Laurence, by implementing the other Proxy methods that allow one to iterate over an object (for-i-in) you can allow that to happen. However, if you are using Flex, ObjectProxy is already there for you. Just use ObjectProxy for your dynamic bindable value objects.

Well, this is kind of what I need. A dynamically-created object. Except what I really need is a dynamically-created Value Object that I can pass back-and-forth between my Flex app and the ColdFusion9 back-end. I just can’t wrap my head around how to do that, though. Can you tell me how to adapt your bindable dynamic object into a bindable dynamic value object that will work with CF9? Is that even possible?

Ah, this is just what I needed – thanks.

I’ve tweaked it a bit, though, to make it “behave” like a normal object: added a toString method (otherwise you get an unhelpful “The Proxy class does not implement callProperty…” error) and inherited from IUID so it will play well with List UI Components.

Take a look at the code here: http://wolever.net/~wolever/BindableObject.as

Also, would you mind formally releasing this code either into the public domain or a liberal MIT-esque license, to alleviate any possible concern with using it?

Thanks!

Thanks for this script.
But if you working with boolean and it’s “false” you get the name of your property.
I just modify getProperty function to not return name.
use
return strings[name];
instead of
return strings[name] || name;

[...] normal value object, but you make it dynamic and you will need to extend Proxy to make it bindable. See this solution here. (I’ve also read this solution in the Flex 3 [...]

Thanks Rob for the catch, it should be:

date.getDay() % 10 == 3 && date.getDay() != 13

Fixed.

Sorry got that wrong too:

It should be

date.getDay() % 10 == 13 && date.getDay() != 3

rather than

date.getDay() % 10 == 13 && date.getDay() != 1

The 3 to 1
