    public function set attributes(value:IList):void

cube

property 
cube:IOLAPCube

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The cube to which this dimension belongs.

defaultMember

property 
defaultMember:IOLAPMember  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The default member of this dimension.



Implementation
    public function get defaultMember():IOLAPMember

elements

property 
elements:Array  [write-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Processes the input Array and initializes the attributes and hierarchies properties based on the elements of the Array. Attributes are represented in the Array by instances of the OLAPAttribute class, and hierarchies are represented by instances of the OLAPHierarchy class.

Use this property to define the attributes and hierarchies of a cube in a single Array.



Implementation

Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

All the hierarchies for this dimension, as a list of IOLAPHierarchy instances.



Implementation
    public function get hierarchies():IList
    public function set hierarchies(value:IList):void

isMeasure

property 
isMeasure:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Contains true if this is the measures dimension, which holds all the measure members.



Implementation
    public function get isMeasure():Boolean

members

property 
members:IList  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns all the members of this dimension, as a list of IOLAPMember instances. The returned list might represent remote data and therefore can throw an ItemPendingError.
