two classes, both extend EventDispatcher. Static method in 1st class calls instance method in 2nd event not getting caught. [code]also, since dispatchEvent() is an instance method, is there any way of calling it without first instantiating the class? i expect not.
View 2 RepliesIf all I have is an instance of an object, can I call a static method of its class? For fun, let's say I don't know what the name of the class is, only the name of the static method.
View 3 Replies My method has been passed a class instance, but it was typed through an interface so I'm not 100% sure what class it is. I'd like to attempt call a static method on that instance's Class.. is there an easy way to do this without being forced to pass the class along as well?
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function foo(myBarInstance:IBar):void {
var barClassPointer:Class = getClass(myBarInstance);
try {

I'm tryng to make a public static method call another method, but Flash throws error 1180, sayng that the method called by the static method is undefined.

Is it more common to use a function for program utilities or a static method?
[Code]...
While this is similar to another post, that post (does not indicate how to perform this (if it can be done) without instantiating an object. Also, without success I have tried multiple variations on the theme of:
class[method](arg)
class[method].call(arg)
method.apply(class, arg)
I have used Reflection in both C# and Java. BTW, the code that I am attempting to get to work in Flex is mirrored in both those languages and works as expected.

i have to read the current class name inside a static method. For non-static method it's easy i just call getQualifiedClassName(this) but inside a static method this is off course invalid.
View 2 RepliesWhen I type a class name without new before, FlashDevelop does not show autocompleate. Is it a way to enable that feature? (do you have the same issue?)
View 2 RepliesI wanted to use a couple of stand-alone function/or static methods by declaring them in the external *.as file and import it.
The problem is, when I import it, I had to instantiate a new class from imported class to use any of these functions which is not necessary in my situation, I just wanted to be able call these functions.
It (AS) does not allow me to declare those functions outside of class declaration, (tried with static keyword in front of those functions just like in C++).
I also tried to declare the class itself with static keyword (also just like C++) but AS also does not allow me to do that.
Remember whole points is declare couple of helper functions in external *.as file and use it over and over.
I have a pointer to a Class object like so:
var temp_class:Class = getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(some_obj ect)) as Class;
I want to use it to call a static method 'can build' on that class, like so:
function can_build_ot(c:Class, qualifier:Object):Boolean {
if (c.can_build(this, qualifier)) {return true;}
return false;
}
When I do this, Flash CS4 AS3 tells me
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method can_build.
I'm creating a utility function for debugging/logs, which I access by importing the class and calling
new Log(params);
Alternatively I change the function to a static, and rename it to It,
then I can call it by Log.It(params)
I'm wondering if it possible to set it up so I can simply call Log(params) similar to the trace command?
function:
package

public class Log

call to a possibly undefined method through a refernce with a static type?
I have a bunch of functionality which is going to be used throughout the application.I already have some utilities which work ok such as changing an AS3 object into XML.public static function convertMyObjectToXML(o:Object): XMLThis can go in a UTIL class somewhere.nother thing i would like to do is create a "createDirectory" via php. public static function createDirectory(name:string, path:String): voidThe problem is, in order to get the response from the server, i need to listen for the load to complete (or fail).So am i right to think that static methods are not possible or desirable here? How else can i solve the problem of reusing such a method throughout an application?
View 0 RepliesLet's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.
Example:
Code:
// within the utility class
public static function getPoints(num:Number):Array {
var ar:Array = [];

Is there a way to make an static method act over an object of its class that is already on the stage, without using the keyword "this"? I mean, like "generic object of this class: do what I'm telling you to do, wathever your instance name".My goal is to create an method that get called by any object of this class, based on the changing on the value of an external variable, but since I cannot use the "this" keyword to reffer to each instance, I could not figure out a solution.

In the following code (thoroughly debugged) the first case (1) in the switch is met and a new instance of BannerSingle is assigned to retVal (the return value). Unfortunately, while the second case (2) is never met, the assignment therein to retVal takes place and I can't compile. When I comment out the assignment to retVal for "case 2:" everything works fine.
I've tried using an if/else instead and I still get the same odd behavior. Also tried a number of solutions involving separate variables, etc.

I am trying to get my application to load images from my local hard drive. I browse to the image files (no problem so far) by when I select the file to load I get an input/output error. I CAN load images successfully if they are in the same folder (directory) as the Flash application I am creating. Is it possible to load image files selected from folders other than the active application folder?

I created a class of sliders that are used to control the opacity of various movieclips. The movieclips are layered on top of eachother, so if one slider is at 100%, you can't see the other movieclips below it.
Is it possible to push one slider (e.g., 'sliderBus') down to 0% when a new slider (e.g., sliderAir) is moved above 0%? Basically, I only want 1 slider to be able to be above 0% at any given time.
