[transform-swf-updates] Status report for week ending July 16th

[News on r. b. a. p. f. T. S. f. J. <tra...@li...>]

Progress This Week:

Most of the work this week was on refactoring (and improving Translate 
SWF). There are a couple of changes to Transform as a result:


API Changes

Removed the following convenience methods from EventHandler since they 
were used temporarily in the upgrade of Translate SWF to version 3:

public static Set<Event> getMovieClipEvents(final int code) {
public static Set<Event> getButtonEvents(final int code) {


Planned Changes:

Ticket #154. Change EventHandler to be an Action.

EventHandler is currently treated as a basic datatype - it implements 
SWFEncodeable, Copyable<Action>. To avoid having to cast every object 
returned by the new version of the Translate Actionscript compiler 
EventHandler will be changed to implement Action (which is also an 
implementation of SWFEncodeable, Copyable<Action>). That allows the 
objects returned by ASCompiler to be a List of Actions rather than a 
list of Object. Adding EventHandlers to DefineButton2 or Place2 or 
Place3 will still require a cast but since the number of handlers is 
typically very small the performance cost (and effort to write the code) 
is negligable.
