ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert A String To A Variable?
May 15, 2010Can I convert a string to a variable?For example:
Code:
var left = -100;
toVar( "left" );
function toVar(side)
{
trace(side); // I want to trace out -100 instead of "left"

Flash :: Unable To Convert An Instance Of A Class To An Instance Of The Class's Subclass?
Sep 15, 2011I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?
