ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Dynamically Named Array Data?
Nov 16, 2010
I'm trying to get data out of an array. Problem is the array I'm trying to access is different depending on where I'm currently at.
I can get data from a dynamically named variable, like so:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link"]
but now that I want to access one field in an array, instead of a single variable, I don't know the syntax to get at it? Waa. I tried:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link[" + Linki + "]"]
but it didn't like me.

I posted something about this a couple days ago but maybe it was a little too messy to understand. Here's a simplified attempt: I have a multidimensional array like this:
[Code]...
and if I wanted to find 'triangle' from the first row I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(level[0][2]);
What I'm trying to do though, is access elements based on a variable. Here's just an example of what I'm trying to do although it doesn't work:

I'm building a variable matching game. The player clicks one of four choices and then clicks the answer area. Their choice appears in the area, and if the answer is correct the answer container shifts down, highlighting the next answer area to be filled. Inside the container are a large number of these answer areas (60).
What I am trying to do is have only one be answerable at a time, the highlighted one, so that players can't skip ahead despite seeing the empty spaces left to answer in. What I have right now isn't working, and I could use some outside insight.
Code:
var i:int =1;
function sampleFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(selection == e.currentTarget.targetCorrect){//targetCorrect is a string set statically
[Code].....
I realize I could use a for loop to add the event listener, but the project really calls for only one answerable area at a time.

I have an array of external images that I am loading and the number of external images is variable, so I want to be able to create loaders to load them as needed. Is there a way to dynamically create and uniquely name a loader at run time?
Otherwise is there a way to pass the image content off in such a way that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?

I've dynamically created a grid of buttons which are going to modify a 2D array, but I can't work out how to create a unique function for each iteration of the loop with a dynamic function name. Probably just a stupid syntax error by me...

So I've been trying to make dynamically named functions, and while it works, I've run into a couple of problems.
ActionScript Code:
var uServer:String = "irc.epic-chat.net"
var lol:String = "lolz"
var num:Number = 3
[Code].....
If I had something like that ^ what could I add to func to distinguish between whether it is being called by lolz0, lolz1, or lolz2? I was thinking whether there was something like .name I could use, but I couldn't come up with anything.

method and this doesn't work for me either, i'm guessing thats because it is in the AS2 forum.

I have a movieclip (myMC) that I create several instances of.I dont duplicate the movieclips, but just copy and rename them like "myMC_i", where "i" is a unique number.Can I somehow check if one copy of myMC (for instance "myMC_2") collides with another copy (for instance "myMC_5"), always ignoring collisions with other types of movieclips on the stage?Thats the problem I cant solve. I can either check for a collision with ANY other movieclip, or check for a collision with a single SPECIFIED movieclip (by checking for its name). But I dont know how to check for a collision with a group of movieclips that has the first part of their names in common. If it had been like in a search-engine, you would have been able to search for:[code]

I'm trying to work on my first flash game but I'm already having problems making my character move.I'm currently following this tutorial:However, when I try to test my game, I get an error saying:"Access of undefined property player_mc"In the scene, I have a square MovieClip called "player" and when you select it, in its properties I have given it the instance name "player_mc".However I still get the error. So I decided to change the object's name to "player_mc" as well but that still gives me the error. I don't understand why this isn't working.According to this, it's just to do with spell-checking... but yeah, I looked through my code and the objects and it's all "player_mc".

I have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

I am working on an interactive quiz type game using arrays and multidimensional arrays.
I am trying to make a dynamic textfield say "the current question" + "Sorry, the correct answer is..." + "the second answer in the first string of answers in the array".
I think I am pretty close, but there is an error in the syntax.
Here is the line of code where I try to do this:
questionHolder.question.text=(String (cat4Questions[0]) + "Sorry, the correct answer is "+ String (cat4Answers[0,2]));
I am getting this error:
VerifyError: Error #1030: Stack depth is unbalanced. 1 != 0.
