for .. in loop, can it give more details?

[25884]

Hello,
I have a query,
I am using the for..in loop to list down the elements in any component.
Is there a way to list down the whole signature of these elements in the component?
I basically need a way to segregate the listing provided by the for..in loop into movie clip, method.. etc
Rgds,
Sonali.

what do you mean "the whole signature" ? Diana.

an example of what you can do with

 for ... in

suppose you have a movieclip called table and inside it you have many buttons. the actions you want each button to do on

rollOver, rollOut, relase

and any other event you can put in a single frame, instead of putting them on any button.

suppose again that some of my buttons are called

bn1, .. bn15.

and you only want those buttons to do that action:

for (name in _root.table) {
	if (typeof (_root.table[name]) == "object") {
		cntr++;
		if (name.charAt(1) == "n") {
			_root.table[name].onRollOver = function() {
				_root.action1(this._name.substring(2, this._name.length));
			};
			_root.table[name].onRollOut = function() {
				_root.action2(this._name.substring(2, this._name.length));
			};

this._name.substring(2, this._name.length));

[/red] will only take the numbers at the end of the name.

This was just an example so you'll see how i refer to the names of the buttons inside the movieclip.

Hope it helps. Diana.

might be better to get at the buttons through the label property

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.It helped me a lot.What i mean by the whole signature is--If i have a method called addItemAt(index,value) - Which takes in a number for index , a string as value to be added ,then is there a way to get something like - getItemAt - Is a function - Takes a number as parameter1 and a string as parameter2.Or just that it takes in two parameters.
Hope i was clear enuf.
thnx,
Sonali.
