RE: [flexcoders] AS3 class constructors can't be private? Abstract classes?

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:33:08 -0800

My preferred singleton/pseudo-private-ctor pattern is to use a static function facade:
 
package {
public class Manager
{
  public static function x()
  {
    if (inner == null) inner = new ManagerImpl();
    inner.x();
  }
  private static var inner:ManagerImpl = null;
}
}
 
class ManagerImpl()
{
  public function x() {..}
}
 
If the facade gets too porky, you can use interfaces; make a public IManager interface in its own file, and have a "public static function Manager.getManager():IManager" function.  That way you can only get the "gateway" class, and file-external code can't create a ManagerImpl.

so even if i create a private class that is only accecible in that package (and then on package level declare a accesor for it) the only way i can be certain that class will only be created once is by having nothing else in that package. this does not seem right.

You have to simulate private constructors by having the constructor take a class that is inaccessible to other classes (namely putting that class in the same file as the singleton outside of the package block).  Unfortunately I believe the rule is that the constructor of the class has to have the same visibility as the class itself.  So public classes need public constructors, internal classes get internal constructors, etc.

abstract classes i am not expecting, private constructers i certainly hope for

Hi,

I was trying to migrate some classes from AS2 to AS3 and notice that can't mark the class constructor as private. Is that correct or there's a workaround? if not have plans to implement private constructors.

and abstract classes?

Thanks in advance.
