:/ Something like trace should be globalized (but somehow could be overrided). I guess I can't have everything. In MM's anti-method-globalization approach, it seems like a whole bunch of handy methods like...
trace() fscommand() getTimer() LoadVars.send() ...got kicked out of the global house and have no class of their own to call their home. So it seems they've been squished in with package definitions. Better than accessing static methods like DebugUtils.log() I guess. The reason why all of this is of any concern to me is that I am attempting to write solid AS2.0 today that has the potential to be migrated to AS3.0 tommorow. The reason why I havn't gone head first into AS3.0 is that my present target audience is Flash Player 7. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stan Vassilev Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 2:24 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Bizare...AS3.0 packages have methods? Well that's one thing I always wanted to do in AS2 so if it stays like this it'd be great. There are many functions that just perfectly without class in front of them (after you import the package). For example those you mentioned. When I was implementing my trace utils I was forced to import fmethod.debug.* and still having to type every time DebugUtils.log(); now I could just make it package method and type log(); ... it's great to have that Regards, Stan Vassilev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Spike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Bizare...AS3.0 packages have methods? It's a method of the package. When you create an AS 3 class you can put methods inside the package {} block, but outside any class definitions. I'm not sure why it works that way, but that's the way it works.
