Question

in flash/actionscript you can provide flashvars to the movie.

in actionscript you can access them like this:

var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

then i can check a parameter like this:

if (paramObj["somekey"] == someValue)
{
}

now i want to make this check case-insensitive. so that it matches SomeKey or soMekEY, etc.

what is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

I faced this problem a few years ago when I was working with ColdFusion and Flash, because ColdFusion is case insensitive whereas AS3 is not.

So here’s what I did to get around that problem.

public class ObjectUtil {

    public static function getParameter(obj:Object, name:String):Object {
        if(obj==null || name="" || name=="undefined") {
            return null;
        }

        for (var key:String in obj) {
            if(key.toLowerCase() == name.toLowerCase()) {
                return obj[key]
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

}
