I want to disable dynamic types in AS3.0 Flash Builder 4. I hate it. Today I spend 30 minutes looking for a bug, when it turned out I typed lengHT instead of length. Apparently, AS3.0 dynamically created lenght which caused the problem. I want to have only static types enabled.
View 5 RepliesConsider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?
how i can combine these two tutorials to achieve a dynamic text from an external source that types itself.

Secondly can ne one turn this (attached file) into a movieclip in flash without loosing it's continous particallizing effect.
I was looking for the difference between the different content types in Flash CS3/CS4 - Browser/Screen Saver/Application etc - especially it's capabilities and limitations. Of interest are Standalone player and Application.

In the past I embedded several (with makers permission) youtube clips into a html web page (with the file stored on my server - mainly because I think it looks nicer). It worked fine. Now these were the old plain .flv low quality ones. But now I am trying to embed the newer higher quality youtube version, again, with the file stored on my server, and the embed code I used previously doesn't work. Now the new higher quality file is still called flv but it has a codec: mp4a
My old coding:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="704" height="546"
wmode="transparent" data="mediaplayer.swf?file=xxx.flv&autoStart=false ">
<param name="movie" value="mediaplayer.swf?file=xxx.flv&autoStart=fals e" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
A gentleman doing the sound track for the video I want to do on Flash has asked me what audio files Flash will handle?

The AS3 Reference says that...
ActionScript Code:

...won't compile because the object's base type isn't the same as the variable's declared base type (even though Sprite is a subclass of DisplayObject)But I tried the following which compiles fine:

var v:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
var a:Sprite = new Sprite();

I was just wondering if there are any problems that could arise from passing MouseEvents of different types (i.e. MouseEvent.CLICK or MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN) at different times to the same function? I've already built my project, and it seems to function fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not setting myself up for some problems in the future. I understand it's probably not the "cleanest" or "best practice" to construct my project in this manner, but if it works...
A simplified example:
PHP Code:
// This is the function that I want to call from varying places with different MouseEvents and triggered by different event listeners
function myFunctionA(evt:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Actually, in writing that, I may have answered my own question, because it seems that myFunctionA is simply expecting a MouseEvent... regardless if that event is CLICK or MOUSE_DOWN or MOUSE_UP event, right? Now, a MouseEvent.CLICK may have different properties than a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP that I can access within myFunctionA; however, that shouldn't matter to the function, or is my thinking flawed?

View 3 RepliesI would like to add a very small and simple Flash audio player to my website. I have found lots of Flash MP3 players, but I can't seem to find players that will work with other types of audio files, such as aac/m4a/mp4.
I had previously been using Windows Media Server to stream WMA files on my site, but this only works for Windows users, and I need streaming to work for Mac users as well. So I think Flash is the way to go, but I cannot use mp3's because of licensing concerns.
I've been looking and looking for a flash player that supports other audio types, but can't find one. Is it true that flash has a native class for mp3, but doesn't have built-in support for others?
I know that in C# when you pass an object (non primitive) to a method the following is true: A reference to the object is passed Changes made to the object in the method are reflected outside of the method. Also, you can pass a reference to a reference in C# e.g this.changeObject(ref myObject);, in which case: Changes to the object and also to the ref are reflected outside of the method e.g. myObject = new new List(); would change the passed objects referred location. Is this possible to do in Flex/Actionscript - can a ref keyword be used?
View 1 RepliesIn Flex, is it possible to listen to all event types of an object that's an IEventDispatcher? addEventListener's first parameter is the type, which is a string. In many cases the documentation is not clear what event type it fires. I'd like to attach a generic listener to inspect the events.
View 2 RepliesI recently came into a situation when sending a nested object from Java to Flex via a HashMap the Objects were null. More precisely:final Map< Integer, List<String>> tempMap = new HashMap<Integer, List<String>>();would send the keys as integers but the values were all null.But when sending the same with String keys:final Map<String, List<String>> tempMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();the objects came thru.Are there any restrictions in BlazeDS serialization when using complex types as keys?
View 1 Repliesi have a question that is almost like other questions but with a small but very important difference. how can i restrict file types for user with a popup showed in the browser.
The standard file input of html can limit that with a command but it does not work in all browser so it is not an option. I do not want to validate the file extension after the user has chosen a file but before that, when he is choosing.[URL].. but it uploads the file after the user has chosen it, i do not want to do that, i want to upload it after the user submits the form.
So the problem looks like this that there are some ways of not letting the user send a not valid file but they are not good because, one is that i validate after the user have chosen the file and the other is that i upload the file before the user submits the form.
I just want a simple thing to not letting to "chose" a not valid file, it does not matter if it will be made with java script or flash, just let it work.
If I have a flex component that is a general popup, it's basically just a white popup that I pass an Array named "modules" to.[code]...

Passing a complex type to PHP with AMFPHP 2. This 'sort of' works, sort of in that I can pass an AMF object to a service, and I can echo that object back to Flex/Flash, but I cannot access the contents of the object in PHP.

We get null. - Now I am assuming this is some sort of serialization I am missing, does anyone know what it is?
Edit - also worth noting when passing an Array to AMFPHP I have no problems accessing the data
