You don't need to cast via a function, you can do that already. While this works:
objectA = ViewStack.getChildAt(0); objectA.bar(); Since Flex' compiler thinks objectA is just a vanilla Object, thus can't imply it's type. However, if you want strict-typing, you can do: objectA = object1(ViewStack.getChildAt(0)); objectA.bar(); This assumes object1 is an imported class. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Libby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 1:00 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Cast Object Name from string then do object.function() - is it possible? In Flex is there a way to pass an object name into a method and then cast that name to another object in order to execute a method on that object ? foo("myMxmlObjectName"); function foo(object1:String) { var objectA:UIComponent; objectA = object1(ViewStack.getChildAt(0)); objectA.bar(); } Thanks, Libby -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
