RE: [flexcoders] initializing global variables

[Matt Chotin]

If you need this thing to be done right at startup you can consider a static method like we’ve recommended in the past to make a faceless object an event dispatcher.   <mx:Script>   public static var foo:String;   static function initGlobal():Boolean   {     foo = someValue;     return true;   }   private static staticsInited : Boolean = initGlobal(); </mx:Script>   Now you can refer to this property as MyApplication.foo (note MyApplication is the name of your MXML file).   You can also just use a singleton somewhere to hold onto your globals, not everything has to hang off of Application.application.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 7:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] initializing global variables   The behavior is apparently by default.. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/00000505.htm On 7/20/05, JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is their creationPolicy not set to "all"?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Modien To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] initializing global variables   Ya i did try to use the initialize handler... but apparently it get's called "after" the initialize handler of my grandchild.

My grandkids and my kids get initialized before I do? (The application) Uhh... how am I supposed to setup the any global vars in the app? Even the creationCompletes of my grandkids fires before the app does. What's the first event to fire in the Application that I can use to initialize a global var? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
