Thanks Jason, I think I still don't understand the big trick of value objects. :-( I will try to transform this in a working example so maybe then it will ring the bell.
Thanks a lot, Regards, Cor van Dooren The Netherlands -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: dinsdag 7 september 2010 17:02 To: Flash Coders List Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] parsing multi-dimensional array >> Can you give an example, of such a multidimensional array, and how to do this with value objects? Hi Cor. Sorry it took me so long to respond, due to Labor Day here in the states. Sure: //Value Object examples: package { public class ExampleValueObject { public var myProperty:String; //this example has no default value public var myOtherProperty:Number = 0; //this has a default value. public var myOtherValueObjects:Array = []; //An array to store other value objects } } package { public class MyOtherExampleValueObject { public var someOtherExampleValue:String; } } //Use value objects to store data, including value objects within value objects: var myExampleVOs:Array = []; for each (var exampleValue:String in someData) { var myExampleVO:ExampleObject = new ExampleValueObject(); myExampleVO.myProperty = exampleValue; myExampleVO.myOtherProperty = someNumber; for each(var someOtherValue:String in someOtherData) { var myOtherValueObject:MyOtherExampleValueObject = new MyOtherExampleValueObject(); myOtherValueObject.someOtherExampleValue = someOtherValue; myExampleVO.myOtherValueObjects.push(myOtherValueObject); } myExampleVOs.push(myExampleVO); } Now you have an array of ExampleValueObjects, and each of those have properties - and one of those properties is an array of MyOtherExampleValueObjects. And your code completion (at least in a good AS code editor) will work on all this data, so no mistakes or guesswork, and you've described related data in a logical, easy to access, typecast and easy-to-transfer-around way.
