Subject: [metaas-dev] superclass method call
Message-ID: <16D007D8060A120518AE@directbox.com>

the parser cannot parse superclass method call ( e.g.  super.superMethod()  )    please fix it because it makes the parser unusable, thank you

Subject: [metaas-dev] MetaAS: parsing/writing indenting issue and
	super.something issue
Message-ID: <485FD47E.1070406@digital-freestyle.de>

Hi together,

today I stumbled across MetaAS and found it a very useful project for my 
problems. Unfortunately I encountered two problems:

1) I use the ActionScriptParser.parse(src) call to parse an existing
    ActionsScript file. Then I want to use the
    ActionScriptWriter.write(dst) to write the parsed ASCompilationUnit
    to a file again. Why? Pretty simple: I want to use the pretty
    printing capabilities to do auto indenting on the ActionScript file.
    Unfortunately ActionScriptWriter writes the AS code with the same
    indentation as the original file was. Can I somehow force it to
    "forget" the old indentation?

2) The parser fails to parse super.something calls. Regardless of it is
    a method call "super.something();" or a property access
    "super.something = 42;". As I saw in the archives the problem is
    known. Is it already fixed, maybe in SVN Head? Or is there a
    workaround?

Many thanks in advanced for your efforts.

Yours,
Daniel

Subject: [metaas-dev] namespaces, ASType.removeMethod(String)
Message-ID: <5A7D202651A16E4AA67A9A600332713603C251@PHM01.jubilife.local>

Hey Dave,
 
Great work on metaas! I have a couple of questions. 
 
First, have you looked into using the parser from the SDK? It of course
can parse any AS3 file, but it's not clear to me how to use their
CodeGenerator emitter class, or even that it works. I'm wondering if you
have been down this road. 
 
I'm having trouble parsing namespace references with your current ANTLR
grammar, although everything else in metaas seems to work so well I may
just avoid namespaces in my generated code for now. The SDK option seems
too complex for the amount of time I have to spend on codegen frameworks
if this is my only glitch.
 
Another question I have is regarding ASType.removeMethod(String). It
seems to me that the type signature for this method is insufficient.
Consider the following code:
 
public function get foo():String {
  return _foo;
}
public function set foo(afoo:String):void {
  _foo = afoo;
}
 
If I call ASType.removeMethod("foo"), which one gets removed?? I assume
from your JavaDoc comment that modifying the array returned from
ASType.getMethods() will not serve my purpose.
 
Thanks for your contribution.
 
Brian
