I have two similar Objects. I want to compare them to determine if they are different data-wise (see below), and if so, display what the difference is. To complicate things, let's say the Objects are totally anonymous - I have no knowledge of their structure, contents, cannot attach listeners, etc.Comparision turned out to be easy: I'm using the classic "Serialization" approach, which comes from Java:
ActionScript Code:
public function compareObject(obj1:Object,obj2:Object):Boolean {
// serialize the objects
var buffer1:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
[code]...
If the data in the objects is in any way different, the routine returns false... classic Byte-compare. Easy, fast, very efficient.Now here's my question: is there an easy way to determine WHAT the difference is? I'm thinking along the lines of some kind of change object or XML structure that says "This field changed value, that array got this item added, this property was removed, etc".I started playing with complex looping structure and iterators until someone pointed that some object fields/properties cannot be found via iteration.
I have to validate that 1) the end Date is not less than the start Date and 2) the difference between the two UTC Dates is not more than 12 months. To do this, I need a monthDifference function:
public static function monthDifference(start:Date, end:Date):int;
Since partial months can be confusing, this is how month differences are supposed to work:
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2010 is zero (0).
The month difference between January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010 is two (2).
How can I calculate month difference in ActionScript 3.0?

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

what's the difference between using Flex or Flash CS3 to develop AS3 projects?
View 8 Repliesmy understanding is that primitive types (uint, string, Number, etc.) of a class do not need to be set to null for garbage collection.
for example, i am not required to write this dispose() method in the following class:
package
{
//Imports
import flash.display.Shape;
[Code]....
if this is true, which i believe it is, what is the difference between objects of primitive types and objects of non primitive types concerning memory allocation?

Objects are send successfully, but they are deserialized to generic Objects in Flex instead of specific ones. EDIT: On network monitor in Flex I can see that AMF value is set to com.my.project.valueobjects.Constant. Although array from event.result contains Objects.

I will try to give as much detail as I can. I am creating an CRM application using Flex(Cairngorm 2)/Java/Hibernate. The basic problem I am having is this: I have a Customer class in Java that has an ArrayList of Address classes. I have a Customer class in Flex that has an ArrayCollection of Address classes. When I make the remote object call for a Customer I get back a Customer object in Flex, but the ArrayCollecion objects have a data type of Object instead of Address. If I try to call for a List of Address classes I get the same result. If I try to call for a List of Customer classes I get a list of Customer classes in Flex. Using tomcat 6 with the following jars:
