Question

dynamic class & property

Hi there!

I would like to know, if it is possible to mimic the behavior of XML dynamic class:

var xm:XML =

    <question idAttr="atribute xml">

    </question>;


trace(xm.attributes());

trace("Attributes: "+xm["attributes"]);

xm["attributes"] = {a:"atr1", b:"atr2"}; (in my dynamic class with attributes function, I get ReferenceError: Error #1037)

trace("Attributes: "+xm["attributes"]);

trace(xm.attributes());

So I can call:

     xm.attributes() method which gives me XML attributes

and use

     xm["attributes"] = {a:"atr1", b:"atr2"};

which writes to the "attributes" property and not references the XML class function.

My question:

How can I do the same in my custom dynamic class ?

OK, sorry for not the most clear explanation.

In brief: I would like to write a dynamic class, that has a public method attributes() and to be able to add in runtime, a property "attributes" to the intance of that class.

So:

public dynamic class XMLObject extends Object

{

     public function attributes():void

     {

          //do anything

     }

}

var o:XMLObject = new XMLObject();

o["attributes"] = {prop:"my object property"}

o.attrubutes() // runs the method

This is somehow done in XML class...

Hope that now it is more clear...

never use flash keywords for user-defined properties, methods or variables.

pick some other method name like attributesF()

The thing is that it is not the name that matters...

if I use other name, Fattributes for example, I still can't adress the instance in a way:

o["Fattributes"] = {prop:"my object"}

because o["Fattributes"] points to a method in the class instance.

But this is somehow solved in the XML class, and I wonder how..

what are you trying to do?  add attributes to your xml instance?
