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);

Ah ok, the reason it wasn't working was that I was casting ClassReference as 
Class instead of Object... Now this works.

var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("Test") as Object;
var bool:Boolean = ClassReference.parse("false"); //would return false;

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");

trace(getDefinitionByName("Test").parse("false"));

Output
false

Something like this simple example:

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

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

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

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;
