Hi,
I need advice on development process that involves using intrinsic classes.
The intrinsic classes allow them to see the properties and methods offered by the class but not the inner workings and also prevent editing. Using FlashDevelop, I am able to create the intrinsic-like classes.
Now the question is, when the programmer tries to compile for testing, won’t the application not work as it should, since the intrinsic classes does not have any function body?
I recall a while back using Zinc and its intrinsic class to use some of its methods. But to get it working, I need to compile it with the tool itself. How do I achieve this with the Flash IDE itself?
To make myself more clear: I have a few classes that allows you to draw/modify a monster avatar. Another programmer is supposed to create the monster’s AI. He does not need to know how the monster is drawn but he needs to access some properties of the monster (name, height etc). Using intrinsic classes, he can check the properties and methods offered by the avatar class but during compile, how can he test without the real function body?
Thanks in advance!
