Some AS3 Constants
This is nice. We now have some constants that we can use instead of “magic strings”. What I mean, is that we have something kin to pre-made Enums for some common values in AS3.
At this moment, I think they’re actually static public const’s, not real Enums. So, I think that these flash classes just have something like this declared:
static public const EXAMPLE:String = "example";(This is confirmed here.)
Nonetheless, they are a welcome sight (if they were in AS2, I never knew it.) Here are just a few examples. There are others that are easy enough to find with a little “code assist” searching.
flash.display.StageScaleMode flash.display.GradientType flash.events.MouseEvent flash.events.KeyboardEvent flash.events.FocusEvent flash.events.DataEvent flash.events.Event (well, you get the point. there are more of these flash.events.XXXXX.) Math
