Actionscript :: Calling Function With Unknown Arguments Count
Mar 4, 2012
For example i have function declared in AS3.0 class:
private function log():void{
// working with arguments directly here
}
I'm calling:
log('some stuff',object,array,etc);
Then i'm calling:
log('ok');
Ofc FlashBuilder throws exception with: type 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0
In javascript it's possible. But in AS not, isn't it's ECMA based? Why so strict...
Update
Ok nvm. Created like that atm: log(m1:*=null,m2:*=null,m3:*=null,m4:*=null,m5:*=null):void{}

Basically what I'm trying to create is a custom timer that uses frames rather than milliseconds. But I can't figure out how functions like setInterval calls the function you passed along with the arguments. First I create a reference to the function I want to execute after a certain interval and name it fc, then I create a list of arguments my function want to pass using Array, but then how do I put those arguments in fc()?

Let's say I have a function that accepts a function and some arguments as parameters. Something like:
ActionScript Code:
function myFunction(func:Function,args:Array):Void{
// do something awesome here
};
How would I go about calling this function with the arguments in args? It's pretty simple to call a function without any arguments, but calling it with them..
As an example:
ActionScript Code:
// I'd like this call
myFunction(trace,["Hello world!"]);

I'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code

I have class A and a child instance of class B: B calls a function of parent class A, and if I try to simply trace B from here (from inside the function in A) I get a null!
If I pass B as a parameter to the function in A and trace it is correctly show the class type, but tracing the B instance directly gives me a null, how can this happen?
Code:
class A Main()
gameElements = new GameElements(this);
function whatever (ga: *){

I've made an user login, working with php and MySQL. When the user logs in, he can see all of his details, loaded from a database. Here he can press a button to change this content. After changing it, he needs to press the "save" button to load the new data into the database. But everytime the user presses the save button, it's adding an extra line to the data into the database, which results in an error of displaying the data. Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'google_verify.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

I have this code but I cannot work out how to fill in function parameters based on an array and it's length, see line 7
[AS]
import com.robertpenner.easing.Cubic;
MovieClip.prototype.framesTimeout = function(func:Function, frames:Number, args:Array) {

Is it possible to call a function and fill in the parameters based on an array and it's length?

I'm trying to convert some C# code I have and one problem I can't find a solution for is to have a function take parameters of unknown types.
C# code:
PHP Code:
public T Maximum<T>(T v1, T v2){ return v1 > v2 != null ? v1 : v2;}
A straight translation to AS3 would look something like this, for making it easier to understand for people that might be confused by C# syntax.
[Code]...
This way you can send in anything as the parameters (notice the <T>), be different classes for example, depending on what situation you want to use it, instead of writing a lot of duplicate functions for every possible parameter type.
Is there a way to do this in AS3? Edit: Seems like I managed to find a solution right after I wrote this. Seems like one can use "*" as parameter type.

I have a project that uses a lot of remoting calls and I'm hoping to abstract the process. I've hit a problem with passing parameters to the final call...[code]...
I know how to loop through the ...rest param to obtain their values but I'm struggling at how to construct the final gateway.call() which could have 1 arg or 10.

I'm designing a game that uses this function;
function moveBars(Bl:Number,Gr:Number,Or:Number,Ye:Number)
{
blueBar_mc.scaleX += Bl;
greenBar_mc.scaleX += Gr;
orangeBar_mc.scaleX += Or;
yellowBar_mc.scaleX += Ye;
}
When moveBars is called, the length of the 4 colored bars change to indicate how the player is doing in different areas of the game, like so; moveBars(.1,-.2,.3,-.1)
My problem; I need to store the moveBars parameter arguments in XML like so;
<myArgs> .1,-.2,.3,-.1 </myArgs>
But I can't find the way to get those 4 numbers into the moveBars parameters from the XML doc. Is there a way to do this?

func.call();
how to invoke the function with its parameters?

I have a movie clip that contains several movie clips, only one of which should be shown at a time. Which one is shown, depends on what buttons the user selects.Having trouble with the syntax for passing the argument in a button to the function that controls the tweening of the clips. (When I hard code the references into the function, it works, so I know the basic function is ok).There's a clip called 'slide1_mc' which contains various MC's to be shown based on user selection (in this case, using 'system' clip as the first one already showing). Here's the code in the parent clip of that item:
Code:
var currSection = slide1_mc.system_mc;
function changeSection(newSection):Void {
TweenLite.to(currSection,.3,{_yscale:200, _xscale:200, _alpha:0});
[code]....
Here's one of serveral buttons that will control the content to be seen:
The code in the button is:
Code:
var changer = slide1_mc.software_mc;
smallButton.onPress = function() {
_parent.changeSection(changer);
};
So - the initial part of my function works so I know my 'external' initializing of "currSection" is working (that clip is zooming/fading out)... but then the clip that I want to fade in isn't doing anything.

lets say I define a function that does a simple trace of the arguments it takes in, now is it possible to have multiple arguments? like sometimes i want to send in a String argument, sometimes a Number, and sometimes an Array.Do I need to create the same function 3 times to accommodate for the 3 different inputs or is there a way I can keep one function but send one of the 3 values.

I have a main class that is running an external sub class which loads my data (loads data via flash remoting on a ColdFusion server). No problems loading the data; however, I am trying to run a function from the main class on the sub class function onResult. I do not have problems running functions in the sub class in general, only in the responder result function. Problem: My problem is that I can't pass the main class through the function onResult because I get a error with the arguments.Here's what some of the code look likes:
function init(){
myService2.connect("URLgateway");
var responder:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);

Is there any way to pass an argument to a function being called by a ContextMenuItem?The effect I want would be what one might expect from this pseudocode:
Code:
var cm = new ContextMenuItem("Start Alt", set_row_style('start_alt_here'), separatorBefore=true, enabled=true, visible=true);
Which obviously doesn't work, or I wouldn't be asking.So far I've tried using the captions as a basis for a switch condition, which works.
Code:
function set_row_style(obj, cm) {
switch (cm.caption) {
case 'start_alt_here' :
...
But I'd rather not use an arbitrary string as part of a function.The only other option I see is using a listener for each ContextMenuItem, then calling the function with its arguments from there.Is there any more direct a way to pass an argument to a function from a ContextMenuItem?
