Re: [Flashcoders] Q: Performance of AS3 vs Java
I vote for Java/OpenGL. Skip on Processing -- it's way too limiting unless you drop their IDE and directly import the related jars. I recently completed a project using LWJGL (http://www.lwjgl.org) and it was blistering fast. In fact, I'm going to be open-sourcing it sometime today if you're interested. It was a game, but I wrote lots of code that could be applied anywhere, including tweening and shape primitive drawing tools.

almost the same.
Then of course all the Math computations (frequently used in

Re: [Flashcoders] specifying type of an array contents?
for...in loops don't work the same as they do in Java or C#. Take a
look at the following code:
for (var key in btnClipArray) {
btnClipArray[key].removeMovieClip();
}
The loop iterates over keys, not values This technique is not limited
to arrays and can be used on any object in Flash.
Flash assumes items held in arrays are objects. You can call any
method on them, without the compiler complaining. There is no way to
type arrays.

Re: [Flashcoders] Slow performance
I would also try to avoid string concatenation. It's usually a big
performance issue, since strings are immutable (so a sequential block
of memory has to be allocated, and the strings you are joining are
copied to the new location).
I would draw an entire page up front, then just reveal as you go
through masking or an mc overlaying the text.

If you're looking to improve performance and keep the speed of your
animation, you could experiment with BitmapData.draw() and render a bitmap
copy of a hidden text movieclip. I think the bottleneck is mostly due to
the heavy font vectors. If your font movieclip was hidden and/or moved
off-stage, you could probably get away with a single BitmapData object set
to the size of the screen, redrawing each time the text changes.

Re: [Flashcoders] clone object
I would mark each object (by actually assigning the cloned object as a property of the original) as I go through each individual clone operation, and keep a running array of what is being marked. If I hit something that is already marked, I will use the clone instead of copying the same object again (because it's hanging off the original). When I'm finished, I'd remove all the temporary properties from the originals. This requires two method instead of one, and is a bit more CPU intensive, but it won't break. I'd also be sure to special case the handling of date objects. The alternative is to shallow clone, which does not recursively copy object properties, and instead assigns the reference held by the original to the clone.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash/Actionscript Coding conventions
If you're using eclipse, just use Ctrl+7 to comment a block out using double slashes. Doing it again removes them. This feature works in FDT and JDT. CDT uses Ctrl+\ instead I believe. So I do hear what you're saying, but tools can easily get around problems like this. And people do read docs. I do regularly. If you're ever dealing with a complex framework (Swing, Eclipse...or anything really) you have to read the docs to understand what's going on. Especially because in some cases because warnings are made to not override this or that (soft finals). Just look at the .NET framework. The code just isn't available. How else can you understand what's going on?

They require you to use block commenting in your code to automatically write documentation and that's counterproductive to actual coding. It should work hand in hand with not diametrically opposed to the coding process. If they were smart about it, they would support line commenting with non-asterisk delimiters. Say //! !//, or //| |// or //[ ]//, etc. Exclamations, pipes, and brackets are all better choices because they do not conflict with anything.

We paid for the components but found out very quickly that they wouldn't work for us because they caused all kinds of issues with Selection, tabIndex, and other non-XP components. I don't want this to sound disparaging, as the author of the components was very helpful when I asked him about the issues I was having, however, I disagree with his approach. The website doesn't explain clearly that you cannot just throw one of his components in your movie and expect it to work, or that using his components in your movie can break your existing code and won't get along with other components (MMs or other 3rd party ones) or even with Flash's native code (like Selection and tabIndex). You MUST use the exact framework he has developed from the get go. To me, it's kind of misleading to simply call them components, since you're actually purchasing a framework which contains custom components to work within that framework.

Re: RE: [SPAM?] RE: [Flashcoders] XPcomponents set
Thinking about it again, I think you're right on one point. There's certainly no reason that using their framework should break native Flash code. That's just sloppy. But, as it is a framework, I think it's totally legit that it makes you do certain things certain ways. I wouldn't say XPComponents _breaks_ native code...it just chooses not to use it, abstracting it away into an API that they designed themselves. In my opinion this is perfectly acceptable and maybe even desirable if additional functionality is provided as a result.

