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.
