(ActionScript 3) Color Const: grays, html colors, svg colors - mgeduld

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 08:25:55 UTC

This is based on http://www.snipplr.com/view/46082/as3-html-color-keywords-colorname-class/ I found that link really useful, but it's more complex than I needed. I just wanted a simple list of consts. So I ran the above through a regexp and extracted the following code, adding the grays to it. I also added the NO_COLOR const, which I sometimes find useful (and why I used ints intead of uints, which can't ever be negative). Color values are always positive numbers. There's no equivalent to null, because zero is a color (black). So NO_COLOR is my faux null.

(ActionScript 3) Template system (replace items in a string with items from a hash) - mgeduld

This simple construct allows you to replace parts of a string with items in a hash table (e.g. and Object). Example: var replacements : Object = { SPEED : "slow", ADJECTIVE : "green", VERB: "slithers" }; var template: String = "The %{SPEED} %{ADJECTIVE} fox %{VERB} over the %{ADJECTIVE} dog."; trace( makeReplacements( template, replacements ) ); //output: The slow green fox slithers over the green dog.
