Classes?

[kiosk99]

How can i define a class like the Array class where you can assign values to a variatble directly and yet have it have functions attached to it.

I want to be able to do this.

myVar = 5;
myVar.testOutput();

//-----I want output to be
5

is this possible?
thanks

not 100% sure on what you seek
is it this -

code:

---

function testOutput(theVar){

trace(theVar);

myOutput.text = theVar;

};



myVar = 5;

testOutput(myVar);

no.. i want to create a class similar to that of the array class where you can assign values directly to the variable

myVar = new Array();
myVar = [1,2,3,4];
myVar.push(5);

I want to be able to do the same

define a class with functions - maybe i'm using the wrong terms... maybe its not a class that i want to build - but i think that's what a collection of function is right?

myVar = new myClass();
myVar = 5;
myVar.add(6);
trace(myVar);

//----output
11


did i make myself clearer now?

myClass = new Object();
myClass.myVar = 5;
myClass.myVar += 6;

trace(myClass.myVar);

you reached the limits of my approach to flash, so this might help

Inheritance is probably the hardest concept to understand in OOP for Flash.

the add() function i added to the class was just to illustrate that i want to be able to add functions to a variable while still addressing it as a variable.

Flash Arrays() have direct access
myVar[5] = 6;
Flash Arrays() have methods
myVar.push(6);

this is what i want to be able to do, so that

myClass has direct access
myVar = 5;
myClass has methods
myVar.someFunction(6);

is that clearer?
