Re: [Flashcoders] How to serialize key events?
What kind of object do you need to save?
The nice thing about this approach is that you can create any object
that you need and put it in the queue.
If you only need a list of buttons pressed, you can have a very simple
object. If you need to include internally generated events, you may need
an object with more properties.
You do not even have store the same type of object each time as long as
you can figure out what object is being returned when you ask for the
next one.

Ron,
Thanks very much for your response. You asked What is wrong with this?. Probably nothing.. Just lack of experience on my part. The class is now actionscript. I'm trying to figure out what's the right kind of Object to pass to the insert(obj:Object) method. Thoughts?
Thanks!
The class:
class Mailbox {
private var numMessages:Number = 0;
private var mailbox:Array = new Array();
public function insert(obj:Object):Void {
trace(Mailbox:: Insert)
mailbox.addElement(obj);
numMessages++;
// notify();
}
public function remove() {
while (numMessages == 0) {
try {
//wait();
} catch (e:Error) {
}
}
var obj:Object = mailbox.firstElement();
mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;
return obj;
}
public function numobj():Number {
return numMessages;
}
public function flush():Array {
var array:Array = null;
if (numMessages 0)
array = new Array();
while (numMessages 0) {
var obj:Object = mailbox.firstElement();
array.addElement(obj);
mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;
}
return array;
}
}

It looks like you add objects to a list and take the first one off the
list. It provides a function to find out if there are any objects in the
queue. What is wrong with this?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to serialize key events?
You might try reading the Java class documents to see what is special
about Vectors as opposed to Arrays in Actionscript.

Does anyone know a simple way to serialize key events?
A Java prog. friend suggested using a Mailbox class to serialize the key
input and provided a class (below) but I don't really understand java Vectors. Ideas?
thanks very much!
import java.util.*;
public class Mailbox {
private intnumMessages = 0;
private Vector mailbox = new Vector();
public synchronized void insert(Object obj) {
mailbox.addElement(obj);
numMessages++;
notify();
}
public synchronized Object remove() {
while (numMessages == 0) {
try {
wait();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
Object obj = mailbox.firstElement();
mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;
return obj;
}
public synchronized int numobj() {
return numMessages;
}
public synchronized Vector flush() {
Vector vector = null;
if (numMessages 0)
vector = new Vector();
while (numMessages 0) {
Object obj = mailbox.firstElement();
vector.addElement(obj);
mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;
}
return vector;
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] How to serialize key events?
The array class does not have addElement or removeElement methods.
Read the docs for push and splice.
