toUpperCase (String.toUpperCase method)
toString (String.toString method)
public toString() : String
Returns an object's properties as strings regardless of whether the properties are strings.
Returns
String - The string.
Example
The following example outputs an uppercase string that lists all of an object's properties
(regardless of whether the properties are strings):
var employee:Object = new Object();
employee.name = "bob";
employee.salary = 60000;
employee.id = 284759021;
var employeeData:String = new String();
for (prop in employee)
{
employeeData += employee[prop].toString().toUpperCase() + " ";
}
trace(employeeData);
If the toString() method were not included in this code (and the line within the for loop
used employee[prop].toUpperCase()), the output would be "undefined undefined
BOB". By including the toString() method, the desired output is produced: "284759021
60000 BOB".