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically instantiating a class that extends MovieClip.
That's exactly what I mean. As a result you can do cool things like reparenting -- like moving a button from one window to another. It handles the MovieClip creation itself. A code example really isn't too easy, because the framework that allows this to be possible is quite large. If you were really interested, you could look at the code. Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/jqtwv It's a gigantic class...so it might be difficult to work through. The important method is createMovieClips(), which is called when a view (the type of object that encapsulates movieclips) moves to a new superview.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Player 9 Public Beta for Apple Intel-based Macintosh computers
It's the simultaneous new version rollout of 10 Eclipse projects. A lot of the projects are very cool, but the important one for me is Eclipse 3.2. The current version of Ecilpse has some problems on Intel Macs due to its reliance on SWT (which relies on native code). These should be resolved in this new version. I'm also looking forward to the new TPTP (a plugin for testing the performance of applications, and not just ones that are written in Java). It will not work on the Intel Mac, but since our servers are not running OSX it doesn't matter. Support for the Mac is planned for the next version too.

Re: [Flashcoders] Double-rendered Text
Sounds like you're recreating textfields without removing the old ones. It may sound stupid, but in my personal experience it's one of the most commonly encountered bugs while working in Flash. I've already fixed two like that today! If you're working in the IDE, step through the code to make sure you're calling removeTextField() wherever necessary. The other option is that there is a problem with your layout code and the textfields overlap as a result. If this is the case, you may find it helpful to give your textfields borders (just for debugging purposes). If that doesn't help, trace out coordinates and do hit tests. You'll get it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Command line compile
Oh, sorry about that. Didn't read carefully enough. I don't think there is a solution given your contraints...but I'm going to offer my two cents. Forget MM's compiler. It might as well be unsupported. Tech support will cost a fortune to speak to and I'm pretty sure they wouldn''t be able to fix your problems anyway. Switch to MTASC. Convince whoever you're working for that it's a good idea. Your life will be easier and consequently, so will everyone elses. I've been using it for more than a year building major libraries (ActionStep -- http://tinyurl.com/lupmv) and at this point there is absolutely nothing to worry about. A large and well-versed user base will be right at your fingertips. Lots of coders were fed up with MMC a long time ago, and are now happily enjoying Flash development again.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
You could hold the swfs in a database (or in some datastore only accessible to the server), then serve out the swfs through Java or PHP (or any other serverside language). Authenticate each map request with a username / password in the query string. If you wanted to prevent that username / password from being seen (by people watching the line), use HTTPS.

From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's imperative that they can ONLY view these maps from within the viewer app. Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps? I know that server-side scripts, can access local resources - like D:\Documents, etc. - but once the Map Viewer is running from a Remote Browser, how can I bury these maps under some type of file system that is not directly accessible by the outside world (but only through the Map Viewer app)??? Also, once the user views a particular map, how can I prevent the map.swf file from being Cached on their hard drive? If any of you could help me out regarding this, I'd be very appreciative.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do real developers do key handling?
Not exactly a real hascode though.
In Java for example, two distinct yet identical (in composition)
objects will result in the same hashcode. In Vegas, the hashes will be
different because the number is generated incrementally.
Their map implementation is pretty strange as well and does not lend
itself to a large number of entries. Access would be very slow after
awhile.
Better off to use object instances as maps. Since the example you show
shows that you are mapping with String keys, it should be fine.

ci1.processKey(1);
ci1.processKey(2);
// Create a SECOND ChannelInput object, and add some different
keys/handlers
ChannelInput ci2 = new ChannelInput();
ci2.addKey(3, new AnotherSimpleKeyHandler());
ci2.addKey(4, new SimpleKeyHandler());
ci2.processKey(3);
ci2.processKey(4);
// Finally - should get an error if a ChannelInput gets unmapped key
ci2.processKey(1);
}

handlerMap = new HashMap();

