Ok, so what I’m trying to do is create a function that looks for an Object in an Array with the same Class type as the parameter. This is the function I’m using.
/**
* Searches for the first Controller in the Entity with the same Class type as the parameter,
* and if exists, returns an instance of that Controller.
*
* This should only be used if only one of a type of Controller is expected to exist.
* For gathering multiple Controllers, use getAllControllersOfType(cls:Class)
*
* @param cls The Class type of the wanted constructor
* @return The wanted Controller, otherwise null
*/
public function getControllerOfType(cls:Class):Controller
{
for each(var c : Controller in controllers)
{
if(c is cls) {
trace("c is cls? "+c is cls);
return c;
}
}
return null;
}
In my example, I’m putting in a Controller (for this example, I’m using a PhysicsController) and testing it against a class that has a PhysicsController in it. The trace statement returns “c is cls? true”, and the function is not returning null. Now, in my DocumentClass I’m calling this function again and I’m running a trace statement of
var c:Controller = player.getControllerOfType(PhysicsController);
trace("c is a PhysicsController? "+ c is PhysicsController+ ". c is null? "+c == null)
// returns "c is a PhysicsController? false. c is null? false"
This is also returning the same if I test c as a Controller, but if I test it as an Object, it says it IS an Object. I don’t understand why this is happening.
