Accessing a class like array

[coln]

So I was just messing around in flash and was wondering if there was a way to access any class properties with array notation.

Say I have class Test:

public class Test {
   public static var one:int = 1;
   public static var two:int = 2;
   public static var three:int = 3;
   
   public function Test() {
   }
}

I could access those values like Test.one, however I was wondering if there was a way to access them like Test[0], where Test[0] would output "1."

Why don't you push the variables into an array inside of your Test class and access them that way?

That is an option, definitely, but I was just curious if my above question was possible. I don't think I would ever need to use it, haha.

I've just given it a go by creating a class that extends Array. Of course you get all the methods such as push and pop, but you can't access values via square brackets as easily, as far as I can tell. Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge can give you a better answer.

Some reading that you might be interested in: Extending the Array Class and Data Access with array and proxy extending.

Very interesting indeed. Thanks for the reply!