For all intents and purposes, this is a private class that won't be
exposed to the public, so I can't simply require the user to import
version 8 of class or version 7 of class.
Is there a way to do a conditional import based on published version,
instead of runtime version? I often use $version to detect major
version of play to handle other functionality, but as you all know
External Interface breaks if not published in 8.
OR better yet, could I simply just copy the file to the FP7 folder and
fake it?
Does this make sense or am I smoking crack here?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash/Eclipse Workflow
If I'm understandung this... You add the IDE generated swf (IDE.swf) to the project. You then create an external class that has a 'main' entry point and it loads the IDE.swf. (with a preloader of course). Correct Do I have this right? Sounds good, though the test will be can I impliment it myself. You could also break IDE.swf into several library1.swf, library2.swf and load them seperately, to spread out the load, couldn't you? No, unfortunately not. Assets are only available to use from the closest loaded parent. Let me explain with a little picture. shell.swf (where all your classes most likely reside) | |-assets.swf (loaded by shell.swf) | |---movieclips that can access assets.swf library | |---assets2.swf | |movieclips that can access assets2.swf (but not assets.swf) It's limited by this parent cut-off idea, but it is still very useful for getting IDE generated assets into my MTASC generated projects. You can split this up a bit further even by including your classes in a separate swf. The limitations shown above do not apply to loaded classes. As soon as they are loaded, they are available. Hope this helps, Scott this sounds similar to the Natural Entry Point method. Do you instanciate the entry point class? If it extends MovieClip, then it could also serve as _root, couldn't it?

RE: [Flashcoders] HashMap?
Well, yes. Now that I think about it my test didn't make much sense, since there would be no way of determining how keys are generated by insertions alone...I was assuming a uniform distribution, and it can't be done without knowing more. But I believe that the Flash uses a tree to implement its map, for some of the same reasons you mentioned. It's just a way more efficient structure to use if your data is unknown, grows well, and stays balanced.

As the primary area fills up, there will be more occasions when the new key to be added, hashes to a storage location already occupied and a link structure will be needed to store the key(s) in the overflow. Similarly, lookups will start to hit links rather than data which will require that the links into the overflow area be followed. This is where tuning comes in. The fact that there are no tuning options makes it unlikely that hashing is used.

If the map is implemented using a B-Tree, then you'll see O(log(n)) times (so just see if the more properties you add increase the amount of time it takes to add them).

In AS1, AS2 and javascript, I am pretty sure that all objects (including Arrays) are key/value maps. (i.e. Associative arrays) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array#JavaScript It is very possible that the internal implementation is not a hashmap, but I still think it is a highly efficient map of some sort because this is so central to the language. I would hope that it is efficient but hashing adds a lot of overhead and wasted space for small arrays and really needs to be tuned to get the desired results for larger arrays. If the arrays are stored in sorted order, then the normal key lookup can be done as a binary lookup which will be a lot quicker than an exhaustive search. The price is paid when a new associative entry is added. Nothing is free. None of my work has required has involved large associative arrays where hashing would add a significant improvement in speed but it would be nice to have such a class available for those who need it. In the early days (1960s) when I was taking Computer Science at University, we spent a lot of time worrying about these things since memory was scarce (64K word (36 bits per word) computer cost a million dollars and supported 16 users) and CPU speeds where not very fast (a 1MIP computer was state of the art). If really had to look carefully at how things got stored and retrieved, it you had a large number of them. ...at least this is what I think. I might be completely wrong. B. 2006/5/12, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I would be a little surprised. There does not seem to be any way to control the hash parameters and every array would have a lot of wasted space for nothing and without any way to control the hash size and the percent utilization, you would not get a lot of advantage for the big arrays. The Java HashMap defaults are pretty modest and would yield less than optimal performance with a big array. You can set the parameters if you have a big array and know a bit about the randomness of your keys to get fast lookups with a reasonable trade-off in wasted space Perhaps someone who knows the Flash Player internals could tell for sure. Ron Bernard Poulin wrote: mmm... Are you implying that ActionScript objects are not hashmaps? I thought they were *all* hashmaps (even Arrays are hashmaps). Every method call that you do involves at least one hash lookup. B. 2006/5/10, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It appears that a HashMap is a Java class that uses a hash on the key to store its keys and values. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html This would speed up lookup if you have a large set of keys. If you do not need the speed or do not have a large collection of keys to store, an array object would seem to give the same functionality in ActionScript. This leaves the implementation of the array to Flash and it is likely a simple structure that has to be searched sequentially (by the Flash VM) to get the associated value. It you really need a hashing array that can handle large numbers of key/value pairs, you probably have to write one. This is an old concept and you can likely find a few design ideas and probably some code if you search for it. If you are converting code and want to create a HashMap class that has the same methods as HashMap in Java, you could fake the internal storage technology with a simple Array. it would be faster for a small set of values and would get a bit slower as the number of keys increased. You could start with a dumb HashMap class and then make it a true hashing data store later without having to rewrite your code. HashMap was only added to Java in Java 1.1 and they lived without it before then. Ron Joshua Graham wrote: Bit strange, but that works, thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] sprouts data structure
Wow, great question. Needless to say, you can't figure these things out with vertices and edges alone, you're going to have to assign location to each vertex and use that to calculate the intersection...but that's where things get hazy. You probably don't want to brute force it, because your worst case gets bad. I'm sure there is some sort of clever math solution, but I've never been much of a mathematician. So maybe you could do something visual. If your edges are drawn in one color, maybe you could check all the pixels in a line between the desired end points, and see if any of the pixels contain the edge color, in which case, don't allow the connection to be made. I'll keep thinking about it though.

