Re: [Flashcoders] class instance and var getting overwritten
As far as I know (but haven't tested in depth, as I can't be bothered) it only applies to Objects - i.e. Array etc. Assignment of simple types ( var fred:Number=5 or var jim:String="test") seems to work as expected. I'm not saying it _is_ a bug - I just find it odd. :-) Ian On 10/21/05, quinrou . <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > oh yes it works...!!! nice one...! > thanks a lot for clearing this out! that doesn't make any sense... hope MM > will sort out this bug soon rather than later. > > is that true for any type of variables?

Re: [Flashcoders] class instance and var getting overwritten
oh yes it works...!!! nice one...!
thanks a lot for clearing this out! that doesn't make any sense... hope MM
will sort out this bug soon rather than later.
is that true for any type of variables? Number, Boolean...

Re: [Flashcoders] class instance and var getting overwritten
Hi Seb,
If you move the new Array() call into your constructor like so:
import com.seb_lib.utils.Delegate;
class aclass
{
private var target:MovieClip;
private var someObject:Array;
public function aclass(target:MovieClip)
{
this.target = target
someObject=new Array();
init();
}
...it should work.
It's an oddity of AS2 which I don't quite understand (seems to go against
all sense) and I've always vaguely wondered whether it's a compiler bug...
if the variable were marked 'static' it'd make sense. Oh well!
HTH,
Ian

[Flashcoders] class instance and var getting overwritten
Hi all,
I am having a very odd issue with a class I made. What happens is that one
of a private variables declare in that class get overwritten when there's
more than 1 instance of that class. It seems that this var "someObject" is
common to all instances of the class. Which defites the purpose of classes.
this is a sample of the code that i am using.
import com.seb_lib.utils.Delegate;
class aclass
{
private var target:MovieClip;
private var someObject:Array = new Array();
public function aclass(target:MovieClip)
{
this.target = target
init();
}
private function init():Void
{
for (var i:Number=0; i<7; i++)
{
someObject[i] =
{
name:undefined
};
target["c"+i].onRelease = Delegate.create(this, handleClick, target["c"+i],
i);
}
}
private function handleClick(mc:MovieClip, id:Number):Void
{
for (var i:Number=0; i<7; i++)
{
trace(target +" - "+ someObject[i].name)
}
for (var i:Number=0; i<7; i++)
{
someObject[i].name = mc._name
}
for (var i:Number=0; i<7; i++)
{
trace(target +" - "+ someObject[i].name)
}
trace("**")
}
}
USAGE:
i then create 2 instances of the class where i am passing 1 argument which
is a mc. each of these mc contains 7 buttons (could be less but the class i
am using defines 7 buttons...).
import aclass;
var d:Array = new Array()
for(var i=0; i<2; i++)
{
d.push(new aclass(this["wheel"+i]))
}
OUTPUT:
-
i then trace what's in the someObject before the click and after the click.
as well as this i also output the parent mc of the button which was the
argument passed in the constructor.
from the output we can conclude that someObject is sort of common for the 2
intances... this is driving me nuts...!!! how is that possible, hey?
someObject is private and also I have 2 instances of that class so i should
also have 2 intances of someObject, one for each instance
