MACROMEDIA FLEX-FLEX ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE Reference page 108

Example
The first line of the following code creates an empty object using the object initializer ({})
operator; the second line creates a new object using a constructor function:
var object:Object = {};
var object:Object = new Object();
The following example creates an object
, ,
city state zip
var account:Object = {name:"Macromedia, Inc.",
address:"600 Townsend Street",
city:"San Francisco",
state:"California",
zip:"94103",
balance:"1000"};
for (i in account) {
trace("account."+i+" = "+account[i]);
}
The following example shows how array and object initializers can be nested within each other:
var person:Object = {name:"Gina Vechio",
children:["Ruby", "Chickie", "Puppa"]};
The following example uses the information in the previous example and produces the same
result using constructor functions:
var person:Object = new Object();
person.name = "Gina Vechio";
person.children = new Array();
person.children[0] = "Ruby";
person.children[1] = "Chickie";
person.children[2] = "Puppa";
The previous ActionScript example can also be written in the following format:
var person:Object = new Object();
person.name = "Gina Vechio";
person.children = new Array("Ruby", "Chickie", "Puppa");
