Method Detail
addValue | () | method |
public function addValue(key:String, value:Object):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | OSMF 1.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Stores the specified value in this Metadata object, using the specified key. The key can subsequently be used to retrieve the value. If the key is equal to the key of another object already in the Metadata object this will overwrite the association with the new value.
Parameters
key:String — The key to associate the value with.
| |
value:Object — The value to add to the Metadata object.
|
Throws
ArgumentError — If key is null or somehow invalid.
|
getValue | () | method |
public function getValue(key:String):*| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | OSMF 1.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Returns the value associate with the specified key. Returns 'undefined' if the Metadata object fails to resolve the key.
Parameters
key:String |
* |
Throws
ArgumentError — If key is null.
|
removeValue | () | method |
public function removeValue(key:String):*| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | OSMF 1.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Removes the value associated with the specified key from this Metadata object. Returns undefined if there is no value associated with the key in this Metadata object.
Parameters
key:String — The key associated with the value to be removed.
|
* |
Throws
ArgumentError — If key is null.
