This came up on this list recently and apparently it's not a great idea: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/136096
We're using Granite DS which *does* generate a mirror ActionScript Enum type, but apparently this approach is fraught with peril (because Flash--unlike Java--won't guarantee that you have only one instance of your Enum). I've reviewed our usage, and we're not doing anything where this would hurt us, but I can easily imagine problems. E.g., if you put your Enum in an ArrayCollection and later try to find it by using getItemIndex, but you pass a different Enum instance to getItemIndex, the ArrayCollection won't find it because it uses == to compare objects, and two separate instances of the same Enum are not ==. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: sunmoorthy1 <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:22:47 -0000 Hi, I am using BlazeDS for communicate Flex with java application.
