Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 finally..
Void was AS2 and wasn't really necessary. void is AS3 and since it uses strong typing, very necessary. void will not return anything. If you want back values (numeric) use Number (text) use String, etc. John R.

[Flashcoders] AS3 finally..
Hello fellow Flashers,
Been a while. Ok, its time. I am now going to learn AS3 for real.. lol
I know I know... please no comments from the peanut gallery.
I am also making my first AS3 lesson an iPhone app. Whoo hoo! (Im a glutton for
punishment I guess)
So, I will have some more questions regarding that process here in the near
future I am sure.
My first question.
What is the purpose of "void" versus "Void"? When do you use "void" and "Void"
and when is it not needed or wise to use "void" on a function? I may have asked
this a few years ago, but can not find any of the emails, so if its a duplicate
I apologize.
IE
function someFunc():void
{
//do something
}
function someFunc():Void
{
//do something
}
function someFunc() {
//do something
}
If I understand correctly, to use "void", your function can not return any
values? It can only manipulate things?
I don't fully understand "Void" with a Cap V, so will need enlightenment.
To have a function return a value with the "return" statement, "void" should be
voided?? (sry. had to)
If you want to answer directly, please, be my guest. If you want to send me
somewhere to learn, by all means. I'll take what I can get.
Hopefully my being a newbie and asking questions right now will fervor some
lost zeal in some people and they will want to help me. :)
(fingers crossed)
Best,
Karl DeSaulniers

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: SWF Decompiler Recommendations
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that I'm on a Mac so Burak's ASV isn't an option for me. Based on your comments, I tried the demo version of 'SWF Decompiler Trillix for Mac'. After a quick test confirmed that it did exactly what I needed, I paid for a full license and am back in business. Literally. Thanks again, Jim ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] flickering buttons
Yes, code in the button class should stop it. I just wondered if the animation was creating individual instances and that was causing it to hinder the buttons is all.

Re: [Flashcoders] flickering buttons
I guess they're still playing. They won't stop just because the parent has stopped. If they are movieclip acting as buttons, at some stage you've told them to play. You do have a "stop()" in them to stop then cycling, don't you?
