Subject: [Flashcoders] Junior Developer Flash/Flex Salary?

Does 30-55K a year sound right with benefits for a junior developer? I
have
a college degree and an extensive IT background but, I'm just now getting
into a professional job environment developing but, I have been using
flash
for some time now. 30K sounds wa too low, would you agree? If someone
had 2-3 years experience, what should a flash/flex developer get? What
should they start at?

Thanks

How do you implement assigning values to that array item?

someClass.elem(0) = myObj;

Use __resolve:

class MyClass
{
private var myArray:Array;

public function __resolve(name:String):Object
{
if (!isNaN(name)) {
return myArray[Number(name)];
} else {
return false;
}
}
}

But it will not "strict type" properly at all, so you lose major 
benefits of using as2 this way. I'd do it:

class MyClass
{
private var myArray:Array;

public function elem(n:Number):Object
{
return myArray[n];
}
}

And:

var someClass:MyClass = new MyClass;
thisItem = someClass.elem(0);

Then you will get proper validation of argument, parameter and return
types.

[Flashcoders] Array like access to custom class?

2005-12-20 Thread Dan Thomas
Can I provide array like access to a custom collection object?

E.g.

Class MyClass
{
private var myArray:Array;

public function getArray():Array
{
return this.myArray;
}
}

This would allow access to the array items as so:

var someClass:MyClass = new MyClass;
thisItem = someClass.getArray[0];

How can I change it so I can achieve the same thing but with access to
the items like this:

var someClass:MyClass = new MyClass;
thisItem = someClass[0];

Hope that makes some sort of sense?

Cheers,

Why don't you just use XML for the communication between flash en ASP.NET. 

Just use .net for the database connection and read/write actions. 

Write out your XML with .NET and import the page just like you would import 
XML in Flash. 

Use that all the time and it works like a charm...

I am not a user so I am not an expert on flashorb. But as I understand
it, weborb is just the most recent version that, along with handling
flash remoting also does ajaxy stuff.  I believe the free version is the
standard edition. If you cant find the weborb, I think the flashorb
standard edtion is fine since all that weborb does is add support for
ajaxy stuff.

[Flashcoders] Swtich Statement issue!?

2005-12-06 Thread Dan Thomas
I have a method that returns a number which I know to be of value 1
I have a static number variable in another class (SWF_STATE) which I
also know to be 1.
In an if() statement they evaluate to equal the same, however in the
following switch statement it will not evaluate?


trace("TYPE:"+currItem.getMediaType()+" COMPARED TO:" +
VideoVO.SWF_STATE); // this traces "TYPE:1 COMPARED TO:1"


if(currItem.getMediaType() == VideoVO.SWF_STATE)
{
trace("wtf?!");//this evaluates and traces
}
switch(currItem.getMediaType()) // this switch always traces the
error (default branch)
{
case VideoVO.FLV_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case VideoVO.SWF_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case VideoVO.MP3_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case sometest==VideoVO.JPG_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
default:
trace("ERROR: NO MEDIA TYPE!");
}

trace(sometest); // traces 1
trace(VideoVO.SWF_STATE); // traces 1

Any help on this very much appreciated!
