callI()method 
public static function callI(functionPtr:int, args:Vector.<int> = null, stack:int = 0, preserveStack:Boolean = false):int

Low level API for calling a C/C++ function from Actionscript, returning a 32-bit value

Parameters

functionPtr:int — The address of the function. You can find the address of a C/C++ function by passing the name of the function to getPublicSym.
 
args:Vector.<int> (default = null) — An optional vector containing 32-bit values to pass on the stack to the function. These could either be primitive integer data, or pointers. To pass more complex data types (including AS3 types) you should use the function annotation syntax explained in the interop tutorial to give the function a more natural AS3 function signature.
 
stack:int (default = 0) — An optional pointer to the base of the stack. A value of 0 means use the current ESP.
 
preserveStack:Boolean (default = false) — Indicates whether the stack pointer should unwind back to the value it was before the function was called.

Returns
int — The integer return value of the function. As above, to return complex (possibly AS3) types you should annotate the function as explained in the interop tutorial to give the function a more natural signature and return type.

Resets the object properties and frees memory.

free()method 
public static function free(ptr:int):void

Returns

serviceUIRequests()method 
public static function serviceUIRequests(event:Object = null):void

This method services any pending uiThunk requests that background threads have queued up. A good place to call this would be in the enterFrame handler. Update: you can attach your dispatchers directly into this handler since the optional event arg.

Parameters

event:Object (default = null)

start()method 
public static function start(console:Object, args:Vector.<String> = null, env:Vector.<String> = null, preserveStack:Boolean = true):int

Calls the libc __start1 function which, in turn, causes main() to execute.

Parameters

console:Object — The current Console object
 
args:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to fill the argv array given to main. The first String is typically used to specify the name of the application.
 
env:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to populate the environment variables accesible by getenv(). There should be an even number of Strings in this Vector as they are treated as name/value pairs.
 
preserveStack:Boolean (default = true) — Indicates whether the C stack should be preserved after the call to __start1. If this is set to false the stack depth will return to the value when start() was called upon return.

Returns
int — The exit code of the C application
startAsync()method 
public static function startAsync(console:Object = null, args:Vector.<String> = null, env:Vector.<String> = null, preserveStack:Boolean = true, isAutoSetRealThreadId:Boolean = true):void

Calls the libc __start1 function which, in turn, causes main() to execute. Unlike start(), this method handles the case where the main C run loop has been broken by a call to "AS3_GoAsync" within the C code. This allows main to return without allowing C/C++ static initializers to run. This should be used when you want to run long running code with a broken run-loop, or run some code as a library.

Parameters

console:Object (default = null) — The current Console object
 
args:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to fill the argv array given to main. The first String is typically used to specify the name of the application.
 
env:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to populate the environment variables accesible by getenv(). There should be an even number of Strings in this Vector as they are treated as name/value pairs.
 
preserveStack:Boolean (default = true) — Inidcates whether the C stack should be preserved after the call to __start1. If this is set to false the stack depth will return to the value when start() was called upon return.
 
isAutoSetRealThreadId:Boolean (default = true) — Inidcates whether the module should auto-set its real thread id. Use false when using multi-threaded SWCs.

startBackground()method 
public static function startBackground(console:Object = null, args:Vector.<String> = null, env:Vector.<String> = null, afterStackSize:int = 65536):void

Creates a background Worker and runs the libc function __start1 within that Worker. This allows you to run main without breaking the run loop, but requires the SWF to be version 18 or higher (Flash Runtime 11.5).

Parameters

console:Object (default = null) — The current Console object
 
args:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to fill the argv array given to main. The first String is typically used to specify the name of the application.
 
env:Vector.<String> (default = null) — A vector of Strings that are used to populate the environment variables accesible by getenv(). There should be an even number of Strings in this Vector as they are treated as name/value pairs.
 
afterStackSize:int (default = 65536) — The amount of stack space to allocate for the ui thread (code that will run the uiThunk callbacks and also any calls to callI coming from the main Worker).

write16()method

writeString()method 
public static function writeString(ptr:int, s:String):int

Parameters

ptr:int — The location in domainMemory where the string will be written. You must ensure that this points to a buffer in the flascc world that has enough space to hold the string data or this method will overwrite other data within your program. Consider using mallocString instead as it will allocate the correct amount of space.
 
s:String

Returns
int — The number of bytes written
