View 3 Repliesi'm working on converting an Action Sript class to C# and now i'm choosing a proper data types to replace ActionScript data Types ... and i wondered what is the best C# datatype to replace the Dictionary Datatype in Actionscript here's a sample code for example
public static const db:String = "http://dbpedia.org/resource/";
public static const rdf:String = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
public static const skos:String = "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#";
[Code].....
so as my title says. I'm wondering if specifying the datatype in actionscript 3 on variables actually makes code run faster

How do I get the datatype of a variable? In this case it is pretty obvious, but I am trying to make a substitute for function overloading in a class.
I've imported a .mov file into my flash file. If I want to control that object via AS, what datatype is an embedded video?
View 5 Repliesbasically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

Has anyone implemented a Set class in ActionScript? Specifically, a Set which is similar to Python's set implementation (unordered, unique, O(1) membership, etc). I'd like to be able to iterate over it using for each, perform operations like union and intersection and get a list of all the contained items... Which would all be possible to implement using Dictionary and Proxy, but I'd rather not reimplement it if someone's already done the heavy lifting.

View 3 RepliesThrough an XMLSocket, I get a basic datatype as a String value, such as "int", "String", "Array", etc... I would like to instantiate a new variable of the specified datatype. Something along the lines of the following psuedocode:
Code:
function createVariable(type:String, value:*):void
{
var dataTypeRef:* = getDataTypeRef( type ); [code]......
The title of this post may not make much sense, let me explain. I have a function:
findSurface(origin:Point, vector:Point, attempts:Number):Point The function has an obscure use, but the idea is thus: given those three arguments, returns a point IF the 'line' (created by the origin and vector arguments) intersects the object the function is called on. [but that is another story...]
More importantly, if there is no point of intersection at all, what should the function return? Void? Null? Undefined? Object? Or can I use one of those return types instead of Point incase the function does not encounter an intersection?
is there a way to convert dynamicly?
that's the default way to convert a String:
var toVal:* = int("5");
var toVal:* = Boolean("true");
but I wan't to do this:
var type:String = "int";
var toVal:* = type("5"); // <<<<< how can I do this
is there a method to return the datatype of a variable?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];
var theString:String = "I am string";
trace(gettype(theArray));
// In php gettype() is what I use to get the type. Is there a similar function in as3?
How exactly does the datatype checking of Vector work? The documentation states that an exception occurs at runtime if there was a wrong argument pushed to the Vector. However if I try this:
Code:
private var numberVector:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
...
numberVector.push(thumbnailInstance)
And then I trace it, I get NaN (cos it is a thumbnail ). However, no exception is being thrown.
What's happening in this simple piece of AS3 code? Why does my object change from TextField to the more generic DisplayObject?
public class Menu extends MovieClip
{
private var active_button:SimpleButton;
public function Menu()
{

This question is simliar to [URL].. I'm posting this because its more focused and deals with a single aspect of the broader issue.

It's reporting a warning,so what's the standard way to do this?

I have imported a jpeg into Flash CS3 IDE Library and Exported(Linkage) it to be used in action script by giving a class name 'Image'. And when I am trying to compile the file its showing error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. and 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Image to an unrelated type flash.display:Bitmap.

View 1 RepliesI've got two different domains and both of them direct to the same website. This website has a menu on top made in Flash (the rest is HTML, so the page must be reloaded everytime I click on an option or I need new content).
But this Flash movie has to show a different animation depending on the URL.
What can I do to find out the current URL in ActionScript?
