I have a question i need to get the length of an array but outside the onLoad()
here is my code:
var O:XML = new XML();O.ignoreWhite = true;O.onLoad = function(success) {
var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes; _root.PanelH = photos.length*200; trace(PanelH);};trace(PanelH);O.load("VideosBank.xml");
I have this code working which has an XML file. This is the code for XML menu(no drop down) for website , i am working on, but i wonder when i traced the value of both arr2 & arr1 it returns 0, although i pushed the value.[code]
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
I am trying to get the length of arrays within an array, here is my example (MX 2004):

I get an output of of 3. the number of variables within the first array, this is not what I had expedted.
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
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?
im trying to use array.length to get the total indexs of the array, before running a loop on all of thoes indexs when i attempt to do this(i added a few extra things for the sake of debugging and understanding)
ActionScript Code:
var selectcharacternames:URLVariables = new URLVariables(evt.target.data);
trace(selectcharacternames)[code]....
does array.length not work with url variables is it possible to turn url variables into a array(im assuming it is not a array as a reason why this doesnt work)

However I have an upcoming project that's going to have a big image gallery, that is likely to change often, so I can see XML would be very useful for speed of editing/adding etc.
I'm a complete XML noob then, and I'm just doing a little test with some text, and I can't seem to access the Array outside the xml.onLoad function.
Here is the xml...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<writing>
<para>
[Code]....
Now in the above code, my dynamic text field named "desc" correctly displays "bloody hell, XML is a nause".
However, when the line in bold is placed outside the onLoad function, it returns undefined, and when traced, the description array returns nothing at all.
I need to access the array outside of this function.
I have 2 arrays:
Array 1 = [1,3,5,7,9,10];
Array 2 = [5,7,10];
Now, I wanted to create a new Array the is the same as the length of Array 1. The output should look like this:
New Array = [0,0,5,7,0,10];
I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

i have an array containing the frame numbers and i would like to add an onload event so a random frame from this array would be played on load
View 7 Repliesthis problem is blowing my mind i have a for loop that i want to go through my entire array but it seems to not be counting the last element in the arraay!
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i<gridControl.game.blockG.length; i++){
trace(i +" "+gridControl.game.blockG.length);
}
and the last line of code it spits out is "83 84" meaning that there are 84 items in the array but it only ran through to 83...i dont understand why its doing this.
I need a way to read the length of my array, automatically create that many frames in the main.fla and read each screen from my array and display it accordingly on each frame. How to do this?
E.g.. In A.xml, I calculated 10 screens, so Ii need to create 10 frames for A.xml....and in my B.xml, I have 25 screens, there Iit should create 25 frames.
I've got some coding to create buttons into an array, and on press of these buttons the function should remove something from another array and remove the last one of the line, so far the coding is working for the first removal, however thereafter the other buttons stay there I think it's to do with the line in bold but I cant put my finger on what's wrong with it! The trace's I've set look plausible...
function removeList (event:MouseEvent):void{
myArray.splice(0,1);
list_text.text=myArray.join("");

I like to use array.length in my for loop to keep my code cleaner to read. Is there any huge downside to this? For example will it speed up things greatly if i store the length in a var one time?

How can I find out the length of the second dimension in a multidimensional array?
this is not working:
Code:
trace(my_array[i].length);
(i being a number incremented by a for-loop (starting at 0 of course))
How would I go about checking the length of a sub array? If I have a code like this:
ActionScript Code:
a = [["a0","a1", "a2", "a3","a4","a5"],
["a0","a1"]];
and I wanted to check the length of the second subarray (the answer would be 2) what would the syntax be?
Edit: the title should obviously be Multidimentional.
As we have in other languages like C, Java that once we define the length of an array we cannot assign any value to the array beyond it's length.[code]This kind of stuff is not possible in C and Java.However AS2.0 calmly accepts the value and increments the length of ii (array) from 3 to 5.Is there any means to restrict the array to accept only particular number of data.

Anything I do to customerCheck treats it as if it were a new array. This is especially obvious when using customerCheck.push in addCharToCheck() -- the trace always shows a blank array before push and an array with one object in it after the push... then next time it does the same. I know I'm making some sort of fundamental error regarding the scope of the array within the class but I just cannot find any good information on how to fix it! Moving to AS3 (been coding it for all of about 3 weeks) is a nightmare so far, and it seems to be the 'easy' stuff that causes me problems
I have an array which contains strings. I need to sort the array by the length of the string - longest string first.
e.g. if
myArray[0] = "xxx";
myArray[1] = "x";
myArray[2] = "xxxxxxx";
[Code].....
but it didn't work. I guess length is not a property of each array element.
By the way, the array is already large (270,000 elements) - so I need the sort to work very fast, and I don't want to be adding anything else into the array.
How do you find the length of an Associative Array? The standard "arrayName.length" returns 0.
View 2 RepliesHow do I set the width of the array and length and set each of the values in it to the same number. This is for a game I am working on. I know you use for loops to find the x and y of the values... This doesn't work, but think its how it suppose to work.
Code:
_global.ymap = 4;
_global.xmap = 4;

}} trace(_global.map[4][4]);
I am attaching mc's from the library using xml to populate the textfields. What I am wanting to do is show the first six mc's, then after say 10 seconds show the next six. With a text field displaying "1 of 3", after 10 seconds, "2 of 3" ....etc. A bit similar to image galleries really (sorry if I haven't explained this very well).Anyhoo, heres what I have so far, it loads the mc's one after each other:
