[JS IDCS5] retrieve all scriptArgs

would this not do?

var allArgs = app.scriptArgs.getElements();

stoereee,

getElements() creates and returns an array.

And when you are at it part 1 is a recommended read as well.

When I use app.scriptArgs.getElements(), I get an array of all the passed names.

You do?

I can't seem to make .getElements() do anything useful at all:

>> app.scriptArgs.get("alpha")
beta
>> app.scriptArgs.get("gamma")
delta
>> app.scriptArgs.getElements().constructor
function Array() {
    [native code]
}
>> app.scriptArgs.getElements().length
1
>> app.scriptArgs.getElements()[0].constructor.name
ScriptArg
>> app.scriptArgs.getElements()[0].get("alpha")
beta

That is, I just get back a singleton scriptArg member in the array that's the same as the app.scriptArgs.

Is there a other way of iterating through all scriptArgs passed to a server script to get all values?

You say other as if there is a way at all -- which there does not seem to be.

Why are you using scriptArgs anyhow? Can't you use the native Javascript arguments?

In any case, you could try packing all your args into a single scriptArg. Or, you could have a scriptArg with a known value that was a list of all other scriptArgs...you do control both sides of this, right?

I don't know any AS3, but your code looks a bit odd:

params.scriptArgs = new Array();
params.scriptArgs.push({name:myName[i], value:myValue[i]});
ws.RunScript(params);

That's not inside a loop, so you are just sending one arg? So why not use

params.scriptArgs.push({name: "arg", value:(myName[i]+":"+myValue[i]));

and then in ExtendScript:

var arg, myName, myValue;
arg = app.scriptArgs.get("arg").split(":");
myName=arg[0];
myValue=arg[1];

Of course this uses a literal ":" as a seperator -- if that might appear in your name or value, you'd have a problem. If so there are a hundred ways to solve it, probably the easiest way is to use the .toSource() method [how does that work in AS3?]  to bundle it all together. Similarly if you're passing an array.
