Re: [Flashcoders] vardump an object in ActionScript?
Yeah I shouldn't diss it.. it's a cool tool, i'll give them that!. I guess I never have problems with depths or placement so it's just to much for me. So use what's comfortable. XRay is a nice tool. I'm not trying to diss it. Aaron Smith On Feb 13, 2006, at 2:50 PM, Chris Allen wrote: On 2/13/06, Aaron Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: xRay is bloaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] vardump an object in ActionScript?
Yeah, a for...in loop is what you want in Actionscript too.
However, to save you a few minutes, below is the function I use.
static function printr( object, depth ){
if ( depth == undefined ) depth = 3;
var depth_spacing:String = "";
var string_rep:String = "";
for ( var attrib in object ){
var attrib_value:String = "";
if ( depth > 0 && ( typeof( object[attrib] ) == "object" ||
typeof( object[attrib] ) == "movieclip") ){
attrib_value = printr( object[attrib], depth-1 );
if ( attrib_value == "" ){
attrib_value = "[]";
if (object[attrib] instanceof Array){
attrib_value = "[empty Array]";
}
}
} else {
attrib_value = "" + object[attrib];
}
string_rep += "\n" + depth_spacing.substr(depth*2) + "[ " +
attrib + " ]:" + typeof(object[attrib]) + " = " + attrib_value;
}
return string_rep;
}
