How do you implement assigning values to that array item? someClass.elem(0) = myObj;

I'd do it: class MyClass { private var myArray:Array; public function elem(n:Number):Object { return myArray[n]; } } And: var someClass:MyClass = new MyClass; thisItem = someClass.elem(0); Then you will get proper validation of argument, parameter and return types. -- Morten Barklund - Information Architect - Shockwaved Gothersgade 49, 4th floor - DK-1123 Copenhagen K, Denmark Phone: +45 7027 2227 - Fax: +45 3369 1174 _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders This message and any attachments should only be read by those persons to whom it is addressed and be used by them for its intended purpose.
