[RESOLVED] Class Default Parameter as a function?

[novasatori]

I've been looking through some of the livedoc pages and blogs online, but I can't seem to get an answer to this question (or I'm missing it).

Is it possible to set up a Class to have a Default Parameter as a new function? hopefully that makes sense.

An example of Default Parameters:

function sayHello(somebody:String = “world”):void {
     trace(”hello, “+somebody);
}

If so, what is the syntax for it?

I just tried all the ways I could think of to do this, and came up with nothing.

You could have a default value of null and check for it then use the one you wanted to pass.

package 
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.Event;
	
	/**
	 * ...
	 * @author ...
	 */
	public class Main extends Sprite 
	{
		
		public function Main():void 
		{
			if (stage) init();
			else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
		}
		
		private function init(e:Event = null):void 
		{
			removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
			// entry point
			exec();
			exec(function():void{ trace("passed in") } );
		}
		
		private function defaultf():void {
			trace("defaultf");
		}
		
		private function exec(f:Function = null ):void {
			if (f != null){
				f();
			}else {
				defaultf();
			}
		}
		
	}
	
}

output:

defaultf
passed in

Thanks.
You seem to always give good suggestions for my non-standard questions. at least I think they are non-standard...
