Re: [Flashcoders] Bizare...AS3.0 packages have methods?

It's a method of the package.

When you create an AS 3 class you can put methods inside the package {}
block, but outside any class definitions.

I'm not sure why it works that way, but that's the way it works.

Another one that looks even weird is flash.util.getTimer.  Adding camel case 
makes it weird, but in usage it's not so bad.  If you do:

import flash.util.trace;

You can then just do:

trace(normal);

In your classes.

Yeah - if I had £1 for every time I said - hmmm, I wish I could redirect all
the traces to a different function (like a screen logger) without changing
my code too much... I have at least £10. :)

 There are many functions that just perfectly without class in front of

 For example those you mentioned. When I was implementing my trace utils I
 was forced to import fmethod.debug.* and still having to type every time
 DebugUtils.log();

 now I could just make it package method and type log(); ... it's great to
 have that

RE: [Flashcoders] Bizare...AS3.0 packages have methods?

2005-10-31 Thread Mark Lapasa 
:/

Something like trace should be globalized (but somehow could be overrided).
I guess I can't have everything. In MM's anti-method-globalization approach,
it seems like a whole bunch of handy methods like...

trace()
fscommand()
getTimer()
LoadVars.send()

...got kicked out of the global house and have no class of their own to call
their home. So it seems they've been squished in with package definitions.
Better than accessing static methods like DebugUtils.log() I guess.

The reason why all of this is of any concern to me is that I am attempting
to write solid AS2.0 today that has the potential to be migrated to AS3.0
tommorow. The reason why I havn't gone head first into AS3.0 is that my
present target audience is Flash Player 7.

   Easy to migrate (for the mentioned functions) in a single line of code:

import flash.util.*

   Then your trace() calls will work just like the do now.
