Re: [Flashcoders] functions for other classes within a class

2007-05-25 Thread Muzak 
Have the portfolio dispatch an "init" event, just like it dispatches the 
"onClick" event (which you probably should just call 
"click").
And use the Delegate proxy class as well while you're at it.

import mx.utils.Delegate;

class com.tequila.canon.PosterArtist.Controller {

private var portfolio:MovieClip;

public function Controller() {
trace("Controller constructor: " + this.portfolio);

this.portfolio.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, 
this.portfolioClickHandler));
this.portfolio.addEventListener("init", Delegate.create(this, 
this.portfolioInitHandler));
}

private function portfolioClickHandler():Void{
trace("portfolioClickHandler: " + this);
}

private function portfolioInitHandler():Void{
trace("portfolioInitHandler: " + this);
this.portfolio.flipCorner("bottom_right");
}

}

regards,
Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] functions for other classes within a class

2007-05-25 Thread Giles Roadnight 

Thanks for the reply but with this code (and variations including the code
you sent):

import mx.utils.Delegate;

class com.tequila.canon.PosterArtist.Controller {

   private var portfolio:MovieClip;

   public function Controller()
   {
   trace("Controller constructor: " + this.portfolio);

   this.portfolio.addEventListener("onClick",this);

   //this.portfolio.onInit = this.portfolioOnInit;
   this.portfolio.onInit = Delegate.create(this.portfolio,
this.portfolioOnInit);
   }

   private function portfolioOnInit():Void
   {
   trace("onInit: " + this);
   this.flipCorner("bottom_right");
   }

}

I still get this error:

**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\giles roadnight\workspace\Poster
Artist\com\tequila\canon\PosterArtist\Controller.as: Line 22: There is no
method with the name 'flipCorner'.
this.flipCorner("bottom_right");

Thanks

The best solution would be to create a Portfolio class and make an
onInit() function there (or just override onLoad()). Is there any
reason why you can't do that?

If you really, really, really need to get around it, you can do this:
   this["flipCorner"]("bottom_right");
... but that's a hack for sure.

A few other points:


class com.tequila.canon.PosterArtist.Controller {


Common convention is for packages to be in lower case, or camel-humped
(e.g. posterArtist--please ignore AS2's TextField.StyleSheet). (Maybe
you have a good reason for doing this, though, I dunno.)


this.portfolio.addEventListener("onClick",this);


Since portfolio is of type "MovieClip", there is no guarantee that it
even has the function addEventListener(). This is another reason for
making an actual Portfolio class.

Also, while you can add an object as a listener with AS2's
EventDispatcher class: 1)  it has to be a function in AS3, and 2)
Controller would have to have either an "onClick" method or a
"handleEvent" method for this to work. Finally, common convention in
AS3 is for event types not to start with "on" (although listeners to
those events often start with "on").

Re: [Flashcoders] functions for other classes within a class

2007-05-25 Thread Andy Herrman 

Since that function is a class function the compiler assumes it will
only be called with that class as the context.  Since Controller
doesn't have the function then it won't compile.

What I would do is this:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
class com.tequila.canon.PosterArtist.Controller {

  private var portfolio:MovieClip;

  public function Controller()
  {
  trace("Controller constructor: " + this.portfolio);

  this.portfolio.addEventListener("onClick",this);

  this.portfolio.onInit = Delegate.create(this, this.portfolioOnInit);
  }

  private function portfolioOnInit():Void
  {
  trace("onInit: " + this);
  this.portfolio.flipCorner("bottom_right");
  }

}

That way your class function is always called with the right context
(this value).
