- Unlike in Java, most operators are overloaded for strings:
if (str1 > str2) { // compares asciibetically
- It's pissing me off that some classes magically can use array dereferencing
([]) to do magical things, but there is no clear indication of which classes
support it and which don't: you just have to scan through the class
documentation. Array itself is dynamic, supposedly they needed to do that
to store things in it, but it shouldn't be used as a dynamic class. Some
of the collection-type classes also support []ing as does the arguments
class. Those aren't dynamic though: they're just magical, and as far
as I can tell there's no way to grant this magic to my own classes.
I'd feel better about it if there were some marker interface implemented
by all classes that can be []'d.
- Functions may be declared anywhere, and it seems that they have visibility
to any variables around them at that point, as if they were an inner class
and the variables were final:
var list :ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
list.addItem(foo);
var funcy :Function = function (i :int) :void {
Log.debug("I can see " + list[0]);
};
_savedFunc = funcy;
Then _savedFunc can be called at any later date and it can access list[0]
just fine.
This just might save our butts from insane class proliferation with service
listeners.
