Re: [Flashcoders] XML loading and parsing problem

about the use of Delegate for the XML loader.
You comment about 'this' was completely wrong.. ;-)
You're right if you say that *you don't have to* use Delegate to be able to
access variables outside an onLoad hander, but the fact
remains that the scope has changed, and that's the important part.
When you do this:
var foo = bar;
test.onLoad = function(success) {
trace(foo);
}
you're relying on Flash to look up the variable (which it will) and that's why
it works.
Things also get more complicated/missleading when you do something like this:
var foo = bar;
function loadHandler() {
trace(foo);
}
test = new XML()
// etc..
test.onLoad = loadHandler;
Seeing it like that (nice and together) one could note that the loadHandler
function runs in a different scope than the one it
resides in (the timeline).
But what if the loadHandler function and the onLoad assignment are separated by
100 lines of code?
Then things aren't that obvious anymore and leads to missleading code.
Using Delegate is just one of those best practices and should be used at all
times, even if it kinda works without.

OK, my comment about 'this' isn't completely right, but I am certainly right

If you don't use the Delegate class and try and access the attributes of a
class within an onLoad function, you won't have access
to the class atrributes, so you must use a delegate.
If you don't use the Delegate class on the main timeline and try and access
the variables declared on the timeline you will be
able to access them, so you don't have to use a delegate.
Stick the following code onto the timeline and see how you get on..

Thanks Fruber for the reply to my question The link should return some xml however it appears the server is down so it is unlikely to be up again until Monday.

OK, my comment about 'this' isn't completely right, but I am certainly

You comment about 'this' was completely wrong.. ;-)
Well for lesser beings (from the flash help):
this property
this
References an object or movie clip instance. When a script executes, this
references the movie clip instance that contains the script. When a method
is called, this contains a reference to the object that contains the called
method.
Inside an on() event handler attached to a button, this refers to the
Timeline that contains the button. Inside an onClipEvent() event handler
attached to a movie clip, this refers to the Timeline of the movie clip
itself.
Because this is evaluated in the context of the script that contains it, you
can't use this in a script to refer to a variable defined in a class file.
You're right if you say that *you don't have to* use Delegate to be able
to access variables outside an onLoad hander, but the fact remains that
the scope has changed, and that's the important part.
Well, nobody ever mentioned that - Delegate was proposed as apparently the
only way forward.
When you do this:
var foo = bar;
test.onLoad = function(success) {
trace(foo);
}
you're relying on Flash to look up the variable (which it will) and that's
why it works.
Well that's why *anything* works.
Things also get more complicated/missleading when you do something like
this:
var foo = bar;
function loadHandler() {
trace(foo);
}
test = new XML()
// etc..
test.onLoad = loadHandler;
Seeing it like that (nice and together) one could note that the
loadHandler function runs in a different scope than the one it resides in
(the timeline).
But what if the loadHandler function and the onLoad assignment are
separated by 100 lines of code?
Then things aren't that obvious anymore and leads to missleading code.
I don't see what this has to do with delegate. I can use Delegate and still
have 100 lines of code between it and the function.
Using Delegate is just one of those best practices and should be used at
all times, even if it kinda works without.
Well, best practice wasn't mentioned until now. I think kinda works is
actually does work.
The OP was reporting a problem and many people seemed to suggest that
Delegate was going to help solve the problem, something that was entirely
erroneous.
Best practice, fine. Only practice, no.

Muzak

Thanks, but there is still the other error
1120: Access of undefined property letters. var randomIndex:uint=
Math.floor(Math.random()*letters.length);
Pedro
The property should be letter, so letters is undefined (ie not declared).

Subject: [Flashcoders] writing as for components
hello:
I've found a tutorial
here:http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
named writing ActionScript for Components. I have done all it wants me
to
do
it but i got the following errors:
1120: Access of undefined property letters. var
randomIndex:uint=
Math.floor(Math.random()*letters.length);
1120: Access of undefined property letters return
letters[randomIndex];
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
var letter:Array
The array is letter, not letters ..
Paul
The code:
var letter:Array= [A,B,C,D,E,F,
G,H,I,J,K,L,
M,N,O,P,Q,R,
S,T,U,V,W,
X,Y,Z,];
function getRandomLetter():String {
var randomIndex:uint=Math.floor(Math.random()*letters.length);
return letters[randomIndex];
}
import fl.controls.Button;
var i:uint=o;
var j:uint=0;
var posX:uint=o;
var posY:uint=0;
var buttonSize:uint=25;
while(posYstage.stageHeight){
posX=0;
j=0;
posY=i * buttonSize;
while(posXstage.stageWidth){
posX= j * buttonSize;
var b:Button= new Button
b.setSize(buttonSize,buttonSize);
b.move(posX, posY);
b.label=getRandomLetter();
addChild(b);
j++;
}
i++;
}

Muzak, we all know you bought stock in Delegate back in the day - you're
just protecting your assets. I'm still curious what the Delegate tattoo
looks like...

The OP was reporting a problem and many people seemed to suggest that
Delegate was going to help solve the problem, something that
was entirely erroneous.
I mentioned Delegate in response to this piece of code (posted by Fruber):
gallery.onLoad = function( bSuccess ) { if ( bSuccess ) fun( this ); };
fun( xmlInfo:XML ):Void
{
// perform your XML stuff.
}
And then Omar asked:
quoteMuzak... why Delegate??/quote

Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] onPress events from within a Class
Itai Asseo wrote:
Hi - I am relatively new to Classes and OOP, and have come across a
strange problem... I have a function in a class that creates dynamic
buttons (xml driven). But when I try to actually use the buttons (ala
'onPress = function()') to fire up a different function within the
class, it just won't work. it's like I'm outside the class now, and back
to the main timeline.
Before you suggest me to use the Delegate class, I've already done
that. It works, but the problem is that I have an unspecified amount of
buttons (could be 10, could be 400) -- and each needs to pass a
parameter, or variable to keep score. The Delegate class wouldn't let me
pass any other variables other than which object is passing the onPress
function, and which function to refer it to...
so I'm at a loss. if someone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it.
One way is to create a MyButton clip in the library and attach a class
to it. Something like:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
public var answer:String;
public function dispatchEvent() {};
public function addEventListener() {};
public function removeEventListener() {};
function MyButton() {
super();
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
onRelease = Delegate.create(this, release);
}
private function release():Void {
dispatchEvent({target: this, type: release, answer: answer});
}
}
Then when you create the buttons:
//this is what the onRelease calls
function myButtonRelease(o:Object):Void {
trace(o.answer);
}
//loop stuff
var myButton = theTarget.attachMovie(MyButton, myButton + n,
theTarget.getNextHighestDepth()+n);
myButton.answer = foo;
myButton.addEventListener(release, Delegate.create(this,
myButtonRelease));

Instead of Delegate, use the Proxy class from Person13.com.
