[Flashcoders] The issue of parent in AS3

2008-05-15 Thread Johan Nyberg
Anybody knows if it's bad practice to type-cast the parent-property to the class of the parent? Since parent is a property of the DisplayObject class, you can only reference properties and methods of that class directly through the parent-property. If you want to access other properties

Hi, don't know if my way is cleaner but it is certainly more general because if you change the parent class you don't need to find and replace all type-casting of the previous class with new class. My solution to this is to type-cast the parent class to Object class. It is dynamic class so you can

You need to make sure that the font you have supports the Cyrillic characters. For example, if you swap out the font to say 'Arial', do the characters appear? If not, then you'll have to find a close match to the font you need, that contains the Cyrillic characters Thanks Steven -Original
