Flash :: ASDocs Omitting Private Members?
Feb 16, 2011I'm developing a framework for my coworkers and I'm having trouble documenting it.ASDocs as omitting the private members (even without @private directive).

View 1 RepliesI've worked with AMFPHP for a while, but with Adobe supporting ZendAMF, I was wondering if I should migrate.
One of the major disadvantages for AMFPHP is that class mappings need to be public, so not only does that mean public members on the PHP side, but also on the Flex side. I was wondering if it is the same case for ZendAMF.
Can ASDoc be set to document private members ala JavaDoc?
View 1 RepliesI have a class which deals with a lot of visuals, which essentially are movieclips. So I have around 50 privately declared movieclips in the class. Would it be a good idea to put them in a dictionary and retrieve them by their name (as key) , put them in an array or just leave them as they are?
My issue is the visual look of my class right now with that many private members, looks like a mess visually.
1.Is there any way to access the private data members of a class in action script using asmock framework? I tried using syntax likeContentPlayermockContentPlayer;Where in getContentPlayer is a private member and mockContentPlayer is alias am creating, but its not working well, I doubt whether I can do like this?

View 1 Repliesthere are classes definitions where all their methods are private my question is why are they private, because i've tried a code wherein i changed all the private access modifier to public and nothing changed!
what if you make an instance of that class with all its method private, how are you be able to access that on another class. coz i know private methods are only accessible to the class where they are declared! will the instance of that class be able to access the superclass's private methods!
on private variables, it's still not clear to me as to why make a private variable and then use a getter and setter, when you can simply make it public! are these variables called static?cause on the way i understand it private functions and private variables are static?
I can create SWC files. I can create ASDOCs.
Is there any way of combining this in Flash IDE or FlashDevelop? I would like the ASDOCs to "live" in the SWC.
here is a snippet of my code in an as file
ActionScript Code:
class PoolBall extends MovieClip {
private var poolBall:MovieClip;

Okay so you've got your private vars in your AS2 Class, you think they're all safe right? Wrong.
Doing a trace(MyClass.myvar); will spit out an error that the var is private and you can't touch it.
But a trace(MyClass["myvar"]); will work perfectly fine. You can use it normal, without any setters getters outside the class.
Is there a way to protect against this? I think this is a huge security flaw. I know it's simple OOP, but a private var in an object should have rules.
I have an API that inherits flash.display.Sprite .When I try to generate the ASDocs for the API, The ASdoc shows that my class inherits from flash.display.Sprite, but doesnt link or there is no click-able link to the Sprite's ASDoc. Can anyone tell me what I am missing.

is there a difference between classifying a function 'private' or 'private static' in a singleton? It seems that they both do the same thing. Maybe some difference in performance?

I'm running asdocs from a .bat file with flex sdk 3.2.0 (I have replaced my long project root folder with PROJECTROOT):"C:Program Files (x86)AdobeFlex Builder 3sdks3.2.0inasdoc" -source-path . "C:Program Files (x86)AdobeFlex Builder 3sdks3.2.0" "_PROJECTROOT_Componentssrc" "C:\_PROJECTROOT_assets" -doc-sources .PAUSE"Unforunately, I keep getting errors similar to this:"_PROJECTROOT_assetsstyles.css(344): Error: Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet - can't resolve source 'Embed(source = "close_button.png")'.downSkin: Embed(source="close_button.png");"I really don't understand this as "close_button.png" is in the same folder as styles.css. When I build the project from within flexbuilder, it compiles it fine and does not throw any errors.
View 2 RepliesI've always just assumed that all trace statements in your code do not get published into your final SWF.... but then i saw "Omit Trace Actions" in the Publish menu... So, my question is this... If i do not select the "Omit Trace Actions" in the publish menu, will :
1.) My SWF filesize be bigger?
2.) My SWF run slightly slower on my website? (because it is still tracing out the statements)
constructor function in a Class file. I've built several over my day and never heard a 'proper' answer about them. If your constructor function does nothing, not even set vars or listeners
ActionScript Code:
public function MyClass():void{
}
is it proper to keep it in the Class file or is it ok to leave it out completely?Or is this just something of preference? What do you guys think/do?
Let's say we have following class[code]...
In Flash Player runtime, is there a way I can get a list of all the static members of lass PlayerEvent.
Something like:
trace(PlayerEvent.staticMethods) // ["PLAYER_INIT", "PLAYER_MOVE", "PLAYER_USE_SKILL"]...
Is there a way to "reflect on" static members of an ActionScript object (get all the static properties/methods of that type programmatically)?
Why is that flash.utils.describeType(*) can only show non-static members?
i am loading a background bitmap into a sprite. after that i make this sprite draggable. now i would like to have a copy of this sprite where just the area with the non-transparent parts of the bitmap react to the click.
i know that i can determine if a pixel is transparent with the getPixel32() method, but it seems to be overkill to anylyze every pixel... or is it not?
The lineholder code below draws tickers on an axis for every 12th data point. It should also attach a year label every 12th data point. For this I have tried to use attachMovie. I've used it before and it's worked fine, but this code draws the line and omits the label (gives no error).
Code:
for (var a:Number = startPoint; a<_root.dataPoints[0].length; a++) {
if (b==12) {
//should attach date label
var myYear:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("mc_dateLabel","mc_"+a,_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:500, _y:300});

