[flexcoders] [FLEX2:B3] I think that a variable of the Function type is passed by value, right?

[Bryan Choi]

Hi, all.   I'll show you some test code about the closure. You can see that 3 variables that is type of Function were assigned with foo() method. Genually, as you know, the primitive types is passed by value that is copied. So I think that this is also.   How about you think?     private function foo () : Function {     var i:int = 0;     function rectArea() : int { // function closure defined         return ++i;     }     return rectArea; } private function bar () : void {     var increaseCount1:Function = foo();     var increaseCount2:Function = foo();     trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() );     trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() );     var increaseCount3:Function = foo();     trace("increaseCount2 : " + increaseCount2() );     trace("increaseCount3 : " + increaseCount3() );     trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() );     trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() );     trace("increaseCount2 : " + increaseCount2() );     trace("increaseCount3 : " + increaseCount3() ); } bar(); // Output increaseCount1 : 1 increaseCount1 : 2 increaseCount2 : 1 increaseCount3 : 1 increaseCount1 : 3 increaseCount1 : 4 increaseCount2 : 2 increaseCount3 : 2 -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
