I know a solution may already be found but this was my first thought and I
am curious how any of you feel about switch (true) for this problem
switch (true) {
case loadedDisplayObject is MovieClip:
case loadedDisplayObject is Bitmap:
}
Is switch (true) just bad practice? and does 'is' not

Hello,
I am using this class:
http://code.google.com/p/as3-multiple-file-preloader/
And I need to determine the display object type (i.e. is it MovieClip
or Bitmap).
trace(getQualifiedClassName(loadedDisplayObject));
Gives me this output (in a loop of 3 images and 1 swf loaded):
Micky Hulse skriver:
trace(getQualifiedClassName(loadedDisplayObject));
Would that be the best way to test for MovieClip or Bitmap?
It fails the empty base class test. It is an extremely bad way.

How about up-casting:
var mc:MovieClip = loadedDisplayObject as MovieClip;
if(mc) {
mc.play();
} else {
//could be a bitmap, but if it's not guaranteed, then you might
need to do more tests.
var bmp:Bitmap = loadedDisplayObject as Bitmap;
}

Hi,
If your downcast does not work - the as bit - your variable will
be null -it does not throw exceptions.

If I understand properly what you mean, the contains method is what you're

Hi Mani -
Have you prefixed your localConnectionID with an underscore?
Try _id as opposed to id.
The other gotcha is just to make sure there aren't two instances of the
receiving swf running (as often is the case when using one of the SWF2EXE
tools), since one will capture all the messages and
forgive me if this is implied, but there's always been alot of
misunderstanding about LocalConnection..
LocalConnection is not used to send messages from one machine to
another. It's meant to send messages between 2 or more swf files on
the same machine whether in browser or .exe
