for..in loop Question

[tnel]

Say I had an array that contained several associative arrays. Each associative array has 10 properties, of which 8 are objects, 1 is a string, and 1 is an integer. I would like to go through each associative array and access only the 8 objects. I have code like the following:

for(var i:int = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
      for(var part:Object in array[i])
      {
            trace(part);
      }
}

I was expecting this to go through my associative arrays and only for those properties that are objects would it print the name of the property as a trace statement. However, all properties print out. How can I limit my results to only the properties that are objects?

Thank you.

var array:Array = ["string",1,2,{a:3,b:4},{a:5,b:6},{a:7,b:8}];

for each (var a in array)
{
    if ( !(a is String || a is int) )
    {
        trace(a);
    }
}

Thank you for the reply but that didn't work. I got the following error:

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property wip not found on Number and there is no default value.

You probably have a Number (such as .5) in the array. The code is only excluding integers and Strings. just replace int with Number within the if statement. Stuff like this is often trial and error.

var array:Array = ["string",1, .5, {a:3,b:4},{a:5,b:6},{a:7,b:8}];

for each (var obj in array)
{
    if ( !(obj is String || obj is int || obj is Number) )
    {
        trace(obj.a, obj.b)
    }
}

BTW, if you run the code I posted in a new fla. it will work.

this is a very generalized object printing loop. changing the code a little bit you can get it to work the way you want

function print_a(obj: Object, indent: String , isError:Boolean){
    if (indent == null) indent = "";
    var out = "";
    for ( var item in obj ) {
        if (obj[item] is Object && obj[item]== null ){
            out += (isError?"[ERROR]":"") + indent+"[" + item + "] => Object  " + " \n";
        }else{
            out += indent+"[" + item + "] => " + obj[item]+"\n";
        }
        out += print_a( obj[item], indent+"   " ,isError);
    }
    return out;
}
