Flash :: Passing Strongly Typed Object To Method Expecting An Interface
Jul 26, 2011
I'm running into difficulty passing a strongly typed object, AttractView, to another method, addView() which expects an IWizardView interface that AttractView does implement. When I pass it as-is (as shown below), I get the compile error CaptureApplication.as, Line 120 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type AttractView to an unrelated type IWizardView. Casting to either IWizardView or BaseView before passing yields a similar error at run time.
Is there a way i can Loop through the attributes of a strongly typed Object or just convert a strongly typed Object into a generic Object.I tried typecasting a Strongly typed object created using LCDS into a Object.But it just returned me a typed Object.
How would I create a strongly typed class at runtime (so to be able to create instances of it)? It can't be a proxy.
Additional Info: For example, say I want to create a Person class with first and last where both are Strings.
Context This is for an application that lets you create the data model and custom components at runtime. This is only part of it. I need to be able to have strong typing. If that means going to the server and creating a new SWF on the server with the value objects then loading in the definition at runtime then I would but that is a lot more work if there is an alternative.
I'm using Pyamf as my backend for my Flex app and I'm seeing some weird problems with the mapping of the stongly typed classes.[code]When I do that in Flex, I get my SouvenirAct objects are typed as they should be, BUT then the child souvenir objects are all null. So when I force the casting of the SouvenirAct objects in the return result, I get null for the child properties that are strongly typed.Has anyone see this before? Is there a different way I should be mapping classes?
Some may know that PHP methods can be remotely invoked from Flash.Sometimes the input parameter of a remote PHP method is an array of integers.Because PHP is dynamically typed an attacker can pass an array of anything.The array of integers has to be used in a SQL query.[code]
It's early days in my AS3 learning, and I'm looking for a little clarification regarding a variable typed to a superclass (in this case var mySpinner:MovieClip) which contains a reference to an new instance of a subclass (in this case Spinner.) I am trying to get my head around why my code compiles and runs and I am able to call the method rotater() on mySpinner even though mySpinner is typed as MovieClip, and the MovieClip class does not contain the method rotater().
On page 163 of the official Adobe Programming ActionScript 3.0 documentation it says the following, which I believe is related to my situation, but I am still in need of clarification: "Because each class defines a data type, the use of inheritance creates a special relationship between a base class and a class that extends it. A subclass is guaranteed to possess all the properties of its base class, which means that an instance of a subclass can always be substituted for an instance of the base class."
I'm trying to define interface in which one method (initPage) needs to have different arguments in every implementation. How can I do this? Using ...args for me is not good, because I'm loosing strong type checking.[code]
I have a issue where I'm working with a particular interface for quite a lot of things. However, I have a particular method that I want to be available only to a particular group of classes (basically, an internal method). [code]...
I need to send the list of user to the client swf. Once I initialized the User object collection to an array, array element is undefined when I read it from the client.
im currently working on a flash component (first time). I have an instance of my component dragged onto the stage. Played around with changing the different properties i made inspectable - so here it comes: The property (typed object) i would like to change can not be edited in the IDE. I have no plus icon to add a new name-value pair to the list

I am making a audio flash player which will play a sound passed to it.How can i pass the values from a browser url?like i have to write
[URL]
in browser and swf will parse it to play the file from the location passed as GET parameter 'file'. How i can do it in as i am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional with actionscript 3.0
I am loading various swf library component/classes during run time. All of these components have the function 'remove()' in them. Not all of these components are MovieClips, many extend Sprite instead. I have them in an array that I loop through and call remove() on each of them.
I would like to keep strict mode on if at all possible:
but I am wondering what happens if I type a class that extends Sprite as a MovieClip to avoid the compile time error in order to call the remove function on it?
remove() does things like remove all listeners, stop sounds playing etc and finally parent.removeChild(this);
I keep getting this error when I try to implement an interface:"Interface method bar in namespace Foo not implemented by class Test".As far as I know, I've correctly added all methods from the interface.[code]I'm using mxmlc.exe to compile in the flex sdk.
1. I am working on a project in ASP and I am making queries to a SQL db that returns data back in the form of xml. I am not in control of the db or how it returns data.
2. I process the XML within the ASP page and then I also process the data from within flash. I am therefore making two database calls for one page view.
3. I am trying to figure out if I can in anyway, pass an XML list from the page to flash so that I am making only one database call. The site is heavily hit and I am practically doubling the server load. Basically, the only way I think that may be possible is through javascript but not sure where to begin.
I got an object into a class (a public one) called "squaddie0", and when i try to call it back from another class dynamically with :the main_class is the passed class, i get the vars like this : main_class.var1r index:int = 0;var ob:Object = (getDefinitionByName(main_class["squaddie"+index]) as Object;I get an error as an undefined object...Why that ?
I know this should be very simple, but in following the examples I can find on passing parameters from HTML to my Flash App I have not been successful. I would like to find a relatively current example using AS3, Flash CS4. I need to pass the url of an XML file off to the flash app so that it can go pick up instructions on what it is supposed to be playing. We want to do it this way because we don't control the web site so we can't just leave the XML file on the server and maintain it as needed.
I'm relatively new to Flash and ActionScript and have a problem with the following code I'm putting together:
Code: // creating a new testmclip object var testmclip = new testmclip(); // creating a new testmclip object /* create a new pop up menu - sending the testmclip as var and "test" as label */ popupmenu = new Menu ([path: testmclip, label: "test"]);
I'm trying to send a movieclip object created in one class, to a different class - for the latter class to add as it's child. The code was originally Kevin Hoyts Android Component for Menu and MenuItem [URL] ... but in that the path for the menuitem was a path which loaded from url or relative path --> this I can't do with flash...I think.
I am trying to pass an xmlList from this class, and am having some issues. The thing is, how can I call a method that listens for a result, then calls another method..
i have an xml which contains 'interface' sub tag, iam converting xml to object using SampleXmlDecoder. compiler did not allow me to access the value of the 'inteface' attrible of the resultobject.

its treating interface as keyword. the solution for this.
I am trying to create a spark datagrid item renderer. This item renderer extends a checkbox, and implements IGridItemRenderer public class CellCheckBoxItemRenderer extends CheckBox implements IGridItemRenderer
When I implement IGridItemRenderer, I need to implement the interface methods, I am having a problem with the following methods:
I am currently just finishing a project and I am having a big time problem with an ExternalInterface call. My application runs fine but when the javascript call is being made from flash using external interface, IE is going from the "Done" message, to showing the "!" icon, with "error on page" as the message. There is no error that is showing up in Firefox.
The current error I am seeing is an 'Unterminated String Constant', which wouldn't be a problem except for that it appears on line 1... which is [URL]
i was wondering how you guys set up different projects that share an interface (interface object, not an UI element). i have several modules in separate projects that use an interface from the main project. right now i'm either doing it by copying and pasting the interface to the module projects or by adding the source path to the project.

I just keep getting this error (I don't know how can adobe give us errors that don't point to anything).
