Here is a start for you, from Dave Yang:
http://quantumwave.com/flash/listObject.html. Somewhere he had a method
to show arrays formatted in a way similar to what you show too, but I
can't find that. This one works nicely though -- I tried a quickly
modified version to see:
var o:Object = {
x:5,
a:['abc', 'def', 'ghi'],
c:'a string',
d:{p1:17, p2:'something else', p3:{a:'here', b:'there'}, p4:[1, 2,
3, 4]}
};
function tabs() {
var t = "";
for (var i = 0; i<listObj.tabs; i++) {
t += "\t";
}
return t;
}
function listObj(o) {
listObj.tabs++;
ASSetPropFlags(o, null, 6, true);
var t = "";
for (var p in o) {
if (p != "__proto__") {
var v = o[p];
switch (typeof v) {
case "function":
// if (_global[p] != null) t += (tabs()+p+"()"+"\n") +
listObj(_global[p]);
// else t += (tabs()+p+"()"+"\n");
break;
case "object":
t += (tabs()+p+"\n") + listObj(v);
break;
default:
t += (tabs()+p+": "+v+"\n");
}
if (listObj.tabs < 1) t += "\n";
}
}
t += "\n";
listObj.tabs--;
return t;
}
listObj.tabs = -1;
trace(listObj(o));
I'll look forward to your nice modified version :)

I'm quite sure that this must be around somewhere, but this time I didn't
have any luck searching the archives...
What I'm looking for is similar to a deep-copy/clone method (e.g.
Arul/Tatsuo
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2004-March/106149.htm
l) but instead of getting a clone of the object in return, I'd like to get a
String representation of the object.
Example of the desired functionality:
o = {a:1, b:2, c:{c1:['a','b','c'], c2:true}};
var s:String = universalToString(o);
trace(s);
Output: {a:1, b:2, c:{c1:['a','b','c'], c2:true}}
In my case the object will not contain any methods, just (deeply nested)
'vanilla' Objects, Arrays, Strings, Numbers and Booleans.
Thanks for any pointers!
