Re: [Flashcoders] calling public static methods on Class using getDefinitionByName

2008-06-25 Thread jonathan howe 
On a related note, I noticed this syntax in Flash help this morning:

var componentClass:Class = e.target.selectedItem.data as Class;
var styles:Object = componentClass[getStyleDefinition].call(this);

 var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName(Test) as Object;

 Nice
 Then maybe this works too (no compiler available right now, so just
 guessing):

 var c:Class = getDefinitionByName(Test) as Class;
 (c as Object).parse(false);

Something like this simple example:

var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(Test) as Class;

var bool:Boolean = ClassReference.parse(false); //would return false;

[Flashcoders] calling public static methods on Class using getDefinitionByName

2008-06-23 Thread Patrick Matte | BLITZ 
Does anybody know if it's possible to call a static method of a reference to a 
class created with getDefinitionByName without actually creating an instance of 
the object?


Something like this simple example:

var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(Test) as Class;

var bool:Boolean = ClassReference.parse(false); //would return false;

Ok I've found a way to do it, but it's not really clean. Would there be any way 
to make the code better?

So writing this :

var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(Test) as Class;
var bool:Boolean = ClassReference[parse](false); // returns false

is the same as this :

var bool:Boolean = Test.parse(false);  // returns false

Never really tried that, but an interesting question!
Here's all I got so far:

var c:Class = getDefinitionByName(MyClass) as Class; // or: var c:Class =
MyClass;
 trace( c[parse](false) );

I'll keep trying, maybe I can find a cleaner way

Oh, right, you already found that out... That slow mail server from mine...
