The flash.utils package contains utility classes, such as data structures like ByteArray.
Functions
| Function | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| clearInterval | Cancels a specified setInterval() call. | |
| clearTimeout | Cancels a specified setTimeout() call. | |
| describeType | Produces an XML object that describes the ActionScript object named as the parameter of the method. | |
| escapeMultiByte | Returns an escaped copy of the input string encoded as either UTF-8 or system code page, depending on the value of System.useCodePage. | |
| getDefinitionByName | Returns a reference to the class object of the class specified by the name parameter. | |
| getQualifiedClassName | Returns the fully qualified class name of an object. | |
| getQualifiedSuperclassName | Returns the fully qualified class name of the base class of the object specified by the value parameter. | |
| getTimer | Used to compute relative time. | |
| setInterval | Runs a function at a specified interval (in milliseconds). | |
| setTimeout | Runs a specified function after a specified delay (in milliseconds). | |
| unescapeMultiByte | Returns an unescaped copy of the input string, which is decoded from either system code page page or UTF-8 depending on the value of System.useCodePage. |
Interfaces
| Interface | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| IDataInput | The IDataInput interface provides a set of methods for reading binary data. | |
| IDataOutput | The IDataOutput interface provides a set of methods for writing binary data. | |
| IExternalizable | The IExternalizable interface provides control over serialization of a class as it is encoded into a data stream. |
Classes
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ByteArray | The ByteArray class provides methods and properties to optimize reading, writing, and working with binary data. | |
CompressionAlgorithm  | The CompressionAlgorithm class defines string constants for the names of compress and uncompress options. | |
| Dictionary | The Dictionary class lets you create a dynamic collection of properties, which uses strict equality (===) for key comparison. | |
| Endian | The Endian class contains values that denote the byte order used to represent multibyte numbers. | |
| Proxy | The Proxy class lets you override the default behavior of ActionScript operations (such as retrieving and modifying properties) on an object. | |
| Timer | The Timer class is the interface to timers, which let you run code on a specified time sequence. |
