ActionScript :: Xml - Setting Object Properties From Other Object Properties?
Jun 25, 2010i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Parameters Of Generic Object?
Mar 4, 2011Is there a way out there to essentially loop through a generic object to find out what parameters/properties are being used and/or what there names are?
ActionScript Code:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.foo = "hello";
obj.bar = "world";
//... and on for however many params you need
[Code] .....
I might be trying to do something that is essentially not possible, but I'm just thinking it would be very nice sometimes to access different parts of an object without having to directly know what the param name is...
Actionscript 3 :: Flex 3: Determine If A Generic Object Is Actually A Button?
Aug 7, 2009I have this bit of code, and it's not working as I expected. btnContainer is a VBox that contains a ton of buttons (toggle=true); and I want to reset them to un-toggled at a certain point.
for (var btn:Object in btnContainer.getChildren()){
if (btn.isPrototypeOf(mx.controls.Button)){
btn.selected = false;
}
}
With the above code, "btn" shows up as just the index during each iteration of the loop (0,1,2,3,...), and the conditional never evaluates to true.I also tried this:
for (var btn:Button in btnContainer.getChildren()){
btn.selected = false;
}
This works fine, except that there is also a label inside btnContainer; so it throws an error when trying to cast the label as a button.
Flex :: Creating Dynamic Object - Generic Component
Mar 27, 2012I want to create a generic component in flex. This component deals with different ArrayCollections dynamically (I want it in that way). So I thought to pass the arrayCollection and the type of that arrayCollection as arguments to the component.
Like,
var list:ArrayCollection<ClassA>;
init_Comp(list, "ClassA");
If it is possible, I can read it like this,
var newDynamicInstatnce: typeOf("ClassA") = list.getItemAt(0) as typeOf("ClassA");
Finally I have a Dynamic Instance type of that I pass. Is this possible in Flex or Is there a better way?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Generic HitTest - Detect Collision With One Object
Oct 13, 2005Right now I'm working on an advanced hitTesting engine, and What I'm trying to do here is create an engine that will detect collision with one object instead of two. That basically means that if any other objects touch this movie clip, the hitTest will return True. Right now the .fla containing the engine has nothing but a circle that can be moved using arrow keys and 8 squares that disappear when touched by the circle. Obviously, I could do something like:
if (circle.hitTest(square1)) {
do so and so
} else if (circle.hitTest(square2)) {
do this and that
} etc...
But that would be too long, since the engine has to be able to contain 100 squares without too much change in the code.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Trace The Properties Of An Object's Properties?
Jan 30, 2008I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Adding Properties To An Object / Specifically Arrays
Nov 26, 2010I'm fairly new to AS3. In AS2 I often used objects to store properties so I can creatre them dynamically and refer to them later.Sometime I use an array as a property. I am wondering if my method of doing this is the best way, or if AS3 has other methods that might be better suited.In this case I have an object that stores properties like ID no. and I also want to store an array of sub properties which are in array.[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Generic Object Property "undefined"?
Mar 26, 2007I've been having trouble with a simple generic object. I took this example from the file : var myPoint:Object = {x:50, y:20}; When I paste it into a new flash file and trace it, I get x = 50 and y = 20 . As expected. When I paste it into a file I have been working on, in the root, on it's own layer, I get "undefined" for the x & y properties. There are no other variables in my file called "myPoint".

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Object Properties From Object Array?
Nov 11, 2007I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code]....
the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Make XML And Flash // Object Or Number?
Nov 10, 2004ok, when I trace a certain variable: trace(numButtons) Display: 12 (which is getting it's value from a node in an xml document) owever, when I do: trace(typeof numButtons) it gives me an Object.How come I'm tracing a number but when I "typeof" it, I get an Object. The problem is, I can't use this variable as a subsitute for my number and it's messing up my functions.

Flash :: Wire Different Backend Solutions Into A Generic API?
Feb 25, 2011I have to produce a generic API that provides game tracking functions (track what was clicked, track if a certain event occurred, etc). This generic API needs to wire into one of two (or more) bespoke tracking solutions provided by third parties (e.g. itracku.com and itrackutoo.com) in the background.The bespoke tracking solutions sport similar functions (trackClick, trackEvent), but vary dramatically in the number of arguments they require (e.g. one requires 1 argument to be passed, the other 6).In order for the generic API to easily switch between hitting either bespoke solution, am I right in assuming that ALL arguments need to be scoped out beforehand in order to facilitate switching tracking solutions? The desire is to NOT have to recomplie .swfs in order to switch tracking solution (i.e. it's switched via an XML config). I was thinking of achieving this by having my generic API functions accept a single object as an argument, e.g.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Your Own Properties For An Object?
Sep 11, 2008Back in the day (AS2), I used to create what I called an"ivar" property that collected the index of a series of buttonsthat were clickable (see attached code). Imagine 10 buttons on thestage with names (selectButton0, selectButton1, ...selectButton9).The code under the //----------BUTTONS header would make a propertyof the button that was clicked, call it "ivar" and then send it upto a function that would use it as an index to then load theappropriate content with MovieClipLoader (remember that Class?).I have tried something similar in AS3 without any luck sincethe whole button thing is now steered by events. Does anybody knowan elegant solution that would achieve a similar result. That is,click a button called "selectButton0" and have returned the zero asan index variable that could be used further?

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!!
