Demo | Download Full Project

See the following source code pls:

1. var myObject:Object = {firstName:”Tara”, age:27, city:”San Francisco”};
2. for (var prop in myObject) {
3.     trace(”myObject.”+prop+” = “+myObject[prop]);
4. }
5. /* output:
6. myObject.firstName = Tara
7. myObject.age = 27
8. myObject.city = San Francisco
9. */
10.  
11. var myObject:Object = {firstName:”Tara”, age:27, city:”San Francisco”};
12. for each (var item in myObject) {
13.     trace(item);
14. }
15. /* output:
16. Tara
17. 27
18. San Francisco
19. */

However, the “for in” statement just “Iterates over the dynamic properties of an object or elements in an array and executes statement for each property or element.”, “To get a list of fixed properties, use the describeType() function, which is in the flash.utils package.”. From the “Flex Help Document”, we can find the class definition of Dictionary as “public dynamic class Dictionary”. It means that the “key” is defined as a dynamic property of class Dictionary. So, we can get the keys through the “for in” statement.

1. public static function getKeys(d:Dictionary):Array
2. {
3.     var a:Array = new Array();
4.     for (var key:Object in d)
5.     {
6.         a.push(key);
7.     }
8.     return a;
9. }

Screenshot:

Click “add to dictionary” to add a new item into the defined Dictionary object.

Change the key name to add more items into the object.
