ActionScript 2.0

I've got an external AS2 class, and I'm trying to call its constructor... and it's not being called.

The .fla and the class's .as are in the same directory, same folder, and yet it's still failing. The weird thing is there's another class in the same folder, and I'm able to call ITS constructor no problem.

How do I debug this thing?

Use HTML5, problem solved.

You don't, Adobe is dead.

flash is obsolete. use HTML5 if you're trying to use flash for something it was never intended to be used for. use SVG if you're actually using flash for it's intended purpose.

You wouldn't have had this problem if you used Objective-C!

No, mainly because it takes semantics wholesale from Smalltalk (except w/o metaclasses.)

[[[Anus alloc] init] hax]

Lern to HTML 5. It's far superior than Flash.

Flash is Dead
Flex is Dead
Coldfusion is Dead

Use ActionScript 3.0

I'll HTML 5 when I see it in action.  Do you have a link to a website that, without using Flash, surpasses the capabilities of Flash?

ITT web developers think they're programmers.

implying that turing complete languages are somehow better than subturing ones
back to reddit please

/r/programming is where this idea that web devs can play with grown-up programmers came from in the first place.

Also http://www.chromeexperiments.com/ I guess.

There are many more. A few weeks ago I found a really good one, but I can't locate it anymore.

I was sold by the echo3csjs page (though I can't seem to get reliable results from the sketchpad example you listed).

>>16
echo3csjs is an impressive waste of time. Why are these people bothering to develop a javascript application framework that assists in creating noisy, clumsy desktop-like interfaces when browsers are increasingly providing the resources to make whatever they want? And you can do it all in Java! I cannot for the life of me come up with a good reason for this thing to exist.

I wish people would stop using web technologies to make software that behaves like standalone software. What they should be doing is make more standalone software, not dumb interfaces/thinclients.

What's worse is that these programmers now want to do standalone software too, so what do they do? Instead of learning to make proper software, they turn to stuff like AIR. (I'm not claiming I dislike AIR, actually I'm mostly fine with it, as I can decompile most AIR applications, just like Java and .NET ones, and look at the internals as if I had the source without comments/local variables).

>>18
Thinclients serve a purpose. There comes a point where the difference between a website and an application becomes meaningless. Take Gmail. You could require a dedicated email client, but you lose the appeal of webmail. Usually, you also lose portability and uniformity of experience--the loss of the latter owing to differences in ports, which has its advantages. (And it's not like Gmail prevents you from using a standalone email client with their services either.)

>>19
What "appeal"? Even the best webmail is crap compared to a real desktop client such as mutt.

>>20
What "appeal"?
Try the fact that people want webmail. Who cares why or whether they're wrong by your standards. It appeals to them and Google is kind of filthy stinking rich right now so... well, you can't see where this is going.

>>20
if (email.contents =~ interesting) open( email );
goto( friends[any]->abode );
if ( mail.client =~ webmail ) {
        friend.show( email );
        friend.induce( laughter::raucous );
        friend.engage( copulation );
} else {
        struggle_for_conversation();
        die( lonely );
}
