RE: [Flashcoders] Traversing through Object goes backwards

2007-09-13 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael 
Thanks for the response Andy.  I just ended up doing this:


public function reverseObject(objToReverse:Object):Object {
// reverses the object again after built, meaning it's now in
the right order
var alteredObj:Object = new Object();
for (var i in objToReverse) {
alteredObj[i] = objToReverse[i];
}
return alteredObj;
}






 Objects work pretty much like hashtables (from my understanding).
Hashtables generally don't guarantee any kind of ordering.  Flash may
enforce some kind of ordering (y seems to be going in reverse order of
when things were added) but I don't know of any ordering and generally
treat it as arbitrary.

Now, if you were using Arrays then your ordering would be guaranteed
(for-in loops go backwards through the array I believe).

Hello :)

Use my framework and this ADT package based on the JAVA collections
framework :

The Map and the SortedArrayMap tutorial :

My SortedArrayMap can help you :)

You can use my vegas.data package in AS2/AS3 and SSAS :)
