I have a function in my flash AS3 file. I'd like to pass a parameter when calling this function and have that parameter become the name of a new FLV playback component I'm declaring;
function newVideo(myVideoName){
var [myVideoName]:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
}

I have to convert one string type field to date datatype in flex.
View 3 Repliesi'm working on converting an Action Sript class to C# and now i'm choosing a proper data types to replace ActionScript data Types ... and i wondered what is the best C# datatype to replace the Dictionary Datatype in Actionscript here's a sample code for example
public static const db:String = "http://dbpedia.org/resource/";
public static const rdf:String = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
public static const skos:String = "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#";

Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
so as my title says. I'm wondering if specifying the datatype in actionscript 3 on variables actually makes code run faster

How do I get the datatype of a variable? In this case it is pretty obvious, but I am trying to make a substitute for function overloading in a class.
I've imported a .mov file into my flash file. If I want to control that object via AS, what datatype is an embedded video?
View 5 Repliesbasically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

Has anyone implemented a Set class in ActionScript? Specifically, a Set which is similar to Python's set implementation (unordered, unique, O(1) membership, etc). I'd like to be able to iterate over it using for each, perform operations like union and intersection and get a list of all the contained items... Which would all be possible to implement using Dictionary and Proxy, but I'd rather not reimplement it if someone's already done the heavy lifting.

View 3 RepliesThrough an XMLSocket, I get a basic datatype as a String value, such as "int", "String", "Array", etc... I would like to instantiate a new variable of the specified datatype. Something along the lines of the following psuedocode:
Code:
function createVariable(type:String, value:*):void
{
var dataTypeRef:* = getDataTypeRef( type ); [code]......
The title of this post may not make much sense, let me explain. I have a function:
findSurface(origin:Point, vector:Point, attempts:Number):Point The function has an obscure use, but the idea is thus: given those three arguments, returns a point IF the 'line' (created by the origin and vector arguments) intersects the object the function is called on. [but that is another story...]
More importantly, if there is no point of intersection at all, what should the function return? Void? Null? Undefined? Object? Or can I use one of those return types instead of Point incase the function does not encounter an intersection?
is there a way to convert dynamicly?
that's the default way to convert a String:
var toVal:* = int("5");
var toVal:* = Boolean("true");
but I wan't to do this:
var type:String = "int";
var toVal:* = type("5"); // <<<<< how can I do this
is there a method to return the datatype of a variable?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];

How exactly does the datatype checking of Vector work? The documentation states that an exception occurs at runtime if there was a wrong argument pushed to the Vector. However if I try this:
Code:
private var numberVector:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
...
numberVector.push(thumbnailInstance)
And then I trace it, I get NaN (cos it is a thumbnail ). However, no exception is being thrown.
What's happening in this simple piece of AS3 code? Why does my object change from TextField to the more generic DisplayObject?
public class Menu extends MovieClip
{
private var active_button:SimpleButton;
public function Menu()
{

This question is simliar to [URL].. I'm posting this because its more focused and deals with a single aspect of the broader issue.
I have been following the samples code of Foundation ActionScript 3.0.
I have imported a jpeg into Flash CS3 IDE Library and Exported(Linkage) it to be used in action script by giving a class name 'Image'. And when I am trying to compile the file its showing error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. and 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Image to an unrelated type flash.display:Bitmap.
How to attach the jpeg to the stage as a Bitmap datatype using as3..

View 1 RepliesForgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."
I'm getting occasional ConcurrencyError faults when using HTTPService in Flex 3. I have four HTTPService objects, all configured with concurrency=single. I'm not sure though how to continue to diagnose, as I don't see in the FaultEvent what service object caused the issue, and I can't easily reproduce it on-demand.
One feature of my app is that I am also using a URLRequest to load a sound shortly after receiving a result from one of the HTTPService calls. Could this be related to the concurrency error?
The fault looks like this:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Attempt to invoke while another call is pending. Either change concurrency options or avoid multiple calls." faultCode="ConcurrencyError" faultDetail="null"] messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2]
