Arrays and Functions can have other properties attached to it. But my .toString() method and ActionScript() function does not account for it. Now I’ve rewritten the code to include those other properties as well. Also now it takes care of the properties with undefined values. Take a look at the new ActionScript() function here.
[UPDATE] included the ActionScript 3 version as well 🙂 It became lot more simpler with the regular expressions
