Isn’t the behaviour of closures in AS3 the same as in Java Script ? Yes, JavaScript does exactly the same thing. As does Python. And others. Although you define ‘var imageData’ inside the ‘for’, for loops do not introduce a new scope in these languages; in fact the variable imageData is bound in the containing … Read more
First of all ActionScript 3 and JavaScript are both defined in ECMA-262 so they have a lot in common. Both languages feature prototype inheritance for instance. It is however not correct that ActionScript fully implements ES4. ActionScript implements a couple of features that are not defined in ECMA-262 and some — but definitely not all … Read more
as3.x = centerX + radius * cos(angle) as3.y = centerY + radius * sin(angle) Note that the rotation in the picture linked to is in the “negative direction”. I.e, an increase of the angle, yields a counter-clockwise rotation.
Adobe does this as a sort of security measure to ensure users are the ones messing with files rather than potentially harmful code. My understanding is that they enforce this by only allowing handlers of (click?) events that originate from UI components to execute the FileReference methods, so generating your own events programmatically will not … Read more
Create instances of classes dynamically by name. To do this following code can be used: //cc() is called upon creationComplete private var forCompiler:FlagFrance; //REQUIRED! (but otherwise not used) private function cc():void { var obj:Object = createInstance(“flash.display.Sprite”); } public function createInstance(className:String):Object { var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class; var instance:Object = new myClass(); return instance; } … Read more
In realy I advise to you don’t to use this too much… it is very expensive. Adobe need to create a native function to return this to us. But, for now… try this: You will need to cause a explicit coercion to get it! Because when you make and explicit coercion you get an Error … Read more
Update Nov 2018: It would appear that Structure101 (new download page) no longer has an ActionScript variant. Original answer, links outdated: Download Structure101g and select the Actionscript flavor after installing the software. I’ve confirmed that it is able to map out class level and even function call dependencies in Flex/AS3 projects, and generate a visual … Read more
You are trying to write a DisplayObject into the file directly, this is prevented by Flash engine due to the way Flash handles default serialization of any object. In order to save a DisplayObject into the external resource, you need to employ IExternalizable on that object’s class and any class of objects you will plan … Read more
You need to use flash.net.registerClassAlias. So if I had a class like this: package com { public class Bob { public var myArray:Array; } } I could do this: registerClassAlias(“com.Bob”, Bob); Then you can save Bob class objects into your shared objects (or rather retrieve them again) Full example: //register the class – you only … Read more
Finally, I figured it out. Prerequisites: AIR runtime 24+ Android 6+ APK must be published with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (otherwise it is automatically DENIED – that what I was stuck at) Then, this code works for me just fine, it displays Android’s “Grant Permission” dialog and then outputs GRANTED or DENIED with regard to my choice. … Read more
