Re: [Flashcoders] objects can't delete themselves right?
Actually, the output makes perfect sense.
The object foo was only storing a reference to the unnamed function that
traces I still exist.
When you called delete on foo, you only deleted the reference and not the
unnamed function. It is NOT orphaned because you previously assigned bar to
the same unnamed function. Even so, why bother? flash's GC is capable of
sweeping orphaned unnamed functions. (every time you call
some_movieclip_mc.onEnterFrame = undefined; for example)
I'm not sure if the delete operator works on function objects, but by all
means try delete _root.foo.hello instead...
and for more about flash's GC see

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought objects could not delete

reference to that function before you delete it, that function is
orphaned and will never be cleaned up by the GC. Am I wrong?
I have a trivial test to demonstrate what I'm seeing. I create an
object (foo) and have a method of foo delete foo. Before it does,
though, I create a reference (bar) to another method of foo (hello).
After I call foo.bar, it says the object and its functions are
undefined, but the reference to the function still works.
foo = {};
foo.del = function()
{
delete _root.foo;
};
foo.hello = function()
{
trace(i still exist);
};
bar = foo.hello;
trace(foo = + foo);
trace(foo.bar = + foo.del);
trace(foo.hello = + foo.hello);
foo.del();
trace(foo = + foo);
trace(foo.bar = + foo.del);
trace(foo.hello = + foo.hello);
bar();
Outputs --
foo = [object Object]
foo.del = [type Function]
foo.hello = [type Function]
foo = undefined
foo.del = undefined
foo.hello = undefined
i still exist
I'm not understanding what's going on here.

[Flashcoders] DropShadowFilter failure
Hey List, I recently had DropShadowFilters that randomly failed when applied via AS2 to a MovieClip with a BitmapData attached. It looks like if I had about 4 or 5 BitmapData images attached, one random MovieClip with the filter wouldn't show anything at all until it was forced to redraw by messing with xscale and yscale. I worked around it by applying the filter to the BitmapData directly, but I'm curious as to the cause... anybody encounter something similar? Was I maxing out flash player's bitmap memory limit or something? (for the time being I'm blaming the resource hog / kernel hack called norton internet security 2007 that management insisted on installing... =P) thanks, Jonathan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] preventing scientific notation
That may be true, but flash and any other program is still limited by the IEEE floating point specs double precision limits. Flash cannot internally represent 21 digits without resorting to scientific notation. If you add a stray '1' to your 21 digit number as the least significant digit you'll find that the number is not changed. i.e. var number1 = 10; var number2 = 11; trace(number1 == number2); // traces 'true' depending on how you're communicating with the server, you may have to stream it in as binary data and write your own 'bigint' (like java) class to parse it, or use a server side script to parse it into a string format for flash.
