What happend to the Object Initializer "{}"?

[burtonrider1983]

I used to always use this to initialize a class with certain variables.
var test:myClass = new myClass("test", {_x:20, _y:20});

When I try to do this in AS3.0, it tells me that only 1 parameter was expected...or however many that constructor expects.
I was wondering, did they completely get rid of the object initializer? Is there a slightly different syntax to achieve the same functionality? Yes I know I could use getter/setters functions to change the properties, or I could add parameters to the constructor to substitute this, but I would like to know if the object initializer is removed. I know that you can use ... to signify that you are accepting zero or more parameters more, I will try and get it working this way in the meantime. I assume that this was the replacement for the makeshift way the object initializer used to.

the problem is not {}, its your class constructor that only accepts one parameter. If you want that object to come in, put it in the constructor parameter list.

Thanks senocular. Oh, and thanks for your tutorial on the Flex 2 command line compiler. You did a great job and I am sure a ton of people are learning a good amount from it.

I guess I was so used to attachMovie() that I forgot I was not using the constructor directly with this. Well I feel stupid... :rolleyes:

It happens ;)
