Not 100% sure, but QNames have special privileges in AS as they generally get evaluated before applied as a property lookup. If you do
d[http://foo::bar <http://foo::bar/> ], what happens? Also, if you apply the qname to an Object does it work? If the dictionary doesn't use weak keys, there's really no difference. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg McCreath Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 6:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Why can't I use a QName as a Dictionary key ? Hi All, var nameSpace: Namespace = new Namespace("http://foo <http://foo/> "); var qname: QName = new QName(nameSpace,"bar"); var d:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); d[qname] = "why does this blow up?"; gives an explosion: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property http://foo::bar on flash.utils.Dictionary. you simpy cannot use a QName as a Dictionary key. I've tried it in 10 different ways (namespaces with/without prefixes etc etc). Why is this so? It extends Object ... and I can use Objects for keys in a Dictionary. All help appreciated.
