Thanks, needed help printing the contents of my Object (associative array) and this did the trick. And, the other blog where this appeared still does not load, so thanks for the “re-post”

This is not true for all object. For instance the NetStream info object cannot be traversed in this way. Instead you would need to use describeType();

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.utils.describeType;

public class DescribeTypeExample extends Sprite
{
public function DescribeTypeExample()
{
var child:Sprite = new Sprite();
var description:XML = describeType(child);
trace(description..accessor.@name.toXMLString());
}
}
}

As described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/utils/package.html#describeType()
