Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugger's not up to it.
variables A and B. How is the debugger going to populate a tree view of the parent object if it does NOT call that getter? Got it. However, to display a variable I would have expected the debugger to just read the memory. In my view, it's a self-evidently poor programming practice to write a property getter which makes changes to the property. Agreed. I am also puzzled as to why some of the variables are not shown, even though they are within scope. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[Flashcoders] Q:Refactoring, private and static variables in AS2
Hi I need a refresher in when to declare Private as well as Static variables when extending another class (in AS2). ie if you have private variables declared in the Super class, is it necessary to (re) declare them in the sub class? What about static variables? Are there a 'best practices' to follow when refactoring to eliminate duplicate variable declarations? Thanks in advance!

[Flashcoders] TextField Var property missing in CS3
I found the var property of the TextField to be very useful.

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField Var property missing in CS3
There is no direct equivalent of this property in AS3 - but in fact it is not necessary at all, it was obsolete since Flash 6 in favour of the TextField class' text property.

[Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app
Hi I have a simple Calendar class which creates a new month display when the application first loads and each time the user changes the month. I need to add appointments on specific days for each month. I have an appointment array, which contains a list of date strings in the format 'month/day/year'. Now to add appointment icons or objects, I iterate thru every day in the current month, then for each day, I iterate thru this appointment array to see if there is a match to one of these date strings. It seems to me there must be a less computationally expennsive way to add appointments to a calenndar, than the way I've described. Or am I wrong?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app
That is a very expensive way to do it.
You should, instead, make a hash and the keys would be the date, and the
values would be an array of appointments for that date.
events = {};
events[month + / + day + / + year] = [];
events[month + / + day + / + year].push(appointment);
Then each day of the calendar would just do a look up of itself in the hash.
events[calendarDate];
You could also store the key as a new Date().getTime() instead of a
string with month/day/year. It's entirely up to you.
HTH!

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app
Using getTime() isn't ideal since that's creating a timestamp based on
milliseconds, which would be unique. The first option is probably the safer
bet to be able to index things by a specific date (as opposed to a time). If
you're using AS3, then I'd say use a Dictionary object (same as a hash,
except you're not using a generic Object).
