[Flashcoders] RE:Flashcoders] Extending Array Question

Thanks, that will work. So there is no definitive way to add the values all at 
once, i.e. [1,4,5,76,3] when extending an Array?

Thanks again.

Hi there (whoever you are!)

Your problem is that the [1,2,3] initialiser syntax is actually a
short cut for creating a new Array() object, not an ArrayExtension().
So you're replacing the object you just created with new().

What you need to do is to _modify_ your ArrayExtension() object, not replace 
it.

If you try:

var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension();

myArray.push(Hello);
myArray.push(Goodbye);
myArray.push(World);

That should sort your problem.

HTH,
  Ian

You could also do:

var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension();

myArray.push(Hello, Goodbye, World);

same result as doing them separately.

2006-04-18 Thread Mike Britton 
class com.ArrayExtension extends Array
{

   public function ArrayExtension()
   {
   super()
var argString = arguments[0].split(,);

   for(var i=0; i argString.length; i++)
   push(argString[i]);

   }

}

Usage:

var arEx = new ArrayExtension(one,two,three);
trace(arEx.length);

Re: [Flashcoders] RE:Flashcoders] Extending Array Question

2006-04-18 Thread Fumio Nonaka 

Another solution:

// ActionScript 2.0 Class Definition: com/ArrayExtension.as
dynamic class com.ArrayExtension extends Array {
function ArrayExtension() {
if (arguments.length == 1  !isNaN(arguments[0])) {
this.length = arguments[0];
} else {
this.push.apply(this, arguments);
}
}
}

// fla for Testing
// Frame Action
import com.ArrayExtension;
var arEx0:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(one, two, three);
trace([arEx0.length, arEx0]);  // Output: 3,one,two,three
var arEx1:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension(3);
trace([arEx1.length, arEx1]);  // Output: 3,undefined,undefined,undefined

// [Debug]  [List Variables]:
Variable _level0.arEx0 = [Object #3] [
0:one,
1:two,
2:three
  ]
Variable _level0.arEx1 = [Object #4] []
_
