RE: [flexcoders] filter operator

[Gordon Smith]

If '-thisObject' and 'arguments' are arguments you are passing to a method named 'handler', then you shouldn't have a dot before the left parenthesis in the method call. foo.(condition) is the E4X notation for predicate filtering of an XML or XMLList instance. It lets you pick out elements or attributes that meet a condition you specify using a Boolean _expression_, as in     employees.employee.(@ssn == "123-45-6789") This is why the error message is complaining that you are using the "filter operator" on 'handler', which is a Function, not an XML or XMLList instance.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Roman Protsiuk Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 6:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] filter operator   Error that is throwed when trying to do something like overloadHandler.handler.(_thisObject, arguments); looks like "TypeError: Error #1123: Filter operator not supported on type builtin.as$0.MethodClosure ." Strange thing is that there is nothing about this "filter operator" in the help system. Except for the Error code in the list of errors.
