I guess "clone()" was psuedocode! I just found "objectCopy" in the livedocs flex api, and it is supposedly "for internal use only".
But I also found Darron Schall's article about it here: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000148.cfm Also, for a simple array of objects, it is easy to write your own copy routine. function arrayCopy(aArray:Array):Array { var aCopy:Array = new Array() for (var i:Number=0;i<aArray.length;i++) { aCopy.push(aArray[i]); } } Tracy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manish Jethani Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Reloading Data Question On 5/6/05, David Terry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Or is it going to be some like... > var objData:Object; > > objData = catalog.product.clone(); See this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"> <mx:Script> import mx.utils.ObjectCopy; function copyObject(source:Object):Object { var newObject:Object = ObjectCopy.copy(source); ObjectCopy.copyProperties(newObject, source); return newObject; } </mx:Script> <mx:Model id="model"> <root> <item> <creature>elephant</creature> <legs>4</legs> </item> <item> <creature>human</creature> <legs>2</legs> </item> </root> </mx:Model> <mx:DataGrid id="grid" dataProvider="{copyObject(model.root).item}" /> <mx:Button click="grid.removeItemAt(0)"> <mx:label>grid.removeItemAt(0)</mx:label> </mx:Button> <mx:DataGrid id="grid2" dataProvider="{model.root.item}" /> </mx:Application> copyObject() makes a copy of the object. Clicking on the "removeItemAt(0)" button removes the 1st item from the first grid only. So the original data provider object (which the second grid uses directly) is not modified. Yahoo!
