humboldtjslibrary's Issues

Second eventlistener not being called.

Example

theWindow.addEventListener("keypress", eventFunction(this, onWindowKeyPress1), false); 
theWindow.addEventListener("keypress", eventFunction(this, onWindowKeyPress2), false); 

Expected Result
All eventhandlers to be called.

Actual Result
onWindowKeyPress2 is never being called.

Animator class doesnt do the vendor prefixing on properties

If we animatePropertyTo "-opacity" we get the following error. Easily workarounded, but it would be nice if it worked the same way as the easystyler expands vendor prefixes.

Untermintated line ending issue

Example
The following example is quircky, but valid in Actionscript.

var the
Logger.log("Hello world")

Actual result

var the;
var the com.humboldtjs.system.Logger.prototype.log("Hello world"); = null;

Expected result
The unterminated line ending properly terminated.

var the;
var the com.humboldtjs.system.Logger.prototype.log("Hello world");

Uint values could contain fractions.

Example
When assigning a float value into a uint value, in Actionscript the value is always casted as a uint, hereby loosing any fractions. In Humboldt no such casting is enforced.

var theTest:uint = 2 / 3;

Actual result
theTest has a value of 0,6666666666666667.

Expected result
theTest has a value of 0.

Unable to initialize a Vector with data

Example

var theTest:Vector.<uint>= new Vector.<uint>[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 ];

Result
The generated javascript denotes:

var theTest:Array = new Array()[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 ];

Expected Result

var theTest:Array = new Array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 );

Or:

var theTest:Array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 ];

Animator class reference to Sine is broken in .swc

If we link to the .swc file for the library the "compiler" complains with the following error:

 [java] Cannot find file: com/humboldtjs/utility/Sine.as
 [java] Dependency:  com.humboldtjs.utility.Sine*
 [java] Java Result: 1

This is probably because of the Sine reference, which makes it look in the same namespace, but actually it's namespaced in .easing. However when linking to the sources this doesn't happen (check out the project -> add the source instead of the library as an compiler argument).

This is a major inconvenience while developing, but easily workarounded.

HTMLElement setPercentWidth/Height does not accept fractions.

Example

HTMLElement.setPercentWidth(12.65);

Expected result
The DOM element to have a width of 12.65%.

Actual result
The DOM element has a width of 13%.

Constructor usage is mandatory

In ActionScript (and other languages) it is not required to call the constructor, when you only need the default constructor. In Humboldt this is mandatory.

Forgetting/ignoring to create a constructor AND/OR without calling the "super()" will:
Not call member initialization.

Examples

FAIL
BECAUSE _myInitializedMember is never initialized, because no constructor is declared.

package A
{
    public class B
    {
        private var _myInitializedMember:String = "Hello world";
    }
}

FAIL
Because _myInitializedMember is never initialized because the super() is not being called.

package A
{
    public class C
    {
        private var _myInitializedMember:String = "Hello world";

        public function C()
        {
        }
    }
}

OK

package A
{
    public class C
    {
        private var _myInitializedMember:String = "Hello world";

        public function C()
        {
            super();
        }
    }
}

Implicit derived object does prevent calling the super()

Example
When a object has not been derived from anything, in Actionscript the object is implicitly being derived from Object, hereby making a super() call is completly valid.

class A
{
        public function A()
        {
            // Calling the super now will trigger a Huboldt fault...
             super();
        }
}

class A extends B
{
        public function A()
        {
            // OK
             super();
        }
}

Actual result
Class A will trigger an runtime error.

Expected result
Actionscript behaviour, so calling Class A should not trigger a runtime error.

Animator framerate changes when switching browser tab

At startup of an application that is using the Animators, everything is working nice.

But if you then switch browser tabs to another site and then go back to the application, the animations are not the same (faster?)

I think this has to do with a change in the Stage class.

Can be reproduced in Chrome/Firefox/Safari.
