Class UFObject

Copy the values of properties in aValues to properties of same name in anObject.

If a property of aValue is an object, the function will copy all the properties in that object.

If the value of a property of aValue is a function, the function will be called with two parameters: anObject, property name. The function is responsible for assigning a value to anObject.

Example: show error in TextInput

var errorProperties: Object = {
  textField: {
    borderColor: 0xFF0000,
    backgroundColor: 0xFFCCCC
  }
};
// backup current properties
var originalProperties: Object = UFObjectTools.backupProperties(SomeTextInput, errorProperties);
// show error state
UFObjectTools.applyProperties(SomeTextInput, errorProperties);
// restore original settings
UFObjectTools.applyProperties(SomeTextInput, originalProperties);
Copy

Create a copy of the map object, setting properties in it to values of properties in aSource.

aMap can contain properties with basic types or properties of type Object. In that case the object properties are scanned.

If aSource is an Array instance, a new Array instance is created else a new Object instance is used.

Example

make copy of some properties in TextInput
<listing>
var map = Object = {
  text: 'some text',
  textField: {
    borderColor: 0xFF0000,
    backgroundColor: 0xFFCCCC
  }
};
var data: Object = UFObject.backupProperties(SomeTextInput, map);
// data.text = text of SomeTextInput
// data.textField.borderColor = current border color of SomeTextInput
// data.textField.backgroundColor = current background color
</listing>
Copy

Combines multiple object instances.

The method will create a new object and copies all properties (including getters and setters) from each argument to the new object.

After processing all arguments, the method checks each argument again if it contains the initialize method specified by anInitMethod.

If aCallInit is true, the initialize method gets called using the newly created object as its function scope.

If aCallInit is false, a new initialize method is attached to the created object that will call all the other initialize methods with the correct function scope.

Checks if an object contains a certain key. It is possible to specify multiple values.

Copies a property/method from one object to another. If the property is a getter or setter, the method will redefine the property in the target object.

Copies the properties of an object. Recursively call this method for properties that are object values.

See if all properties in aMatch can be found in aSource and are equal. If a property is an object, the method will call itself recursively.

Only properties defined in aMatch are checked.

Gets a property from an object.

Gets a property from an object and typecast it to a type.

Gets a property from an object. If there is no property, create a new value and attach it to the object.

Gets a property or throws an error if the property is missing.

Throws

an error if the object does not contain the property

Gets a property as a certain type or throws an error if the property is missing.

Throws

an error if the object does not contain the property

Checks if an object is an instance of a class. If anObject is not an object, the method will return false.

The method will also return false if instanceOf fails with an exception.

Sets a property in an object to a value. If the property can not be found, the method does nothing.

Sets a property in an object to a value. If the property can not be found, the method throws an error.
