Mimicking typedef in ActionScript?
I'm working on some ActionScript code that needs to juggle a bunch of similar-but-not-interchangeable types (eg, position-in-pixels, internal-position, row-and-column-position) and I'm trying to come up with a naming scheme to minimize the complexity.
Additionally, I don't yet know what the best format for the "internal position" i开发者_运维百科s – using int, uint and Number all have advantages and disadvantages.
Normally I'd solve this with a typedef:
typedef float pixelPos;
typedef int internalPos;
typedef int rowColPos;
Is there any way of getting similar functionality in ActionScript?
If you're using Flex or another command-line compiler to build your project, you could add a pass from an external preprocessor to your build process.
Doesn't get the type-safety, but otherwise appears to do what you want.
I have found an article titled Typedefs in ActionScript 3, which suggests using:
const pixelPos:Class = int;
But that doesn't work – the compiler complains that "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: pixelPos" (note: this also happens when I use Object
instead of int
).
Here is an example of code which doesn't compile:
const pixelPos:Class = int;
function add3(p:pixelPos):void { // <-- type not found on this line
return p + 3;
}
Just make it static const and you can register your own class. Like this:
static const MyClass:Class = int;
And you can't make a variable with this type:
var ert:MyClass; //error
private function ert2():MyClass {}; //error
But you can make an instance:
var ert:* = new MyClass();
