Wow, a lot of misinformation here gents.
this._data["a"] = {"1":new Number(0), "2":new Number(0), "3":new
Number(0)};
When creating a new object using this syntax the property names are
considered strings. Adding the quotes is what is causing the issue. If you
remove the quotes the compiler will still complain because you can start a
property value with a number, unless you use the [] syntax for creating a
property. In that case you can use anything you want, even non-printable
characters.

That's not true.
Just wrote this and it works fine.
a = {};
a["a"] = {};
a["a"][1] = new Number(5);
trace(a["a"][1]);
"
The quote was "in line objects", so the statement was true. What you did
was take the "in line objects" and represent it in a different manner.
"The second line does not work because you are evaluating a string to try
to resolve it to a property of the object, (which you are hoping is a
sub-object) that does not exist yet."
No, he wasn't.
this._data = new Object(); // Fine
this._data["a"] = {}; // Still fine
this._data was created, then this._data.a is created afterwards using the
{} syntax instead of new Object().
That's why this still produces errors:
"
private function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data["a"] = new Object();
this._data["a"] = {"t1":0, "t2":0};
}
"
If you MUST have numbers as the property values, use Chris Benjaminsen's
version:
function createObj():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data["a"] = new Object();
this._data["a"][1] = new Number(0)
...
}

Subject: SPAM-LOW: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
Hi list...
Simple question -- why doesn't the 2nd line work? The identifier
expected error is traced at compile time.
Thanks,

function createObj():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data["a"] = {"1":new Number(0), "2":new Number(0), "3":new
Number(0)};
}
