RE: [flexcoders] AS Array vs. MXML Array

Fri, 17 Jun 2005 13:44:56 -0700

Another way is to create an AS class to encapsulate the repeating object…  Like so:

 

Class YourItem

{

    public var label : String;

    public var data : Number;

    public var bool : Boolean;

 

    public function YourItem()

    {

        //blank constructor

    }

}

 

Add xmlns="*"

 

<mx:Array>

    <YourItem>

        <label></label>

        <data></data>

        <bool></bool>    

    </YourItem>

</mx:Array>

You can do that, but those are unamed properties, hence my question about how to name them.  For instance, what if you need to get the to boolean; how do you access it?  A for in loop utilizing instanceof to determine if it's a Boolean?  What if I had more than one?

You may want to try this instead.  I didn’t test this, but I think I have used it before.

 

<mx:Array>

    <mx:Object>

        <mx:String>d4</mx:String>

        <mx:Number>d4</mx:Number>

        <mx:Boolean>d4</mx:Boolean>

    </mx:Object>

</mx:Array>

Hehe..

 

And would this work?

 

var theLabel:String = "d4";

var theData:Number = 4;

var theBoolean:Boolean = true;

 

<mx:Array>

  <mx:Object label=”{String(theLabel)}” data="" flag="{Boolean(theBoolean)}" />

</mx:Array>

And if it doesn't work, does that mean that Flex always recognize 'true' as a Boolean and not as a String?

 

I can't think of a case where it would matter that your 'best-guess' is wrong but just interested..

We make a “best-guess” as to whether it should be a string or a number or a boolean.  Sometimes people get frustrated because we guess number and they wanted string J

What about the :Number and :String difference in his Array, aren't the label and data properties both Strings now..?

Alternatively:

<mx:Array>

  <mx:Object label=”d4” data="" boolean="{Boolean(true)}" />

</mx:Array>
