How to "feed" an object with a string?

1

I would like to do something like :
mystr = “pr1:10, pr2:44”;
myobj = new object("{" + mystr + “}”);

This syntax doesn’t work.
(I would like not to use this syntax :
myobj.pr1=10;
myobj.pr2=44;)

Thanks for your help.

take a look at

http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=734

might be something to try out.

Otherwise, there is no inbuilt method to do what you’re trying to do. A method for interpreting that string would have to be developed from scratch (much like sx’s example in that link)

how about decode?

Object.prototype.decode = LoadVars.prototype.decode;
var myObj = new Object();
myObj.decode("pr1=10&pr2=44&");
trace(myObj.pr1);
trace(myObj.pr2);

=)

note that decode will make all the variables strings :wink:

yeah, i know that. but as far as i know flash doesn’t care if it’s a string/number/whatever. so if flash doesn’t care about that, why would we!? :wink:

dec might :slight_smile:

good answer. :stuck_out_tongue:

S and K :

I went to proto.layer.51 before and found nothing.

I think I can use decode (good “astuce” (trick)) and deal with numbers with thinks like isNan(number(myvar)).

Thanks a lot for saving me time.

(I’m writing from France where it’s about 1 pm. Because you’re writing from Mexico and Maryland, I’m amazed you’re so soon in front of your computer ! Did you even went to bed last night ?)

(and no, i didn’t sleep last night. :P)

Object.prototype.$decode = LoadVars.prototype.decode;
Object.prototype.decode = function(str) {
	var obj = new Object();
	obj.$decode(str);
	for (var prop in obj) {
		this[prop] = isNaN(obj[prop]) ? obj[prop] : parseInt(obj[prop]);
	}
};
var myObj = new Object();
myObj.decode("pr1=10&pr2=dec&");
trace(typeof myObj.pr1+" "+myObj.pr1);
trace(typeof myObj.pr2+" "+myObj.pr2);

only strings and numbers are recognized, does that help at all? :-\

It works fine.

Because I’m dealing with strings and numbers (not only integers), I’ve just to replace parseInt() by number().

Thank’s again. Have a nice day.

ok. no problem. =)
