Associative Arrays with the Object Class

No comments

To create an associative in Actionscript 3 you will need to use the object class because of the named elements (vs. the numbered elements).

var assocArr:Object = {fName:"Morgan", lName:"Newcomb"};
trace(assocArr.fName);     // Output: Morgan
trace(assocArr["lName"]);  // Output: Newcomb

To add an element, you can add this to your code

assocArr.mi = "A";
trace(assocArr.mi);   // Output: A
