Use as3 objects created outside lua script in lua script

[retrogamer4ever]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find an
answer... I can see you can create as3 objects in lua scripts and even
access static properties of as3 objects. But lets say I create an
instance of a particular as3 object in an as3 script first, then load
up a lua script... Is there any way for me to access that existing as3
object in the newly loaded lua script?

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for your interest to the LuaAlchemy!

Just expose it to Lua state as a global variable via setGlobal().

HTH,

Hi,
I'm creating simple class in AS3, like
public class MyModel {
public var _value1:int;
public var _value2:int;
}

then I create instance and expose it to Lua, like
lua = new LuaAlchemy("builtin://");
lua.setGlobal("model", mymodel);

the problem is that when I do type(model._value1) in lua I get
'table'.
Is this a correct behaviour? I expeced a 'number' here.
Thanks.

Yes, it is correct. It still a boxed AS3 value. To convert it to Lua
value, use as3.tolua(), or enable sugar autoconversion feature:
