Actionscript 3 :: List All Methods Of An Object?
Sep 30, 2010
How do I get the list of all methods from an object? I know I can get the object class in this way:
var className:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName( myObject );
var objClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName( className ) as Class;
In JavaScript I can iterate over the prototype of an object to get its properties and methods. Is that possible in ActionScript 3? Do you any good source for metaprogramming/reflection over ActionScript 3?

Is there a way in AS 3 to list all classes and their associated methods? Or at least a way to list the methods within a particular class?
It seems that it's all so overwhelming and although I'm well versed in Lingo and have a handle on the Lingo dictionary,I feel as though the AS 3 library is dauntingly big.

Does anybody know of a website that gives a full list of all as3/cs4 methods, properties, keywords, classes, etc?
I bought a book on beginning AS3, but it only introduces some properties and methods as it uses them in examples.

I am creating an object pool to cache some recyclable objects in memory at the outset of my application in order to avoid (as much as possible) the performance issues caused by GC running; if possible I'd like to minimize the memory my object pool reserves, so I'm attempting to pool generic forms of the objects (with no methods) and then casting the generic variants to more specific and complex object types which extend the generic form when I actually want them on the stage.
The trouble is that to do this requires the generic variant class to import/extend MovieClip (because the more complicated objects are themselves MovieClips and make use of DisplayObject methods)-- does simply importing and/or extending a class add to the memory an object takes up when instantiated even if it never uses methods from the inherited class? It makes sense that it would, and some light profiling seems to suggest that it does, but I'm not 100% certain. About how large should an 'empty' MovieClip instance be in bytes?

I'm recording and playing back mic input using Flash Media Server, and even though it's just audio, we're saving the output as FLV. I'd like to get a waveform of the recorded audio. Ideally, since we already have a lot of saved/recorded audio, I'd like something that can take a loaded FLV and get the waveform, as opposed to generating it at record or playback time.
AS3 has the new Sound.extract() method that can be used for this (plenty of online tutorials), but it seems like it only works for MP3. Is there a way to use this method on FLV audio? Or is there another to extract a waveform from a FLV?

So I am writing a program which uses Dictionary to store objects. For example
var dictionary:Dictionary=new Dictionary();
var myObject = new myObject(var1, var2, var3);
dicionary["key"]=myObject;
where var1, var2, and var3 are simply means of assigning values to variables in myObject.can I access values or functions that are found in myObject? In myObject class I have some getters and setters. Can I use a getter to get the value of var1 for example.
dictionary["keys"].getVar1()?

-I know one can call javascript functions from as3 using ExternalInterface, but in all the examples I've seen the function has been a standalone function on the page. Can methods on objects (that are on the page) be called. E.g: obj.someFunc() rather than just someFunc()?
-The return value can be stored as well using ExternalInterfaces. Can this return value be a javascript object? If so, its methods be called from it directly?

I'm having problems with my usual eval methods of creating objects to read off dynamic values programmatically using concatenation. I've found the set command doesn't seem to work with objects that are dynamic....
Code:
function createobject(item){
//create it and store something in it
set ("_root.item"+item.stored, "data storage test for item "+item);
}function checkobjects(){
for (i=1;i<5;i++){
checkit=eval("_root.item"+i);
trace("_root.item"+i+".stored="+checkit);
[Code] .....
Running this produces the output of...
Code:
_root.item1.stored=undefined
_root.item2.stored=undefined
_root.item3.stored=undefined
_root.item4.stored=undefined
How to do this - basically I'm trying to load data, then use that to create dynamic objects and values within it, then I'm trying to work with those values by again using loops to read off the dynamic values during runtime. Obviously if these were "fixed" variables, then it would be easy, problem is that its impossible to use the new Object() command with dynamic names!
Previously I've used this:
Code:
checkit=eval("_root.item"+i+".stored);
trace("value is "+checkit);
Is it my imagination, or was this stuff a lot easier to do in AS1?

I have a class file named Main.as and another class called icon.as
package {
import icon;
public class main {
public var _time:String;
function main() {
[Code] .....
How do I get the current update from the main class without calling the MainObj repeatedly. Is this possible in Flash AS3, or any other alternate method for this idea.

I am still very new to Actionscript and have an okay working knowledge of Flex. I am working on an AIR application that runs a SQLite database underneath. The database is only 3 tables (projects, items and types). I was wondering if Actionscript best practices are to use a data access object or layer to store all of my database functions or to just run them inline as needed. I would assume an access layer would be best for interacting with the database for usability, but I can't seem to find much documentation for SQLite in AIR.

Been doing some actionscript magic lately, done a nice interpolator class. The class, whenever an update occurs, calls a previously specified callback function. Normally, setting a variable of funCallback:Function and calling it works fine. However when I wanted to specify an *object's method* as the callback for the interpolator, it apparently called it as if it would be a static method.
And it isn't.What I need to do, simply speaking, is to be able to call an object's public method, having just th object's reference and function name, just like the second variant of setInterval does ( the one having "object, string" as the first two params, not "function").

Is there a way to make a display object always be at the top of the display list?For example, I know you can set the childIndex, i.e:setChildIndex(myDisplayObject, numChildren-1);But is there a way that an object has sensed that something else has been added to the display list and restack themselves accordingly?

I am having a hard time understanding for...in loops. I have seen David use it in his signature, and I understand what the loops is doing, but only from the context of the rest of the signature. If somebody could explain how the for..in loop works, I'd be greatful. Here's what I know:
PHP Code:
for (proprtyThing in objectThing) {
trace (proprtyThing);
}
My understanding of this loop tells me that if I run it, I'll get a list of all the properties of the object named objectThing....but this makes no sense to me!!

I want to know if anyone has successfully printed something from Flex.
By successful I am talking about some sort of report or document or whatever.
I know its fairly simple to print a component(which is a bit cheap) from Flex by using the printJob() class and passing a component. But I want to pass an object like a list or XML to printJob().

Suppose I have a list of objects of a certain custom type and I need to find an object given only the value of one of its attributes, how do I do it?
Eg.
// Where user1 ... usern are objects of some class User
users = [ user1, user2, user3 ... usern ]
// How do I find out the objects that have the "foo" attribute set to "bar"

I have an object that controls another object that is on the display list.
The setup looks like this:
Parent (Main Timeline)
- Child
-- Grandchild --> contains instance of behaviour class that controls the grandchild's movement
I have an event in the "behaviour" that I'd like to reach the parent, but the behavior does not extend Sprite or MovieClip.
How can I get this event to reach the parent?

I have an application that uses a main class to control other MovieClips, adding and removing them as needed, most of them are separate screens or sub menus.
When I leave the main menu and come back to it later from another screen, certain animations and roll over buttons still play, which I don't want, I basically need the main menu screen to reset every time it is seen.
I read up on this and found out that removing the child doesn't necessarily remove it from the memory.
I tried setting the mainmenu to null before moving onto a different screen but this threw up an error, stating that the parameter child must be none null.
how to completely kill my mainmenu when it is not needed.
public function confSubMenuOneScreen():void {
subMenuOneScreen = new SubMenuOne();
mainmenu = null;
[Code].....
This is the example of code that removes the menu and adds another screen, with the mainmenu = null code that throws up the error.

I stumbled upon the need to find out (inside Java code) which files are dynamically loaded by an SWF-file. Is there any possibility to get a list of paths of every object referenced inside? I tried out some libraries without proper documentation and gave up. Maybe there is an external tool which can be accessed by Java via command line?
