I have three classes with names like
-enemy1
-enemy2
-enemy3
and an array enemyIndices = [1,1,2,2,3,1,2] or something like that. Is there any way to compose the class names on the fly so that I can write something like [code]
how do convert the myString var which is a string to the class name?
var myString:String = "movieClipInTheLibraryClassName"
var t:myString = myString()
How do I create a class that extends the String class?
Lets say I've created an 'exString' class that extends String.
In my project file I do the following
Code:
var test:exString = new exString();
test = "Hello World";
text.someExStringFunction();
I get a type mismatch in my "Hello World" assignment because Flash sees it as a String and not as an exString.
I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".

View 2 RepliesHow does one change / modify the Result property of a web service operation?
For example, I have declared my WebService as follows:
<mx:WebService id="ws">
<mx:operation name="Call_One" result="Call_OneRH(event)" fault="Call_OneFH(event)" />
[Code]...
I want to be able to change the result of the operation "Call_One" to another result, since I am planning to re-use the same web service, but the result would be treated differently.
Am not sure if this would work:
ws.operation.Call_One.result = "myOtherResult"
Or... how do you XOR doubles without getting integer results? I am using Actionscript 3.0 and found the following:
var a:Number = 3.000000004;
var b:Number = 29.999999999;
trace ("a: " + a); //3.000000004[code]..........
Clearly, the XOR operation is converting my Numbers into ints. I am a bit surprised by this and don't exactly understand the reason behind it. But I do know that other bitwise operations will also change Number into int, so I am not that surprised.Be that as it may, is there a way to XOR doubles (aka Numbers) without having them get truncated to integers?I used the above XOR originally for performance optimization (these number switches are executed millions of times in an array).I assumed if I skipped the temporary variable, I would see a speed increase.Alas, if the Number data gets changed to int, it is all for naught.
public static function reversePairs(values:Vector.<Number>):void {
//1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -> 5, 6, 3, 4, 1, 2
var l:int = values.length;[code].........
Why does test movie open a new window in the IDE instead of compiling? And when I try Publish Settings I get 'No Valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.

How do can you detect and dispatch an event when a drag and drop operation ends prematurely? I need to know that the user is no longer dragging an item. Even if the dragDrop and dragComplete events do no fire. Its almost as if I need to add an event listener to the dragManager, but that's not really possible..

My problem is quite simple to describe, in flex: 0.8 - 0.2 = 0.6000000000000001 I'm sure the first two members are 0.8 and 0.2 and are Number class, why would this happen?? And another thing, I cast the value from * type like this:
var value:*=0.8;
var castValue:Number = Number(value);
But nothing more, if I trace value I get 0.8 not 0.800000000000001 or something.
I am aware that Action Script does not provide multithreading so when writing flex application we are limited to work on one thread. which is ok for rendering my UI.
However some questions arise when preferring flex over silverlight:
As a UI layer single thread is good enough but is it fair to assume that for Aync httpservice like operations in flex , internally it would use some worker threads to manage the async operation and then come back to the main thread ? it looks like it does since my UI does not freeze.Can the flex/flash player deal with multiple httpservice calls in parallel ? ( e.g more than one section of the UI loading data at the same time.)How about the animation stuff ( e.g the parallel animation ) - does flash player internally leverages some threading for accelerating graphics or is it all done on the UI thread ?
I would like to know how possible it is to undo/redo the resize of the the textflow container through an EditManager?.For example I manually reset the size of the textflow through ContainerController.setCompositionSize(w, h), and then I would like to undo the resize?

Is it possible to use a class name stored in a string and pass it as a parameter??I'm using the push method in a flex mobile project. I have the name of the view I would like to pass into the push method stored in a string.

I'd like to write a class that extends String, changing the functionality of several methods such as charAt to incorporate the Welsh alphabet. The reason for this is that the Welsh alphabet is as follows: as you can see, some "letters" actually contain two characters, which messes up any charAt operations, etc.
Is it possible to extend String? When I try, I get "base class is final".
I found this thread on another forum which talks about doing this, but has no mention of it not being extendible:[URL]..

I am working on the Google Calendar API which has been built for Flex/AIR. In the API, for performing a Delete or Update operation, it uses DELETE or PUT methods in the URLRequest. But I think these being REST based calls are supported in AIR. I am using this API in a Flash/AS3 application and have successfully implemented the Update functionality by using X-HTTP-Method-Override method for PUT and instead using POST, which is supported in Flash. But when I try to do the same thing for Delete method, I get a 401 error in the API call.
