Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Passing an object reference as a property
In simple terms I think what kevin wants to do is:
var x;
var myvar;
var value;
function A(varname, value) {
varname = value)
}
myvar = "x";
value = 42;
A(myvar, value);
The required result is that the variable x should contain the value 42.
I don't know how to to this.
