Re: [flexcoders] Re: flash.utils.Proxy -- Unable to compile.

If it's not marked dynamic, you'll always get an exception when you try to dereference something that's not explicitly declared. If not, you've found a compiler bug :) However, if you're casting to something that's marked dynamic (such as Object, or *), it won't. And you can always use foo["field"]

Re: [flexcoders] Re: why I can not dispatchEvent with creationComplete?

If you want to listen to events that are dispatched from Application, you need to listen at either Application.application or (better) make them bubble, and listen on the SystemManager. -Josh On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 8:58 AM, stldvd wrote: > OK, here's a little app to demonstrate the problem. I'm

Re: [flexcoders] re-passing variable arguments?

What you're after is usually called a splat. It's not supported quite so explicitly in AS3, but to do what you're after just use Function.apply(). So in your case, it'd be: continueFunction.apply(this, args); -Josh On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 8:58 AM, toofah_gm wrote: > I have a method that accept

I definitely agree with you Gabriel, you wouldn't catch me doing a non-Flex Flash project at all- I was under the impression the OP was *very* concerned about size, although that could just've been my (often lax) comprehension skills :) -Josh On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 2:38 PM, gabriel montagné wrot

What I meant is that you don't seem to be using any Flex functionality beside ArrayCollection, and you'd do fine using Array or Vector. On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 1:56 PM, devenhariyani wrote: > Does anyone know where I can find some good examples of flex apps > written completely in ActionScript 3?

Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...

Depending on what parts of the framework you use, you could probably cut it right down by not using an Application as the "root", and instead using a custom UIComponent that implements IContainer (some methods might be stubs, etc). Container has a *lot* of stuff in it. You should be able to lookup

A quick copy-n-paste from "All Classes" in the ASDoc into textmate gives us 1180 public classes in the API. -Josh On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 10:10 AM, Gordon Smith wrote: > And .mxmlc files like RichTextEditor.mxml ARE classes. But does anybody > really care about an accurate count? > > > > - Gor
