Hi,
I have a project where we are passing XML via a socket to a C++
based server and there is an issue with the ordering of XML elements
inside a packet.
In AS3, I am assembling a packet with a <parameters> element that
contains 1 or more children with <name>value</name> type syntax.
Because the "params" are passed into a generic function, I am looping
through an object as follows:
//if params, loop through params, create params.
if (null != params) {
cmd.command.appendChild(<parameters/>);
for (var par:* in params) {
//var val:String = ;
var parXML:XML =
<{par}>{params[par].toString()}</{par}>;
cmd.command.parameters.appendChild(parXML);
}
}
The C++ guy is asking if I can send these parameters in a specific
order, but I can't see any way to guarantee that order without
hardcoding, or using an indexed array, which implies hardcoding
somewhere else.
Does anyone know of a way to do this - I suppose I could loop
through the object, get the property "keys", sort these, then loop
through the result to read values, but guessing thats the only way.
I could also argue that the back end needs to use an XML parser that
does not care about element order, so if anyone has any tips on that, it
would be appreciated.
