Hey.

If I set an object like this:

```auto
	var dat:Object = new Object();

```

And set variables within it like this:

```auto
	dat.size=5;
	dat.open="asdf";

```

Is it possable to print them like this:

```auto
	trace(dat);//its not

```

instead of like this:

```auto
	trace(dat.size+" "+dat.open);

```
