In realy I advise to you don’t to use this too much… it is very expensive. Adobe need to create a native function to return this to us. But, for now… try this: You will need to cause a explicit coercion to get it! Because when you make and explicit coercion you get an Error … Read more
Update Nov 2018: It would appear that Structure101 (new download page) no longer has an ActionScript variant. Original answer, links outdated: Download Structure101g and select the Actionscript flavor after installing the software. I’ve confirmed that it is able to map out class level and even function call dependencies in Flex/AS3 projects, and generate a visual … Read more
The theoretical answers from everyone else are all neat, but let’s be pragmatic. ActionScript provides the tools you need so that you don’t even have to write a loop in this case! First, note that Math.min() and Math.max() can take any number of arguments. Also, it’s important to understand the apply() method available to Function … Read more
I think the format produced by Guava’s MoreObjects.toStringHelper() is pretty nice, but it’s mainly just good to have some consistent format that you use: public String toString() { return Objects.toStringHelper(this) .add(“prop1”, prop1) .add(“prop2”, prop2) .toString(); } // Produces “SimpleClassName{prop1=foo, prop2=bar}”
You can get it through the ‘constructor’ property of the base Object class. i.e.: var myClass:Class = Object(myObj).constructor;
As the Documentation says: “The default value of offset is -1, which defaults the switching behavior to standard. In this mode, the server determines a good transition point between the streams forward in time from the point it receives the switch call, and switches at that point.” So you have to change the ‘offset’ parameter … Read more
Rejection sampling (such as in your solution) is the first thing that comes to mind, whereby you build a lookup table with elements populated by their weight distribution, then pick a random location in the table and return it. As an implementation choice, I would make a higher order function which takes a spec and … Read more
The call stack is viewable when you click on the ‘Debug’ button on the bottom toolbar: Specifically, the call stack is as highlighted below : You may also be interested in an alternative threads view, enabled by clicking the ‘Restore threads view’ button: Here is a bit of official documentation around debugging that you may … Read more

This is a classic problem with Internet games and contests. Your Flash code works with users to decide a score for a game. But users aren’t trusted, and the Flash code runs on the user’s computer. You’re SOL. There is nothing you can do to prevent an attacker from forging high scores: Flash is even … Read more
