associativ array ?

[manix]

Sorry if it was already posted, i'm new here.

I don't know ECMA specification about this, but it seems that associativ arrays are not supported in FFish ( they are in Actionscript and Javascript ).

Are you planning to support it ?

var _array = new Array();
_array[ 3 ] = 123; // ok
_array[ "test" ] = 456; // error (invalid index)

Thanks, and bravo for the great work

Hi,

Sorry, SWFKit does not support it.

Haven't tried this yet, but I think it may work??
ie Use an Object object , rather than an Array object.

var _array = new Object();
_array[ "test" ] = 456;

Below some further explorations: This approach seems to work and provides a useful basis for some data structures.

var objArray = new Object();
objArray[1] = 1;
objArray[2] = 2;
objArray[3] = 3;
objArray['index1'] = 'string_1';
objArray.index2 = 'string_2';


trace (objArray[1]);
trace (objArray['index1']);
trace (objArray.index2);

objArray.index3 = objArray[3];
for (var ndx in objArray) {
trace(ndx + ':' + objArray[ndx]);
}

Trace:

1
string_1
string_2
__proto__:3
index3:3
index2:string_2
index1:string_1
