Working with ActionScript Class objects

In your native functions, an input parameter can correspond to an ActionScript class object. Since all native function parameters are of type FREObject, the C APIs provide functions for manipulating class objects using an FREObject variable.

Use the following C API functions to get and set a property of the ActionScript class object:

• FREGetObjectProperty()

  FREResult FREGetObjectProperty(                
              FREObject     object,    
              const uint8_t*                propertyName, 
              FREObject*                       propertyValue,  
                 FREObject*                   thrownException 
  ); 

• FRESetObjectProperty()

  REResult FRESetObjectProperty( 
              FREObject       object, 
              const uint8_t*  propertyName, 
              FREObject       propertyValue, 
              FREObject*      thrownException 
  );

Use the following C API to call a method of an ActionScript class object:

FRECallObjectMethod()

FREResult FRECallObjectMethod( 
            FREObject                object, 
            const uint8_t*                methodName, 
            uint32_t                argc, 
            FREObject                argv[], 
            FREObject*                result, 
            FREObject*                thrownException 
);

If an output parameter or return value corresponds to an ActionScript class object, you create the ActionScript object using a C API. You provide a pointer to an FREObject variable plus FREObject variables to correspond to parameters to the ActionScript class constructor. The runtime creates the ActionScript class object and sets the FREObject variable to correspond to it. Use the following C API function:

FRENewObject()

FREResult FRENewObject( 
        const uint8_t* className, 
        uint32_t       argc, 
        FREObject      argv[], 
        FREObject*     object, 
        FREObject*     thrownException 
);
