    <p>I'm building a little tool that lets user to place some geometric figures on screen and then move them around and change their properties. I'm quite new to as3/flex.</p> <p>Figures are represented as objects in as3. So we've got Circle, Triangle, Rectangle classes with different properties.</p> <p>What I like to do is to display some kind of "object inspector" when user selects a figure. This inspector window would resemble similar thing found in many IDEs.</p> <p>Now the question is: Is it possible to take advantage from as3 [Inspectable] tag to obtain list of properties and enable changing them at runtime?</p> <p>If it's not possible then how would you approach this problem without writing type specific code to edit each object?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>Just to clarify. Consider this example:</p> <pre><code>public class Shape { /* ... */ } public class Triangle extends Shape { public var a:Number; public var h:Number; //... } public class Circle extends Shape { public var r:Number; public var name:String; //... } </code></pre> <p>I want to give the user an ability to edit <code>a</code>, <code>h</code> from <code>Triangle</code> and <code>r</code>, <code>name</code> from <code>Circle</code>.</p> <p>From what I imagine now, I could follow two paths:</p> <ol> <li><p>Make <code>Triangle</code> and <code>Circle</code> implement <code>IMyInspectable</code> and write custom <code>getProperties():Dictionary</code>, <code>getProperty(name:String):Object</code> and <code>setProperty(name:String, value:Object):void</code> methods for each type. This would involve utterly unelegant switch-spaghetti.</p></li> <li><p>I forgot when I was typing the solution number one. :(</p></li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
