Object property lookup

Learn Object property lookup in ActionScript 3 with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.

10 min read • Intermediate

Object property lookup is an atomic ActionScript 3 topic inside Collections & XML. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.

Focus on what Object property lookup changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.

Topic-specific example

actionscript-04-04-object-property-lookup.as
actionscript Try It Live
var o:Object={sku:"A17"}; trace(o["sku"]);
Edge case / engineering note

Pay attention to the contract exposed by the type, which members belong to instances versus the type itself, and what dispatch occurs at runtime.
