The Data class could use a clear function

(Mike Evmm) #1

I’ve been using the Data class lately and have found the need to create my own method to clear a savefile (when I wrongly saved a variable). It’d be as easy as

public static function clear(filename:String):void {
	Data.load(filename);
	_shared.clear();
}

Maybe this can be included in future versions of FP?

Why don’t you use the GitHub? Just create that function and make a pull request.

PD: If for some reason you can’t/won’t make it, i can do it for you

Sorry, I’m quite unfamiliar with github. I’ll try and do that now.
I really suck at Github. I’d be very appreciated if you could do that for me!

You could learn to not suck, unless you like sucking at things.

I can’t even begin to express how wrong that sounds. :laughing:

He actually did the Pull Request if i saw it right. He’s officially not 100% sucking at it.

Hi guys

useflashpunk.net seems to be down all of today, I am using what I believe is the latest .swc file but it seems this handy function isn’t included? I can’t seem to overwrite the contents of the .swc utils.data class (assuming it is the way a .swc works).

Is there any easy way to incorporate this or clear data in someway, or should I download flashpunk as individual source files and overwrite the data class with this one?

@lozzajp Thanks for the heads up! I’ve migrated the old DNS for useflashpunk.net to work with the updated GitHub servers.

Thanks Zach, can access the site fine now.

So I indeed have the latest 1.7.2, what is the best way for making use of this topic and adding an easy function to clear save game data?

Looks like there’s still an open pull request.

(Zachary Lewis) #12

Can I get some more eyes on this and comments in the pull request before I bring it in?

LOL. Didn’t see that comming.

BTW, I had a pull request for the Text for a long time, noone have a look at them or what? (not even a comment so i’m not sure if some1 even looked at it)
