Question

Does Player 10 / Fx4 include advances to runtime reflection / mutability?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there're plans to add better runtime support for reflection and mutability in the Player 10 + Gumbo combo? Things like being able to cast subclasses of Proxy to whatever you please, or assigning "implements" traits at run-time? I'm thinking of devoting a fair bit of my hobby dev time to developing something along these lines for Fx3, but if it's coming soon oficially I'd like to either put it off, or at least try and mimic the API calls as closely as possible :)


Cheers,
-Josh

Dammit, I was 2/3rds through building pretty much the same thing :)

Not much help for the evil runtime stuff I'm thinking of, I'm still trying to research how feasible it is, reading through the AVM2 docs and stuff, but it's looking good so far... The only thing I'm worried about is tripping the security watchguards in Player.

trait at runtime ?

humm unlikely to happen, the trait is not accessible at all from code



maybe what's in here can help

http://code.google.com/p/maashaack/source/browse/#svn/trunk/ES4a/src/system/reflection



some things are missing, like we want to reinject the dynamic/prototype infos

into the XML from the describeType, but still even not optimized ClassInfo

is usefull to us so maybe it could be usefull to you.



cheers,

zwetan

Nope, no plans for something like this, hobby away :-)<br /><br /><br />On 8/20/08 3:57 PM, "Josh McDonald" <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br /><br />A new discussion was started by Josh McDonald in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> Does Player 10 / Fx4 include advances to runtime reflection / mutability?<br /><br />Hey guys,<br /><br />Just wondering if there're plans to add better runtime support for reflection and mutability in the Player 10 + Gumbo combo?
