> i'm trying to bind an associative array to some component property,
You can get close-ish using ObjectProxy:
[Bindable] var p:ObjectProxy;
function init() {
var obj:Object = {name: "alice" };
p = new ObjectProxy(d);
}
...
<mx:Label text="name is {p.name}" />
<mx:Button click="p.name='bob' " />
ObjectProxy wraps 'obj' and intercepts any attempt to get/set/call
anything on it. Crucially, when a property is set on ObjectProxy it
fires a PropertyChange event, which is what a data binding looks for
as the signal to update. While this will work with dynamic
properties using the normal '.' accessing syntax, I don't think
this'll work if you use the square bracket notation (perhaps someone
more knowledgable could tell us why?)
