Thanks. Searched my Outlook Express messages to no avail; I know it was already mentioned in another way, but gave up finding it. Running Flex in Debug mode just to see the classes is a pain in the arse.
She's getting stricter every month, bro, and it sucks. One of the weird things I started seeing Java developers do via AJAX is start learning about JavaScript's prototype property, and all of the magical things, like the below, you can do with a loesly typed language. Most of that is gone in AS3. Granted, you can still do some introspection, like for in loops, the new for each loop, but trying to dyanically asset privates: private var somePrivate1:Object; // outside class access someInstance["somePrivate" + 1]; Throws an exception... The compiler's even getting smart to see if you try to do that ahead of time on some instances. Thankfully, there is still Proxy which allows pretty much the same flexibility via a class structure. I think the only thing that can be said that is positive about AJAX is that if you miss prototyping hacking, you still have something to play with. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Raymond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 2:18 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Changing the properties of a Drag Proxy in Flex 1.5 (also AS3 type safety) Close, but no cigar. This will get you to the proxy you set via DragManager.doDrag: Object(mx.managers.DragManager)._dragProxy.proxyImage Of course it's still undocumented and unsupported. FYI, it's a very useful developer feature to be able to introspect and subvert the type system at runtime. It allows the brave to get around many limitations the library designers did not forsee. Is this behavior still supported in AS3? I vaguely remember they tightened up the meaning of private. Hopefully there is still a mechanism to expose even private properties (strangely even Java allows this via refelction). Sadly, I haven't been able to devote any time to Flex 2 beta. --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, but it's undocumented and unsupported. > > I think it's like _root["_dragProxy"], or > mx.core.Application.application["_dragProxy"]. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Eric Raymond" [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 2:49 AM > Subject: [flexcoders] Changing the properties of a Drag Proxy > > > Is there a way to change the properties of the dragProxy in response > to a drag event? > > For example can you change the size or scale of the proxy if you drag > it over certain targets? > > > > > > > > -- > Flexcoders Mailing List > FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt > Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com > Yahoo!
