Look into the [Inspectable] metadata tag. If you place it before a class variable or property, then setting the class under the component definition will automatically populate the parameters.
class MyClass { //... [Inspectable(defaultValue="default")] public var myVar:String; [Inspectable] public function get myProp():Number { return _prop; } public function set myProp(value:Number):Void { _prop = isFinite(value) ? Math.floor(value) : 0; } private var _prop:Number; //... } There are other options: enumeration, different types, etc. On 2/16/07, David Cohn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey all, As per my earlier thread, I've been playing around with the "Component Definition" dialog box in order to create a class which extends MovieClip, where the class can be "passed parameters" (or, set in the Parameters tab as the case may be). This seems to implement what I want, but I'm puzzled about the behavior of the "Component Definition" dialog box. What I do is: -- Set "Linkage...": AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass -- Open "Component Definition..." and enter Parameters like: Parameters: Type sType typeA String Degree nDegree 37.5 Number -- Now, what puzzles me is the behavior of the "AS 2.0 Class" field in this dialog box: AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass(val) -- this seems to work; the parameters are set correctly for the instance. Puzzlement 1: "val" can be *anything*, as long as it's just one word (e.g. it can't be "sType,nDegree") and the parameters are set correctly! AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass() -- this gives me a syntax error AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass -- Puzzlement 2: this causes all the parameters to disappear next time the dialog box is open, and the parameters aren't set for the instance! Am I using this thing right? I can't make heads or tails of what's going on!
