a dynamic data class
a dynamic data class via getter/setter

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Copy Bitmap Data And Store As Global Variable
Jun 27, 2010I am having problem to recall the copied bitmap data to show on another private function which is difference from the private function which copy the bitmap process. I am new in AS3 so have no idea how do I make the copied bitmap data into a global variable..
Heres my snippet of code:-
private function export():void {
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(216.2, 468.29);
var a_matrix : Matrix = new Matrix() ;
a_matrix.translate(-242,-130);
bmd.draw(stage,a_matrix);

This is the problem I am facing, I need to separate the copying process and showing process because I want my flash to show the copied image later on...
Actionscript 3 :: What Is An Alternative To Flash Config Constants
Apr 5, 2012We have a project that has been built in Flash and as3. It is a video player of sorts that we want to fully customize. We have different images and color schemes that we want to be able to change very quickly. Right now we have config constants that we turn on and off for different schemes. And in the code there is a massive amount of different spots where the images and such are changed.When we create a new color scheme or whatever, we need to create a new config. Then we have to go through all of the code and put it in correctly.Basically any suggestions for how we can take the current flash project (maybe flex?) and make it customizable a lot quicker.

Nov 13, 2011I would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?

Jan 17, 2012If I make multiple draw calls for various Program3D instances, is there a way that I can reset or nullify the constants if I'm no longer using them in the next following Program3D assignment?

Flash :: SWC Files Be Created In DEBUG Version By Using Conditional Compilation Constants?
Nov 8, 2011Is there a way to compile SWC files in different targets (Debug vs. Release) similarly how you can compile a SWF file with the AS3 Conditional Compiler constants?
This link shows how SWF files can be compiled with predefined compiler constants:[URL]..
But I need to know how to achieve this with SWC files instead.
Note: I'm using FlashDevelop (Windows 7) to create the SWC (if that's any help to refine the answer).

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash "Compile Time" Constants?
May 16, 2010I always assumed constants to be good, obedient variables that are only set once, and thereafter never change.They are reliable and... well... constant. However, the term "compile-time constant" seems to pop up quite a bit.Does this mean that rather than treat references to the constant as references to a variable, Flash goes in (at least for numbers, booleans, and strings) and during the compiling replaces all the references to the constant variable with those actual values? For instance, this line during "edit mode":
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
during compile time, the Flash FIRST replaces it to this:
stage.addEventListener("click", onClick);
and AFTER that finishes the compiling into bytecode?
This method would be a little faster since it doesn't need to access the constant as a variable, but instead has the actual value, which is a fraction of a second saved, but it can add up in the long run.Is this what happens or am I way off? Why otherwise would there be the term "Compile-time constant", and what does that refer to?

CSS :: How To Have Constants In Flex Files
Feb 18, 2010How can I have a constant in a Flex application which I could apply at several places in a Flex CSS file?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Constants Be Compiled Inline
Oct 16, 2011I just found out that it is executed like a normal variable at runtime. Typically constants are supposed to be 'inlined'........ so when you write this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
...you should get this in the SWF:
ActionScript Code:
o.x += 5;
...but when I decompile my SWF I get this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
Is there a way to force the Flex compiler to inline constants in AS3?

View 14 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Static Class Constants Be Too Slow ?
Feb 23, 2011I am working on a Flash site template for which I am implementing the possibility for the users to change the theme dynamically while the site is opened.Basically, the site will have a few themes available and when the user selects a new theme, all of the site objects will change their properties (colors, alpha, fonts, etc) to fit the new theme.
And my questions is what is the best approach to sending the theme information to all of the objects in the site.I was thinking of making a static class called "Theme" and when the objects need a property, they will call a static getter of the Theme class that will return the appropriate property value for the object.But, from my understanding, static properties are quite slow and seeing that I may need quite a lot of them, maybe more that 100 for the whole site, will this approach be too slow ?

Java :: Keep String Constants In Sync Between Flex?
Aug 9, 2010Say you have a web application that has a lot of business rules built around if-then comparison of String constants. These are used on both client-side and backend code, and at the moment are hard-coded badly throughout both places with lots of duplication and sometimes errors. What's a sensible way to refactor them out? Unfortunately, in most cases they must exist as using polymorphism would be much more hideous. Anything specific for flex/java? Is there an easy way to keep all those constants in one place and compile it into both client and server code?
Edit: I'm really looking for a way to share string constants between flex and java with compile-time checking of everything.
ActionScript 3.0 :: BUG: Cannot Use Constants In Class With Private Classes
Dec 27, 2009I have some code from a CS3 app composed of the .FLA file with an .AS file for the class that had definitions for two private classes in it. Yesterday I brought the files into CS4 and noticed that they did not compile. Gives an 1120, access of undefined property and names a constant. I have reduced this problem down to bare bones and it still occurs, so it is a bug in CS4.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Config Constants Other Than True Or False
Feb 3, 2010How do you use config constants with values other than true or false? The only documentation examples I've found uses the syntax:

}
But what if the constant is set to a value like "hello"? How can I set a block of code to only compile if the constant is set to "hello" but not "goodbye"? I tried:
ActionScript Code:
CONFIG::CONSTANT_NAME == "hello" {
