ActionScript 1/2 :: Remove Duplicate Objects In Array?
Jul 9, 2009
This doesn't work at all.[code]...
but adding "removeDuplicates(aPeople);" after "createfile(thename);" has no effect: in other words, when I push the savefile button, it keeps creating clones of the same objects. What can I do?

I'm trying to use a for loop to remove duplicate array values. I've tried pop, shift, and splice.

I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array. Is there any solution so that I could delete the duplicate entry in an Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);

I have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:
groceries = ["bananas", "apples", "apples", "oranges"];
I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?

I am planning to create Dynamic Boxes, in which may contain buttons, pictures and textboxes in the box. but I'd really want to know are
When a duplicated Movieclip was clicked, I want it to return a value so which I can know what Movieclip was clicked.
How do I manage them in one duplicated movieclip? for example, A duplicated box, and then in that box is an image, textbox and a button MOVIECLIPS, so when dragged, they can be dragged also.

I'm trying to remove all objects from an array, and then emptying the array using splice. I'm restarting the game, removing all objects etc so that I can add them again. But what happens is that no object (enemies, blocks, bullets etc) is really removed. It's not visible anymore, but it's still on the stage wreaking havoc (hit detection still working, so enemies are avoiding enemies that were supposed to be removed, bullets hitting them and so on). And then when I restart the game a couple of times I have way too many objects and the game starts to lag. Code below: This is the code for the enemy, I have different loops for the other objects, but they all look the same:
Code:
for(var a=0; a<enemy1.length; a++) //loop through enemy1 {
if(enemy1[a].dead == true) //check if dead {
removeChild(enemy1[a]); //remove from stage
enemy1.splice(a,1); //remove element from array
}}
So to reiterate, I need to remove the objects from the stage, and clear/empty the array.

I have an array containing objects, where each object contains a boolean. I was wondering how I can remove only the objects where the boolean is set to true.I've tried doing it like this:
for(var k:int = 0; k < ballContainer.length; k++){
if(ballContainer[k].isCheck == true){
removeChild(ballContainer[k]);[code]....
But it doesn't seem to work that well. (Reason for it not working may very well be another reason, but I thought I'd check here anyway since I'm an AS3 novice)

How on earth do I use the onMouseDown event to remove objects generated by an array?
I'm still programming (if my bumbling can be called that ) the game I discussed in the 'Random Object Generation' thread and I'm using the basic framework of the array function that h88 gave me. Everything is working fabulously, but getting the things to disappear onMouseDown is a problem - it doesn't work.
Oh, and if I reference Target.prototype.onMouseDown and tell it it to this.unloadMovie, it unloads every single target on the screen instead of the one your mouse is actually over, making for a fairly... lame... game. I'm pretty sure it's because every single clip generated by the array is a Target prototype instance and so when the MouseDown occurrs, it unloads every Target movieClip. And I am using a hitTest in the Target.prototype.onMouseDown command, so that doesn't solve anything...

Is there a way to generically remove an object from an array? (maybe not using array.filter or creating a new array)
Example:
var arr:Array= new Array();
//create dummy objs
for (var i:uint=0; i < 10; i++){
var someObject:SomeClassObject = new SomeClassObject();

ive come across this method 'as' and I dont get it.I am following a tut, and i have an array with my objects stored in it(for reference to control these sprites).They are instantiations of my sprite class 'Ball.as'
Code:
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
var myMCs:Ball = myMCs[i] as Ball;
}
when I remove it - flash doesnt seem to mind its absence.

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:
[Code]...
Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.

I have a script that creates arrays based on certain events. These are all stored in one main array like so: mainArray = [[3,6,5,1],[4,5,6],[5,3,5],[4,5,6]]; As you can see, sometimes I end up with duplicate arrays within the mainArray. How can I check if any duplicate arrays exist and remove them from mainArray?

duplicate the dynamic objects and have a little problem. It looks like this: Flash retrieves data from sql, PHP returns the result to me in the form: $name1=some text $name2=some text $name3=some text $count=3 Flash creates elements very nicely but I do not have no idea what type of code place in script (in the place marked by ?)to put text to those MC.
Script look like this:
ile = parseInt(count);
for (i=1; i<ile; i++) {
threadCanvas.attachMovie("border", "post" add i, i);

Is there a way to duplicate objects, like lines across the screen quickly without using AS3 at a fixed distance apart? I tried using Ctrl+D but it has a distance for 7 pxl apart. I want to change that to 1 pixel. Is there a way to change this setting or a tool in flash IDE to perform duplicating quickly?

I'm supposed to create something like this:1. Create 4 coat of arms (Shields2. Pour colour onto different segments of the shields3. Click and drag objects onto the shield4. PrintMy problems lies in step 3. How do I actually create multiple copies of the same object that I clicked and dragged? At the same time, I also want the original copy to stay in position so I will only need to click and drag on the original copy to create the duplicates.I got the code from the net (I'm no pro in this). What I did was, convert the object into a button, then into a movie clip. Double-clicked the movie clip, I inserted the following code on the movie clip:
on(press) {
duplicate(this)
}

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?

I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]

I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?

I have an array containing single alphabet in every index and some of them in the array are duplicates. I'm trying to pick an alphabet and if there is an alphabet in that array, I want it remove from the array.
so lets say if i have 3 "a" in the array, I want all 3 to be remove. But my function only remove one alphabet. How do i make it remove all 3?
Also another question is, if i reach the end of the array how to i remove it? if i use splice it doesnt seem that it will remove the last item in the array.
my code is very simple
for (var i:int = 0; i<alphabetArrayLength; i++) {
if (singleAlphabet_arr[i] == alphabetPicked) {
answer = singleAlphabet_arr.splice(i,1);
}
}

I'm having one of those brain cramp days..I'm trying to add a number of items (sprites) from an array to the stage. There are 5 items in the array, and I want to randomly pick one of them, add it to the stage, and do this 100 times.My end result only has 5 items. I can see why, because when I try to add the same item again, it replaces the previous placed item. I can't think of how to duplicate the item in the array to add as a new Sprite
ActionScript Code:
private var sizes:Array = new Array(15,10,5,20,30);
private var squares:Array = new Array(); // becomes populated with square sprites the sizes
