Extending the proxy class to do this...

Question

I spend too much time in PHP as my last post states. associative arrays seem really powerful. but one feature of PHP NOT in AS is Magic methods. I have been doing some reading on line and while this doesnt seem like something youd want to do, to do something like this:
__get($value){
   someGetMethod($value)
which is from PHP, in AS3 it would be something like:
dynamic class Example extends Proxy
   flash_proxy overide function get(value:String):String
       try{ someGetMethod(value:String);}
      catch(e:Error){//bla}
is this remotly correct? or am I missing the whole concept? I was reading the proxy refrence from the API for Actionscript 3.
here I am trying to redefine the way the get function works like you can in PHP. But I might be misunderstanding something here or in PHP or even in both...

Answer 1

Yes, for the nose-gear the tires are in deep shadow and are also deflected by the weight of the aircraft. There is some deflection in the in the fuselage gear's tires, but not so prominent. With an Adjustment Layer, just to try and get into those shadows, one could make a good Selection via Paths. Since I was on the laptop, and watching the AT&T/Pebble Beach, I was too lazy to hook up the tablet, or move up to the edit suite for more careful work. At least with a Layer Mask, one can non-destructively enhance things pretty well. A high-rez PSD would have been great too.
One of the real problems, and maybe something that one would want to fudge on, is the tires' deflection. If one does a knockout, then visually there is no reason for the tires to deflect - maybe trim that off, as though the ship was in the air, but with the gears still down.
I also did not go into some of the hydraulic lines - Pebble had my attention...
Now, did you see the airman crouching to the right of the fuselage gear? During the exposure he moved a bit, and was also in the shadows. I assume that the OP would want him gone too, but if not, he could be "painted back in," with alterations to the Layer Mask.
Considering the ragged edges now, the hydraulic lines, the choice on the tires, etc., I'd guess that it'd take an hour, or two, to clean things up. This was just a start. If someone is learning PS, I think that the extra hours for the cleanup would be a nice drill. They'd get to use Layer Masks, the Pen Tool and Paths to a Selection, QuickMask Mode and painting-in/painting-out on it, Adjustment Layers to peer into the shadows and then judicious use of the Blur Tool on the edges of the Layer Mask. Classroom in a Book, in one image... Well, not quite, but a lot of stuff to play with, none the less.
