fscommand() 385
Example
The following is an example of using for..in to iterate over the properties of an object:
myObject = { name:'Tara', age:27, city:'San Francisco' };
for (name in myObject) {
trace ("myObject." + name + " = " + myObject[name]);
}
The output of this example is as follows:
myObject.name = Tara
myObject.age = 27
myObject.city = San Francisco
The following is an example of using the typeof operator with for..in to iterate over a
particular type of child:
for (name in my_mc) {
if (typeof (my_mc[name]) = "movieclip") {
trace ("I have a movie clip child named " + name);
}
}
The following example enumerates the children of a movie clip and sends each to Frame 2 in their
respective Timelines. The
RadioButtonGroup movie clip is a parent with several children,
_RedRadioButton_, _GreenRadioButton_ and _BlueRadioButton.
for (var name in RadioButtonGroup) {
RadioButtonGroup[name].gotoAndStop(2);
}
