ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Strict Data Type Custom Object Properties?
Feb 8, 2010
I need to create a custom Object that basically stores some custom parameters (properties?), which I have successfully done, and the code below works fine.
PHP Code:
myObject = new Object();
myObject.nameLabel = "New Releases";
myObject.artOrientation = "portrait";
myObject.artAmount = 5;
I find the new compiler and debugger capabilities very useful, since I'm not the most detail-oriented, so I (usually) like that Flash forces me to strict-type my variables and such. Anyway, I was wondering if it's a "best practice" to strict data type a custom objects' properties, and if so, how to do it in the logic above? I kept getting syntax errors when I just tried it initially.
I know if I created a custom Class .AS file, I would be forced to data type the properties... but I'd rather just do it "in-line" in my main .FLA file. Also, I know I can just pass typed VARIABLES to the properties... but I'd rather have the properties strict-typed themselves... so if I try to pass a variable as the wrong type, then I would still get an error.

i tried searching for an answer but no luck..i know i can enforce type checking by writing:

var iCount:Number = 10;
but for existing objects, while adding properties to them, i cannot specify datatypes:

Is it possible to dynamically name properties on a custom object ?
something like:
Code:
o:Object = new Object();
s:String = 'abcd'; // the name I want for my objects property
o.[s] = '1234'; // 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftbracket.
trace(o.abcd) // 1234
EDIT I want to do this as an associative array, so if there is a better alternative then I'd be happy with that as well.

I have a Flex tree control that holds a tree full of various types of objects. I'd like to change the label of the item based on this type (and other properties). I'd prefer to do this in a custom TreeItemRenderer rather than via label or labelfunction.It seems that whatever I do, I cannot typecheck nor cast the objects and thus I get [Object object] in the nodes of my tree. Here is my renderer:
public class MyCustomTreeItemRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer {
// Overriding to set the text for each tree node.

When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.

I am not sure my title is correct.Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++), can do this: I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:
class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;

Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++) around, can do this:I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:
class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;
var public address;
var public telnumber;
}
And use a kind of data structure class(say, List) to store a few Company-type objects. And then, I define my own comparing and searching function on that List class(namely, override the default one); within my functions I could specify on which attribute(name, or address, or telephone number) to perform searching, and how it would be performed.

I am trying to save a Sprite object as a file on the device I'm working on and it seems to work. the problem I'm having is reading the saved file back and placing it back on stage as a sprite. Below is the code I have so far, could someone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong? I have a suspicion that the saved isn't what I expect it to be since the file sizes have been under a kilobyte.

When you click on the button something happens. However it seems redundant to me that in the declaration of myListenerFunction, the event object e of class MouseEvent, actually has to have its data type MouseEvent mentioned.

i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

I'm trying to create a website in flashcs5 for a class project.Inside the project i have a movie clip which contains my menu buttons and I've placed that movie clip on the main timeline in scene1.I've used action script to link the buttons from the mc to the main timeline. All the buttons are working except the button "recommended". I keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at dreamcatcher_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Here is the code in the actionscript:
Object(root).menu_mc.dreamcatchers_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, fl_dreamcatchers);
function fl_dreamcatchers(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay("dreamcatchers");}
Object(root).menu_mc.legend_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_legend);[code]....
I've double and triple checked all the instance names and there are no problems. The code for recommended is exactly the same as for all the other buttons so I don't understand what's going on.

Is there any "automatic way" to casts an "Object" to a personalized Model Data Type in ActionScript 3?
[Code]..
Manish's answer was enough for me and according to rcdmk's comment, the p:String isn't about the Type of data that the loop will go through, it is actually the name of the property, which makes sense because every name is a String.

Through searching the various forums I have found that Loaders are not dynamic and hence you can not apply custom properties to each instance of them. I miss the old way (as2 way of attachingMovieClip) that you load dynamic content, at least you can apply custom properties, and you can always reference them for each object.
What I'm trying to do is load a group of Images via XML. Each one of those images have a set of information that is associated with them (name, description, etc). I have the images loading in and positioning just fine, however when trying to have a tooltip show the name on Mouse Over, I'm not able to achieve this...
In short. I want to be able to store information for each item so that I can access it. Is there a way to do this in AS3 with a Loader or is there another route I can go? If I do this with Arrays, how do I store the Index of the specific item so I can use that in reference to the position in each array?
