Re: [Flashcoders] What's the dollar symbol for?
Hi Steve, It is just a way of naming variables. The Adobe docs say this about it: Variable names can only contain letters, numbers, and dollar signs ($). Do not begin variable names with numbers. Variables must be unique and they are case-sensitive in Flash Player 7 and later. If you look further in his code you see he also uses it for the comments: _data.gd$comments _data.gd$comments.gd$feedLink _data.gd$comments.gd$feedLink.countHint Hope this helps you, Sid On May 5, 2009, at 10:42 AM, Stephen Matthews wrote: Hi, I am working with Martin Legris's great Youtube API class and wondered what this was ( _data.gd$rating ) What does the dollar symbol do?

Re: [Flashcoders] What's the dollar symbol for?
Not really.. The guidelines specify to prepend a getter/setter with a dollar sign if it overrides an inherited getter/setter. quote If a class overrides a getter/setter and wants to continue to expose the base getter/setter, it should do so by implementing a property whose name is the base name with a $ prepended. This getter/setter should be marked final and should do nothing more than call the supergetter/setter. /quote gd$comments gd$rating gd$feedLink AFAIK, those have nothing to do with that. If they did, they would be: $gdComments $gdRating $gdFeedLink indicating overriding inherited properties: gdComments, gdRating, gdFeedLink Again, my guess is they want to indicate they represent the GData API xml ellements which use the gd namespace. http://code.google.com/intl/nl-BE/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#GData_elements_reference I haven't looked at the YouTube API at all by the way, so I'm just guessing :) regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Ivan Dembicki ivan.dembi...@gmail.com To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 1:35 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] What's the dollar symbol for?

[Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tool for decompiling SWFs (and if possible SWCs) written in ActionScript 3? Must run on MacOS 10.5. I was considering buying the SoThink SWF Decompiler for Mac, but unfortunately it often crashes when I select an SWF I just built with Flex Builder 3, and even when it doesn't crash, the trial version doesn't display ActionScript code. Incidentally, I have no intention of ripping off anyone else's ActionScript code. Quite the contrary, I'm developing new code, and want to see what people using a decompiler would be able to figure out if I don't use obfuscation. If I conclude that obfuscation is necessary at all, I'll need a decompiler to evaluate obfuscation options... -Gerry ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] AS3: Inserting text into textInput field via code... can't do it?
Hi, I need to place some text into a input text field - the user needs to be able to edit some text (from a database) and submit it back to a database. So far, though, I've been unable to pass any vars to the input textfield like this: datatext.text = database_vars; do I need to handle input textfields differently than a dynamic textfield? thanks. -- Carl Welch http://www.carlwelch.com http://blog.jointjam.com carlwelchdes...@gmail.com 805.403.4819 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
