[Flashcoders] Adding a property to an AS3-component

[Alexander Farber]

Hello,

is it actually possible to add a new property
to an AS3-component, like button? I try:

  import fl.controls.Button;

  var button:Button = new Button();
  button['old_item'] = 42;
  //button.old_item = 42;
  addChild(button);

but get the run-time error:

  ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property old_item on
fl.controls.Button.
        at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Regards
Alex
