Alternate for Associative Array Object

[kungsangun]

I've written an application for the company I work for and would like to "tablet-ize" it and export it to Android or iOS. I've used the associative array object to reference data elements by NAME extensively in the app. IS there ANY alternate object currently that would allow me to do the same?

Maybe you could hire the developer to make a port? Or, if Clickteam has the source, you could hire someone else.

I also use the AssArray and really enjoy its features (except that it can't handle floats).

The original developer has long since left the Click community. This makes me wonder with the eventual release of MMF3 how many of my favorite objects will not make the transition. Just like it was when MMF2 came along and did not support the legacy objects. Being able to access data element of an array by name is just so powerful I was hoping someone had come up with an alternative.

Well, so far Matt has hung in with us by making the Associative Array for MMF1.5 and MMF2.0. Maybe just one more for MMF3.0.

Oh yes, I would so much need that feature too. And cross-platform moreover.

The List Object (which is cross-platform) can act as a simple associative array, associating 1 string to 1 value. The line holds the string, and the line data holds the value (integer only). Then you can use the "Find String" or "Find String Exact" expressions of the List Object to retrieve/reference a particular line from the list.
