ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Player 10.1.85.3 - If The Object Is Not Found In The Dictionary Object, It Will Be Searched For In The Delegate Objects?
Oct 29, 2010
I am encountering a problem in my app only when it is run in flash player 10.1.85.3. Some earlier player versions I have tried are working fine.From what I can tell it seems related to the following:

When searching for objects (not strings) in Dictionary objects using the 'in' operator, if the object is not found in the Dictionary object, it will be searched for in the delegate objects. With 10.1, the toString operator will be called on the Object if not found in the Dictionary. This can cause problems with Proxy objects who need to define the callProperty function or it will generate a RTE. ...what it means "it will be searched for in the delegate objects"?
So I am writing a program which uses Dictionary to store objects. For example
var dictionary:Dictionary=new Dictionary(); var myObject = new myObject(var1, var2, var3); dicionary["key"]=myObject;
where var1, var2, and var3 are simply means of assigning values to variables in myObject.can I access values or functions that are found in myObject? In myObject class I have some getters and setters. Can I use a getter to get the value of var1 for example.
In one of the classes in my Flex application I have a dictionary, which is periodically updated from other parts of the application. It contains some sort of user preferences and I want to keep it in sync with a local shared object - the dictionary needs to be read during the class initialization and saved to the local storage when an element is changed, added or deleted.
The "Dictionary" object inherits only "Object" and does not have a change event - like the "collectionChange" in ArrayCollection. So I can't sync the dictionary just by listening for an event and manipulating the shared object in the event handler. The other possible solution would be to make the dictionary private and manipulate it using special methods in my class. Something like:
public function setValue(key:String, value:String):void public function getValue(key:String):String public function delValue(key:String):void
But using bindings will become a real nightmare and I will have to make changes in many other parts of the application.
I'm often seeing others using a Dictionary object in their AS3 code that simply maps objects by String keys and wondering if there is any advantage at all of using a Dictionary over a simple Object if String keys are used. Anyone know any details on this? I would suppose that since an Object is more lightweight it should be faster and preferable over a Dictionary if used with String keys.
What exactly is the difference between an object and a dictionary in Actionscript?
var obj:Object = new Object(); obj.something = "something"; var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); dict.something = "something"; trace(obj.something, dict.something);
Any good argument as to why I shouldn't use a Dictionary over an Object every single time? I can't think of any case an Object can do the job a Dictionary can't, and it doesn't seem as the Dictionary creates that much more overhead.
My project is a visual way to represent a database of information about books. It will be represented as a collection of menus and submenus. From one menu, the user will be able to access another, from the other the third.Each item in a menu has some content, so the menus themselves are not a means to an end (to execute commands), but a goal in themselves. Viewing them, and browsing between them is the essence of the project.
The simplest way to organize a menu of items would be a dictionary object containing all its members.However, it is not really good for a complex set of menus and sub-menus which is a web of information linked between another.
Inside the attached .rar Two seperate objects are made, object A and object B, but they share the same variable (only works with arrays) even though they aren't linked in any way. Any changes made to A is reflected in B, and vise versa.
How would I go about fixing this issue? (SIMPLY, aka I don't want to write a class or whatever, I just want to know if I am doing something wrong, like not writing new or something)
whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?
I have this situation where i'm trying to save "chat logs" while people switch around views in my flex mobile application..so, my plan is i'm starting out with a main object that I plan to re-use as the main chat log object..I call it textObjso, when someone new wants to chat my plan is to make a new object with the persons username.so how if i were to get the username from something like data.username how could I translate that into the var name of the object I want to make? So in the end i end up with.[code]
Our flex project, which works fine in its current environment with coldfusion 7 single server. We moved this project to Coldfusion 8 multi server, and updated the remoteobject paths relative to the web root.
The error we now receive is faultCode:Server.Processing faultString:'Unable to invoke CFC - Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface myProject.cf.main.' faultDetail:'For details, turn on Robust Exception Information in the ColdFusion Administrator' The path to the cfc's from the webroot is is myProject/cf/main.cfc ...
I'm trying to save an object to a shared object, the thing is that while i run it the first time it works perfectly, but as soon as the swf is closed and re-opened my object just disappears.If I'm not wrong this is because it's a custom class instance and the .data saves a reference to the object instead of the object which is deleted as soon as the program closes.My question is:I've tried saving each var in a different data.[something], having to save five variables might not be bad but what about twenty or more.
I'm trying to attach a single NetStream Object to two separate Video objects instead of pulling redundant streams from the server. The expected behavior would be for both Video's to display the same content. However, it seems that the last video I attach the NetStream to is the only Video that will display the content.Has anyone else run into this? I'd rather not go to the inelegant steps of using BitmapData to clone pixels if I don't have to.
I'm trying to develop something for Flash 5 Player and nothing seems to work. Currently I'm having trouble with the following bit of AS which works fine if I export for Flash 6. But in Flash 5...no sound. Is there a specific way an mp3 needs to be encoded for Flash 5 or does it not even accept mp3s?
What i'm trying to do is creating an array of objects, little squares that are positioned in a grid with coordinates and when i click on the coordinates i need to select only the elements which fit with the value. So, what i'm trying to do now is to pass a value to each element of the array but it doesn't work:
since updating my Flash Player plugin from 10 to 10.1, I'm seeing a weird crash when accessing shared objects. Flex Builder's debugger pops up and prints a stack trace like this:
undefined at flash.net::SharedObject$/getLocal() at my.code::MyClass$/load()[/my/path/to/my/MyClass.as:27] (...)
This happens when calling SharedObject.getLocal("someString") for the second time for the same string, though it doesn't always crash. When using another browser on the same machine (not configured as the preferred debugging browser in Flex Builder), Flash Player remains silent. The code is wrapped in a try/catch(Error) block which does not catch this error. I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 and Flex Builder 3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.
So I made few text fields on the stage and launched the movie.It appears that when I turn on the "Show redraw regions" and try to click on the text field it shows it's redrawed.When is set the mouseEnabled property for this text field to false and try to click on the text field it doesn't show it's being redrawed.
So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
I'm creating a new look for the xspf player: [URL]The playlist highlights the current song being played. I'd like to change the color but can't find where that option is listed in the .flv file, or in the actionscript file.
I was thinking about Flash GC the other day and came up with a question about how reference counting would work in the following 4 class scenario (assume GuiMain is the movie's document class):
I am using CS4 with AS 3.0... I want to implement both a freeware photo flash gallery and mp3 audio player that I found into my all-Flash website. Both of these require reading from an xml file to get their content. They both come with html embedding instructions, but I don't know about actionscript.
I am working on a native extension for Flash. I am going to invoke my native methods from Flash and pass Dictionary objects where those objects have various data members of various data types. These property types are dynamic and might not be known at compile time.So I found that we have a method called FREGetObjectProperty that says it can return the value given the property name. But in this case since we dont know the property name since it is dynamic, how to extract the property names and values from the Dictionary objects?

I've got a php backend which delivers a time (e.g. '07:00:00'). This time is recognized as a string but I need it as a Date. So what I need is: Convert a string '07:00:00' to a Flex Date object. Is there a way to do this (without using regular expressions)?
