[Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
I have a simple class and I can't access a private var after using
setTimeout... I typed this up to show whats happening:
class foo extends MovieClip
{
private var nTime:Number = 0.75;
private var delay:Number;
function foo()
{
// stuff
};
public function doSomething():Void
{
trace( nTime ); // works fine [0.75]
var delay = _global.setTimeout( delayedFunc, 1000 );
};
private function delayedFunc():Void
{
trace( nTime ); //undefined ?
};
}
?? I could use setInterval and kill it after the first fire, but setTimeout
is nicer. This is AS2 obviously.

Re: SPAM-LOW: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
You'd run into the same issue with setInterval.
When you specify a function reference like this there is no scope for that
function, so the private var is not within the scope of the function.
Use the alternative call for setTimeout:
var delay = _global.setTimeout(this, 'delayedFunc', 1000 );
Or use Delegate:
var delay = _global.setTimeout( Delegate.create(this, delayedFunc),
1000 );
In both cases you are providing the scope for which the function will
have.

Is this a case for Delegate? Looks to me like you've lost scope as a result
of going to _global.

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
There is no difference between setInterval() and setTimeout() in this
aspect. The function invoked by any of them has no object context
(this is undefined inside the function), so use Delegate to set the
scope.

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
inside a class i have to use _global.setTimeout since its not in the
intrinsics, maybe use Delegate, but that car should be available from
anywhere within the class, no?

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
Hello :)
you must use the second notation of the method :
var delay = _global.setTimeout( this, delayedFunc, 1000 );

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
Looks to me like you've lost scope as a result of going to _global. Nope. _global is simply an object and has nothing to do with scope in this case. but that car should be available from anywhere within the class, no? No. When you specify a function reference in setInterval or setTimeout the function's scope only includes local and _global. It does NOT include where the function is defined. In AS3 it would because of function closure, but that's not the case in AS1/AS2. That's why there's the alternative arguments for setInterval and setTimeout. Or you can use Delegate if you want compile-time checking of the function reference.

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
Eka, was right about the notation being the problem but I thought I
would mention something small I noticed.
You declare delay as a private property of the class but then declare it
again as a local variable inside your doSomething() method. If you
don't need to access the value of delay outside of the doSomething()
method I would remove it at a private property of the class. Otherwise,
if you do need it outside of the doSomething method I would remove the
var keyword from in front of the assignment so that you are assigning to
the class' property and not creating a new local variable.
You might also want to be consistant with your variable names. You
prefix Time with n for a Number but don't do so with delay.
Also, you can check out my Timer class for something like this:

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
that was a typo - did that on the fly not copy pasted. nice catch
though. My private vars get a leading _ on them.

Re: [Flashcoders] Private var not accessible?
Hello :)
i have the same implementation in VEGAS inspired of the flash.util.Timeclass :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/util/Timer.as
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/util/FrameTimer.as
For me it's a better solution to use this implementation :) I prefere the
dom2/3 of the W3C event model to manage my intervals too ;)
