into a variable so that i can use each item as an array.
for instance, my array will look something like this: deviceArray = ["osx106", "osx107", "winxp", "win7"];
what i want to do is turn each item into its own array. in AS2 (iirc) we had an eval() method. that is no longer supported in AS3.

I have 5 different arrays for a bunch of excercises, like so:
const oef1:Array = ["citroen","schoen","boek"];
const oef2:Array = ["huis","muis","jas"];
const oef3:Array = ["boek","koek","sok"];
const oef4:Array = ["ei","bij","bot"];
const oef5:Array = ["vier","mier","muur"];
Now I want to set the current game. I do this by copying the array, like so:
var curArr:Array;
var curExc:int = 1;
curArr = ("oef" + curExc) as Array;
I can't convince flash to accept the string ("oef"+curExc) as an Array. How do I do this?
I have searched Stack Overflow extensively but I think I simply don't know the correct lingo for what I'm looking for. It's the only possible reason I can think of why I can't find the answer here because I'm sure someone must have already tried this.

I have a variable in flash:[code]I then have a multidimensional array which has this variable name in it, but as a string.[code]What I need to do is be able to reference the string item in the array, but then cast it so that when I add a number to it the ACTUAL variable with the same name will be altered - anyone know how I can do this?For reasons I won't go into I can't pass it straight into the variable, it has to go through the multidimensional array item.

In my app i am pushing data into an array collection. When I debug or trace the AC i get [object Object].
public var newsDB:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
then I add to the AC here.
if(archive.selected == true){
newsDB.addItem( {
title: titleText.label,
clickURL: clickURL.text,

When I debug, i can see that the items are in the AC, but as generic objects.

Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.

Is it possible to cast a variable as a type dynamically, where the type would be a variable of type Class? Consider the following (invalid):
var myClass:Class = MyClass;
var myInstance:myClass = new myClass();
For context: I'm working in Flex (4) to create a modal manager that will control various aspects of creating modals (via PopUpManager) and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. Components would be passed through the same functions, and rather than allowing any type of variable to be cast, eg:
