If I could get my shell to just play whatever is in a folder then that would be ideal (playing whatever is in that subdirectory). Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate and [self] Argument
Thanks for your reply Steve. I modified the original class to do exactly what you suggested with such a third parameter. You also mention, This was added mainly for the purpose of making it easy to remove event listeners without having to keep an external reference to the delegate functions that were created. Do you have an example of how this might be used? How does the reference to the delegate class itself help allow removal of such event listeners? Or wait--- it's a reference to the function passed in as the second parameter... I'll verify that right now. Jeff.

This extra argument could cause a problem depending upon what your hander function does with parameters, for example if you have a function with a dynamic number of variables. Yeah, my Delegate class doesn't work very well for event handlers that expect a variable number of arguments. This has caused us problems in the past, and we have an internal version of this class that allows you to pass a third argument to Delegate.create that prevents the reference to self being added to the arguments list. Let me know if this might be useful for you and I'll dig it out. The reference to self is passed so that you have a clean and easy way to reference the delegate function in the event handler method. This was added mainly for the purpose of making it easy to remove event listeners without having to keep an external reference to the delegate functions that were created. Of course, you could just use arguments.caller, but that's less obvious.

[Flashcoders] Delegate and [self] Argument
Hi All,
In the delegate class from Steve Webster, there is this line:
var fullArgs:Array = arguments.concat(self.extraArgs, [self]);
I was wondering if anyone knows why there is a reference to self passed to
the handler function. Or how might this be useful? This extra argument could
cause a problem depending upon what your hander function does with
parameters, for example if you have a function with a dynamic number of
variables.
I'm debating whether I should keep this [self] reference in a helper
function I wrote (see below), that is similar to delegate.
JJ
Here's the short helper function I wrote: it executes a function after a
specified delay and repeats the call if the optional 'repeat' variable is
passed in
//
// Two ways to use this function
//delay( timeDelay, target, handler )
//delay( timeDelay, repeat, target, handler )
public static function delay( timeDelay:Number ):Void
{
// Create the timeDelay function
var timerDelay:Function = function()
{
// Get reference to self
var self:Function = arguments.callee;
// Augment arguments passed from broadcaster with additional
args
// Note: The [self] array addition passes a reference to the
callee itself and passes
// this as a parameter to the handler which could cause
unforseen problems. It is not
// clear to me why delegate passes this reference.
var fullArgs:Array = arguments.concat(self.extraArgs, [self]);
self.repeat--;
if( self.repeat == 0 )
{
clearInterval( self.intervalId );
}
// Call handler with arguments
return self.handler.apply(self.target, fullArgs);
};
// Pass in local references
// The arguments passed in have different meaning whether we have
// repeat variable or not
if( typeof( arguments[1] ) == number )
{
timerDelay.repeat = arguments[1];
timerDelay.target = arguments[2];
timerDelay.handler = arguments[3];
timerDelay.extraArgs = arguments.slice(4);
}
else
{
timerDelay.repeat = 1;
timerDelay.target = arguments[1];
timerDelay.handler = arguments[2];
timerDelay.extraArgs = arguments.slice(3);
}
// start the timer interval
timerDelay.intervalId = setInterval( timerDelay, timeDelay );
}

[Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?
I'm wondering if, when I use the Delegate class to set the scope of an
event handler, is it possible to reference the previous scope? My
problem is this...
I have a class which implements a menu. Each menu item is a movieclip
and I add new menu items by calling a function called addChild like
this.
var myMenu: new Menu();
myMenu.addChild( Item1 );
myMenu.addChild( Item2 );
In class Menu, the function addChild does something like this,
funciton addChild( txt:String ):Void
{
// make new mc, with a text field and set the txt
myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease );
{
function onMenuRelease( ):Void
{
// here I want to access class variable No problem!
// now I want to change properties of myNewMc! How do I access it?
// If I have 12 menu items, how can I know which one was triggered
the onRelease!?
}
So, when I get to the onRelease event handler, is there a way to
reference the scope of the MC that the event hander is attached to?
Or, because I used Delegate has the mc scope been lost and I need to
somehow keep track of that by, perhaps setting a focus variable or
something...
Makes sense?
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?
This is exactly what I was looking for, cheers Mark and Morten! myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease, myNewMc ); Previously, I kept a reference to my class in mc variable, which wasn't so bad codewise... not sure if there are other side effects to doing that. Re: Matt can you not add your children in a loop? The children or menu items are added and removed dynamically by calling add/remove child ( and then I animate them on and off) from some other class that wants to use the menu ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
