[Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
Hey, FlashCoders.
I'm wondering if you can help me out with a general style question that I
keep running into. Let's say I've got a setup like this...
class MyGame extends MovieClip
- It creates a camera sprite that I can add children into
- It then creates a Bouncing Ball object with the camera sprite as
the parent to use.
class BouncingBall
{
public function BouncingBall(parentToUse:DisplayObjectContainer)
{
// Create member variable _mySprite:Sprite and add it to my parentToUse
//...
}
}
For reasons I won't get into unless you're really interested, BouncingBall
does NOT extend Sprite, it simply contains a sprite.
So MyGame has a camera as a child. That camera has my bouncingBall._mySprite
as a child.
The question is this: I want the BouncingBall sprite to occasionally call a
function in MyGame. What's the best way to do this?
*Option 1:* Within BouncingBall, just call...
MyGame(_mySprite.root).foo(_myVar);
This works, but it strikes me as a little unnatural, since I have to dig
into my member variable and get its root. Also, I'm not sure this works if
my game were to be imported by some larger, wrapper class.
*Option 2: *My constructor for BouncingBall should contain two variables
public function BouncingBall (var parentToUse:DisplayObjectContainer, var
gameApplication:MyGame)
I store gameApplication as a member variable, and use it later...
_myGame.foo(_myVar);
This is my current solution, but the idea of passing a parent and the game
application to the constructor strikes me as slightly redundant, and, like
Option 1, it tightly couples my BouncingBall object to my main application.
*Option 3:* I create a custom event, dispatch that event, and create a
listener in MyGame rather than call a function directly.
I'm guessing this is the best way to go theoretically, and will allow me to
reuse my BouncingBall object in other applications, but it's a lot of extra
code, and I constantly worry about not property cleaning up event listeners.
I'm sure all of you have encountered this situation before. So what do you
generally do? Is there a fourth, totally obvious option that I'm
overlooking?
Thanks!

Hands down, your option 3 is what you should do. So what if it's some extra code? It's the right way to accomplish this. Your object should not target and call methods in other classes outside of it, that's extremely tight coupling, which is bad. So have your bouncing ball sprite dispatch a custom event, have the other class listen for that same custom event and do whatever logic you want, like call another method. It's not messy if you keep your code clean. It just takes practice of doing this a lot before you realize an architecture emerges in your coding you are familiar with. I think its even messier to do option 1 or 2, if that makes you feel any better.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
Option 3! Always opt to use event based architecture. It promotes loose coupling of your components. Although it might be a bit more code, you will be able to use BouncingBall within many games, or other applications.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
My preference is usually option 3, using an event. It means you can use
your ball in other situations, where that call back to the root may or may
not be necessary. Regarding cleaning up references in event listeners, you
can use a weak reference when you call addEventListener(). Also, I often
find that existing flash or flex events match the nature of what I want to
express, so I re-use theirs sometimes which saves writing a new event class.
Option 4 would be to make MyGame implement some interface (Game? IGame?)
which specifies that function. Then the BouncingBall constructor is passed
a reference to the interface instead of the whole MyGame class. Same as
option 2, really, but this way it's plausible that you would implement the
interface with some other game-like class and use BouncingBall in that.
Option 5 would be to pass a Function reference into the constructor of
BouncingBall. This is very generic, like the event solution, but has a few
downsides: 1) function specifications are not maintained by the compiler
when you pass Function references, so if you write a bug into the call of
the function, you'll get a run-time error instead of a compile-time error.
2) Exactly one object can listen for this function call, unlike an event,
which can be listened for by any number of clients.
I often use Option 5 for success and failure callbacks when something won't
complete right away.

