CO Binding Util

Like Chemical CoValent Bonding, Bind two Objects of Flex through this
AS3 Utility… ;)  

package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.binding.utils.ChangeWatcher;
public class CovalentBindig
{
public static function Bond(obj1:Object, prop1:String, obj2:Object, prop2:String):void
{
var flag:Boolean = false;
ChangeWatcher.watch(obj1, prop1, function(event:Event):void
{
if(!flag)
{
flag = true;
obj2[prop2] = obj1[prop1];
flag = false;
}
});

ChangeWatcher.watch(obj2, prop2, function(event:Event):void
{
if(!flag)
{
flag = true;
obj1[prop1] = obj2[prop2];
flag = false;
}
});
}
}

Collision Detection AS3 Util

Collision Detection Utility class for AS3,

Usage: var collide:Rectangle = checkForCollision(obj1, obj2);

package {
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.BlendMode;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

public class CollisionDetection{

public static function checkForCollision(firstObj: DisplayObject,secondObj: DisplayObject):Rectangle
{
var bounds1:Object = firstObj.getBounds(firstObj.root);
var bounds2:Object = secondObj.getBounds(secondObj.root);

if (((bounds1.right < bounds2.left) || (bounds2.right < bounds1.left)) || ((bounds1.bottom < bounds2.top) || (bounds2.bottom < bounds1.top)) ) {
return null;
}

var bounds:Object = {};
bounds.left = Math.max(bounds1.left,bounds2.left);
bounds.right= Math.min(bounds1.right,bounds2.right);
bounds.top = Math.max(bounds1.top,bounds2.top);
bounds.bottom = Math.min(bounds1.bottom,bounds2.bottom);

var w:Number = bounds.right-bounds.left;
var h:Number = bounds.bottom-bounds.top;

if(w < 1 || h < 1)
{
return null;
}

var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(w,h,false);

var matrix:Matrix = firstObj.transform.concatenatedMatrix;
matrix.tx -= bounds.left;
matrix.ty -= bounds.top;
bitmapData.draw(firstObj,matrix,new ColorTransform(1,1,1,1,255,-255,-255,255));

matrix = secondObj.transform.concatenatedMatrix;
matrix.tx -= bounds.left;
matrix.ty -= bounds.top;
bitmapData.draw(secondObj,matrix,new ColorTransform(1,1,1,1,255,255,255,255),BlendMode.DIFFERENCE);

var intersection:Rectangle = bitmapData.getColorBoundsRect(0xFFFFFFFF,0xFF00FFFF);

/*try{
bitmapData.dispose();
}catch(e:Error){}*/

if (intersection.width == 0) { return null; }

intersection.x += bounds.left;
intersection.y += bounds.top;

return intersection;
}
}

Execute Commands on queue

The AS3 Utility Class to add commands in a queue, the usage and class is below:

/** 
* var commands : CommandsQueue = new CommandsQueue();
* commands.addCommand( this, myFunc );
* commands.addCommand( this, myFunc2, [0,2], this, Event.COMPLETE );
* commands.execute();
*/
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;

public class CommandsQueue extends EventDispatcher
{
protected var commands : Array;
protected var _index : Number = 0;
public var onComplete : Function;

public function CommandsQueue():void
{
commands = [];
}
public function addCommand( thisObj : Object, func : Function, params: Array = null , completeEventDispatcher : Object = null, completeEventName : String= null ) : void
{
commands.push({
thisObj : thisObj,
func : func,
completeEventDispatcher : completeEventDispatcher || thisObj,
completeEventName : completeEventName,
params : params
})
}
public function get progress():Number
{
return (commands.length>0)? _index / commands.length * 100 : 0;
}
public function cancel() : void
{
throw new Error(“commandQueue.cancel is not implemented yet”);
}
public function execute() : void
{
doNext();
}
public function get index():int
{
return _index;
}
public function get length():int
{
return commands.length;
}
protected function doNext() : void
{
var act : Object = commands[ _index ];

if( act.completeEventName ){
act.completeEventDispatcher.addEventListener(act.completeEventName, _commandComplete, false, 0, true);
act.func.apply( act.thisObj, act.params );
} else {
act.func.apply( act.thisObj, act.params );
doNextCommand();
}
}
protected function doNextCommand() : void
{
var act : Object = commands[ _index ];

if( act.completeEventName )
act.completeEventDispatcher.removeEventListener(act.completeEventName, _commandComplete);

_index ++;

if( _index == commands.length )
{
commands = []; //remove all registerd command for GC
if( onComplete != null )
onComplete();
dispatchEvent( new Event(Event.COMPLETE) );
}else{
doNext();
}
}
protected function _commandComplete( e : Event ) : void
{
