tnx for the answers :)

i guess i will use the [], as i just need it in AS3, and normally i dont try to 
run code with eval(), just create/acess objects 

thnx a lot :)

Asunto: Re: [flexcoders] Re: string to actual actionscript code?


The array accessor [] does not quite duplicate what eval() used to. From 
my recollection you could actually run code with eval, which of course 
is impossible to do with []. I know there's a way to do code injection 
in AS3, but I don't remember the tecnique offhand.

The interesting thing about [] of course is that AS3 can do 
two-dimensional "arrays," and you can "chain" two array accessors 
together to make both the object and its property dynamic, like so:

this.someInstance. someProperty
==
this["myObject" ]["daProp" ]

Which makes things very interesting. Of course this only works if the 
property exists or the class is dynamic.

A for loop and the [] syntax is much lower level and much more efficient 
than a repeater, but of course a repeater is bindable and has other 
useful stuff.
