Comment on If /Else Shorthand with the Ternary Operator by rabidgadfly

rabidgadfly — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:03:43 +0000

I find it funny that there’s any argument at all over this common coding technique, let alone the never-ending battle that continues to play itself out here in the comments of a post I wrote over 5 years ago.

That fact is, the more I’ve coded, the more I’ve seen the technique utilized. It was my job for 5 years to debug code that I didn’t write myself, and dealing with ternary conditionals was never a problem.

Knowing an alternative coding technique can only help.

var problem = ( ternary hater ) ? “yours” : null;

Keep learning!

if you ever had to debug a programm you didnt write yourself and somebody is using a lot of ternary operators, or even chains em, you’ll realize its hardly a timesaver…

Comment on Use cf_sql_timestamp for MS SQL and MySQL date types by Kirill

I also just found out that if you use cf_sql_date, hours and minutes get erased and zeros are inserted instead. However using cf_sql_timestamp saves hours and minutes information. MS SQL database.

Comment on Can I access Stage from an AS3 Class with no DisplayObject? by rabidgadfly

Events are great, however, if the class included ‘something with a stage reference’, then a reference to the stage wouldn’t be needed in the first place.

Simply broadcast an event that is caught by something with a stage reference. I’ve read far to much code where people pass the stage around. USE EVENTS!

Comment on Simple XML-Driven Flash AS3 Slider by Fefe

Hi! Thanks for this, I’m just starting with as3. I have a flash site and would like a slider just like this one, but on a frame. Is it possible to have it inside the mc for example? Also your FLA is empty, and if I drag things from the library to reposition and redesign them, it doesn’t work. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this…
I have been having issues with the “export to actionscript” feature and now I finally understand WTF is going on with it…
Your example provided the key I needed to understand how to create dynamic items (versus pre-placing them directly on the stage).

Kudoos to you.
