Re: RE : [Flashcoders] create object with getDefinition and pass parameters using apply ?
Hey Patrick,
I've run into the exact same issue that you have. Actionscript doesn't
support overloaded methods or constructors at this time, although there is
talk that they are going to add that support at some point in the future.
I have not to this day, found a way to use the apply method on a
constructor.
I'm working on a DateTime class that can proxy for a Date class. I had to
do something very similar to what you're doing:
http://natebeck.net/swag/trunk/src/net/natebeck/core/DateTime.as (Look at
the constructor)
I've even tried something like this:
_date = new Date(... args); // - Make this work, please :D
But I get an interesting error: 1199 : RestExpressionNode not yet
implemented.
Another train of thought would be to do something very similar to a
singleton pattern. Instead of using the constructor, always call a method.
myClass.getInstance().doSomething().
But that still doesn't solve the creation of a class with n-number of
parameters.
I understand what you're trying to do, I just haven't found a good way to do
it yet. If you figure something out, be sure to let me know!
Cheers,
Nate

Subject: [Flashcoders] create object with getDefinition and pass

I need to create objects using getDefinition and pass parameter to the
constructor but the problem is that the number of parameters can be
different. I tried using apply like this but I can't make it work.
var classReference:Object = getDefinitionByName(className);
var object:Object = new classReference.apply(this, array);
Is there any way to do this ?

Re: RE : [Flashcoders] create object with getDefinition and pass parameters using apply ?
...args and ... args are both acceptable, it's simply a style of
preference.
What I'm doing is writing a DateTime class that you can use in place of
any Date class. The reason I'm writing the DateTime class is to add
additional functionality that is not currently in the Date class, like
support for Timezones.
It's not yet available for production, but I'm working on it.
