I’m trying to build an object object from input text. I can load the information into a variable using LoadVar with no problem but when I load that information into an object ( object {}😉 Flash does not recognize the object as on object.

Any ideas?

object is a key word and is the basic building block for a large amount of flash. name it something else.

I guess that my example is not clear. I am using the object initializer which has the syntax of object {};  
and I am trying to get my input string e.g.

instr={prop1:value1,prop2:value2…propn:valuen}

into an object so that I can reference

instr.prop1, etc, and get the value of the properties

Does this make sense?

Well, if I understand what you’re trying to do, you want to loadVars into an object, right?

```auto
myLV.onLoad=function(){
    myObject={};
    myObject.prop1=this.value1;
    // etc.
}

```

This should work, I think.

pom :cowboy:
