Actionscript 3 :: Test And Compare The Results Of The Changes?
Mar 6, 2010
I have a library that provides a reflection API on top of describeType() (a method that returns an XML object with all the specs of a class or instance). Since this library is used in several other libraries and frameworks.
The problem I'm facing is that I'm not sure about the best approach to refactor this libraries' code and make it possible to test and compare the results. I could easily add timers to the code, log the ouput and compare the results, but it seems like a lot of work to do this manually.How did you test and compare the results of the changes?Is there perhaps any testing framework (also non-actionscript) that helps in performance testing in such a scenario?
I have a flash quiz game, written in AS2, a few years old and needs some updating. I need to include a print button for at the very end, so the user can print out their test scores. I've found one script for the PrintJob Class, but it hasn't worked so far. [highlight=Actionscript]
btn.onRelease = function(){ var pj = new PrintJob(); var success = pj.start();
[code]...
What's the problem with this script; and alternatively, is there another way to print the results?
Nothing happens when i hit the send button can anyone tell why.... I just got off phone with web host provider and they do support asp and i do have the correct SMTP
I've got a suite of unit tests for my project (pure AS3), and they all work brilliantly outputting standard JUnit XML to the trace output window. However, when I tried to get my test suite running on our continuous integration server I ran up against a wall.Flash is a sandboxed beast, isolated from the file system. I can't see an intuitive way to get this generated JUnit XML in to our CI software so it can be verified as passing.
I've taken a shot at implementing the approach shown in Continuous Integration with Flex,but it relies on reading trace output logged to flashlog.txt that is prone to failure on many fronts (debug player must be installed, flashlog.txt must be created, mm.cfg file must be configured properly). Also, I find that some of the time it fails to find the results in the flashlog and the build fails despite all the tests passing. This could be because I have too many tests and some are being pushed out of the log file.
The dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{ var id:int; var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) { gotoAndStop("scene1",2); } second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){ gotoAndStop("scene2",2); }
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?
I've two Combo Box(cbFirst & cbSecond). I want to compare the value that has been selected by the user and based on the result, output is displayed. In both Combo Box I've provided the value.Here is my code:
var a:Number;var b:Number; function First(evt:Event):void{ a = evt.target.value; trace(a); }cbFirst.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, First);
With 5 variables consist of a value, I would need to check if any value between fa to fe has a gap of 6 in integer as in f1=1, f2=0, f3=0, f4=7, f5=10; and between f1 and f4, which has a gap of 6.
I need to compare a random numbers of XML files, sometimes is 3 and others 500, the swf need�s to loop the entire directory and check each XML to see if the TAG inside of it it�s equal to the SWF filename, here�s what I got until now.
ActionScript Code: var file_name_only:Array = _root._url.split("/"); var file_swf:String = file_name_only[file_name_only.length-1]; //var file_swf='6723.swf'
I'm a AS3 beginner and are trying to make a nowplaying script for a local station where I do some work as volunteer.
The xml script that is created looks like [code]...
What I wanted to create is that flash takes information from the xml, the artist for example and compares this every 15 second with value it already has. If it's equal then do nothing else unload xml and movieclip and reload the new one.
how to compare one text field with another? I would like to compare the words or word count and compare their uniqueness, like, the sentence in one field "We love Flash", and a sentence in the other field "We like Flash" would return a 33% uniqueness.
I have an Array retrived from XML via xPath. I then compare one bucket with a string and dont get the result i want. It seems that the XML string isn't really a string.
I have four objects with a .speed property. I want to compare all four and snag the object with the lowest speed. That alone I can get a grip on no problem. But, it's quite possible that 2 or more of the objects could have the same lowest speed. Here's where my ideas start to get muddled and rather involved. Compare two, toss the lowest in an array, if equal toss them both in.Compare the third to the array, if it's lower replace the existing item(s) with this one, if it's equal add it.Do a similiar thing with the fourth.To do all that I can't think of anything but a boatload of IFs and nested IFs.
Okay in AS2 I had an array of Points. And I sorted it like this: myArray.sortOn(["x", "y"],[Array.NUMERIC, Array.NUMERIC]);I was changing the code over to AS3 and I thought I would change my array into a Vector of Points. But then I realized there isn't a sortOn method for Vectors.The sort method takes a compare function and I think I have that working. But I was wondering if there is a better or cleaner way of writing compare functions?[code]
Let's say I have created a class named Store. This class has several elements such as Name, PhoneNumber, Owner. I've created 2 instances of this class and want to know which values are different. So lets say that Store1 and Store2 are instances of this class.
Is there a way to automatically loop through all elements of a class instance and compare them to the same element in another class instance and return something when they differ?
