Re: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
As you have discovered you are not able to use numbers as keys in line
objects.
Trying to do what you do will however not change this. Only way to do
what you want would be to insert the indexes manually:
function createObj():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data[a] = new Object();
this._data[a][1] = new Number(0)
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
2 issues:
1) identifiers are an expression not a string ie a:hey vs a:hey. The
later will not work
2) You can not use a number as identifier in this case. The compiler catches
it and throws an error. However, you can hack it using this[1] = hello
world; trace(this[1]); but then you can use {:} type syntax.

That's not true.
Just wrote this and it works fine.
a = {};
a[a] = {};
a[a][1] = new Number(5);
trace(a[a][1]);
-- 5
Works for me. You must be doing something else wrong.
I'm not sure why you're using new Number(). I don't think I've ever
used that. Ever.

RE: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
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. In other words,
this._data.a
the .a in the above statement has not been declared or identified as an
object, and thus this._data[a] resolves to nothing.

RE: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
Thanks Jason. I see what you're saying. So I inited an object and then
define it, but the below still errors. I was just hoping to be able to
define my object with only one line of code.
private function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data[a] = new Object();
this._data[a] = {t1:0, t2:0};
}
I was using new Number for a reason, but it's not critical I suppose.
Thanks Steven.

RE: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
That's because you're still not refrencing an object that exists:
this._data[a] = new Object();
You're saying, Hey, _data, make your a property an object. But Flash
is saying, hold on cowboy, I don't see any property of _data called a.
So instead:
private function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data.a = new Object();
this._data.a = {t1:0, t2:0};
}
Or use the one-liner Steve just posted, which is intead, an explicit
declaration. I use that one commonly.

RE: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
Right, But a is not an object. If you follow the thread, you will
see that's' what he's trying to do. There IS something wrong with:
private function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data[a] = new Object();
this._data[a] = {t1:0, t2:0};
}
createData()
trace(this._data.a)

OK, I see, so then curious why this script returns compiler errors:
function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data[a] = new Object();
this._data[a] = {t1:0, t2:0};
}
createData()
trace(this._data.a)
Seems to be something wrong with that.
