The last 2 weeks were crazy and I completely lost track of this so I
apologise for not responding to the answers (cheers though!). We
couldn't find a solution so we used an array instead, but the idea was
this.
I have:
var objs:Array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; // arbitrary length defined by the
number of parameters I receive from the XML.
I want to pass it to javascript like this:
ExternalInterface.call('jsFunc', objs[0], objs[1], objs[2], …);
so that the JS can use whatever params are provided.
I realise now however, that passing an Array (or name-value pairs) is
a far more stream-lined method of achieving this, but I'm still
curious if I could in fact build a function in a loop and then call it
after. Interpretive languages could possibly handle this real easily,
but is there an interesting workaround?
Maybe something like:
var st:String = "function() { jsFunc(";
for each(var i:String in objs)
{
st += i+", ";
}
st+=");";
ExternalInterface.call(st);
It's reaching for stupidity because I lose the beautiful automatic
Array conversion that AS3 does, but curiosity has the better of me at
the moment.
Cheers,
Ashim
