Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically capture and display the name of the
currently executing function in the Output panel
Yep only in debug player.
Annoying as this was perfectly possible in as 2 (and easy as well). No good
way in as3 though.
Here is one method beside throwing an error and parsing the stack, but it
has to be improved, just show the basic idea (which is kinda the same as in
as2):
private var d:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
public function TestOne():void
{
var methodNames:Array = getNonstaticAccessors(TestOne);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < methodNames.length; i++ ) {
d[this[methodNames[i]]] = methodNames[i];
}
init();
}
public static function getNonstaticAccessors(classOfInterest:Class):Array
{
var xmlDescriptionOfClass:XML = describeType(classOfInterest);
var nonstaticAccessorsXML:XMLList = xmlDescriptionOfClass.factory.method;
var accessors:Array = [];
for each (var accessorXML:XML in nonstaticAccessorsXML) {
accessors.push(accessorx...@name);
}
return accessors;
}
public function init(e:Event = null):void
{
trace (d[arguments.callee]);
}
Only works for public methods though, private methods have to be registered
explicitly.
I think that a utility to parse the bytecode and add this information on the
fly should be possible though:)
regards,
JC
