ActionScript 1/2 :: Generate Array Whose Elements Are Each Arrays To Make Quick Loading Database Of Sorts
Jul 7, 2009
I'm trying to figure out how to generate an array whose elements are each arrays to make a quick loading database of sorts.the main array could essentially be something like "employees" while each employee would have demographic data like age, salary, gender, etc.In some cases the information on some employees would be greater than others, and options created by "push" would imply the number of elements within each employee array would be variable until generated.[code]But I get the feeling this type of array as it is currently described doesn't lend itself well to adding new elements in the way I've described.My goal is once an employee's information has been entered and saved, I can call up their info by array number like aEmployee[2], and if employee 2's name is Bob, then Bob's name would appear in the text field, along with all the other fields related to Bob's array, such as being male, 42 years old, and living in Witchita Kansas.Would I modify a multidimensional array, or do I want an array within an array, and is there a way to add "arrays" as elements?
I have this array that contains the names of various images I want to load into Flash
var imageArray:Array=["image1","image2","image3","image4","image5","image 6","image7","image8","image9","image10"];
Now I want to create 10 different buttons with each button loading in an image. I know there's a way to do this with a for loop without having to make 10 different buttons and writing 10 different functions. Not sure how to correlate the members imageArray with the generated btns.
Just a question about a page im building.. it may not be the optimal method of doing it (and im open to other suggestions) but still would like an answer to if the below is possible... Every time I switch pages, the 'new elements specific to that page' are created with AS3, placed on the page, animated etc etc. On frame one I have attached to each button a 'check' for the destination when the button is clicked and based on where the user currently is, all elements from that section are removed from the stage.
My question... I am removing each element individually by its name.. and some sections are quite large and i plan to modify heavily continuously. Can I add them to an (invisible) container of sorts in each of their respective sections and then remove via some kind of '.childrenOf' method ?? eg. when user is in the 'about' section of the site and clicks to go 'home', all elements in 'about container' are removed via 'for all childrenOf about_container ?
I am trying to load an array of web_thumbs into an array of thumb "holders" I've got the holders loading in a grid but then the way I have it, all of the web_thumbs load into each of the holders instead of one web_thumb per holder - I've tried it every which way and this is as close as I can get it without help... Can someone tell me what i need to do to have one web_thumb load into each thumb holder? This is what i have in place:
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); dataLoader.load(new URLRequest("web_thumbs.xml")); dataLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoaded);[code]..........
I have the following problem. I wanna load 3 pictures to the stage using LoaderMax. Their path is stored in an array (urls), and finally I wanna have all their displayList objects in a new array called pictures.here's my code:
var urls:Array = new Array("../data/bild1.jpg","../data/bild2.jpg", "../data/bild3.jpg"); for(var i:Number = 0; i< urls.length; i++){ var loadery = new ImageLoader(urls[i]);
I try to use the following code to add elements in a screen . I try to bound the elements within the screen's dimensions but I can't because either the screen size reduces or they are out of bounds. How can I generate the elements within the screen without affection on the screen's size?
var screen:Mask = new Mask(); screen.y = 107; screen.x = 76;
[Code]....
it doesn't make sense to me why the height changes and the width remains the same.
I am encountering a strange problem. I am trying to generate a matrix with value of elements either 1 or 0 (filled randomly). I am storing the values into a 2D array. This is code on the first frame. Everything seems to be working fine.
I'm sure this must have come up before but how do you generate nested arrays in as3? In AS2 I believe you could simply write arrayX[a][b][c] = d; but in AS3 you need to declare each nested array e.g.
[Code]....
This doesn't throw any errors but when used in a function, any subsequent values overwrite the existing arrays. e.g. with differing values of a,b,c and d the trace of arrayX[a][b][c].length will always be the value of the last run of the function.
Ok, the WD who designed my site put a flash header at the top w/ my testimonials. Now I have another WD fixing stuff on my DW template & there seems to be a problem for me in Fire Fox. Whenever I go onto certain pages, the flash catches & doesn't load smoothly with the rest of the page or some times not at all. See page... [URL] (or any page in that test folder)
I'm about to launch the site & he says there is nothing wrong, but this didn't happen b4 & the last thing I want is for my beautiful site to show white space at the top LOL He had deleted the flash cards (is that what they are called?) saying the testimonials are in the flash file, but I still have them on my HD just in case. Can someone tell me what the problem is & how to fix it. This is my first time using flash & I want it to be a positive experience for all.
Here's my problem in a nutshell. I have a database (mysql), then i get data from an external php file that connects to the database. I use URLReqest and URLLoader to access the php file.
My question is, when i change data in my database, the change reflects in the php file. But when i access the php file from Flash, it doesn't refresh. I have to make a new php file, then access this new file to get the updated data.

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array(); var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array(); slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
i want to intertwine php, MySql and flash. so i can make a flash movie display text that is in the sql database and a php script to change the database, php > sql = i can do but sql > flash = i can't do..i want it so the sql data show's in a text box in the flash movie...
I list all question areas in an array. I now want to loop through the array and see if any area element is represented more than once. And if so, how many times.This is the array of question areas that I have[code]...
I'm trying to find the way to draw random elements from different arrays. I have three dynamic boxes (box1, box2, box3) and a button (bt_2). I have three arrays:
positiveNumbers:Array, negativeNumbers:Array, and fractionNumbers:Array.
I have managed to draw a random element from each array and display it on each box.
PROBLEM: When button (bt_2) is clicked, I would like each box to draw a random element from any array. However, arrays positiveNumbers and negativeNumbers are int, while fractionNumbers is Number. If I use Math.round all elements from fractionNumbers will be positiveNumbers.How to handle this?Here is my code:
// setting the arrays// var wholeNumbers:Array = new Array (50); var negativeNumbers:Array = new Array[code]....
I am currently making a quiz game and have an XML file which stores all the questions/answers.I then load the xml, and put all of the info into multiple arrays.
ActionScript Code: var x = new XML(); x.ignoreWhite = true; x.load ("Stating The Obvious 2.xml")
[code]....
So, how would I edit the code to make the questions appear in a random order? i.e. Make the currentQuestionNumber be random while not repeating itself.Also, is it possible to make the answers appear in a random order on the screen? For example, instead of the "answer1array" element always appearing at the top and the "answer4array" element appearing at the bottom, is there a way to mix things up a bit?
I've been trying to move array elements from one array to another using the push method. The problem is that the element pushed should any longer be on the first array where it was taken from. That's where i'm stuck..
If I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array { public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo { return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example) } }
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I have an array that I want to check with a "setInterval"-triggered function.Is there a way to do something like an "IF"-check on all entries / fields of an array? The array contains the feedback from another function, so each field can only be "true" or "false".
What I want is something like this: IF (all values from array X == true) { // [stuff] }
Only way I can think of is to set a dummy variable to "true", do a for-loop through the array and check for "false" and if any of the entries is "false", the dummy will be set to "false", too- otherwise it will remain "true"...
what's a simple way to combine arrays with as3? by combine, i mean that contents of one array are pushed into another array.I already tried a for loop and push.
i have two arrays of DesplayObjects and i want to add all the objects in the second array to the end of the first array, i knew that i just can just do a loop and puch em into the array, but i wondered if there was a simple function for doing this?
