I am trying to declare private variables that will be used elsewhere in my flex mxml main application. But I need to only create the variables when their is an equal number in my xml file.
My xml snippet looks like this:
<POIs>
<location>
<name>jane</name>
[Code].....
Is it possible to wait until the xml has loaded before declaring these variables?
I am trying to find a way to have text start in a specific column depending on the character count.
Basically our site will have 3 columns. For example if the text only has about 300 Characters - it would start in the right column. If it had between 301 & 600 characters - it would start in the middle column and run to the right column. If it had more than 601 characters - it would start in the left column and run to the middle then right column.
here is a snippet of my code in an as file
ActionScript Code:
class PoolBall extends MovieClip {
private var poolBall:MovieClip;

there 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?
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.
what if i wanted to create varioues grids, depending dynamically, i mean, that maybe one time there will be 3 next 4 stuff like that, and their x and y will vary to that, im recolecting data via php.
View 4 RepliesI need it in FlexUnit to test private methods. Is there any possibility to do this via reflection by using describeType or maybe flexUnit has some build in facility? I dislike artificial limitation that i cannot test private functions, it greatly reduces flexibility. Yes it is good design for me to test private functions, so please do not advise me to refactor my code. I do not want to break the encapsulation for the sake of unit testing.

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?

View 1 RepliesI try to serialize objects with their private attributes, in Flex.
The introspection API does not seem to allow it:
"The describeType() method returns only public members. The method does not return private members of the caller's superclass or any other class where the caller is not an instance."
Is there another way for an instance to know the name of its private members?

im trying to create a particlesystem where each particle moves by himself depending on which behavior has been assigned to him. But.. its slower than my grandma at the moment One thing I would like to keep though is the ability to change the behavior of the particle later on. Just have 2 classes (Particle & FlyAroundStage) at the moment and one that creates the swf.

Its just flying down to the right. I want to make this way more sophisticated later on but first in need to get the structure right because right now, even though its just flying in a straight path, its way too slow.

View 10 RepliesI have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file. However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10. This results in the following error, which is normal. I need the code to count the amount of items in the XML file and then create a for-each loop. I can visualize it, but I don't know how to write it. Basically what I need the code below transformed in to is this... (notice the #'s)

I've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play
Code below.
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;[code].....
I've found a simple count up script over on Actionscript.org
var count:Number = 0;
var maxNum:Number = 1250;
var num:Number = 1;
this.createTextField("txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 50);
[code]....
This works great for my use, but now I am trying to figure out how to make it count down. I've tried changing everything to opposites like count=1250 and maxNum=0 (I think this would be the minNum instead), count+=num to count-=num, and count>=maxNum to count<=maxNum.

I am trying to build a sort of button bar in Flex - something like the horizontally laid-out bookmark bar you'd see in most modern web browsers, where when you run out of horizontal space, you can click on the arrows button(>>) to get a drop-down to see the rest of the items which did not fit into the horizontal space. Problem is, how can I know how much horizontal space is available for me to tell how many buttons to render into the button bar? This need doesn't appear to be support by the general layout manager framework.
View 1 RepliesSuppose I've converted a vector image file (.AI/.SVG) to .SWF for ease of importing dynamically as the source of an Image in Flex.
To count colors now, I have to create a "new BitMap", then ".draw()" and iterate over all pixels and use ".getPixel()" to retrieve the color.
Unfortunately, because of anti-aliasing, this seems to return several more colors than what are actually used to draw the image (say, a black logo).
Is there a better alternative to doing this in Flex?
Could I see an example on how to count how many child nodes there are under a root xml tag in flex?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the PopUpManager to bring a bunch of event windows up.I want to make it so that only one window can be open at a time, but I don't see anywhere in the code that tracks open windows to set up a conditional. I guess it just creates the windows and then sets them free?Thinking about a windowCount variable that increments when I add a window and decrements when I remove one, but since the PopupManager is called in different classes I'd have to start throwing events all over the place. I can do that, but I'm wondering if there's a more straightforward method?
