Overloading not setting Superclass' Property

[dt]

Hi and thanks for the great Library.

I'm having an issue. At first, I thought it was the inheritance bug (unsure if this was fixed in 7.2). However, it doesn't appear to be that after all. Here's some code:

// Doesn't Work
// class shell

private var m_Display:Display;

public function Shell()
{
  var overload:Overload = new Overload();
  overload.addHandler( [Display], ShellByOneDisplay );
  overload.forward( arguments );
}

private function ShellByOneDisplay(inDisplay:Display):Void
{
  this.m_Display = inDisplay;
  trace( 'shell display = ' + m_Display ); // displays [type Display]
}

// Application
var display:Display = new Display();
var shell:Shell = new Shell(display);
trace( shell.display ); // undefined

If I just set the property in the constructor, then everything is set fine, and I can trace out the [type Display] in the application.

Any ideas on why this is not setting the property correctly? Thanks.

Hi,

Your problem is in your overload declaration I think...
When you declare your overload, you have to define what you 're going to overload...

So your line :
----------------------------------------------
var overload:Overload = new Overload();
----------------------------------------------

must be tranformed in :
----------------------------------------------
var overload:Overload = new Overload(this);
----------------------------------------------

And all works well now ;)
I have test it with these classes :
----------------------------------------------
import org.as2lib.env.overload.*;

class Shell
{

    private var m_Display:Display;
    
    public function Shell() {
        var overload:Overload = new Overload(this);
        overload.addHandler([], ShellByDefaultDisplay );
        overload.addHandler([Display], ShellByOneDisplay );
        overload.addHandler([String], ShellByOneStringDisplay)
        overload.forward(arguments);
    }
   
    public function getDisplay(Void) : Display {
        return m_Display;
    }
   
    private function ShellByOneDisplay(inDisplay:Display) : Void {
        m_Display = inDisplay;
    }
   
    private function ShellByOneStringDisplay(sDisplay:String) : Void {
        m_Display = new Display(sDisplay);
    }
   
    public function ShellByDefaultDisplay(Void) : Void {
        m_Display = new Display();
       
    }
   
}
----------------------------------------------
And it's Ok....

Bye !