Hey, FlashCoders.
I'm wondering if you can help me out with a general style question that I
keep running into. Let's say I've got a setup like this...
class MyGame extends MovieClip
- It creates a camera sprite that I can add children into
- It then creates a Bouncing Ball object with the camera sprite as
the parent to use.
class BouncingBall
{
public function BouncingBall(parentToUse:DisplayObjectContainer)
{
// Create member variable _mySprite:Sprite and add it to my parentToUse
//...
}
}
For reasons I won't get into unless you're really interested, BouncingBall
does NOT extend Sprite, it simply contains a sprite.
So MyGame has a camera as a child. That camera has my
bouncingBall._mySprite
as a child.
The question is this: I want the BouncingBall sprite to occasionally call a
function in MyGame. What's the best way to do this?
*Option 1:* Within BouncingBall, just call...
MyGame(_mySprite.root).foo(_myVar);
This works, but it strikes me as a little unnatural, since I have to dig
into my member variable and get its root. Also, I'm not sure this works if
my game were to be imported by some larger, wrapper class.
*Option 2: *My constructor for BouncingBall should contain two variables
public function BouncingBall (var parentToUse:DisplayObjectContainer, var
gameApplication:MyGame)
I store gameApplication as a member variable, and use it later...
_myGame.foo(_myVar);
This is my current solution, but the idea of passing a parent and the game
application to the constructor strikes me as slightly redundant, and, like
Option 1, it tightly couples my BouncingBall object to my main application.
*Option 3:* I create a custom event, dispatch that event, and create a
listener in MyGame rather than call a function directly.
I'm guessing this is the best way to go theoretically, and will allow me to
reuse my BouncingBall object in other applications, but it's a lot of extra
code, and I constantly worry about not property cleaning up event
listeners.
I'm sure all of you have encountered this situation before. So what do you
generally do? Is there a fourth, totally obvious option that I'm
overlooking?
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
Agreed on Option 3. Custom event inclusive of whatever kind of data you want to send to the associated listening method. I think I whip up custom events more than almost anything else. - Eric On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Nate Beck n...@tldstudio.com wrote: Option 3! Always opt to use event based architecture.

[Flashcoders] Re: Flash CS3 DataGrid wordWraping in a cell (Sidney de Koning)
Sid:
Make a class that extends the CellRenderer class and.
..ack its quicker to show you the code. See below. This will do it for you.
package {
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;
// make a cell renderer class that allow wrapping of text
public class MultiLineCell extends CellRenderer
{
public function MultiLineCell()
{
// constructor
textField.wordWrap = true;
textField.multiline = true;
textField.autoSize = left;
}
override protected function drawLayout():void
{
// allow text to flow according to column width
textField.width = this.width;
super.drawLayout();
}
} // end of class
} // end of package
Now just assign it to the required column. Ie:
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(5).cellRenderer=MultiLineCell;

Yup - me too - in fact, in FlashDevelop, I have a nice event template in the
form of a code snippet for a new custom events I use all the time:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class extends Event
{
public static var :String = ;
public function (type:String, bubbles:Boolean=false,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
Additionally, you should take a look at what the code is doing.
Why does Bouncing Ball have to call something in the parent?
Is it some sort of notification? (I've finished animating/I've hit a
wall!). In which case an event is definitely the right solution.
Is it to gain information of some sort? In which case, an event won't
do it. Consider passing that information in at creation of the ball.
If that doesn't make sense - you need to query something in the parent
at regular intervals - consider whether the code inside BouncingBall
really belongs in BouncingBall. Are you sure whatever it's doing
shouldn't be in the parent class instead? Think about black box models
- for example, if it's calling the parent to query about collision
detection or some such, it's not the ball's _job_ to know whether it's
collided with anything; it's the parent's.
If you really need to talk to the parent/regularly fetch changing
information from the parent and it _is_ the ball's business to do it,
I'd be looking at using interfaces if I wanted everything to be
properly decoupled.
Hope that helps,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to access my main class?
Look up event bubbling. Essentially if you dispatch your event with bubble=true (the second parameter to an Event constructor), then the event will 'bubble' all the way up the display hierarchy. So your document class will only have to listen to itself for a given event - if any of its children dispatch that event, it'll be notified.

But, it doesn't work when I want to instance this component on a

in the linkage dialog to Cat. In the component definition dialog, I
leave the class field empty, but the vars are identical to what are
declared in the class file.
What am I missing?
