This assignmentis returning undefined:
var str=activeCarton.toString.substr(0,2);
where activeCarton is a variable referencing an array of movie clips. Does activeCarton contain the name of the mc or the index. How can I get the mc name string?
So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

Ive copied some code for an xml image viewer that contains a thumbnail scrollbar which loads an enlarged image on click. I want to change the code to go to the next image when I click on the big image. I cant seem to figure out how to find the current index number and add 1 to go to the next one in the onClickBack function.

myXML = XML(event.target.data);

Is there a way to get the index of an array?
For instance, if I have an array:
buttons = Array("abc","def","ghi");
If I wanted to get the index dynamically of the string "ghi", could I do that with a certain function or piece of code?
I want to get tab Index with it's id. My tabs are in a tabNavigator.
this.tabid.instanceIndex returns -1
this.tabid.tabIndex returns -1
Do I have enable order or any property in tab Navigator to get the index of a tab?
I've set the tabIndex for three input boxes in a flash form. When tabbing through the boxes I get a green highlight. Is there a way to change the color or eliminate the highlight all together?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?
I have a flash drop down menu that overlaps a separate flash piece in an HTML page. The example of what I am talking about can be found here: [URL]
When you hover over product types, you'll notice that the drop down falls under the 'water banner'. I have set the z-index of that specific banner to be lower than the flash header but it still did not work. When I change the 'water banner' to a static image instead of a flash file, the menu overlaps without a problem.
This is the style that I have applied to the navigation bar
#flash_piece {
z-index: 1;
position:relative;
top:0px;
}
I thought that there was a way to be able to name array indexes. Like instead of myArray[0], it could be myArray["tileFour"]. I thought that instead of using index numbers one could use index words.
View 1 RepliesI'm just fooling around making an inventory system and I was wondering if there is a way to work out the next available index in an array without pushing the item into the array.So for instance

I have used flash for several sites. I am using CS5. I'am use to publishing Flash files to the server, naming the HTML file as index, I also name my SWF file as index. But When I go to the web and look at my site, the tab syas index. I tried changing the SWF file to the name of the site, but this does not work. I also tried and renamed both files and indexnameofsite.HTML, but this also does not work. I tried looking at the script file (open it in notepad) but its mumbo jumbo to me.
View 5 RepliesI created some classic text boxes and assign to each of them a tab index using the syntax: "fNameInput.tabIndex = 0; fNameInput.tabIndex = 1; fNameInput.tabIndex = 2;" etc.
afterwards, I decided to turn them into TLF boxes but after I did so, the tab index feature stopped to work.
What's wrong in my code and what should I do in order to turn on the tab index attribute?

I have a game map made of tiles, each tile is stored in an array called _tiles.The very each tile has a "plantable" parameter, which determines whether or not something can be placed on it.Then i loop through the array and check the position of each its elements against the mosue cursor, so I know which tile am I hovering with my mouse.
And it works pretty good. The problem is that even though I know what is the position of the tile I'm having the cursor on, I still lack the knowledge of what index is that tile. I simply can't tell where exactly in the array is placed this tile. I just know its position. The reason why I want to know the index of it, is because it's the only way for me to set a proper flag, namely whether it's plantable or not. Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
for(var j:int = 0; j < _tiles.length; j++)

I made a flash website in AS3. Normally, when an user enters a webaddress, the index.html is opened. Now I want to open the index.swf file INSTEAD of the index.html. I DONT want to create a html document that includes the swf file, I just want the swf file to play on its own. A long time ago I red an article about creating an index.php file, with a little piece of code that does this for me, but I cannot find this code anymore. Someone knows what to do?

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined.I use a for-each loop to access all the elements of the array that is not undefined (since it simply skips the undefined elements).But I also want the index of that particular element.The only option I can see is to use indexOf(). But it feels a bit like looking for water on the other side of the river so to speak.
When looping through long arrays each frame, is there a change indexOf() might slow it down? or does the for-each loop somehow know what index it's dealing with?
I am using a swf file as the back drop for a page and it works on Firefox and Safari but not in Netscape, Opera, and IE. I have chased the issue to the actual flash element and how it is programmed to play differently by the AC_RunActive javascript file. code, written to allow for a change of the z-index position. Also, the problem with Netscape is that the entire animation is not being shown. I have the html for linking flash in a div tag and it doesn't seem to want to see it. I may have two seperate issues with the same code or they may be linked.
