Flash - Create A Vector With A Runtime Defined Data Type?
Feb 17, 2011Typically you create a Vector (strongly typed array) specifying a data type like:
new Vector<PictureBox>();
However I need to create a utility method that should be able to create a vector of any given datatype. Is it possible to specify a type using a variable instead of hard-coding it?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Strict Data Type Custom Object Properties?
Feb 8, 2010I need to create a custom Object that basically stores some custom parameters (properties?), which I have successfully done, and the code below works fine.
PHP Code:
myObject = new Object();
myObject.nameLabel = "New Releases";
myObject.artOrientation = "portrait";
myObject.artAmount = 5;
I find the new compiler and debugger capabilities very useful, since I'm not the most detail-oriented, so I (usually) like that Flash forces me to strict-type my variables and such. Anyway, I was wondering if it's a "best practice" to strict data type a custom objects' properties, and if so, how to do it in the logic above? I kept getting syntax errors when I just tried it initially.
I know if I created a custom Class .AS file, I would be forced to data type the properties... but I'd rather just do it "in-line" in my main .FLA file. Also, I know I can just pass typed VARIABLES to the properties... but I'd rather have the properties strict-typed themselves... so if I try to pass a variable as the wrong type, then I would still get an error.

C++ :: Actionscript 3 - Initializing A Vector With Type Array?
May 30, 2011I have a quick question for you all. I'm trying to convert over some ActionScript code to C++ and am having a difficult time with this one line:
private var edges:Vector.<Array> What is this exactly? Is this essentially a multidimensional vector then? Or is this simply declaring the vector as a container? I understand from researching that vectors, like C++ vectors, have to be declared with a type. However, in C++ I can't just put down Array, I have to use another vector (probably) so it looks like:
I don't expect you guys to know the C++ equivalent because I'm primarily posting this with AS tags, but if you could confirm my understand of the AS half, that would be great. I did some googling but didn't find any cases where someone used Array as it's type.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert Vector Type To Superclass?

ActionScript 3 :: Flash - Expose A Vector As An Enumerable Type?
Mar 8, 2011I have a class member in an ActionScript 3 class that looks something like this:
private var m_myvect :Vector.<MyType> = new <MyType>[];
I'm exposing it through a getter, like this:
public function get mydata() :Vector.<MyType>
Which doesn't help when I use it like this:
for (var o:Object in inst.mydata)
{
...
}
... because the type of o is not MyType, but Number instead, because it enumerates the vector indices instead of the data.How would I expose only the data within the vector in a way which:Does not expose the data in a way which allows it to be modified?
Actionscript 3 :: Find A Complex Type In A List (Vector, Array, Dictionary, Whatever Is Faster)?
Aug 29, 2009I need to know the best method to find an item inside a list (Vector, Array, Dictionary, whatever is faster) of complex type (extensions of Objects and Sprites).I've used "Needle in Haystack" method, but it seems that it isn't fast enough.
E.g.Suppose that I have a collection of Sprites (a pool, in fact).Each sprite will be added to the stage and perform some action. After that, it will die.I don't want to pay the cost to dispose it (garbage collect) and create another (new) one every time so I'll keep the dead sprites in a collection.
Sometimes times I'll call a method that will add a sprite to the stage.This sprite can be a old one, if it is already dead, or a new one, if the pool don't have any free sprite.
One of the scenarios that pushed me to this question was a Particle System.A "head" particle leaving a "trail" of particles every frame and exploding into a flashy multitude of particles... Every frame...Some times this counts up to 50.000 PNGs with motion, rotation, alpha, event dispatching, scale, etc...But, this is JUST ONE scenario...At the moment I'm trying to use a Object Pool with a Linked List...Hopes that it will be faster that running a whole Array/Vector or create new instances every frame an let them dye with Garbage Collection.

Dec 29, 2010I'm currently building a create-your-own t-shirt application using AS3. My client needs the resulting design as an Adobe Illustrator file for printing. Is there a way to dynamically create an AI file from your Flash app? The only solution I have been able to come up with is recreating the design in a special version of the app that only the client has access to (the app would automatically load and create what the customer designed). This version of the app uses PrintJob to create a printable version of the design that the client saves to a PDF and then opens in Illustrator. It works, but as you can see, it's a messy process and creates additional steps for the client.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash And Its Non-strict OOP Scope?
Sep 26, 2005I was writing some stuff today and i realized that variables inside a class are not constrained to the constructor or method scope. In my opinion this is utter lazynes. Scopes need to be fully enforced to force programmers to comply with correct OOP styles and organization.
to force yourslef to comply with the standards, when reffering to the consturctor always use the 'this' prefix and use 'var' for all temporary variables that should be inside the method scope.

View 3 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Why Does Have Two Modes Of Compilation (Strict & Standard)
Jan 7, 2010I am learning ActionScript 3.0. Coming from Java world I can easily relate to strict compilation mode. I think having type safety checks at compilation time makes perfect sense. This makes me wonder, why the compiler allows a standard mode were all the type safety checks are deferred to run time? Is compatibility with older ActionScript specification the sole reason for having standard mode?
View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Vector Number Does Not Extend Vector
Nov 16, 2011I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Timer Fire All Variables In Strict Sequence?
Mar 17, 2010I'm looking for will all happen in about two or three seconds. I'm re-building my own website using AS3 package classes. When the API loads I want everything to appear in sequence from invisible to visible. First the logo, a few lines drawing themselves, then all the navigation buttons at the top appearing in a quick-fire horizontal row, then the content rolls in, etc. I want strict, accurate control over about two or three seconds, of how and when everything on stage goes from invisible to visible in a quick-fire sequence. I know it can all be done with several timers for each alpha going from 0 to 1. But can all the variables going from alpha 0 to 1 be bundled into an Array? And the Array fired by ONLY ONE Timer using a For Loop? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? Should I just use a bunch of Timers? I want to avoid a Tween because I want very accurate control of the quick-fire invisible to visible effect. And I want it to be easy to change later. Can this effect be done by ONLY ONE Timer rather than several Timers? And if it can, how do I make the timer fire all variables in strict sequence? Do I use an Array with a For Loop? Or something else? I've been looking for a couple of days but still haven't found anything close.
