I understand what you're saying, but in context of what he's trying to do
(inline object declaration), explain the compiler error on this code:
function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data["a"] = {"t1":0, "t2":0};
trace(this._data.a.t1)
}
createData();
So instead, this is ugly, but works:
function createData():Void {
this._data = new Object();
this._data["a"] = new Object();
this._data["a"].t1 = 0
this._data["a"].t2 = 0
trace(this._data.a.t1)
}
createData();

Stop using new Object() and use {};
:)
I'm not experiencing the same issue you're having Jason. Not sure why.

RE: Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
I didn't even notice that in the script before - should have been obvious.
Sorry for the noise.

Re: Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Identifier expected
It's nothing to do with the 'a', it's the 't1' and such in quotes
that's the issue.
>>MJ> function createData():Void {
>>MJ> this._data = new Object();
>>MJ> this._data["a"] = new Object();
>>MJ> this._data["a"] = {"t1":0, "t2":0}; } // The quotes in this line are
wrong
Won't compile.
This will:
>>MJ> function createData():Void {
>>MJ> this._data = new Object();
>>MJ> this._data["a"] = new Object(); // Note this line is totally
pointless
>>MJ> this._data["a"] = {t1:0, t2:0}; } // This line is now correct
Incidentally, the third line is completely redundant. This is correct:
>>MJ> function createData():Void {
>>MJ> this._data = new Object();
>>MJ> this._data["a"] = {t1:0, t2:0}; }
Because new Object() and {} are synonymous.
var data:Object=new Object();
data['a']={t1:0,t2:0};
is exactly equal to:
var data:Object=new Object();
data['a']=new Object();
data['a']['t1']=0;
data['a']['t2']=0;
which is also equal to:
var data:Object={a:{t1:0,t2:0}};
or, because Object is dynamic
var data:Object=new Object();
data.a=new Object();
data.a.t1=0;
data.a.'t2=0;
To recap - the error was putting quotes in the key names.
HTH,
Ian

var data:Object=new Object(); data.a=new Object(); data.a.t1=0; data.a.'t2=0; Whoops - a stupid stray quote in the last line. Should of course have been: data.a.t2=0; Ian ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
