Anyone know a good way to filter an array of non dynamic objects using an object as a key? So I have a Tom object and I want to find all the people objects in an array of people that matches the Tom object. Match them based on public properties of the object.
I need some way to compare object properties to each other, but I can’t seem to use a for in loop because the objects aren’t dynamic it’s a custom class with public properties set in the constructor.
I’m guessing I would need to use describeType, with something like Fuzzy Match does ([http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33714&highlight=compare+objects](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33714&highlight=compare+objects)). Just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. If anyone has any insight into a method of doing this I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
Jesse

```auto
var matches:int=0
for (var key in object) if (object[key]==otherObject[key]) matches+=1;
```

It doesn’t seem to find anything. I thought a for in only worked with a dynamic properties? Should I rewrite my object to have dynamic properties? Or is there another way to achieve this?
