Interface IImportTarget

All Known Implementing Classes:

ASImportTarget

public interface IImportTarget

Represents the target of an import statement (e.g. import mx.controls.Button or import mx.controls.*) and encapsulates the logic involved in combining a reference (Button or mx.controls.Button) with the import target to get a fully qualified name. You can create import targets from the import target string (with the constructor), from a package name, or from an XML namespace.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
INamespaceDefinition	getNamespace() Gets the INamespaceDefinition for the imported package's public namespace.
String	getQualifiedName(String reference) Interpret the reference based on this import target, and try to build a qualified class name for it.
String	getTargetName() Gets the name of the target in our import.
String	getTargetPackage() Returns the name of the target package we are targeting
boolean	isWildcard() True if this import is a wild card

Method Detail

getQualifiedName

String getQualifiedName(String reference)

Interpret the reference based on this import target, and try to build a qualified class name for it. If no logical path can be constructed from the two (because the reference contains package information that doesn't match the import target, or because the reference class doesn't match the import target class), this method returns null. The one exception to this rule (for convenience) is the import target "*", which will always return the reference itself Examples (import target + reference): mx.controls.* + Button => mx.controls.Button mx.core.* + Button => mx.core.Button mx.controls.Button + Button => mx.controls.Button mx.controls.RadioButton + Button => (null) * + Button => Button mx.controls.* + mx.controls.Button => mx.controls.Button mx.core.* + mx.controls.Button => (null) mx.controls.Button + mx.controls.Button => mx.controls.Button mx.controls.RadioButton + mx.controls.Button => (null) * + mx.controls.Button => mx.controls.Button

Parameters:

reference - the reference as it appears in the document

Returns:

a qualified name for the reference if it makes sense; null if it doesn't

getTargetPackage

String getTargetPackage()

Returns the name of the target package we are targeting

Returns:

the target package

isWildcard

boolean isWildcard()

True if this import is a wild card

Returns:

true if we are a wild card

getTargetName

String getTargetName()

Gets the name of the target in our import. In flash.events.EventDispatcher, it would be EventDispatcher

Returns:

the target name.

getNamespace

INamespaceDefinition getNamespace()

Gets the INamespaceDefinition for the imported package's public namespace.

Returns:

The INamespaceDefinition for the imported package's public namespace.
