ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Property Names From XML Object?
Apr 22, 2011
Given an XML object: <column label="Name" datafield="userName" width="70" />, how do I extract the NAME of the properties rather than the values, e.g. ["label", "datafield", "width"]?
ActionScript Code:
for (var pname:* in column.@*)
{
trace(pname);
}
Returns "0", "1", "2", and "for each" returns "Name", "userName", "70".
What I really want is "label", "datafield", and "width", hopefully without the overhead of actually parsing the xmlString.

I have a dynamic class that I have created
public dynamic class SiteZoneFileUploadVO
{
public var destination:String = "sitezone";[code]...........
when I try to iterate over this object's property names it only iterates the dynamically added properties.
parameters.dynVar= "value";
for(var name:String in parameters)
{
Even though the object has all the properties equal to a value (ive checked this in the debugger) the only property name that will be traced is dynVar.How can I iterate over all the property names and not just the dynamically added ones?

I need to create variable object property names for use with the data grid component.
This works: data = new Object(); data.some_name = "the data";
But this does not: data = new Object(); colName = "some_name"; data[colName] = "the data";

i was searching for the solution all over the internet but could not find the way to solve this problem . I have a loop in which i want to assign one property value ( in this case value of several numeric stepper components) to one array spot. Unfortunetaly i cant figure out how to change the property name acording to number of the loop. Here is an example.
Code:

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?

Let's say I have a class which looks like this :
public class MyClass
{
public var attribute1;
public var attribute2;
}
and I'd like to get attribute1 and attribute2 as strings. I tried this :
var test:MyClass = new MyClass();
for (var key:String in test)
{
trace(test[key]);
}
but it does not work, it never goes in the loop. How can I do what I want to do ?

I found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..

I mean the value returned by:
trace(e.target.name); (tried on a MouseEvent object)
or
trace(myTextField.name); (on a textField object).
In my Flash application, I notice that tracing the name of an event object returns "instance26", indicating that this is the 26th (or 27th depending on the base of indexing) object created since the app initialized. Basically what I'm curious about is, firstly, is this instance value subject to change when the app is ported to other platforms (if different versions of the Flash player process instructions in a different order or fashion) and secondly, how can I find what object contains "instance0" or (if the instance indexing begins at base 1), "instance1"?

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

My Document Class is an object called Allegheny, which extends MovieClip.
Within Allegheny, I set values for static string variables _d and _g.
From Allegheny, I call multiple times another object called MuniAllegheny.
In MuniAllegheny, I need to call to use the value for _d and the value for _g.
I can do this if I write:
muniallegheny_g = Allegheny._g;
But if I pass Allegheny as a parameter to MuniAllegheny, and I try writing:
muniallegheny_g = thisMuni._g;

I've searched this page, and I'm positive I'm just overlooking something obvious.
