mimshwright / autoSingletonMaker.as
Created January 30, 2010 22:52

*/

protected function initializeStates():void {
allStates = new Dictionary( false );
//This vector contains several state classes i want to instantiate.
var stateClasses:Vector.<Class> = new Vector.<Class> ([MainMenuState, CreditsState, GameplayState]);
for each ( var stateClass:Class in stateClasses) {

* @param value The number to limit
* @param lowLimit The lowest value that will be returned.
* @param highLimit The highest value that will be returned.
* @return value if lowLimit < value < highLimit, otherwise returns the lowLimit or highLimit.
