Re: [Flashcoders] Which object called the function
Not sure if this is a solution in your case, but you could identify
the calling function this way...
class Main {
function Main() {
runHello._id = "Main told me to do it...";
runHello();
}
function runHello() {
var a = new A();
a.hello();
}
}
class A {
function A() {}
function hello() {
trace("hello");
trace(arguments.caller._id);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Which object called the function
Hi,
i reread my own post and saw it was a bit short:).
In general though this was one of the reasons i wrote xflas2.
Since its still in alpha (the alpha part is referring to the documentation
or lack of it though, not the state of the code, that is pretty solid now),
the easiest is to download it from osflash and try the different examples.
In short, you'll need to configure the logger, this is in the examples well.
As part of the configuration you'll need to register your classes, through
ClassFinder.registerPackage ("mypackage");
The option ClassFinder.registerAll() has not yet been added.
Once you have done this, you can use Logger.markEntry(arguments).
Lemme know if this works for you or if you'd like any help with it.

use xflas2, from osflash/xflas2 :)
And check the examples, there is a Logger.markEntry call which will print:
ClassA.methodA called from ClassB.methodB.

Hi everyone,
How do you find out which object calls a particular function? Is it
even possible?
Let's say there are two classes:

//I want to know who called me, here
}
}
class Main
{ var a = new A();
function Main()
{

Re: [Flashcoders] Which object called the function
I then call the function from another timeline. How would I use
arguments.caller to return the ID of the object making the call?
You can't, at least not directly. arguments.caller will give you a
reference to the function from within which your method is called. You
can use it to determine if it was called from an instance of a
specific class:
Say you have a class A with the method foo. From within method bar of
class B you want to determine if it was called from an instance of A.
You could test that with if( arguments.caller == A.prototype.foo ).
However, it won't help you to find out from which instance of class A
it was called.

Can you give a code example of this? Let's say I have this function

I then call the function from another timeline. How would I use
arguments.caller to return the ID of the object making the call?

Re: [Flashcoders] Which object called the function
Yes, Suhas -- but the function is scoped to the timeline in which it
was created, not the object doing the calling. So how do you return
the ID of the calling object?

Re: [Flashcoders] Which object called the function
I'd love to know of a solution to this, too. My hack is to give the
function an argument "me":
// declaration:
traceCaller = function(me){
trace (me);
}
// function call traces full path of calling object.:
traceCaller(this);