Just to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
// Semi Bold
[Embed(source="/fonts/Anvers/AnversSemiBold.otf", fontName="AnversSemiBold", fontWeight="normal", fontStyle="regular", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public static const ANVERS_SEMI_BOLD:Class;
I'm looking to create a flash game eviroment where a client's members can play each other in a realtime environment. Mostly trivia question type things, and maybe some shared animations. I've done this over RTMP before with a host that also provided video streaming, but I only need the Shared Object communications this time. does Shared Object communication take just as much resources as video to support?
View 1 RepliesI have flash (AIR) application running on a single controlled system (there is only one computer running it and nobody has access to it).I will host some files on Amazon's S3 and I need to make sure that only my flash app running locally on that computer can access those files.I'm wondering what the best (most secure) approach would be for doing this.My initial thought is to make the files on S3 private and store the secret key on the local computer running the flash app. Then when I needed to access the files from flash I would send out an authenticated query string with some expiration time. The only problem with this is that I don't know how to generate the S3 signature in flash. Also I'm a little skeptical about storing the secret key on the flash machine (even though it's a privately owned machine with no other users using it).Is there a better approach perhaps?I have access to a server with PHP, so I could maybe use that as some kind of proxy, I'm just not sure how while keeping the file access secure and not creating a bottleneck through the web server (as opposed to direct access to S3).
View 1 RepliesIs there a possibility that we can do that? for security reasons?been wondering for a day and I still haven't figured it out.

The errors are one line 123 and 128.I've googled the error, but I still can't fix it, it's got me baffled for an hour now! I've tried adding curly brace's but still same error. I left line 123 and 128 like this
function _update(e:Event):void

_helicopter.update(_mouseDown);
}
function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void

But I'm getting an error stating that _update is not defined
In Actionscript 2 I find that I cannot have a "private function set" without returning the error "A member attribute was used incorrectly." If I change it to "public function set" I'm fine but that defeats the goal of trying to protect the function from setting externally
View 2 RepliesI have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
View 1 RepliesI have a class ABC:
class ABC
{
var l:Label=new Label();
var m:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
}
Given an instance of class ABC, e.g. obj:
var obj:ABC=new ABC();
I need to access both obj.m and obj.l. Say m has an eventlistener fl_listen which gets triggered on a mouse click:
function fl_listen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var k=event.target;
}
Within this handler, I can access the MovieClip of ABC class. However, my requirement demands to access the object of Label in the ABC class too.
I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?
View 3 RepliesI'm working in CS4. I am trying to add 20 squares to the stage. Each square must have a different number in the middle(1, 2, 3, etc.).
This is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
Ideally, I would like the squares to be added automatically, with increasing numbers and 100 x 100 pixels apart. Possibly a 'for-loop' statement?
I have a class, ClassA which is a MovieClip. Inside of that I have about 20 other MovieClips that are associated with ClassB.
In my main timeline I have something like this, instantiating ClassA and then calling a setup function in it.[code]...
