I thought I was casting: Function(myObject)
I gotta remember that the function-looking variants do more than cast.
For example:
var o :Object = null;
var s :String = String(o);
trace(s.length); // outputs 4. (s === "null", now)
Apparently Function(args) tries to evaluate the arguments as if they were
code. Switched to casting like (args as Function);

Created a simple MethodQueue utility class that works nearly identically
to UIComponent.callLater().

filtering based on package, but we may not ever use that functionality and
it's far more useful to be able to freely include this Log class without
worrying that it will suck in some flex classes as well.

It's not needed, as the 'int' class has various formatting functions.
These functions can even be called on constants, if you trick the compiler
a little bit by wrapping them in parens:
trace("hex: " + (4097).toString(16));

I will probably repackage everything I placed under "mx" soon...

It was always a little special, since it's dispatched from the client, but
I want it to be handled like other messages so that we can recolor
different parts of the message as I do in metasoy.

Changed the name to _controlledPanel because otherwise it interfered with
subclass _panel variables. (Actionscript won't let variables be masked).

(Time values are ints and start at 0 when the flash player starts up,
there is a different way to read the epoch millis, returned as a double)

In java, if you override a varargs method you can easily call super, you just
have to do a wee cast:
@Override
public Stuff getStuff (int thing, Object... args)
{
return super.getStuff(thing, (Object[]) args);
}
In abjectscript:
override public function getStuff (thing :int, ... args) :Stuff
{
// This doesn't work, because now 'args' to super is an array
// containing OUR args array as its first element.
return super.getStuff(thing, args);
// We can fix things for super by 'apply'ing the function to
// all the args in one array...
args.unshift(thing);
return super.apply(this, args);
// But it could also be the case that someone is intentionally
// passing an array to this method (many flash library methods take
// varargs but also accept arrays and do this same thing).
if (args.length == 1 && (args[0] is Array)) {
args = (args[0] as Array);
}
return super.getStuff(thing, args); // super must ALSO do the unjimmying
// OR, we could combine the two so that super doesn't have to
// do unjimmying.
}
As a note, there is an 'arguments' object that is secretly placed in every
function call, presumably so that callers can test whether an arg is
the default value because the user didn't pass it in or whether it's
the default because the user happened to pass in the default.
Guess yourself, because that doesn't seem worth adding as a language feature.
Anyway, the 'arguments' is not an array! You can't use it to call super
via 'apply'. It's another associative hash. God bless you actionscript,
you just make so much fucking sense.
So I made a utility method for unfucking vargs.
I bitch a lot, yes, but my bitching takes only a fraction of the time
that was wasted discovering whatever it is I'm bitching about
(this was fun to trace backwards to the source, oh yes), and maybe I
can save others some time as a result.

Java to abjectscript: substitution happens differently and the way I left
it last night was less than ideal.

to prepare messages before handing them off to a MessageFormat.
We don't have those in actionscript, so we don't need to prepare.

If a listener was removed during event dispatch, the size of the list
was shrinking and putting the kibosh on listeners at the end of the list.
(The Java side avoids this due to the different way arrays work.)
- Changed the listener and subscriber lists to simple arrays, and make
a copy prior to dispatch so that we don't miss anybody!

(to which any args will be passed), instead of only dispatching
controller commands.
