View 2 RepliesI have the following code in actionscript 3:
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.retornamenu();
The bridge is a remote object, instantiated. The retornamenu() is the function that I want the remote object open in amfphp.
However the retornamenu() is a dynamic function, which turns another function, but I can not run it at runtime,
example
var stringfunction:String = "retornamenu()" // this name is dynamic.
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.stringfunction;
But this way does not work, not perform the function retornamenu();
I need to get the value of the item clicked and the name of the columns.[code]But this way it returns 'undefined'.But if I put the name already in function, I can get the correct data, example:Alert.show(''+datagridlist.selectedItem.create); // create is a column name in mysql.But this variable must be created dynamically, example:[code]I'm at it on time and I can not convert the string to column name.

View 2 RepliesPremesis:I am using actionscript with two arraycollection containing object with value to be matched...Let's assume I have two list of elements A and B (no duplicate values) and I need to compare them and remove all the elements present in both, so at the end I should have
in A all the elements that are in A but not in B
in B all the elements that are in B but not in A
now I do something like that:
for (var i:int = 0 ; i < a.length ;)
{
var isFound:Boolean = false;[code].....
I cycle both the array and if I found a match I remove the items from both of the array (and don't increase the loop value so the for cycle progress in a correct way).I was wondering if (and i'm sure there is) there is a better (and less CPU consuming) way to do it...

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.
In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.
For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com
If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.
Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

View 2 RepliesI am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -

We create Objects in flex by declaring type Object. for example
var objSampleObject:Object = new Object();
and we create properties directly with dot operator without creating any class
[Code].....
My question is in above process is there any class is created internally by flex?
