There doesn't seem to be any documentation on the static method "init()" and the static constant "length" of the Object class. Does anyone have any more insight into these?
View 2 RepliesI have an object using as a map in actionscript
var map:Object = new Object();
map[1] = "one";
map[2] = "one";
Is there any easy way to get length of map without iterating?
I have an xml file (attached). And what I need to do is find out the number of clients in the list
gallery_xml = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var list:XMLList = gallery_xml.data.digital;
trace("the list length is" + list.length());
This is what I have so far but it always returns 0.
Flex having any init(), destroy() method. Like Servlet init()method will run at Application initialize and never call it again if Refresh the Page also.

I'm getting a run-time error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property of method of a null object reference referring to the for loop's first line dataWriteToDB.PeopleName since it is NULL. I'm guessing the problem here is that while dataWriteToDB is declared initially, the array lengths for the arrays in PeopleInfo class have not been set yet. Or, not sure otherwise why it's NULL.
If L be the original length of linear path (horizontal or vertical) traversed by an object, how can I make Flash change the length according to equation y = L/x where x is an dynamic value generated?
View 4 Replieshow I can count the B point's coordinates (see attached image... or not as I am a new user...pf!). I know the arrow's rotation - so the angle (let's say it is -120), A's coordinates (0, 0) - A is the middle point of the arrow, and that the distance between A and B is 50 px.

View 6 RepliesSo 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?

So in the end i end up with.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
Alright, I've looked online at a bunch of different collision tutorials but they don't explain what I'm looking for. I want object A to hit object B and then execute a function via to a Event listener.
View 1 RepliesI want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.
Ok. So heres what I am trying to do. I want one movie clip to follow another one that I move around with actions on the main timeline.The problem is that the follower clip is linked to a class file and I cannot find a way to find the players position.

I have a Movie Clip and Im trying to do a hit test on it but i want it to test when the second object touches th eactualy object in the movie clip, not just enters inside of the blue outline.
View 3 RepliesI found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..
View 2 RepliesI am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -

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)?
View 2 RepliesI am currently trying to create an app using flash AIR.I would like to find some more information on how to make an object snap to another ojbect then follow its path, eg. a person object is already on the stage, then drag an arrow to the object which snaps to it, then on play button it follows the arrow path. all in pure actionscript, no guide layers.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?

I am creating an object pool to cache some recyclable objects in memory at the outset of my application in order to avoid (as much as possible) the performance issues caused by GC running; if possible I'd like to minimize the memory my object pool reserves, so I'm attempting to pool generic forms of the objects (with no methods) and then casting the generic variants to more specific and complex object types which extend the generic form when I actually want them on the stage.
The trouble is that to do this requires the generic variant class to import/extend MovieClip (because the more complicated objects are themselves MovieClips and make use of DisplayObject methods)-- does simply importing and/or extending a class add to the memory an object takes up when instantiated even if it never uses methods from the inherited class? It makes sense that it would, and some light profiling seems to suggest that it does, but I'm not 100% certain. About how large should an 'empty' MovieClip instance be in bytes?
I want to know the difference between [object main timeline], [object Stage] and root in as3? I have read from the topic How stage, root, and MainTimeline Fit Together. But I didn't get clearly.
View 3 RepliesI'm about to implement
public function writeExternal( output:IDataOutput ):void {...}
public function readExternal( input:IDataInput ):void {...}
to make a set of object serializable.
Although I'm pretty sure, that I implemented all correctly, readExternal(..) at a certain point complains about too few data left to read:
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

I wonder, if I have a circular object network like
A = { left -> B, right -> B }
B = { father -> A }
And I call
writeObject( a )
Will Flex serialize the hole object network and each object once and only one?
I did this:
Declared type annotations like this: [RemoteClass(alias="model.MyClass")]
Implemented parameter-free constructors
Declared all classes using implements IExternalizable
SharedObject's send() method is guaranteed to send each object once and only once.
Additional infos:
Reading and writing a ByteArray
Using Remote Object Components
IExternalizable interface
I created an array in the var declarations with Code: var private eDrag:Array In a function that adds imported mcs to the stage, I also added code to push each to the array. Here is an example of a block of code loading the object with the part pushing the object to the array at the end:
