In an earlier post I proposed a way to implement enumerated types as singleton classes in ActionScript, based on a single class written by Darron Schall, and showed a perl script to generate them. Well, I’ve realized it was unnecesarily complicated. All the values the class methods are returning are just integers, so why . . . → Read More: From C++ to ActionScript, Chapter 2: Doh!
