Actionscript 3 :: Unit Testing With A Singleton Using Inversion Of Control
Jan 26, 2011
I am developing an AS3 application which uses a Singleton class to store Metrics in Arrays. It's a Singleton because I only ever want one instance of this class to be created and it needs to be created from any part of the app. The difficulty comes when I want to unit test this class. I thought adding public getters and setters would enable me to unit test this properly and would be useful for my app. I have read that changing to a Factory pattern will enable unit testing or using Inversion of control. This would of course make it more flexible too. I would like to know of people's thoughts on this matter as there are SO many conflicting opinions on this!

What methods do you use to unit test event handlers, particularly if they require information from the event (such as mouse coordinates, or the target of the event)? Is the most common practice to just refactor the behavior into a method that does the lifting while the handler just extracts information from the event, or are there effective ways to simulate event dispatch in FlexUnit or Fluint?

What are the best unit testing frameworks or libraries for AS3 programming? Specifically for projects that do not involve Flex, only Flash.

I'm looking for a reliable mocking framework for ActionScript. I've been using mock-as3, but I'm annoyed with what I feel is a hack-ish solution for triggering events. There are other a few other reasons why I'd like to have some options, but not sure if I necessarily need to go into them. I've also looked into Mock4AS, but the interface appears to be cumbersome.

I am writing a small flex application that will, eventually, call PHP services to perform its work. In the meantime, however, I would like to have it use local data in XML form to allow me to develop the Flex part independently of the data service.
What is the best way to do this? I want to emulate a service like this:
[Code]...
And invoke the service using issuerService.send(), populating my results as expected. How do I do this as though it were a RemoteObject instead, but keep my data local?

I've been trying to setup a working method for unit testing flex libraries using Flex Builder. i have tried setting up a standard flex lib project and using Ant to compile and run the units tests. But this means that when something does go wrong and I want to use the flex builder debugger I cannot do so.
So my next plan is to setup the library as a normal as3/flax/air app as I can use the concept of a main class to run the unit tests. I can then compile the actual library code using Ant.
I could also setup a separate companion project who's sole task is to run units tests on the lib. But this is a little awkward as each library now requires two projects to manage. How do other people develop flex libraries and use unit tests to test/develop/debug the code?

I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

I output a motion to an XML file using the Export Motion XML command. Then I applied it to a new graphic, and it came out wrong. After 323 frames of motion, the graphic is now at the wrong position, about 15 pixels to the left of where it should be.
When creating the animation, I had "snap to pixels" turned on, so every position of the source graphic is at a round number. When I look at the values in the generated XML file, it's full of sequences like this:

Is there a way to add the unit what gets attached to the array as unit4 and has an instance of unit4 and then if u press it again as unit5 with instance of unit5 and so on. This is my array.
var unitA:Array=[unit,unit1,unit2];
var unit = 0;
function addunit() {
if (cash>=50) {
var unit = attachMovie("unit", "unit"+units, _level0.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:100, _y:100});
unit += 1;
cash -= 140;
}} unit_btn.onRelease = addunit;

I'm working on a general code library for ActionScript 3.0 called as3lib which includes several extensions to the core API and some useful functions. I've written several unit tests (using FlexUnit) to make sure everything is working correctly.
What is the best way to organize these tests in the library? Currently, I have all my code in src/ and my tests in test/ but I've set up a secondary Flex project to run the unit tests. I am also manually adding and removing the test files from the library when I want to run the tests.
Preferably one where the compiled library doesn't include the test files but I don't need two separate projects to test them.

This is kinda related to my other question: flex dictionary bug? The HashMap has a method getValues() which returns an array of values:
[cODE]....
the loop for (var key:* in map) iterates the keys of the dictionary map, but it seems its implementation does it in some random way. What is the best way to write a test since I don't know what the array returned by getValues method will contain? I thought I could do it by calling the sort method, and compare the values, is there a better way to do it?assertEquals(map.getValues().sort(), "value A,value B,value C,value X,value Y,value Z");

I can't understand why should I even use the Singleton pattern in ActionScript 3. Can anyone explain me this? Maybe I just don't understand the purpose of it. I mean how it differs from other patterns? How it works? I checked the PureMVC source and it's full of Singletons. Why are they using them in the View, Module, Controller?

In the Singleton design pattern you can throw a runtime error if the instance has already been created. But this doesn't work when your singleton class extends another class and has to call super() in its constructor, because (for some reason) you cannot call super() if you've already called throw(), or in fact, you cannot compile code that has a potential call to throw() (for example, in an IF statement) that comes BEFORE that call to super().

if there is an option to refer to a layer as a named object. so if I have a layer named 'myLayer' I can to control about the alpha amount, for instance, of all the objects (symbols, movieclips etc.) that inside this layer or to move all those objects together as a one unit by some pixels.

I'm using AsUnit for unit-testing my current AS3 project. My Main() is basically:
if ( UnitTest )
runUnitTests();
else
runMainProgram();
where I change UnitTest before building depending on whether I want to run the program or run the unit tests. Is there a way that makes it easier to switch between the two modes?
Optimally, I'd use F5 for building with UnitTest=false and another hotkey for building with UnitTest=false. What is the closest I can get with FlashDevelop?

I have an xml file containing color values to be applied in a series of shapes in my swf. However, when I try to assign the values, it doesn't work, it recognizes only a string and assigns the value 0 to the colors.
Code:
//my_color.xml
<color_list>
<color_1>0xFFBB00</color_1>
<color_n>0xAA33FF</color_n>
</color_list>
The xml is then parsed into a variable called xmlColor.
//.fla
var c1:uint = xmlColor.color_1;
trace (xmlColor.color_1) //0xFFBB00
trace (c1) //0

I have a doubt,.... How would you create a Singleton class in Flex...
Is there any convention like the class name should eb Singleton or it should extend any other class.
How many Singleton class can a project have?
Can anyone say the real time usage of a Singleton class?
I am planning to keep my components label texts in a Singleton class... Is it a good approach.
