I have a test here which is for a more complex interaction, but the principle is the same. What I would like to know is how to make the code more efficient, possibly through array loops?
View 5 RepliesI have this switch and I know there must be an easier way to accomplish this. For example if the user selects something it sets that button to a certain frame in this case nSelected, and sets all other buttons to a frame labeled nDefault.[code]...
View 4 Replieshow can you access elements in a 3D array using for loops?
View 4 RepliesI was generating a four-dimensional array using for loops, but I kept getting undefined when reading from the variable. Just to test the thing, I created a new Flash file and typed this into the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
test = new Array();
test[0][0] = 24;
trace(test[0][0]);
When I ran the SWF, the trace window displayed undefined. The same happened when I replaced the 0's with other numbers. Is there something wrong with the way that I am defining the array?
I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.
I have this xml document thats created via php that looks like this. (Note: sample of the xml not full.)

This is created from a database and the xml is the a combination of the two data tables. Now I have created a class file which can read this xml data or any xml doc in that format of childNodes and what not and return the results as an array. Is it better to work straight from the xml object or from the array. And is there a better way of doing this so its a lean mean array creating machine?
I have an animation that has roll overs controlled by AS (see code below). It works the way I have the code, but it's really messy code. And I hate that I'm have the functions rewritten for each event.How can I simplify this code?

var gearsEnabled:Boolean = true;
var gears2Enabled:Boolean = true;

how can i simplify this code:
PHP Code:

I think, for loop can be used but i don't know how
im a complete noob. how would i get this code into a simple 'for loop' to add 3 sprites named heart1, heart 2 and heart3. basically to simplify this mess
ActionScript Code:
var heart1:Sprite = new Sprite();
with (heart1.graphics) {
beginFill(0xFF0000);
drawRect(0,0,20,10);

Been reading up on the flash transition object. I came up with this way of fading out one clip and fading in another and having them loop forever using the transition objects but it's very dirty coding and not very flexible.
Is there a way to clean it up so that I can add as many clips as I want without having to write more code, just by adding more movie clips to the stage?

I have this code that's repeating for 40 different instance names that play 40 different movieclip names.

Last week I made a class to simplify rollOver and rollOut event of a button based on MovieClip with ENTER_FRAME event. It works well but I'm not quite sure this is the best class, since I'm new in AS3 Classes. Now, if you don't mind to take a glimpse of my class.
Here is the class

Are there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-
Shouldn't flash detect these before running the script and crashing and having to force quit and restart (and flash startup takes a while)? Like just give an error: infinite for loop or something? And this happened to me a bunch when working with for loops within for loops, when I accidentally used the same variable for both loops, so of course it never ended and crashed flash.
View 2 RepliesThe scenario is to create a lotto game that matches 6 user inputted numbers with 7 randomly generated numbers. The 7th number is a special case (eg bonus ball) WOULD LIKE TO SHOW A KIND HEARTED FALSH GENIUS ALL OF THE SCRIPT IF POSS! (its not tooo long) This code works, but it just outputs the default message: There seems to be a problem with my arrays not comparing? Part of the code is: (prioir to this the user inputs numbers, they are copied to text areas beginning with O, on a button press) On a second button press randomly generated number appear to a timer. //compareResult checks how many numbers match between the two sets of numbers to determine winnings.

I'm pulling data from an xml doc and created 4 XMLLists to hold the children of the 4 different elements. Inside the onLoad function, I created a series of for loops to go through each list. But Flash stops after going through the first two. I'm very puzzled by this. I got around it by creating a 2nd onLoad function for the last 2 lists, but should I be using a different loop? Curious.. I inserted a break after the first 2 and then the 3rd loaded up...

I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller!)

I want to attach a MC dynamically so that I have 12 rows and 12 columns of _mc box on the main stage:[code]I think it can be done only with a nested loop but so far, well, my head's in a loop!

What have I done wrong? I'm trying to give each mc it's own number based on the name position in the array etc etc - It returns 18 for all of them when I click them one at a time.
Why nested loops must be used. I have this code that I took from the Training from the source book:
v = 0;
i = -1;
while(++i < 2){
j = -1;
while(++j < 2){
[Code] .....
What I don't understand is why I have to have this to create two columns couldn't I just change the while (++i < 2){ to
while(++i < 4){ instead.
