Hi list, I posted this question a week ago on flash tiger, but never got an answer. So I try my luck here.
I create an object and dynamically assign properties to it, values from xml-nodes. If an xml-node has child nodes the property assigned is an object and the values of the child nodes are assigned as properties to that object: private function createProperties(node:XML, container:*):void { for each (var childNode:XML in node.*) { if(childNode.children().length() == 0) { container[childNode.localName()] = null; } else if(childNode.children().length() == 1) { container[childNode.localName()] = childNode.*; } else { container[childNode.localName()] = new Object(); createProperties(childNode, container[childNode.localName()]); } } } Now I want to trace what properties are created with the following function: private function traceProperties(object:Object):void { for (var prop:* in object) { trace(prop + " is: " + object[prop]); traceProperties(prop); } if(object.hasOwnProperty("layers")) { trace("this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title is: " + this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title); trace("this.classes.class1.keyText is: " + this.classes.class1.keyText); } } This traces: source is: null note is: null subTitle is: null copyright is: Geografiek, 2011 mapType is: chorochromaat classes is: [object Object] key is: [object Object] layers is: [object Object] this.layers.gemeenteNaam.title is: gemeentenamen this.classes.class1.keyText is: Noord-Nederland >From this I gather that all properties are actually created on their desired >level (last 2 traced lines). But the function traceProperties() does not automatically catch all properties. At least not the properies inside the objects How do I check if an object has properties at all and how do I trace them?
