Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Tracing out objects in an array
Hi all, I have been out of the scene for a while. Is there a "cloud menu" navigation FLA somewhere? I can write one myself, but rather use what exists Brief: One object is connected to 1 or more other objects. This is shown via lines. Other objects are connected to these objects and connected via lines as well. An example: http://amaznode.fladdict.net/ This week I will be prototyping a new code generator (based on old stuff I have) It will map database-tables to forms and auto-generate all code and interactions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Tracing out objects in an array
You can also just use the XrayTrace class if you'd like and modify it to
your liking. One thing that it has built in is recursion checking - ie -
you won't hit a 256 levels of recursion error, which wasn't addressed in the
above mentioned methods. If you have an array with objects or pointers that
would cause a circular reference, you'd get the 256 level error.
Example:
var obj = new Object();
obj.myObjRef = obj;
function searchMe(obj):Void
{
for(var items:String in obj)
{
if(typeof(obj[items]) == "object") searchMe(obj[items]);
}
}
searchMe(this);
This may seem like a rediculouse scenario, and it is, but it's to illustrate
situations where you register object references with other objects etc (ever
looked through any of the v2 components with Xray? that's a great example).
Recursion can get messy real fast.
If you have questions on the way I did the checking (IE: why not loop and
store object references?) I'd be glad to answer up ;) I've been down this
road a million times with Xray and would LOVE to find different methods for
attacking this very issue. So far, the current implementation is fast and
solid.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Tracing out objects in an array
Try using Xray http://osflash.org/xray It comes with a tt(YourObject) method that will recursively trace your objects. It also allows you to inspect objects, MovieClips or whatever is in your Flash movie and manipulate them with a GUI at run-time. It's freaking great! -Chris ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Here another one
arr = [
"humm",["I",{wonder:["where","you","learned",{to:"indent",so:["badly"]}]}]
];
trace
Array contents:
0: humm
1: trace = [type Function]
1 = [object Object]
0 = I
Now let's try core2
#include "core2_v1.0.1_AS.as1"
trace( arr.toSource( 0 ) );
trace
[
"humm",
[
"I",
{
wonder:
[
"where",
"you",
"learned",
{
to:"indent",
so:
[
"badly"
]
}
]
}
]
]
You could also try that for some more fun
_global.walk = {the:{path:{of:{the:{object:{}};
trace( GetObjectPath( walk.the.path.of.the.object ) );
trace
walk.the.path.of.the.object
trace( "walk:" + walk.toSource( 1, "**" ) );
trace
walk:
{
the:
**{
**path:
{
of:
**{
**the:
{
object:
**{
**__path__:"walk.the.path.of.the.object"
**}
}
**}
}
**}
}
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk ) ) );
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk.the ) ) );
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk.the.path ) ) );
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk.the.path.of ) ) );
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk.the.path.of.the ) ) );
trace( String.format( "{0,40:_}", GetObjectPath( walk.the.path.of.the.object
) ) );
trace
walk
walk.the
___walk.the.path
walk.the.path.of
walk.the.path.of.the
_walk.the.path.of.the.object
Do you understand *now* the difference between a library
and a single function ?

Hi,
I'm populating an array with objects.
When I trace out the array I get
==[object Object]
Whats the best way to trace out the contents of the objects once they're
in the array?
There are different ways
It could be as simple as
trace( myArray.toSource( 0 ) );
