On 18 Jun 2006, at 18:22, D_C wrote:
the delegate class seems to be a hack to get around this - like "call
back (aka delegate) an instance of the class i am handing you"
why not just pass the method itself?
It is a standard way of solving scoping problems such as yours.
If you just pass the init method, init will be a new function called
within the scope of xmlData - It will have access to the loaded xml
and the XML object methods, but none of the properties or methods of
MyWidget. In short it is the same as calling 'myWidgetInstance.init'.
And could be written...
xmlData.onLoad = function( bSuccess:Boolean ):Void
{
// I want to do layout stuff here
// BUT I only have access to XML methods and properties!!!
// even if you could, sending me the xml as another parameter is
no help,
// I already have that info at my fingertips
// I cannot call MyWidget methods or properties
};
By using Delegate as in my earlier message, init will run within the
scope of the MyWidget instance, where it has access to all the
methods and properties of MyWidget which xmlData from which you can
extract what you need (assuming the boolean was true).
Search the Flashcoders archives for Delegate - there are plenty of
threads offering alternative explanations and examples. Also check it
out in the manual. And here... http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/

Re: [Flashcoders] XML load within an object
class MyWidget {
function myWidget(xmlFile) { // constructor
case problem in your code - myWidget needs to be MyWidget to be the
constructor.
is there another pattern for doing this?
I'd declare xmlData as a property of the MyWidget class, so it will
have scope throughout the class and use 'Delegate' to run init within
your class scope rather than in the xmlData object scope.
Then you will have access to it in your init function without having
to somehow pass it in, in the way you are attempting.
So adjusting your code as per my advice (Not tested)...
class MyWidget
{
private var xmlData:XML;
function MyWidget( xmlFile ) // constructor
{
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.load( xmlFile );
xmlData.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create( this, init );
}
function init( bSuccess ):Void
{
if( bSuccess )
{
// do layout stuff here
// you have scope access to the loaded xmlData object
// and scope of the rest of MyWidget
}
}
}

Third, it's good to name private properties using a naming
convention that allows you to easily identify in your code the fact
that it is a class property. I prepend a "p" to the variable name,
others like prepending a "_" character. Do whatever you want, just
use it consistently.
Not wishing to diminish Nathen's advise, it may be useful to know how
to distinguish between parameters and properties sharing the same
name in a class...
class Example
{
private var theNum : Number; // class property
function Example()
{}
public function changeNum( theNum : Number ):Void
{
// to set class property theNum to the value of method parameter
theNum
this.theNum = theNum;

You need to deal with setValue being given value in the case where
there is no detail to be displayed in the cell, and set the
renderer's child objects to whatever you want their empty state to be.
My own approach use something like...
public function setValue( sLabel:String, oItem:Object,
sState:String ):Void
{
if( oItem.icon != undefined )
{
// we have an item to display in this cell
// load icon, set text etc.
}
else
{
// The cell should be empty
// set child objects to their empty state,
// i.e. remove the icon if one was rendered last time
// and clear the text
}
}
check this posting...

"Remember that cells are constantly recycled with new values. Every
time setValue is called, be prepared to clear whatever might already
