Getting Started with ActionScript 2.0 and AsUnit

Posted by Luke Bayes Mon, 12 May 2008 06:38:00 GMT

It seems a “London/Cambridge-based Actionscript developer” posted an excellent tutorial for ActionScript 2.0 and AsUnit.

Just wanted to make sure folks could find it!

I've had problems in the past writing unit tests to cover the functionality of bespoke components that contain other bespoke components - I've taken it to be a problem of the children not instantiating fast enough through setUp/tearDown to be testable. Having recently found the run/runNow trick used to handle XML, I'm going to give that a go for the components too. Thanks, btw, for asunit: it's a fantastic tool.

    Thanks for the response.

    You are probably correct about the instantiation delay for AS 2.0 and the run/runNow trick (er, hack) should help.
    ;-)
    Ideally, we would back-port the AsUnit 3.x addAsync method to the AS 2.0 builds, so if you're interested in contributing, that would be the cleanest solution.

    Thanks again for the write-up!
