The class is a rewrite from AS2, so I guess they just left it in there. In AS3 - for use with getDefinitionByName() or getQualifiedClassName() - those constants serve no purpose, as to get to them you have to know their package anyway. - Original Message - From: Merrill, Jason

[Flashcoders] XML attribute issue

Hey all, I'm parsing this xml and can't get one attribute to work as a TextFormat. I have an app that saves XML of objects on the screen, each object has a TextFormat attached to it so I save the XML node with attributes for x, y, text and Textformat. Below is what is returned to me when I load

Take a peek at what the textformat property is asking for. You're essentially trying to set [object Textformat], which is a string. You can't create a textformat by saying, [object TextFormat] as TextFormat. Plus, [object TextFormat] is now how you dynamically refer to classes, even if that's

Ahh yes, I thought it would be simple to just stuff the old TextFormat in an attribute. I now save each node with an attribute for each TextFormat property. All is good! -Gerry On Jan 12, 2011, at 3:17 PM, Merrill, Jason wrote: Take a peek at what the textformat property is asking for.

Yeah, people need to turn off their boilerplate signatures. That's not how boilerplate signatures work. I strongly doubt Jason has the ability to disable them. He could use a personal address instead of his work address, but there are plenty of reasons for him not to do that, I'm sure. Dave
