Hi molaro, nice blog,
I am trying to do something very similar to your example but getting error. Can you please help me solve the problem.

MenuBar definition

XMl List definition:

Now I am trying following:
menuBar.dataProvider.menuitem[0].subMenuitem[1].@label=”Change”;

But this gives me the error:
1120: Access of undefined property menuBar.

Can you please help me solve this..

Thanks for checking out the blog. To answer your question, writing Actionscript 3 code is very similar to writing Java. It’s object oriented, you write beans with getters/setters, you can use design patterns, write Interfaces, etc. The MXML is just a framework layer to the Actionscript. So in mxml is really:
var mybutton:Button = new Button();
mybutton.text=”Test”;
mybutton.width=14;

That’s a quick and dirty anwswer but I hope that helps.

Actually what you’re doing is not recommended in Flash (and also in Javascript for instance). Better use the Object class instead of Array.

From Adobe Documentation:
“Do not use the Array class to create associative arrays (also called hashes), which are data structures that contain named elements instead of numbered elements. To create associative arrays, use the Object class. Although ActionScript permits you to create associative arrays using the Array class, you cannot use any of the Array class methods or properties with associative arrays.”

Peter, glad you found this useful. Not much I can do about the quotes for copy and paste. I run into that all the time with other blogs as well. Thx for reading!

Comment on Associative Arrays in Actionscript by Peter

Peter — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:16:27 +0000

Code worked fine, but I had to re-type the quotes because of the formatting when copying and pasting it in.

Pushing the associative array into a numerically indexed array makes great sense for a multidimensional array, thanks!

Comment on Building a Nest: Twitter’s Business Potential by gskalski

gskalski — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:58:41 +0000

I have mixed feelings about this. I love that Twitter is free. I’m certain I would pay a small fee for it (just like I do for Flickr) if that was my only option to maintain the service. Sure, people may quit if they had to pay, but the people who choose to pay most likely will be among the ones adding the most value (“most likely” being the operative phrase).

That said, I would love it if Twitter stayed free and accessible to everyone. I’m among the people who think it would be OK to charge for corporate accounts, since many companies are turning the relationships/troubleshooting they do on Twitter into business. I also think it reasonable to charge people who tweet excessively. Still, I agree with your premise that Twitter should stay free if it can.

Comment on [ ACTIONSCRIPT ] Determining the Number of Days in a Month by flashDuniya

This is the very simple code to find the number of days in a month

function showDays(yr, mn){
var days:Date = new Date(yr, mn+1, 0);
trace(days.date);// It will trace total no. of days(28) in a month
}
showDays(2009, 1);// 1=February

Thanks,

Using the above code I have written the below function that gives you the month end date of the supplied date
But it is not tested too much in depth.

public function getMonthEndDate(dt:Date):Date
{
if(dt == null)
{
return dt;
}
return new Date(dt.getFullYear(), (dt.getMonth()+1)%12, 0);
}

Eldad is right. In ActionScript months start with 0 for January and end with 11 for December.

You can avoid using the Array access "[0]" altogether if you use just an Object instead of pushing an Object into an Array. An example of using just an Object is postedhere.
