Hi Hans/Charles/To Whom It May Concern > who is complaining?
No-one yet - wait until it's finished and released, only then will the complaints will start rolling in :) > Although I admire all the people who do join public alpha groups etc to > make things better, I dont think that this is should be a must in order to > comment (again, nobody was complaining yet ;)) on a language. I cant > imagine that if i'd join the alpha group and went like 'gimme real > eventlisteners with listener interfaces, gimme dynamic class loading, gimme > anonymous classes, inner classes, multhreading, make it like the java > language with all the cool features of flash, etc' that they'd be real > happy with me;). They'd probably listen a lot more than you expect them to. They're pretty good like that :) >...The way it works: > myObject.addEventListener (PUBLIC_ID, functionObject) is not very strong > typed in my opinion, I would have expected something like > myObject.addFooListener(myFooListener) in which myFooListener implemented > the FooListener interface and addFooListener was declared like > public function addFooListener (f:FooListener). You can strictly type your event objects if you like, as far as I can see - there are lots of built in ones, or you can create custom ones dynamically: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/flash/events/Event.html Is that what you mean? Wouldn't having addFooEvent be a bit difficult to keep track of? Or have I misunderstood? > Another one if the new > additions is that you can put functions in packages, so you no longer need > to wrap m in a class, so now we have function libraries, with at the moment > only one public function per file if im not mistaken. I agree that static > classes might not be the best way either, but this seems even worse to me. > Yeah, I must agree that I'm not too keen on package level functions. We'll see how that pans out I guess... > So there you have it... i commented on AS3 without working with the public > alpha group... yet ;) I'll promise ill the alpha's soon and repent ;). I'm sure the giant secret macromedia listening base in Antarctica has picked up this conversation anyway :) Cheers, Alias _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
