Re: [Flashcoders] oop question kind of...

>Have you tried using some kind of factory type approach 
> to manage your deletion/creation? 
yes, i use adts quite often...in fact i use the mvc pattern for quite a few 
apps i create.  So i have views that instantiate whatever movieclips it needs 
and deletes them when it doesn't need them.  the problem begins when a view 
needs to go away either because it is being replaced by another view or 
refreshed.  i noticed that the clips that were supposed to be deleted weren't 
really...futhermore, when being reinstantiated, they won't accept values...they 
exist, but they're undefined somehow...

[Flashcoders] retrieving vars using query string

2006-08-24 Thread badimalik
Hi All,
I'm using the BrowserStateManager class to set the state of my app using 
parameters in the query string.  this makes it very hard to debug however, so i 
was wondering how i can still pass vars to the app even though i'm i'm not 
running the app in a browser as i debug it (debugging using the dredded 
debugger that comes with flash)...

any ideas appreciated

cheers
