I am reading the 'Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source' book and have a question as to why they used an object and not array. Page 118 for those that have the book.
What they are doing is taking an array (categories) and appending a new row to it Name=All and CategoryID=0. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to setting catObj as an object and not array? I would think you would want them to be the same thing. // define new var catObj as an object var catObj:Object = new Object(); // set the new object var NAME to ALL and set the CATEGORYID to 0 catObj.name = "All"; catObj.categoryID = 0; // now use addItemAt to append the catObj object to the categories array at the 0 position categories.addItemAt(catObj, 0); The book is good, but the OOP stuff when making your own actionscript classes in lesson 5 kind of confused me. Hopefully I will fully understand what they did as I learn more about AS.
