View 3 Repliesi'm working on converting an Action Sript class to C# and now i'm choosing a proper data types to replace ActionScript data Types ... and i wondered what is the best C# datatype to replace the Dictionary Datatype in Actionscript here's a sample code for example
public static const db:String = "http://dbpedia.org/resource/";
public static const rdf:String = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";

basically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

View 3 RepliesThrough an XMLSocket, I get a basic datatype as a String value, such as "int", "String", "Array", etc... I would like to instantiate a new variable of the specified datatype. Something along the lines of the following psuedocode:
Code:
function createVariable(type:String, value:*):void
{
var dataTypeRef:* = getDataTypeRef( type ); [code]......
is there a way to convert dynamicly?
that's the default way to convert a String:
var toVal:* = int("5");
var toVal:* = Boolean("true");
but I wan't to do this:
var type:String = "int";
var toVal:* = type("5"); // <<<<< how can I do this

How do I get the datatype of a variable? In this case it is pretty obvious, but I am trying to make a substitute for function overloading in a class.
I've imported a .mov file into my flash file. If I want to control that object via AS, what datatype is an embedded video?
View 5 RepliesHas anyone implemented a Set class in ActionScript? Specifically, a Set which is similar to Python's set implementation (unordered, unique, O(1) membership, etc). I'd like to be able to iterate over it using for each, perform operations like union and intersection and get a list of all the contained items... Which would all be possible to implement using Dictionary and Proxy, but I'd rather not reimplement it if someone's already done the heavy lifting.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to read the datatype of a vector?[code]...
View 1 RepliesThe title of this post may not make much sense, let me explain. I have a function:
findSurface(origin:Point, vector:Point, attempts:Number):Point The function has an obscure use, but the idea is thus: given those three arguments, returns a point IF the 'line' (created by the origin and vector arguments) intersects the object the function is called on. [but that is another story...]
More importantly, if there is no point of intersection at all, what should the function return? Void? Null? Undefined? Object? Or can I use one of those return types instead of Point incase the function does not encounter an intersection?
is there a method to return the datatype of a variable?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];
var theString:String = "I am string";
trace(gettype(theArray));
// In php gettype() is what I use to get the type. Is there a similar function in as3?
How exactly does the datatype checking of Vector work? The documentation states that an exception occurs at runtime if there was a wrong argument pushed to the Vector. However if I try this:
Code:
private var numberVector:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
...
numberVector.push(thumbnailInstance)
And then I trace it, I get NaN (cos it is a thumbnail ). However, no exception is being thrown.
What's happening in this simple piece of AS3 code? Why does my object change from TextField to the more generic DisplayObject?
public class Menu extends MovieClip
{
private var active_button:SimpleButton;
public function Menu()
{

how do we convert string which we get by reading a XML into date type instance value???
so there is a XML which has modifiedDate as an atribute on one node of the XML and how i do put that value into a variable of date instance??
the timeformat in the XML is: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss => 12/31/2010 23:57:46
i choose this time format because i want to use the .parse() method which still cause some error but this is for another topic..
is possible to convert a string to a date in actionscript 3. The program is simple, I need a user to enter a date using a text input field, then convert this to a date type in order to perform a calculation, the result of which is output to the user.
I have so far only been able to input and output a string. I can also output a date that is hardcoded, but have no way of using a date the user enters...
Here is my code:
//Add event listenter to button, when clicked call getInput method
btnGo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,getInput);
//Create an empty string variable

I want to convert a string to a date and I don't know how to do it. In my project, I load a XML file to get some date and compare them to the actual time, if the date is in the future I will add a movieclip to the stage with the info on that date, else it will do nothing.
Here is the code:
//--- load the date info ---
import flash.net.*;
var xmldate:XML;
var datelist:XMLList;
var loaderdate:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loaderdate.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, whendone);

And I have this error after running:
1120: Access of undefined property thedate.
