ActionScript 3.0 :: Maintinain Object Type Persistence In SharedObject?
Aug 22, 2009
I wrote a little script designed to save and load data using the SharedObject class. This is the meat of what I came up with.
Code:
public function saveGame(fileName:String, saveData:Object):void
{
var saveFile:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(fileName);
[Code]....
Now, this little script works perfectly when I'm dealing with ints, Strings and the like. However, a problem arises when I try to save a custom made Object dedicated to holding data for another class structure. It goes through the saving process just fine, but when I try to load it it gets locked into Object. I can't access any functions and all (gameData is DataType) comparisons evaluate to false (even when testing against the dataType I saved it as).

I've an Flex actionscript 3 schedule reminding app which talks to a web-service through the internet over wifi. The problem is the wifi connection is unreliable and there are frequent dropouts. The schedule which the app reminds doesn't change very frequently. So instead of calling the web-service for finding the schedule every day/hour the app can store the data locally. Also, if the user updates the schedule on the app, the web-service is updated that the task on the schedule is complete. This data can also be stored locally so that when the user uses the app next time and there is an internet connection, the app can update the web-service.

I've installed developer version of Flash Media Server 4.5 and trying to get remote object, but no matter how I call my object all i get is this error .I've rad configuration guide and it told me that I should set StorageDir for shared objects, enable RPC (<RPC enabled="true">) and allow shared object (<Allow>users</Allow> in <RPC> - <SharedObject> tags)

I have created a sharedobject on a local hard drive that stores multiple objects in it. I need to know how to access one particular object in that sharedobject.

Currently, I do serialize my model object to the SharedObject instance:
try {
var mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("sig");
mySo.clear();[code]....
Likewise, I load the saved model using the SharedObject instance. Works great.Ultimately, I'd like to serialize it to a file - which fails. Here is how:
var fp: File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
fp = fp.resolvePath( PREFS_FILENAME );
var _prefsStream:FileStream;[code]....
The complementing read operation suddenly breaks and reports missing bytes.In fact, I can't image how FileStream / _model.writeExternal() is able to serialize, since it needs to somehow know, that a new serialization operation is about to start. If it doesn't know, it won't be able to determine, which object instances are left to serialize.Thus, I image that my concept is completely wrong or I missed how to initialize the serialization operation.I'd be happy to read the raw ByteArray from the shared object and write it to a file. Unfortunately, I didn't find a method to retrieve from a SharedObject a ByteArray of a certain property, in my case mySo.data.model.My question is loosely related to this one: Why does delete( DictionaryInstance[ key ] ); fail?

Everytime a clip is being started the line var so = SharedObject.getLocal('mysharedobject', '/'); creates new mysharedobject instead of returning the reference to the existing one. What might be the reason for this?

We create Objects in flex by declaring type Object. for example
var objSampleObject:Object = new Object();
and we create properties directly with dot operator without creating any class
[Code].....
My question is in above process is there any class is created internally by flex?

The title might be a little misleading. Look at my code and I will explain
public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void
{
if(tileDir != "empty")
{
tPoint = new Point(0,0);
tRect = new Rectangle(0,0,30,30);
[Code]...
I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.

I'm coding a really simple 2D platforming game in Flash using AS3. I'd like to define two different types of terrain surfaces that the player can walk on based on classic platforming elements. Type1: the player can walk on, and if the player jumps, they will hit their head on it and bounce back to the ground. Type2: the player can also walk on, but if the player jumps and hits their head, they will simply pass through the surface and not bounce back to the ground.
I am using hitTestPoint to resolve collisions for this. My question is: What would be the best method to test for what TYPE of ground I am colliding with? Each ground type has it's own Class associated with it in my Flash IDE and all the different terrain surface types are in the same movie clip on the stage.
Currently I'm testing to see if it hit one type of ground surface, then i'm testing if it hit the other, and then based on those results, I process what I want to happen. This seems to work okay right now, but I'm imagining that I may want to create more than 2 types of ground to collide with. For example, moving platforms. It seems like the code will start to get complex
Eg.
if(_groundType1.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
if(_groundType2.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))

Is there any difference between those three declarations?
var x;
var y:Object;
var z:*;
Is there anything in AS that's not an Object?

I have a variable named "type". And I want to instance an object with the name of the value of type. Here is an example: var myObjectName = "ball"; var object = new ball(); //Except I want to use the value of myObjectName. I believe this used to be easy with AS2 when using _global, but I'm not sure how to do it in AS3?

Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.

I want to do something like this in Actionscript 3:
if(variable is Object) ...;
else ...;
Where variable could be a String(), Number(), Array(), Object()...Currently the above check returns true for all of these types, which makes sense. I only want it to return true for objects made with new Object(), however.

I have a custom class say class A :
class A
{
public testA:int;
public testB:int;
}
Now, I have a object say Object C , the object has the exact same names of variables and everything as the class.
can I cast that object into class or vice versa. Instead of set/get of individual variables.

currMC = (e.target as MovieClip);
myCart.itemsInCart.push(currMC);

-= Lets say I have two swfs: 'parent.swf' and 'child.swf' AND MyCustomObject.as that extends MovieClip-= In child.swf I have a MovieClip physically placed on stage (not using adddChild). Lets call it "ball_mc"-= child.swf gets loaded into parent.swfWhat I want:-= once child.swf is loaded I want to change ball_mc from a ball_mc:MovieClip to all_mc:MyCustomObject-= Then I want to be able to call ball_mc.init() (init() would be a public function in MyCustomObject.as)Why I want to do this:-= I dont want to import MyCustomObject.as directly into the child.swf. This is because there will be LOTS of child.swfs (child1.swf - childN.swf) If the .as is imported directly into each of these AND the MyCustomObject.as changes I have to re-publish ALL the child.swfs so that they publish with the new code... Right.MAIN QUESTIONs:-= whats the best way to go about doing this?? I just want to be able to change the MyCustomObject.as and have the effects show up on all the child.swfs (but not have to re-publish them all

I'm trying to find information in how or if it it possible to declare a Variable Type that can accomodate 1 of 2 different Types In this particular case I'd like to set a Variable able to accept either Integrals or Strings I know i Can use a wildcard as below and it works, but it also allows for any other type to be added.
private var _destination:*;
My first Thought was something like this
private var _destination:String^int;
private var _destination:String|int;
Unfortunatly this does not work

I am trying to save a Sprite object as a file on the device I'm working on and it seems to work. the problem I'm having is reading the saved file back and placing it back on stage as a sprite. Below is the code I have so far, could someone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong? I have a suspicion that the saved isn't what I expect it to be since the file sizes have been under a kilobyte.

I want to find out which type an object has. Therefore I thought of the 'switch' statement, but how would you do that? The following code does not work, but you will get the point of what I want to do.
Code:
switch (object) {
case is String:
trace("string");
case is Array:
trace("array");