RE: [Flashcoders] Unity vs Flashcom for chat and messaging
I think that there is still valuable early work to be done on a port to C#, including feasibility studies. As I recall, Red5 leverages Spring. I know Spring.net exists, but it would be useful to find out how closely they resemble each other. I would also imagine the underlying Red5 framework is (mostly) set, so you could start from a high-level and just work down.

RE: [Flashcoders] Unity vs Flashcom for chat and messaging
Hey Jim, Unity, and similar socket servers (WebORB's messaging framework, ElectroServer, etc) all use XMLSocket to perform communication AFAIK. This can pose problems with firewalls between the client box and the server unless communication occurs on open ports. Also, communication is limited to text. Serialization of objects into text is quite possible, but you won't be able to transmit media-related data such as images (unless encoded), video or audio. FMS not only allows the ability to broadcast text to other users and the server, but also supports video (incl. webcams) and audio (incl. microphones). Many of the native ActionScript objects have special features that work with FMS, and are documented quite well. The server supports storing objects, media and session data in files so they can persist between sessions. FMS is limited insofar as serverside scripts must be written in a dialect of ActionScript that resembles AS1. You might not even consider that a limitation, as it is quite functional and scripts don't have to be too big most of the time, just don't expect a rich OOP language to work with. FMS has a free version (up to 10 users) and other pricing plans exist to scale with any project you may have planned.

I have read both those links previously. They offer no information about the IAccessible methods that I see in the mx.accessibility package. Most information about these methods can be gleaned from the MSAA docs, replacing the pointer params with returns...but others, which seem to be specific to the Flash player's communication with screen readers, are completely undocumented. Still others have return types that don't easily map to the return types (or pointer params) of the corresponding IAccessible method.

[Flashcoders] Any Montreal-based companies around?
Hi everyone, I realize I run the risk of becoming very unpopular by posting this. I apologize. I'm in a bit of a bind, and I thought that since I am pretty involved with the community you'd find it in your hearts to let this slide. :) I was wondering if any Montreal-based companies were looking for summer employees. A job that I was relying on fell through, so I'm a bit stuck. Full-time, part-time or contract work are all fine. So now a bit about me. I attend the University of Toronto and am working towards a computer science degree. I'm well-versed in all that is Flash. I've worked on successful major projects, have built many custom components, and have been working on an OSS application framework called ActionStep for the past year. I'm also experienced in popular backend technologies (ASP.NET, Java Servlets and JSP, PHP) as well as common RDBMSes. I love Flash and I'd love to help you work on your Flash-based projects (or just about anything else). That's about it. If you're interested please email me off-list.

RE: [Flashcoders] Split Pane component??
ActionStep has one...but it probably isn't usable from your prespective, since you won't be able to use it from within the Flash IDE like you would be familiar. Code only. :) If you (or anyone else reading this thread) would like to see it in action, here is something I'm writing that uses it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Architecture opinion...
Bitwise arithmentic would be much more appropriate (if I understand correctly)
var CONFIG_A:Number = 1;
var CONFIG_B:Number = 2;
var CONFIG_C:Number = 4;
var CONFIG_D:Number = 8;
So a configuration of A and C would be.
var aAndC:Number = A | C;
To detect config numbers, do the following:
if (configNumber CONFIG_D) {
// do something to do with D
}
else if (configNumber CONFIG_B) {
// do something to do with B
}
This is way more extensible, as it's easy to add new configs.

