Question

Is there any way for a Flash component (or an Actionscript class linked to a MovieClip in general) to check or return its own use count? I am interested in answers for both AS2 and AS3.

Answer 1

I don’t think there’s anything already built in but you can easily achieve this with a static var like:

public class MyClass
{
    private static var classCreationCount:int = 0;
    public function MyClass()
    {
        classCreationCount++;
    }
    public static function getClassCreationCount():int
    {
        return classCreationCount;
    }
}
