RE: [Flashcoders] Composition problems
Given the way you wote the questions class, then:
//file: puzzle.as
import questions;
class Puzzle {
private var QA:questions;
function Puzzle() {
QA = new questions();
trace(QA.qa[0][q])
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Composition problems
Hi list...
I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing in trying to instance a
class
via composition:
I have 2 external classes: questions and puzzle.
class questions {
public var qa:Object = new Object();
function questions() {
qa[0] = new Object();
qa[0][q] = Who will win?;
qa[0][a] = new Object();
qa[0][a][0] = Dallas;
qa[0][a][1] = Miami;
qa[0][correct] = 1;
}
}
...and in the puzzle class:
How do you assign a variable so that the entire questions class is
returned?
I've tried the following, none are working.
class puzzle {
private var QA:questions;
function puzzle() {
QA = new questions();
}
}
class puzzle {
function puzzle() {
private var QA = new questions();
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Composition problems
Another things, a lot of people also capitalize class names, but that's
personal preference. And if you aren't already, would recommend you
organize your classes into packages - will get real messy real quick if
you don't.

RE: [Flashcoders] Composition problems
Thanks Jason. I figured it out. I was getting tripped up by the fact
that how I was doing it was only returning functions, not properties.
In my fixed puzzle class:
private function defineQuestions():Void {
// create the question and answer data object...
var QA = new questions();
theQuestions = QA.getQuestions();
}
In the questions class, getQuestions returns the built object.
But, I like your way better. :-) And, I'll put them in a package,
thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Composition problems
Actually, using a Getter() method is often preferable too - just depends
on how you want to do it.
I will say, I would keep your Questions class as a generic Model class
- as abstract as possible - and keep the questions external - say in XML
or a webservice of some kind- and pass the data to the Questions model
class. I wouldn't hard code the data in the class itself. Classes
should contain no information is a good way to think of it.

My personal preference is to create package names lowercase and begin the classname with a Capital... That way it's easy to read (I think..)
