ActionScript 3.0 :: Map Data Types To Custom Types?

Jan 24, 2012

Consider 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?

Data Integration :: Complex Data Types From PHP To Flash?

Apr 7, 2006

Does anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.

I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.

I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.

Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Boolean And Other Data Types From XML

Jul 22, 2010

Im trying to wrap my head around data types and phrasing them from xml. From what I gather variables that come in from XML are always treated as a string - even if you declare them as something else before hand? Im not seeing that myself as everything else other then the Boolean is behaving as expected. For example in the code below, if I declare FGFILLCOLOR as anything other then an int, or Number, I get an unrelated type error. So why just Boolean and how can I convert them so they behave properly without declaring all of them as a String? Though I've seen a few related solutions posted around but I wan't able to sort them out.

Flex :: Equivalent Datatypes For Various Wsdl Data Types?

Apr 21, 2011

WSDL defines a number of datatypes supported by web service . Is there a documentation stating the various equivalents of those datatypes on flex side. In general for any language that we use to consume web service, how do we get to know the equivalent datatypes of the wsdl types.

One of the web service that I am consuming is returning base64Binary (an image binary data) , What is the equivalent datatype of this on flex ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function Sending Different Data Types As Parameter?

May 23, 2009

In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or loads the image and shows a progress bar). This function is called by clicking on a thumbnail, and it uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property "name" of the thumbnail clicked, which is an integer (or I believe so). The thumbnails are placed inside the cointaner_mc MovieClip.

Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){[code]...

but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.I tried this:

Code:
clickThumb(image_num + 1);
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.events:MouseEvent.

How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use "image_num + 1" instead of "e.target.name" ?

Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this value "image_num + 1" ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keeping References To Primitive Data Types/Properties?

Oct 26, 2009

Primitive Data Types (Boolean, int, Null, Number, String, uint, and void) are treated as "values" rather than Objects, so when you pass one of them into a function, instead of passing a reference, it basically clones the information, and creates a new instance. It does the same thing when when you use "primitive1 = primitive2", and instead of passing on a reference, clones it.I thought there might be a slim possibility Flash allows me to reference primitives if I treat them as objects instead of (in this case) ints.

Code:
var num1:int = 5;
var num2:Object;

Embedding Newer Types Of FLV Files

Jun 16, 2010

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>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing MouseEvents Of Different Types To Same Function?

Sep 21, 2009

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?

Does Flash Support Compressed Audio Types Other Than Mp3

May 7, 2009

I 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?

Actionscript :: Passing Reference Types By Ref - Flex

Jun 30, 2010

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?
