Yeah spot on,
I'm after the reference, not the primitive value.


The this[ 'myVal'+i ] idea was already proposed to me.
I guess what i'm looking for is a way to store the reference to the bindable value in an array so that i can access via an array integer index rather than using array access notation.

Its is the same if i go,

[code]

[Bindable] var myVal:Boolean

update( myVal );

function update( val:Boolean ) {
 val = true;
}

[/code]

Again i get the evaluated value and not the maintained reference.

I am a bit out of my league here, but isn’t it the case that to do what you want, you need an array or *references* to the variables? And aren’t “primitive” data typed variables really literal values and not references?



Hmm, if you can enforce a naming convention, you could do:

function {

for ( var i = 0; i<nSomeNumber; i++ ) {
this[“myVal “ +  i ] = true;
}
}

(maybe a do while, instead of for?)

Subject: [flexcoders] Setting Multiple Bindable Properties



Hey Ya'll

let me eloborate, say i have:

[code]

[Bindable] var myVal1:Boolean;
[Bindable] var myVal2:Boolean;

[/code]

and i want to update the values (which in turn would update the
'view' ) via an array loop, intuitively i would code

[code]

function {
var myArray = [ myVal1, myVal2 ]
for ( var i = 0; i<myArray.length; i++ ) {
myArray[ i ] = true;
}
}

[/code]

Of course this does not update the bindable values but rather the
arrays' indexed items.

How can i achieve this result?

Regards,

Bjorn
