It is.  It hangs "magically" off of the ActivationObject, and no one has a 
clue how nice that is with the Garbage Collector.  Instead, use a Delegate.

import mx.utils.Delegate;

function connect()
{
mySocket = new XMLSocket();
mySocket.onXML = Delegate.create(this, handleIncoming);
}

function handleIncoming(xmlStr)
{
// this is scoped correctly to the class
trace(this);
parseMessages(xmlStr);
}


>>function connect ()
>>
>>{
>>
>>mySocket = new XMLSocket ();

It always worked for me though. I think in most cases it's just less
hassle than importing the delegate class. But I guess that's just a
matter of taste.

Just create reference to your class. You will need that a lot ...


function connect ()

{

mySocket = new XMLSocket ();
var _obj = this;

mySocket.onXML = function ()
{
_obj.handleIncoming();
  }
}

Hi,

The problem here is scope. When you call parseMessages, you doing it in
the
scope of the mySocket object (where the method doesn't exist.) 


There's a pretty simple workaround for this using the Delegate utility
that
comes with Flash.

At the top of your class file, do this : import mx.utils.Delegate;

Change this line: mySocket.onXML = handleIncoming;
To this: mySocket.onXML = Delegate.create(this,handleIncoming);

And that should solve your problem. Basically you're creating a proxy
function on the XMLSocket object that then invokes the handleIncoming
function on your OSC object. There are other ways to do this, but I
think
the Delegate method is generally considered the best practice.

Hope that helps,

Jim

The Delegate class makes it works like a charm...

On the other hand the self referencing is not working.

Would it work that way (The Delegate class "solution") is an other OOP
language like Java or C++ ?

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP newbie question

2005-11-24 Thread Andy Johnston 
I never have a use for self refencing.. maybe thats just me, feels like 
a dirty hack.



Just create reference to your class. You will need that a lot ...


function connect ()

{

mySocket = new XMLSocket ();
var _obj = this;

 mySocket.onXML = function ()
{
_obj.handleIncoming();
  }
}

Hi,

The problem here is scope. When you call parseMessages, you doing it in
the
scope of the mySocket object (where the method doesn't exist.) 


There's a pretty simple workaround for this using the Delegate utility
that
comes with Flash.

At the top of your class file, do this : import mx.utils.Delegate;

Change this line: mySocket.onXML = handleIncoming;
To this: mySocket.onXML = Delegate.create(this,handleIncoming);

And that should solve your problem. Basically you're creating a proxy
function on the XMLSocket object that then invokes the handleIncoming
function on your OSC object. There are other ways to do this, but I
think
the Delegate method is generally considered the best practice.

Hope that helps,

Jim

Hi,



Here is a OOP newbie question.



I have a class (see below)..



Everything works fine. but the method "handleIncoming" can not access ()
or
maybe even find) the method "parseMessages".

If I give the complete path to the instance of the OSC class (made in my
fla
- for example "_root.OSC_Obj.parseMessages (xmlIn);" ) it works.



How should I code this to make it works ?





class OSC

{



   var mySocket : XMLSocket;

//

//

   public function OSC ()

   {

   connect ();

   }

   //

   //

   function connect ()

   {

   mySocket = new XMLSocket ();

   mySocket.onXML = handleIncoming;

   }

//

//

   function handleIncoming (xmlIn)

   {

   parseMessages (xmlIn);



   }

//

   function parseMessages (node)

   {

actions..

}

}



Thanks for your attention,
