Re: [Flashcoders] Calling a Static Function
I see a couple of weird things in your code.
First, I think your code, as is, should give you a compile error. At least,
I get an error, with this code (which looks equivalent):
var mathClass:Class = Math;
//mathClass.random(); -- compile error
It works if I workaround the compiler check, though:
var mathClass:Class = Math;
mathClass[random]();
So, it's weird that you don't get an error. Which leads me to believe that
perhaps, you have a valid reference to the AssetLibrary class in your
project. Have you double checked that?
Anyway, I'd change the name of the variable since it could be ambiguous (if
you happen to have a reference to the class). I mean something like this:
var AssetLibraryDef:Class;
AssetLibraryDef=
pEvent.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(AssetLibrary) as Class;
try
{
AssetLibraryDef.initAssets(); //--the error is here
}
Also, could it be possible that the compiled class in the loaded swf defines
the method initAssets as taking one parameter? Maybe there's some versioning
problem going on...
At any rate, you could use describeType on the Class object to inspect it.
This will list static methods and will tell you how many parameters they
define (and also the types).
In my example, it's simply:
trace(describeType(mathClass));
So, you could probably see this info doing:
trace(describeType(AssetLibraryDef));
Not sure where the problem could be, really, but perhaps this gives you some
idea.

Hi Kerry,
The problem is in these lines:

as Class;
You are calling a stattic function; so this is correct
AssetLibrary.initAssets();
But why are you defining the same class variable ahead, thats wrong.
Static methods mean you can directly call those APIs without creating an
instance.
So just call AssetLibrary.initAssets() provided you have a
AssetLibrary.as
imported.
That makes sense, except I may not have the .as file. I need to be able to
download an asset swf written by another developer. That's why I'm getting
the class from the downloaded swf.
I tried adding an import statement, pointing to the location of the swf,
and
got an error that it couldn't be found.
Maybe I need to have the other developer make it an RSL, because I need to
share it among different swf's. I don't understand why I can't call the
function, though. There are a number of public static vars in the
downloaded
swf, and I can see them in the debugger. I can't see the public static
function, though, and the assets are not being initialized.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

}

Thanks, Keith. I'll try that.
And thanks, Juan and John. I'll try some things, but at the moment I'm
leaning towards John's suggestion that the method isn't being compiled into
the class. I've looked at the class in the debugger, and I can see all the
public vars, but not the function. Juan, I'm assuming this is equivalent to
using describe as you suggested.
I'll try adding a call to the method in the class's constructor and see what
happens. I'll let you know what I find out.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling a Static Function
try using describeType() to find out whats in the class and if the method
has been compiled
pEvent.target is a ContentLoaderInfo object right? You are using a Loader
object to load the swf right?
if so,
import flash.utils.describeType;
var swfContent:Object = LoaderInfo(pEvent.target).content;
trace(describeType(swfContent));
not tested, hope it helps

Have you tried calling the static function indirectly?
// In the swf you are loading
public function callInitAssets():void{
trace(\nLoadee:: callInitAssets() called);
initAssets();
}
// In the swf you are loading into
private function handleLoadComplete(e:Event):void{
_assetLib = e.target.loader.contentLoaderInfo.content as
MovieClip;
trace(_assetLib =,_assetLib);
_assetLib.callInitAssets();
}
Thanks, Keith. I'll try that.
And thanks, Juan and John. I'll try some things, but at the moment I'm
leaning towards John's suggestion that the method isn't being compiled into
the class. I've looked at the class in the debugger, and I can see all the
public vars, but not the function. Juan, I'm assuming this is equivalent to
using describe as you suggested.
I'll try adding a call to the method in the class's constructor and see
what
happens. I'll let you know what I find out.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

pEvent.target is a ContentLoaderInfo object right? You are using a Loader
object to load the swf right?
Yes, pEvent.target is a ContentLoaderInfo object. I'm downloading the swf
with this:
private function loadSwf():void
{
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
handleLoadComplete);
loader.load(urlRequest);
}
and, in the handleLoadComplete handler, I'm getting the class with this:
pEvent.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(AssetLibrary) as Class;
describeType() gives me some XML, but I don't see any of my public vars or
functions in it.
Now I'm really confused, because I can see all my public vars in the
debugger, but not the public function. In the XML produced by
describeType(), I don't see much of anything I'm expecting. The only methods
it lists are the inherited public events.
Cordially,

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling a Static Function
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/package.html#describeType%28%29
If the value parameter is an instance of a type, the returned XML object
includes all the instance properties of that type, but does not include any
static properties
The instance properties are nested inside a tag named factory to
distinguish them from the static properties. - So Static properties live
outside it ;)
Just learning this myself. Maybe that was the issue. My suggestion of
.content property is an instance of the class. Try using your var
AssetLibrary:Class; as the parameter for describeType().
If it still doesn't show up, you should seriously question whether the
method was compiled. First though, try workarounds to call the method such
as Keith's or Juan's suggestion or casting the content as a dynamic object
and calling the method.
var AssetLibrary:Object LoaderInfo(pEvent.target).content;
try {
AssetLibrary.initAssets(); //--the error is here
} catch (e:ArgumentError) {
trace (e);
}
just more thoughts. hope it helps...

Re: [Flashcoders] RollOver AS2
Hi Natalia,
I don't know if you found a solution to your dilemma,
but I was looking through the TweenMax forum and saw some reference to a
SEIZE_CURSOR and RELEASE_CURSOR
Not sure what tween engine your using or if these will relate to your
situation, but you might want to check and see
if your tween has something similar, or that gives you that kind of
control.
Something that you assign the release of the cursor with yourself.
It may be that because of the moving of the mc with the tween, the
mouse is not recognizing that the mc has moved.
Just a though.
HTH,
Karl

Nothing of that helps.

Try
box.onRelease = box.onReleaseOutside = function(){
//move out
};
maybe?
Your box moves before its released, so this may work.
Hopefully it wont fire it to move twice.
or maybe try moving it after the onPress instead, so that the
release
doesn't do that action and lets the mouse reset.
box.onPress = function(){
//move out
};
and if that does not work. lol
box.onPress = function(){
//move out
};
box.onRelease = box.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.onRollOver = null;
};
I am reaching at this point. :)
