Property Detail

elementType

property

elementType:String

Identifies the type of data stored within the object.

If elementType is set to null, an empty string ("") will be used.

The default value is the empty string ("").

Implementation
public function get elementType():String
public function set elementType(value:String):void

Constructor Detail

ChildElement

()

Constructor

public function ChildElement(newName:String = null, elementType:String = null)

Creates a new instance of the ChildElement class.

If newName is null, "properties" will be used for the name property. If elementType is null, an empty string ("") will be used for the elementType property.

Parameters

	`newName:String` (default = `null`) — A String specifying the name of the object.

	`elementType:String` (default = `null`) — A String specifying the type of the object.

Method Detail

clone

()

method

override public function clone():*

Returns a copy of the object.

Objects that have a type-specific set[type]/get[type] method pair defined in this class (for example, AssetData objects) are copied by invoking their clone method before they are stored in the clone.

Other property values are assigned to the clone using the equals operator (=). Depending on the object type, it may be either a copy of, or a reference to, the original object. Use caution when working with objects stored using setValue.

Returns

* — A copy of the object.
