[flexcoders] Re: How to test for object and do other things

[timgerr]

Thnaks for the help, here is the problem that I am getting.  I will
show you my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" >
        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                        public var obj:Object = new Object;
                        public function DoIt():void
                        {
                                NewObj();
                        }
                        public function NewObj():void
                        {
                                obj.myInput1 = 'Odd';
                                obj.myInput2 = 'Even';
                                obj.myInput3 = 'Odd';
                                obj.myInput4 = 'Even';
                                obj.myInput5 = 'Odd';
                                obj.myInput6 = 'Even';
                                obj.myInput7 = 'Odd';
                                
                                for (var prop:String in obj)
                                {
                                        if(this[prop].text) {
                                                trace('found');
                                                this[prop].text = obj[prop];
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:TextInput id="myInput1" text="Enter text here"/>
        <mx:TextInput id="myInput3" text="Enter text here"/>
        <mx:TextInput id="myInput5" text="Enter text here"/>
        <mx:TextInput id="myInput7" text="Enter text here"/>
        <mx:Button id="Click" click="DoIt()"/>
</mx:Application>

I get an error "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property myInput6 not
found on Objects and there is no default value."  Not sure whey
myInput6 is being seen since I am doing the if statement.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help
