Hmph... Before I do that, Mayur have you double checked everything?
I don't wanna look like more of a clueless douche than usual, so I made a
couple of changes to the code you submitted and got this:
---
mydict.as------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package {
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
public class mydict extends Dictionary
{
public static var instance:mydict // done to maintain singleton
class
function mydict (){
super();
}
public static function getInstance():mydict {
if (instance == null) instance = new mydict();
return instance;
}
public function addTodict(id:int,val:String):void{
mydict [id] = val // its giving me error here...can not create
proeprty 26..(if id was 26..) on mydict
}
}
}
--- testbed.mxml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
xmlns:ns1="*" creationComplete="test()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
protected function test() : void {
mydict.getInstance().addTodict(26, "AddedToDict");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="Testbed" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>
</mx:Application>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it seems to work fine for me. So I'm happy to file a bug, but please
give me the code you were actually using that failed with a copy-paste,
rather than re-typing it from memory.
