Flash trace,dump,print Array variables

Question

is there a way to trace an ARRAY in FLASH.

I want to have an output similar to PHPs command:print_r(myArray)

for ex: (in flash):

var event:Array = new Array();
event['name']='david';
trace(event);  // that display anything

while print_r(event) in PHP would display as string:

Array {
['name'] => david,
}

I want to achieve same kind of result in flash.

Answer 1

trace(array.join()); would work for numerically indexed arrays. For associative arrays, you have to use for..in construct.

for(var t:Object in array)
  trace(t + " : " + array[t]);

Answer 2

function obj_size (o:Object){
    var n=0;
    for (var x in o)
     n++;
    return n;
}

DOES WORK ;)

SO I SOLVED sizeof() evivalend to Array.sizeof();

How ABOUT array.push() for Objects ??
