function analyze(_obj):void {
var item:Object;
switch (typeof(_obj)){
case “object”:
write(“”);
for (var key in _obj){
write(“”);
analyze(_obj[key]);
write(“”);
};
write(“”);
break;
case “xml”:
write(“”);
write(_obj);

} // analyze()

But as Alex raised it doesn't work for objects. It works fine for an object like the one you mentioned in your example, but consider an object which comes from a custom class. var myObj:myCustomClass = new myCustomClass(); analyze(myObj); it won't work. If you can update it it will be a great relief for all AS developers. Hey benjamin

var myObj:myCustomClass = new myCustomClass();
analyze(myObj);

it won’t work.

Benjamin Update: the typeof() function returns ‘object’ for an array. so there’s no need to specifically include it in the switch-case query.

@Alex: These examples work correctly in my demo:
var boolean:Boolean = false;
var string:String = “Lorem”;
var number:Number = 23;
var array:Array = new Array(1,2,”3″);
var object:Object = new Object();
object.string = string;
object.number = number;
object.array = array;

analyze(boolean);
analyze(string);
analyze(number);
analyze(array);
analyze(object);

If you still got problems with the updated version of the function please submit the missbehaving object and I’ll try to fix it.

Benjamin

I'll have a look at it to see where the problem lies and get back at you as soon as possible. @Alex: Thanks for pointing out this issue.

I've an object called Slide with internal strings and numbers stored within. When I used your analyze function it simply just prints; [object Slide] Any ideas why? Logically it should work, the for each() doesn't seem to be doing its job. Cheers Hi there,