RE: [Flashcoders] Architecture opinion...
yeah, sure. Any combination of numbers you want. Just make sure all of your
CONFIG_* variables are ascending 2^n numbers (hence the bitwise, we're dealing
with binary number reps here). So...
1
2
4
8
16
32
...and so on
You'll find that this technique is used frequently in many frameworks and
standard libraries, so it's a good thing to understand if you ever choose to
move away from Flash. The V2 Alert component even uses it to determine what
buttons an Alert should display. And not to mention it's fast as hell. No
lengthy array scans to determine configuration. :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Using onRollOver and onRollOut inside a Class File??
It's not really up to the component developer to decide what may or may not be
done with any control. Of course there are limits to this, but I would expect
that with any visual component a roll over event is a reasonable thing to
expect. Swing (MouseMoveListener), Cocoa (tracking rects), and the .NET
framework (the MouseEnter event) all have support for this functionality.
I'm not coming down on V2. It's a basic framework for basic needs...I'm just
saying.

My question to you would be, why would you expect a button to broadcast that
it being rolled over? There is no standard UI reason for it. The only real
action that a standard button is good for is clicking.

Hello Michael - thanks for the reply -
I guess my real question is, why isn't onRollOver and onRollOut
natively part of the Events that the Button Components can broadcast?
In the help docs, there is only 1 mentioned Event - which is click -
It just seems odd, that I have to use one method of adding an Event
Listener for Click, and a totally different type of Add Event Listener
method for adding other types of events.
Do you know why that is?
Is it for the purpose of not reinventing the wheel, and borrowing events
that already exist in other components, and applying it to others? I
know that all the components in Flash are reduced to their lowest common
denominators - and that they import their core functions from other core
classes - again, for the purpose of not having any redundant code not
reinventing the wheel.
Thanks for your help on this, and to help me further understand how this
all works.

Hello All,
I am getting very confused here, on how to get the onRollOver and
onRollOut events to be broadcasted whenever the mouse moves over a
Flash Component, contained within a MovieClip using a Class File.
The component in this particular instance, is the Push Button. When
reading the documentation, the only events that are mentioned is the
click event. To my knowledge, when using a Class File attached to a
MovieClip containing a Push Button component, there is only one type
of syntax that can be used for adding listeners.
For example:
myButton.addEventListener( click, myButton_Click );
And you usually place this statement inside of the onLoad function of
the MovieClip class itself.
Then the function that handles the event, conforms to the method of
how functions must be written inside of a Class File:
private function myButton_Click( evtObj:Object ):Void
{
//code here...
}
Since you can't use a listener object (like you would if you were
simply putting functions in the root of the movie itself), and then
have a statement of listenerObject.onRollOver = function() within a
Class File, I am wondering how I can force the onRollOver and
onRollOut events to get properly broadcasted.
Please keep in mind, I am trying to keep 100% of my code inside of my
Class Files. I know a simple solution could be simply highlighting
the actual Push Button within the MovieClip, and then directly apply
an on(event) function to temporarily accomplish my goals - but this
totally defeats the purpose of creating a separation between Flash App
and Source Code.
I also looked at the SimpleButton.as Class File in which the Button.as
Class is based on. Oddly enough, there are onRollOver and
onRollOut
functions in there, but it doesn't Dispatch Events - it simply
activates the highlight option when the user rolls over the button.
I thought that was pretty weird... I manually edited the Class File,
so that a Dispatch Event of onRollOver and onRollOut would be
broadcasted, but still no dice...
Could any of you point me in the right direction, on how to accomplish
this using only Class Files? Since V2 components, AS 2.0, and Class
Files are being pushed so hard as the preferred way of doing things,
it simply baffles me why these other events wouldn't be available to
the developer. Sorry, but click just isn't doing it for me - I need
more events out of my components.
Thanks

RE: [Bulk] [Flashcoders] Extending a singleton
Kind of flamebaity, but I'll bite. I read that article, but this is just one man's opinions. I'm not saying he's wrong, but some of his points largely depend on the usage of the singleton itself (specifically #4). #2 kind of sounds like bullshit to me too. Sure, you can split a singleton into two classes, fine, one for creation and one for the class itself. I just don't see the point. Single responsibility deals with required changes. I don't see how the singleton aspect of the class would ever require a change (correct me if I'm wrong). In fact, if you look at a lot of windowing toolkits for operating systems, you will see singleton usage scattered throughout. Just a few I can think of offhand in Apple's Cocoa (a beautifully designed framework in my opinion): Color panel Font panel ...in fact, all panels Application User Defaults It seems to me (because I've never run into any problems) that careful use of singletons is an okay thing to do. I agree that alot of people overuse them and try to force everything and anything into a singleton. I don't agree with that. I just think they have a place.

