Inheritance > Commander

Commander is a script interpreter that allows you to execute actionscript commands at runtime. It's responsible for nearly all other functionality in controling objects from the interface as well as allowing the user to execute commands from the command panel.

Method Summary
static Object	exec(str:String) exec receives a string of ";" separated commands, splits them up and passes them on to the script method to be parsed and executed
private static Object	getArguments(str:String) getArguments locates the arguments of method calls or values of property assignments.
private static String	replace(str:String, search:String, use:String) replaces items in strings
private static String	restoreValue(str) restores the value back with the original "."'s
private static String	retainValue(str:String) replaces any "."'s with "(dot)" before exec does it's split at "."'s. It has too look for parens and equality operators to figure out where the retainable values are.
private static Object	script(cmds:Array) recieves an array of commands that it has to send off to getArguments to resolve the true method/value or propertychange/value. Once it has a returned object, it executes the command or propertychange
