Is there an easy way that I can get the property of object from a string of the name of that property? For example say I have the object char, and a string "x" how can I get the value of char.x?
View 2 RepliesThere is a function that receiving value of String = 'propertyName', wich is property name.and i have an Object item with property of name equals to 'propertyName'.How do i get item's value of that property?ObjectUtil.getClassInfo(item).propertiesreturns an Array of item's properties, but is it an easier way to get it instead of searching trough Array?
View 3 RepliesI want to eliminate usage of magic strings in these:
BindingUtils.bindProperty(obj1, "propertyName", obj2, ["childObj", "anotherProperty"]);
or
var ddl:DropDownList = new DropDownList();

I need to get the value of the item clicked and the name of the columns.
for each(item in colunas) {

Alert.show(''+datagridlist.selectedItem.itemok); // show value of column

I create a new object. My new object will always have a labelField because it has to be added to a dataProvider in a ComboBox. The problem is my next property. Each object in the dataProvider has a dataField property that has a string value [eg: 'code' or 'isoCode'].[code]

I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.
In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.
For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com
If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.
Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

View 2 RepliesI 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?
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..

Here is my code:
<mx:ComboBox prompt="" editable="true" dataProvider="{tableSelector.list}"/>
When this code executes, flex just sets the selectedIndex to 0 and displays the first item in the dataProvider instead of leaving the text and prompt as the empty string "". How do I get around this? I need the text property to be "" unless the user selects another item in the combobox.
I am looking at "length" property in the Adobe AS3.0 language ref as I do not understand it. It says: An integer specifying the number of characters in the specified String object. (I understand this). Because all string indexes are zero-based, the index of the last character for any string x is x. length - 1. (I do not understand the "- 1". I understand that all string indexes are zero-based but I cant put this together with the last character for any string being -1 or whatever it is saying.
