Actionscript 3 :: Bad To Prefix All Of Framework Class Names?
Feb 13, 2012
I develop a lot of frameworks for Flash games and applications. I have always prefixed my class names with a random character or two, to avoid conflict with class names that the developer may already have, for example: class LEntity Recently I had a co-worker blast me for poor and "annoying" naming of classes who then proceeded to rename every class in the frameworks I've created for people here to use. I'm having trouble explaining my reasoning thoroughly enough for him to accept what I've done as a good approach.
Is what I've done above actually a bad thing? If not, how can I explain otherwise? If so, why? Comments are asking about namespaces - I know AS3 in this example has what I know to be called a namespace but I'm not sure if this is the same thing or if it can be used as expected.

I have a website which has a swf as a horizontal menu. When the website is opened as[URL] the functionality of the swf does not work i.e. the links contained within the buttons aren't executed on click. However, if you enter the address as h[URL] the links work exactly as they should. I have contacted my host for clues but because I don't know exactly what I am asking for, the help offered is of a 'have your cleared your cookies' variety.

I am a newbie in Flex development and using Flash Builder 4 with SDK 4. Now I get the error that "the prefix "fx" for element "fx:Style" is not bound" in line number 4.I searched for it, and it has sth. to do with namespaces, but I can not solve it by myelf.I have the file called "UserStory.mxml" in the directory "components" to place it via the main.mxml onto the screen:
<fx:Script>

I have a component library. It has a manifest file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<componentPackage>
<component id="AutoComplete" class="be.edge.components.AutoComplete" />
<!-- more components left out for brevity -->
</componentPackage>
I compile the library through FlashBuilder with these compiler settings:
When I use the compiled library in other FlashBuilder projects everything works as expected. I get code completion and when I select a suggestion from the code completion a namespace attribute is automatically added to the component, like this:
<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:ns="library://ns.edge.be" >

Is there any way I can get a list of all the classes in a particular package?
I know getDefinitionByName, getQualifiedClassName, and getQualifiedSuperclassName in flash.utils can find me a class, but I can't find anyway to find all the classes in a package at runtime.

I have 50 movie clips in the Library that use Linkage to set the Class name to: Img1, Img2, Img3, ..., Img50. I have a parent class named RandImg. I want the constructor for RandImg to randomly select one of the 50 movie clips from the Library and display it. I could get this working by generating a random number, and then writing a really huge switch statement to associate each possible random number with its respective Library Movie Clip Class name, but I would much rather do this with a dynamic/variable class name based on the random number, such as:

I've got a linked class, with an external .as file, tied to a movie clip called "Menu" in an encompassing fla. In this actionscript file, I am trying to pull some information from a few things I made with the flash authoring tool. There are a few symbols on stage in the fla that I drew with instance names "greensboro" and "birmingham", and I want to get their x-position inside some functions of the linked class. I've tried returning a value from "greensboro.x" but of course it says the variable greensboro doesn't exist, because I haven't defined it in the class. Surely there is some way of getting that info in a variable of my linked class!
Edit: here is some code to show what I've tried(cutting everything else). This is in the .as file of the linked class:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code].....

MIX-ActionScript is my FLASH scripting language developed to confuse a small tool that can be function names, object names, variable names, class names and there is virtually no sense to change the strings, and at the same time very similar to the same time, this confusion is irreversible .Confusion after the code will bring some resistance to anti-compiled for your application security to provide protection.MIX-AS functional and ActionScript Obfuscator similar, unfortunately, this tool has not been updated.[URL]..

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

I have a rather large Flex SWF and am breaking it up into separate Modules. There is some overlap between the modules and I want to put all of this into one shared RSL. The problem is that this RSL gets really large as soon as I use any Flex code because it has to include the Flex Library.Flex Builder doesn't seem to give me the option to use the Flex framework RSL in a library. Also compiling with compc and passing the runtime-shared-library-path doesn't seem to actually use the rsl.So it seems like this is something that is unsupported? Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? Is it just not possible? Is this something that is likely to be supported in the future or already supported in Gumbo?

I was reading these days about large projects implementation in python and Flex, and very often people praise the use of framework (like Cairngorm, PureMVC or others) over traditional OOP coding.
I think i dont really understand the advantage of using FW, which is the strong point over classic programming? how big should be the project in order to use FW? it is intended mainly for web-applications? or can be used for desktop apps as well?

I am trying to use adobe flash builder 4 with a php service.I had it set up an older macbook running leopard, but just tried to set it up on my new laptop running snow leopard.I did all the same steps.. set the Flex Server to be PHP, set the web root and url.Then I go to Data->Connect To PHP and point it to a php file I have in my web root. It says it needs to install Zend, and claims it does so successfully, but then when I try to continue, I get an error.I don't understand.. this same setup works on my older laptop.
(Yes, I checked the amf.production was false)
Unable to retrieve operations and entities from the file
Make sure that Zend Framework is installed correctly and the parameter "amf.production" is not set to true in the amf_config.ini file located in the project output folder.code]....
