Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Class Array bug - Please verify

[Judah Frangipane]

Hi Glenn,

Flash is still treating the array as a static member.
// treated as an instance variable
var myArray1:Array;
// treated as a static variable
var myArray2:Array = new Array();

Test this code:

// in actions frame 1
import myClass

trace("Creating instance a")
var a = new myClass();
a.addToArray();
a.addToArray();
a.addToArray();
trace("Creating instance b")
var b = new myClass();

// in class
class myClass {
   // treated as an instance variable
   var myArray1:Array;
   // treated as a static variable
   var myArray2:Array = new Array();
   static var myArray3:Array = new Array();
  
   function myClass() {
       trace(" myArray1.length="+myArray1.length)
       trace(" myArray2.length="+myArray2.length)
       trace(" myArray3.length="+myArray3.length)
   }

   function addToArray() {
        myArray1.push(10);
        myArray2.push(10);
        myArray3.push(10);
   }
}

Hey Judah,

Try this:

class myClass {
   // initialize the array in the declarations
   private var myArray:Array = new Array();

   function myClass {
      trace("myArray.length="+this.myArray.length)
   }

   public function addToArray() {
      this.myArray.push(10);
      this.myArray.push(20);
   }
} // end class

Run your code again, I think it'll execute the way you're expecting it to at
that point...

Peace...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash Class Array bug - Please verify

It seems like Flash is creating static members out of public arrays that 
are initialized in the class declaration. Can someone confirm this? Is 
this not legal, is it implied behavior or a bug?

// create a class called myClass
class myClass {
   // initialize the array in the declarations
   var myArray:Array = new Array();

   function myClass {
      trace("myArray.length="+myArray.length)
   }

   function addToArray() {
      myArray.push(10)
      myArray.push(20)
   }

}


// on the actions frame
import myClass

var a = new myClass();
a.addToArray();
a.addToArray();
a.addToArray();
var b = new myClass();

// trace outputs
myArray.length=0
myArray.length=3
