Confusing Scala Dynamic code snippet -

-

i came across following code snippet on scala mailing list:

scala> class dynamicimpl(x: anyref) extends dynamic {      |   def _select_(name: string): dynamicimpl = {      |     new dynamicimpl(x.getclass.getmethod(name).invoke(x))      |   }      |   def _invoke_(name: string)(args: any*) = {      |     new dynamicimpl(x.getclass.getmethod(name, args.map(_.asinstanceof[anyref].getclass) : _*).invoke(x, args.map(_.asinstanceof[anyref]) : _*))      |   }      |   override def typed[t] = x.asinstanceof[t]      |   override def tostring = "dynamic(" + x.tostring + ")"      | } defined class dynamicimpl  scala>   scala> implicit def todynamic(x: any): dynamic = new dynamicimpl(x.asinstanceof[anyref]) todynamic: (x: any)dynamic  scala> class duck {      |   def quack = "quack!"      | } defined class duck  scala> class quackingswan {      |   def quack = "swack!"      | } defined class quackingswan  scala> def makequack(d: dynamic) {      |   println(d.quack.typed[string])      | } dynatype: d._select_("quack") makequack: (d: dynamic)unit  scala> makequack(new duck) quack!  scala> makequack(new quackingswan) swack!  scala> val s: dynamic = "hello, world!" s: dynamic = dynamic(hello, world!)  scala> s.tolowercase dynatype: line8$object.$iw.$iw.s._select_("tolowercase") res2: dynamic = dynamic(hello, world!)  scala> s.length dynatype: line8$object.$iw.$iw.s._select_("length") res3: dynamic = dynamic(13)  scala> s.isempty.typed[boolean] dynatype: line8$object.$iw.$iw.s._select_("isempty") res4: boolean = false

what's _select_ , _invoke_ here?

_select_ , _invoke_ behave ruby missing_method. when method called on dynamic instance not implement method, _select_ or _invoke_ called instead. 2 methods can implemented wish.

in example, use reflection call actual implementation of x member. instance:

scala> val s: dynamic = "hello, world!" s: dynamic = dynamic(hello, world!)  scala> s.tolowercase dynatype: line8$object.$iw.$iw.s._select_("tolowercase") res2: dynamic = dynamic(hello, world!)

the method tolowercase not defined in s. method _select_ called instead argument "tolowercase". dynamic mechanism call x.tolowercase using reflection , wrap result in new dynamic instance.

_select_ called method without arguments, while _invoke_ called method arguments.

actionscript 3 - TweenLite does not work with object -

i got following problem: i have object called tempscore game. this object blitted canvas renderer via copypixels method. object not display object. it's score-object (self made). score-object extends object called basicblitarrayobject. basicblitarrayobject extends eventdispatcher (therefore no display object). i tried apply several different tweenlite-plugins tempscore-object (i.e. transformaroundcenter, colormatrixfilter, etc.). nothing happens. absolutely nothing. sometimes error messages (when plugin requires display object , object not display object). far good. according greensock (maker of tweenlite) engine can tween numeric property of object. when plugin transformaroundcenter requires display object tweening have modify plugin working non-display object (tempscore). can't because it's way hard me. my game rests upon code: http://www.8bitrocket.com/book/ch11_blastermines.zip try apply tweenlite object called tempmine inside game class blastermines. ...
