For Local b:Button = Eachin Self.buttons.Object()
		
Next

buttons is a StringMap. All I want to do is iterate through the values in the map. What am I doing wrong?

Bah...it's buttons.Values(). I wish this was in the docs... Or probably because I was trying to use Object instead.

Edit: Aw, I was ninja'd by you.

The Map class doesn't have an "Object()" method. Use the "Values()" method instead, e.g. "Self.buttons.Values()" instead.

Either that or Keys and grab each one. I don't usually use maps like you're trying to use them, so I'm not 100% sure of my answer.

For Local key:String = EachIn diddyGame.images.Keys()
	Local i:GameImage = diddyGame.images.Get(key)
Next

diddyGame.images is a StringMap which contains GameImages.

Faster...

For Local img:=EachIn diddyGame.images.Values()
Next

Fastest...

For Local it:=EachIn diddyGame.images
   Local str:=it.Key
   Local img:=it.Value
Next

I know it's a moot point but would this be even faster?

For Local it:=Eachin diddyGame.images
	it.Value.Update()
Next
