OptionType

OptionType representing matching behaviour for Listeners.

An object's set of CbType's 'matches' against an OptionType iff. the OptionType's includes list intersects the object's set of CbTypes and the OptionType's excludes list 'does not' intersect the object's set of CbTypes.

option = new OptionType([A, B], [C, D]);
obj.cbTypes = [] // => does not match option.
obj.cbTypes = [A] // => matches the option
obj.cbTypes = [A, C] // => does not match option.

The optionType's includes and excludes list are managed to be always disjoint: The action of including an already excluded type serves to remove it from the excludes list, equalliy excluding an already included type serves to remove it from the includes list.

var option = new OptionType();
option.including(A); // option = {[A]:[]}
option.excluding(A); // option = {[]:[]}
option.excluding(A); // option = {[]:[A]}
option.including(A); // option = {[A]:[]}

Instance Members #

@private

List of included CbTypes.

This list is both readonly, and immutable. To remove an element from this list you can use: option.excluding(cbType)

@default []

List of excluded CbTypes.

This list is both readonly, and immutable. To remove an element from this list you can use: option.including(cbType)

@default []

Append set of types to includes list.

This method was originally named the more appropriate 'include' but this conflicted with the AS3 keyword include and had to be change.

The argument is typed Dynamic, and is permitted to be one of: CbType, CbTypeList, Array<CbType> flash.Vector<CbType>

Append set of types to excludes list.

This method was originally named the more appropriate 'exclude' but to match the necessary change for the include function, this was renamed as excluding.

The argument is typed Dynamic, and is permitted to be one of: CbType, CbTypeList, Array<CbType> flash.Vector<CbType>

@private

Construct a new OptionType.

The type of the arguments is Dynamic, and is permitted to be one of: CbType, CbTypeList, Array<CbType> flash.Vector<CbType>
