It's normal behavior for AS3. In fact, there is no Associative Array
in AS3 (that's a PHP term and convention).
You'd want to look into using a Dictionary object or iterating over a
dynamic object:
var foo:Object ={item1: val, item2: val};
var count:int = 0;
for (var bar:* in foo) {
Do not call return in a try catch.

Are you suggesting
Hey guys,
I need a little help here... I'm working on porting some existing AS2 code
to AS3. A porting of the AS2 class watched _root variables which were
updated by javascript (using setVariable) - When a change occurred the
callback method would change instance properties, fire events etc etc...
Hi,
I use an array to store object with their name like that:
views[ viewName ] = Object
then views.length return 0
...
It's normal behaviour ?? length work only on numerical indexes ?

Hello Group -
This should be really easy. I am trying to find out how to check if a
function exists or not in AS3 -
I tried this:
code
If ( currentSection.refresh != null ) {
currentSection.refresh();
}
/code
But I get ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property
The ethos of AS3 is that instead of watching something, you indeed setup
events that are fired when they change. So instead you just do an
.addEventListener() to the object created.
Each object type has particular events it can fire. A LoaderInfo class
dispatches complete, httpStatus, init,
401 - 500 of 1482 matches
