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.
