I've never heard of an OOP design pattern called Flair. From the class you've pasted, it looks like a novice attempt at implementating a design pattern known as Decorator.
Perhaps they were trying to be funny with a reference to the movie Office Space where buttons decorating a TGIFriday's uniform were called Flair? I know that comedy helps when teaching dry material, but renaming a design pattern like that seems to me to be confusing at best. At any rate, here is a link to a description of the Decorator pattern. It should get you on your way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern > > SNAPFLAIR CLASS > Implemented as a Singleton > > class SnapFlair { > private static var _obj:SnapFlair; > > private function SnapFlair() {} > > /** > * @param target The MovieClip being 'flaired' > * @param source The source of the event > that the flair > functionality is listening for > * @param eventName The name of the event that the > flair is listening > for > */ > public function snapOn( target:MovieClip, > source:Object, eventName:String ) { > target.mc.$snapFlair = new Object(); > target.mc.$snapFlair._obj = target; > source.addEventListener( eventName, target.$snapFlair ); > target.mc.$snapFlair[eventName] = onEvent; > } > > public static function getObj():SnapFlair { > if (SnapFlair._obj == null) { > SnapFlair._obj = new SnapFlair(); > } > return _obj; > } > > public function snapOff( target:MovieClip, > source:Object, eventName:String ) { > source.removeEventListener(eventName, target.$snapFlair) > delete target.mc.$snapFlair; > } > > public function onEvent( evt:Object ) { > // do stuff > } > > public function toString():String { > return "Class SnapFlair"; > } > } > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] > To change your subscription options or search the archive: > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software > Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training > http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com > _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
