Miscellaneous utility functions.
static cloneObject<T> (v:T):T

static getIntValueJSON (jsonString:String, key:String):Int
Useful JSON hack. Returns a numerical value from a JSON encoded string by unique key. This function works much faster than parsing whole JSON encoded string into an anonymous object.
Example usage:
var json = '{..., "myUniqueKey":20, ...}'; // proper JSON encoded string (abbreviated for brevity)
var val = Util.getValueJSON(json, "myUniqueKey"); // val = 20
var json = '{..., "test":{"myUniqueKey":30}, ... }'; // another JSON string (abbreviated for brevity)
var val = Util.getValueJSON(json, "myUniqueKey"); // val = 30Note: Remember that non-unique key will just return the first value found.
Parameters:
jsonString JSON encoded string.
key Key to get value of.
Returns:
Parameter value, or 0 if key not found.
