Re: [Flashcoders] vars with $

2006-08-18 Thread Greg Burch 

Using $ in flash is just wierd :). There is no special meaning - I
don't think it should even be valid.

I've used it to indicate arguments in a function to clarify the origin of
the variable, like this:

function myFunc($arg1,$arg2){
trace($arg1+ : +$arg2);
}

I don't know where I picked that up, but for me it makes the code easier to
read since you know immediately they are arguments.  I've seen people use
the underscore for the same purpose, but that can confuse things since
ActionScript uses that for some native properties (_x,_y).

Does anyone else do this, or am I just in my own little universe?

In addition, some programmers also use $ to indicate a string.

I know PHP uses it and TorqueScript use $ and % to differentiate
between
global ($) and local (%) variables but it has no special meaning in
Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript preprocessor

Change eclipse to use JRE 1.4 and your problem with ANT will go away.

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Actionscript preprocessor


 I am currently using Eclipse, MTASC and ANT for my development (on
 Windows), and this is working well.  However, while I currently have
 release and debug ANT targets, these really only change a couple of
 MTASC compile options (ie tracing).  I have decided that a better
 solution is needed, to allow a release build to exclude NetDebug, to
 automatically change some config options, and also to integrate build
 numbers.

 So, preprocessing.  After some searching, I found cpp (
 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/ ), filepp (
 http://www.cabaret.demon.co.uk/filepp/ ), and jappo (
 http://jappo.opensourcefinland.org/ ).

 However.

 cpp - linux application, the only Windows version I can see is via
 cygwin.  And installing this on every development machine, for a single
 utility seems overkill.  Plus, cpp seems to have the least features, and
 the filepp docs suggest it may leave strange comments in output files.

 filepp - Perl module, which should be fine (all development machines
 have ActivePerl installed).  Except the download contains source files,
 and a bash script to create the application.  So, again I'm kind of
 stuck being on Windows.

 jappo - Java .jar, with ANT integration.  Sounds perfect.  Except that
 after I work out how to reference the jar correctly in EclipseAnt and it
 runs, it gives errors about missing classes (ie
 org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI ).  I downloaded the XPath addon for
 Eclipse, but this didn't help.  I can't run any of the jappo samples
 either, as I don't have the Java SDK (currently downloading).


 Has anyone successfully used a preprocessor for Actionscript on Windows,
 and do you have any suggestions?

 Regards,
 Grant Cox
