I want to guess the type of every argument from an anonymous function, something like mapping a class with reflection but just for a function, something like...
public function guessMyArgumentType(f:Function):void {
for each (argument:* in f.arguments) {
trace(typeof(argument));

Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var animTween:Tween;

I have figured out the following: Well, as you see the function moveStuff accepts three arguments, namely:
objectdurationeasingWhen easing has a default value, I get an error. But if it doesn't have a default value, then it works fine, the code would look like so then:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var animTween:Tween;

I have a movie clip in my library linked with a class name "MyClass", and I am trying to do something like this in Actionscript 3:
function createbtn(bclass:Class):void{
var addB:bclass = new bclass();
addChild(addB);
}
creatbtn(MyClass);
But, I get this error: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: bclass."
I have a function and it accepts an argument, it can be a MovieClip or an Array. How can I determine what the type is of the argument? I did an attempt, but it didn't work, my code currently looks like so:
Code:
var peopleArray:Array = new Array("Alfred", "Bob", "Casper", "David");
function myFunction (givenArray:Object) {
if (givenArray.dataType == Array) {
trace ("This is an array");
// do stuff where an array is needed
[Code] .....
In ActionScript 3 you can declare optional parameters like this:function (i:int = 0, s:String = "", o:Object = null):void { }So you can check if the user passed parameters s and o because you can test against the empty string or the null object if(s && o)...But how do you allow an int to be truly optional? What if all values for i are valid, including 0, negative and positive integers? And what if you want to enforce integer (not use Number?)what's the best practice here? the (...) rest may work but then you can't enforce a certain number of parameters at runtime, nor can you make for useful code completion?
View 3 RepliesHow do I execute callback functions dynamically by passing a function in as an argument to another function?
Look at this example:
Code:
package {
public class myClass extends MovieClip {
public function myClass(callback) {
[code]....
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i]
currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];

So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
Basically plots a dot wherever you click. Getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type Function.
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class particle extends MovieClip { //private var _xmouse:Number; //private var _ymouse:Number; private var mc1:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); private var mc2:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); private var mc3:MovieClip = new[code].....
I'm in the beginning stages of trying to understand AS3.Flash is outputting these two errors:1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Function.1120: Access of undefined property event_obj.

I want to write a function which has 2 dimensional array as one of its arguments
_global.getList = function ( type:Number, list[]:Array )
This is giving syntax error, if I do
_global.getList = function ( type:Number, list:Array )
Then there is no error, but then, list is now, single dimensional array, which I don't want. Whats the correct syntax to write it as two dimensional array?
I have recently moved from AS2 to AS3 and I am finding the transition fairly easy, however I do have a few questions, some of which may not have been possible with AS2 but I would like to achieve them in AS3
1. Is it possible to pass the name of a class as an argument in a function and then use it to create a new instance. e.g [code]
2. Carrying on from the previous question, if a class can infact be passed, can I specifying a variable type for the argument so that only classes and not instances will be accepted?
3. I have three class files that all inherit some functions and variable from another class called Ship. Is it possible to specifying a variable type so that the variable can only hold instances of classes that are inherited from the Ship class?

having some problems understanding how I can bypass function arguments without changing its default value. Here are some examples:
function myFunction ( arg1:Boolean, arg2:String="default string", arg3:Number=3 ):Array{ return new Array (arg1, arg2, arg3);}

Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked.So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods, like so:
Code:
// Define the Navigate function
function Navigate(myLabel){

Trying to migrate my way of thinking from AS2 to CS4/AS3. Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked. So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods (see CODE EXAMPLE 1) So, each button effectively calls the Navigate function, and passes a different frame label to the function. Now, I'm trying to recreate this functionality in AS3. As you all know, on(release) has been done away with (still don't know why), but we now have to use event handlers, so I'm trying to figure out a way to pass a different frame label argument to the Navigate function. Currently I can achieve that by using a switch statement to test which button was clicked, and act accordingly (see CODE EXAMPLE 2).
