ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Versus Function Call?
Aug 4, 2009I'm playing with the event system and my own custom event class for a project I'm working on. I'm wondering if it's better to use obj.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(event)) or if I should just use a regular function call.
It seems to me that in most cases when one object is detecting the event and another is responding to it it is better to use the event system so I'm not passing around objects too much.
I was also wondering what the performance hit of using the event vs. the function call is. I'm sure the event is more cpu intensive but is it negligible?
ActionScript 3.0 :: DispatchEvent Versus A "State" Class?
Sep 17, 2010Like most Flex/Flash Builder developers, I have been using the dispatchEvent method to communicate between different classes of an application. And, that works fine, but, I have been toying with a different idea about inter-class communications and would like you to shoot it down, if you can.
Why not have an application "state" class, instantiated as a singleton, which holds the information that is needed by the application's various classes? Examples would be current user and session, currentState of the parent application, selection criteria, data providers, etc. Each class would, of course, have to be aware of this state class. Each class in the application would post its relevant state to this "state" class, and likewise each class could establish listeners for changes to the relevant objects therein.
It just seems to me that, rather than dispatching events, setting up listeners that in turn fire off a listener method, I could instead bind, for example, a datagrid to the state class' relevant data provider, or whatever is needed. In other words, all "listening" and binding is performed against a single state class.

Flash :: Call Anonymous Function From ExternalInterface.call() Method?
Nov 4, 2010I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
Flash - Externalinterface.call Won't Call The JavaScript Function - Firefox 3.6
Feb 10, 2011I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:

I call that function from my Flash file like so:

This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?

ActionScript :: Flex - An Object Returned From A Function Call Changed The Next Time The Same Function Is Called?
Jan 10, 2012I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
