OK, I'm not sure if I follow, but..
You basically want named views onto a set of data, each view uses a separate
object to hold the data for its own particular view.
You could use an array of objects to store the view data and each view
object could contain a view name.
I'm not really sure how the view name is being used - if it's a finite
number of views I'd probably use a constant for the view name as an index
into the array:
var FIRST_VIEW:uint = 0;
var SECOND_VIEW:uint = 1;
etc.
so then we refer to view[FIRST_VIEW].
If it's a true associative array you're after you might need a dictionary.
A lot of people try and write AS3 code using AS1/AS2 habits, so that's why
I asked.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 associativ array length=0
I have a static Caddy Class that needs defferent views to show its
content. I think I really need to store them with a name, so I could make
a viewsNum to store how many views I got.
The thing is then I update all the views and need to iterate through the
whole views array/object. For that I should have an array of views with a
numeric index and so, no name storing them. Dilema
or I make two arrays one for the name, and another for the objects, with
same index.
or store the name in the CaddyView class and when calling a view by it's
name just look in views array with the one that have the good name.
I think all the case are here, which one do you want Paul ? :) thx

Paul Andrews a écrit :
If you want an associative array like that use Object, not Array. The
length of an array is the number of elements in the array, so it's 0.
obj["name"] is referring to an attribute of an object not an element of
an Array..
Do you really have to store values like that?

Hi,
I use an array to store object with their name like that:
views[ "viewName" ] = Object
then views.length return 0 ...
It's normal behaviour ?? length work only on numerical indexes ?
