I want my own package function! | Thread profile

Hey guys. I know that this is not in the best practices manual, but I need to place a method DIRECTLY inside a package of mine. Pretty much like flash does with the as3 new flash.utils.* package methods. Could anyone guide me on this ... I've been searching around hardly with zero results. Tanks!

I don't remember, but: ActionScript Code: package s. utils { public function doSomething ( ) : int { return 1 ; } }

Ok, but when calling the method from outside, how would it be? Maybe something like: (please confirm) ActionScript Code: import s. utils .* this . doSomthing ( ) ;

(Like I said on GTAL) ActionScript Code: package com { public class myClass { public function myClass ( ) : void { } public static function myFunction ( ) : void { trace ( "tjohoo" ) ; } ; } ; } ; import com.myClass. myClass.myFunction(); ActionScript Code:

ActionScript Code: import s. utils . doSomething ; trace ( doSomething ( ) ) ; http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcode.../msg48837.h tml

The link you've reported brings that there can be only one public function per AS file. So, taking the example of flash.utils.* methods, to do something like that (with may methods directly inside a package), should I have to create multiple AS with the same package name? One for each method?

Give the .as file the same name as the function. doSomething.as, etc.

What? You can have as many public functions as you please, can't you? I know I certainly have custom packages with a bunch of public functions in a single file. You can only have a single constructor, but that's different.

Ah, no, you're right. I thought he meant a class within a package. What is the benefit of just putting it directly into the package?
