Question

In php we have the method print_r().

Is there anything similar in as3 to print out an object/array?

I found this:

public function analyze(_obj):void {
    var item:Object;
    switch (typeof(_obj)){
        case "object":
            write("<object>");
            write(_obj.toString());
            for each (item in _obj){
                analyze(item);
            };
            write("</object>");
        break;
        case "xml":
            write("<xml>");
            write(_obj);
            write("</xml>");
        break;
        default:
            write(_obj + " (" + typeof(_obj) + ")");
        break;
    };
} // analyze()
public function write(_obj):void{
    trace(_obj);
} // END write()
