ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Precise Object Class Type?
Apr 21, 2011This is probably a silly question buy how do I find out if an Actionscript Object is just an Object ,but NOT any subclass IE String bool etc?[code]...

Flash - Have Two Type Definitions - Determine If One Is A Base Type Of The Other?
Feb 20, 2011I have two type definitions (references of type Class) in ActionScript 3 and I need to figure out if one is a base type (class or interface) of the other.I had hoped something like the following would work, but alas it did not:
var isBaseClass:Boolean = MouseEvent is Event;
It is understandable why it doesn't, but it would still be nice. I can't use describeType either, since for objects of type Class it doesn't actually return the correct inheritance chain but rather just return the types Class and Object, which doesn't help at all. I can use getQualifiedSuperClassName in a loop until either there are no more super classes or there is a match, but it's less than ideal and doesn't work for type checking against interfaces.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Comparing Object Type By Only Knowing Class Name
Sep 12, 2011I am trying to find an object in the display list. All that is known, is the name of the class. I recursively iterate through every child in the display list to find my object's instance, and unfortunately everything was instantiated at runtime and was given a generic instance name. This videoplayer has around 300 children(ugh), and through trial and error I found my instance I need to get a hold of, instance60. Now it would be fine by using just the instance name, but the thought of it being called a different instance name would send this program into insanity.

Actionscript 3 :: Have A Dialog Box Type Object Held In An Array By The Main Class For Program?
Dec 7, 2011What happens when an object which has a function currently being executed has all its references removed?I want to have a dialog box type object held in an array by the main class for my program, and when the dialog needs to be closed, I want it to be removed from the array during that close-screen function. My question is, assuming the dialog box object is in all other ways eligible for garbage collection, what happens to the code it's supposed to be executing?
Edit for clarification:The array is a layer of visual elements in my program, of which the dialog box is one. The idea is that the "OK" button (or whatever) that closes the box will also remove it from the array of objects being displayed at the same time.

Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file).

Apr 21, 2011since the MXMLC compiler doesn't support mixed access modifiers for setters/getters, i would like to know whether a public setter function is being called from inside or outside of the setter's class. this approach should allow me to maintain a public property but with more security, something like public/private hybrid access. is it possible to use arguments' callee property, or perhaps something else, to determine whether the setter was set internally from the setter's class or if it was set externally?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine The X And Y Value Of An Object On The Stage
Mar 17, 2010i have a class called "Ball" that extends "AllSprites" which is a class that extends "Sprite". there is an addChild within the "Ball" class that adds a Sprite to the stage. when i run it like this, it successfully adds the object to the stage.
in my Main class i have
Code:
var ballOne:Ball = new Ball();
i am trying to get the x and y value of ballOne from within my Main class but if i try to do
Code:
trace(ballOne.x);
i get an error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property x through a reference with static type Ball.
how do i tell my code that the ballOne is a Sprite so i can get the x and y values?
also not working:

Actionscript 3 :: Recasting Member Of A Library Class To New Type In Extended Class?
Oct 14, 2010I created an flv video player using Flash Builder 4. This "BasicVideoPlayer" project is compiled into a SWC that will be eventually be used to create other video players that extend the functionality. One of the features is a view that appears when the video has finished playing that displays a "Play Again" button. This "Play Again" view has its own class, "BasicPlayAgain", that accepts a graphic asset that is exported from a .fla file that contains all of the graphic/UI assets.
In my new project, "EnhancedVideoPlayer", I'm using the BasicVideoPlayer SWC as a library to create a new video player that will add more functionality to the "Play Again" view; specifically it will add more buttons to that view.The EnhancedVideoPlayer uses a default class that extends the BasicVideoPlayer class. The BasicVideoPlayer class has a member called "playAgainScreen" whose type is BasicPlayAgain. The EnhancedVideoPlayer needs to override the playAgain member and recast it as EnhancedPlayAgain so it can control the new buttons properly.

Flex :: Determine Which Class Has Called A Function?
Apr 16, 2010I am working on a Flex Front End at the moment, and have been using the Parsley framework for passing messages/events around.
I was wondering if there is a simple way for a function (in this case, an event's constructor) to obtain a reference to the object which called it?
This is to ensure that a certain event that I am defining can only be dispatched by one specified class. My thinking is to check the caller of the constructor somehow, and throw an error if it is not of the correct type.
