[Flashcoders] Optimising file size - stripping down intrinsics ...

2008-09-17 Thread SJF
Hello, Anyone have a starting point or advice in terms of stripping down flash native/intrinsic AS3 classes - with a goal of file optimization? For example, in an application I'm building, I need less than half the attributes and capabilities of the Sprite class - so any pointers for how to strip

I've often seen people trying to highly optimise file sizes and IMHO it's a wasted exercise unless there are very strict guidelines for file size or existing file sizes are highly excessive. I can't help but think that stripping away parts of core classes is overkill. There's has to be a better

Hi, I got this loop that creates some MovieClips one under another. for (var i:uint = 0; i < data.length; i++) { var R1:ResultLink = new ResultLink(data[i].CompanyName, data[i].CompanyId); // R1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void {trace(R1.Label)}); BlackBox.addChild(R1)

Hi, the problem is that by the time the event fires and your inline function is called, R1 points to the last object created in the loop. However, an event object is passed to the handler function. The target property of that object cointains a reference to the object that fired it, so you can do
