Re: [Flashcoders] closures
You mean like
button.onRelease = function() { trace(hello from + this);
obviously not in AS3, you would have to write few more lines...
I guess it's okay as long as it works and does what you want along with
the hope that you can easily fix it when it breaks in the latest browser
6 months down the line :)
Questions is/are:
Are you writing code you want to re-use?
Are you wanting to decouple stuff?
Are you wanting to make stuff easy to fix?
Are you just chucking something together?
There are loads of arguments for and against I guess, it's just what you
are happy working with and what suits the job.

(I know that was said tongue in cheek, so this is not a criticism...)
that's going back to AS1/AS2 anonymous functions - why would anyone in
their right mind, unless they had to target earlier versions of
Actionscript, want to go back to that?

Re: [Flashcoders] closures
Hi,
I was sort off slightly off the mark with my example, but having
read up on function closures in AS3 I can sort of see what Anthony
means...
From what I gather, Function Closures in AS3 are any functions /
methods, but people generally mean functions outside of classes when
they talk about function closures, so my example was sort of there
somehow..
Anyway, you may need global functions and package functions - I
guess these would be considered okay by most OOP people, whereas some
people may shun timeline code, although you can use it in AS3 and you
can do some very quick tests with it.
Like I said before, it's down to choice and whether it suits your
needs, so if you need to nest functions, or whatever, it might be easier
and more efficient to do so, it might not - depends on your brief/spec I
guess.
Sometimes just writing functional code is really nice and
therapeutic for me, but it never seems to scale very nicely beyond a
certain point (probably because I have learned too much about classes
and objects to go back).
