Hi all...
Hope everyone is having an incredible day.
How exactly do I pass a property list back and forth between Director and Flash? I'm kind of stumped on this.
For example:
An array similar in format to this: t = [#pGarbage:[#singer:"Shirley", #drummer:"Butch"]] ...needs to get into a Director global from either the Flash asset or read in via FileIO. If it's read in, I need to send this prop list to the Flash asset.
Perhaps the flash object is something like: t = new Object(); t["pGarbage"] = new Object(); t["pGarbage"]["singer"] = "Shirley"; t["pGarbage"]["drummer"] = "Butch";
It doesn't seem like the newObject() method works in this way (only linear lists?). Also, the number of properties is itself variable. There might be 10 props in a prop list assigned to pGarbage, so how to handle that?
I was thinking of changing the array to a string, but that doesn't seem to make sense. And, if anyone knows, how do you loop through all the properties of a flash object? In Lingo, it's obviously repeat with i = 1 to proplist.count. But, what is it in actionscript?
thanks, Michael M.
