Hello! In my JS, I have an object called box_object. It looks like this:

({  id:"3",
    text:"this is a box object",
    connection_parent:["1", "2"],
    connection_child:["5", "6"],
    connectiondata_child:{
        0:{id:"5", linepoint:"bottom"},
        1:{id:"6", linepoint:"bottom"}},
    connectiondata_parent:{
        0:{id:"1", linepoint:"top"},
        1:{id:"2", linepoint:"top"}}
})

Now, I want to add some position values to box_object.connectiondata_parent. Using jQuery I can use the .each() method. So I tried it, but it failed. In my function I do the following:

$(box_object.connectiondata_parent).each(function(it, obj){
    if(typeof(obj[it]) != "undefined" && obj[it].linepoint == "top"){
        var point_position_top = new Object();
        point_position_top.left = startingpoint_left;
        point_position_top.top = startingpoint_top;
        obj[it].position = point_position_top;
    }else if(typeof(obj[it]) != "undefined" && obj[it].linepoint == "bottom"){
        var point_position_bottom = new Object();
        point_position_bottom.left = startingpoint_left;
        point_position_bottom.top = startingpoint_bottom;
        obj[it].position = point_position_bottom;
    }else{}
});

After the function my box_object looks like this:

({ id:"3",
   text:"this is third box",
   connection_parent:["1", "2"],
   connection_child:["5", "6"],
   connectiondata_child:{
      0:{id:"5", linepoint:"bottom"},
      1:{id:"6", linepoint:"bottom"}},
   connectiondata_parent:{
      0:{id:"1", linepoint:"top", position:{left:500, top:104}},
      1:{id:"2", linepoint:"top"}}
})

It seems it only writes the values to the first "value". Any Ideas why?
