Why is it that AS3 does not support private constructors as AS2 does?

Why is it that AS3 does not support private constructors as
AS2 does?
Private constructors are standard in most OOP languages (for
example
C++ and Java) and were supported in Actionscript 2. However,
this is
not the case in AS3 which only allows its constructors to
have the
'public' access modifier.
I have legacy code that I hope to migrate to the AS3
platform. Some
key elements of my code rely on design patterns like the
Singleton
pattern which in turn depend on private constructors. I could
refactor
my code but, ultimately, I would lose the benefits of the
pattern
(ie. one and only one instance of the Singleton class).
I have also used private constructors to simulate enumerated
types
much like the enums you would find in Java 5 and up. But I
can't
use the same implementation in AS3 without private
constructors.
I do not want to resort to mixing legacy code with new AS3
code to
keep functionality intact. Are there any possible
work-arounds for
this issue?
If not, are there any lobbying groups I need to know about so
that
we can get this feature back?

Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

Lightroom does 'split-toning', but I suspect that's not what you're after.
A duo-tone in offset print terms refers to a BW image printed with black and one additional colour. LR however works only in the RGB colour model, so you need to resort to e.g. Photoshop for duo-tone (or CMYK) conversions.

How can I get GV and HDV files imported to Premier Elements 13. I know now that they are not supported. But does it exist ways to get them. I use camera HDR-HS7E?

What is this HDR-HS7E - a miniDV camcorder that lets you do DV and HDV capture firewire?
True, the DV and HDV capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 13 Capture window is gone. But, have you
looked at the workaround suggested by PRE_help in this forum. The workaround is found in the following

Outraged that KHTML is not supported in Dreamweaver cs3

I am outraged that KHTML is not supported in Dreamweaver CS3. If I had know this, I would not have purchased this software. In fact, I recommend that anyone using KHTML in earlier versions of Dreamweaver defintely not upgrade to CS3 until Adobe supports KHTML. To make matters worse, I have still not heard the reason that Adobe has decided to not support KHTML.
It is obvious that Adobe does not have the interest of their customers in mind.

Hi David,
I absolutely disagree with you Gunther about KTML being "crap", and you are wrong about it being sold separately - it came integrated into MX Kollection.
As far I can recall, there were several options which changed in the course of time -- you could purchase a bundle, or you could purchase MX Kollection without any other secondary extension. As I said : "as far I recall"...
The primary advantage of KTML (other than its great wysiwyg capability and the convenience of it being a DW extension) is that it has a built-in file manager and image manager..
yes, that´s what I meant to indicate with my "2 well done features" summary
With a click of a button, you get wysiwyg editor, file manger, and image manager. And all of these work perfectly btw, and the image manager and file manager is better than Tiny's costly managers. For example with KTML the image resizer works better, you can change brightness and contrast and what's even better is that these functions can be done directly from the file manager w/out having to first open the image in the editor.
wanna know why exactly I decided to abandon KTML in favor of e.g. TinyMCE despite of the truly magnificent image and file management ? It´s because KTML simply didn´t provide any internal "hooks" to let me, say, allow user_id 1 to access all image editing functions, but user_id 2 just a subset or just the upload capability, but: No !
KTML´s "management" features would have been really great and really usable in a multi-user environamnt, if it would have provided this very feature -- but this would have meant to completely tie KTML to the rest of MX Kollection´s set of features
(ie handling external session variables, relate to permissions set in the login table), and that´s something what regretfully never happened, because the active development was
(as all you guys know) sort of stopped right at a point where it *could* have become really useful.
Another reason for me to not use the brilliant image management features :: does anyone recall KTML´s earlier versions which generated the image thumbnails "on the fly" ? If yes, you know what I´m talking about :: the latest KTML version *forced* me to accept having it create real thumbnail files in whatever obscure subdirectory, though I would never be really using them, and though KTML could certainly have done without them for generating an image preview
And the final problem with TinyMCE is the price: over $350 for the file manager (server license) and around $250 for image manager (server license). $600 to have it licensed on one server - They don't publish the price for unlimited license (probably very expensive). So just those two features costs almost twice as much as MX Kollection did that included those two features as only a small percentage of the overall package.
wow, that much ? incredible... Did never use these additional "managers", but in all other aspects I have to say that TinyMCE is indeed superior -- it´s all a matter of taste, but the sheer amount of configuration options is something I would have liked to see in KTML
The point is that there really is no true replacement for KTML right now and that is VERY unfortunate. I believe the reason we are discussing this is in the hopes that Adobe will see how much KTML is missed and bring it back or a suitable alternative
you *are* right, there is no good "extension" replacement, but I´m pretty sure that Adobe simply reviewed KMTL´s possible future in regards to the *very* strong and mature open source competition -- how much development resources (and money) would have been required to make KTML an editor which is on par with what´s already out there, and would this investment guarantee a stable market position ? noone really knows, but this would have been a risk, as KTML´s user-base was not *that* huge after all
Cheers,

I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out. I need these programs. How do I proceed?

I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs and has blanked out my 2008 version of MS Office for Mac and Intuit's Quickbooks. How do I proceed to get these programs back?

Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

W7 Ultimate 32 bit English - error upon iso download that ENGLISH is not supported

I have a legitimate Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit English DVD with product key sticker inside.
My computer however has no DVD player, so I figured I would download the ISO and create a bootable USB key for install.
Where can I download Windows 7 ISO? I have a Product Key.

Welcome to Microsoft Software Recovery

When I select to verify my key I get this ridiculous error that ENGLISH is not supported....
Unsupported language error: The language you've selected is not available for the product you are eligible for. Please select a different language.
Is there a different site from which I can download a clean Microsoft copy of the ISO?
Alternatively I guess I could take the DVD and make an ISO from it on a different computer and create the usb bootable drive.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Since there are two DVDs (one 32 and one 64 bit) I tried to download the 64 bit one. Same error upon validation of key. Sigh.

The frist link was from 2012 and no longer applies. The second should work as long as it is not an OEM key. To try and figure this out please follow these instructions

It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

No, you should not lose anything.

No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message that X11 was not supported and directed to a sited to download XQuartz. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?

Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz.

I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4. I have lost my Firefox 3.6. Firefox 4 will not open on my computer. The message say that it is not supported on thie architecture. I have OS 10.4.11 on an eMac? What do I do?

I down loaded 4 and installed it to replace 3.6. I then tried to launch it and got the message that it is not supported on this architecture.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

under windows 7 - 8.1right click on your desktop and choose screen resolution set a very basic resolution like 1280x1024 @ 60Hz (frequency can be set under advanced options); you need to have a working monitor to set this and then reboot connecting your al1916w. if it still gives you that message, can be a bad cable or some hardware monitor issue.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

Why is it that AS3 does not support private constructors as AS2 does?
