Is it possible to check certain properties of a class instance against a dynamic object?

Given a class with multiple properties…

var bob : Person= new Person();  
bob.name = “Bob”;  
bob.weight = “150”;  
bob.height = “5”

var obj:Object = {name:“Bob”};

Looping through the object returns the value but not reference. Is this possible?

Alternatively, I guess I could create an array in each class that contains a list of properties, and use that for the loop.