The first question is: Is it good practice or should it be avoided at all cost? Anyway, I have been trying to extend one, but the problem is that instance variables are not accessible in the class that extends the singleton (and which is also a singleton). So for instance, take a class A that has a properties instance variable that holds key/value pairs. That var is initialized in the constructor. A.getInstance() gives me the single instance. B extends A, and B.getInstance() gives me the single instance of B. But since it extends A, A's constructor is called (although it is private, a camouflaged protected in AS2) and the properties var is instantiated again. Get the picture? B will have a properties instance var but it will not be the same as the one in the singleton of A. Am I overlooking something very obvious here or is this actually hard to accomplish? I changed it from inheritance to using A.getInstance() internally which works; but now I have to add wrapper methods for every method in A/ /I want to make available. thx in advance, Christophe ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

This is due to the ECMAScript algorithm for determining equality. You'll find that JavaScript behaves the same way. Date objects are not primitives, so they will only compare as equal if both Date variables reference the same Date object (i.e. var d2 = d1;) The ECMAScript algorithms for = and =, however, convert both operands to Number before the comparison. Date objects converted to the Number data type gives you the number of milliseconds since the epoch. The upshot is that to test for equality of Date objects, either convert them to numbers first or use valueOf(): trace (Number(d1) == Number(d2)); trace (d1.valueOf() == d2.valueOf()); Francis -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 3:40 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: [Flashcoders] Simple date comparison bug?

Ian,
Flash doesn't have the concept of constants, so you couldn't
enforce a constant even if you wanted to (except by a hack like
defining a null set() function, but that's beside the point a bit)...
you can only suggest that specific things should be constant by
convention
It's not really beside the point. We define constants in this way...
class Test {
public static function get SOME_CONSTANT():String {
return value;
}
}
...which works perfectly.

RE: [Flashcoders] ActionStep, help compiling examples.
Actually, I'm going to give a quick answer here (but you should join our list): The calculator sample needs you to have the ActionStepLib swf compiled, as well as calculator.asml in the test subdirectory. So for the pathing to be correct, here's how it needs to look: Calculator.swf - (This could be named anything) ActionStepLib.swf test/calculator.asml But I imagine you just want to get this thing up and running, am I right? You should use this build script: mtasc -cp src -cp test/src -swf ActionStep.swf -header 800:600:20 -version 8 -trace org.actionstep.ASDebugger.debugPanelTrace -pack org/actionstep -pack org/actionstep/constants -pack org/actionstep/images org/actionstep/test/ASTestMain -main To change the output of this test, open up org.actionstep.test.ASTestMain (in the test/src classpath), and change line 21 to point to another test class.

RE: [Flashcoders] how to make single cell in the grid non editable?
And it's not fully working in case when user navigates trough datagrid using arrows or enter key. I REALLY REALLY start to hate this v2 standard DataGrid and can't wait until I can use Flex2 components. Are you sure they're so different? It's a very similar framework. I'm sure there is a lot of code reuse...or at least reuse of architectural ideas.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: When singletons go bad
The big difference is that singleton classes have an instance. By having an
instance, the singleton class can inherited functionality as well as
subclasses. There are many more benefits...but it really comes down to how
you're using it. If you don't need inherited functionality, static classes are
fine.

Subject:RE: [Flashcoders] Re: When singletons go bad
Slightly off the subject but why does he have to use getInstance()?
Isn't there a way to use a singleton without calling getInstance? Why can't
he directly use the class like this:
import MyManager;
MyManager.doSomething();
The Math class, Delegate class and other classes let you use methods without
calling getInstance() first.

Just curious if this works better for you:
private function MyManager() {
// constructor
return getInstance();
}
public static function getInstance() : MyManager{
if(_myManager == undefined){
_myManager = new MyManager();
_myManager.init();
}
return _myManager;
}
Sorry, I haven't had the time to follow the whole discussion, but I figured
I'd throw this your way and see if it helps.
Good luck.
