ActionScript 2.0 :: Add Element To Array When It Is Not In There Already?
Jun 22, 2010
This is for a small RTS prototype I'm working on for some fun, but I've hit a snag.
For examples sake, I've got two arrays, activeAgents and houseArray. A number of movieclips (player controled units/agents) are stored in activeAgents and houseArray is used to store any agent that is "inside" the house.
If an agent in activeAgents hitTests the house that houseArray belongs to and the agent ISN'T already in the houseArray, then I want to add the agent from activeAgents INTO the houseArray.[code]...

Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

I have this array:

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?

I know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.
var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];
trace(myArray[0]);
trace(myArray[0], ?,?);

I'm trying to make a memory like game. It might be called Simon or Simple Simon or something. Basically something is shown for a second and then gone, then the user clicks that something. Then two or three things are shown in order and then gone and the user clicks the order.
I'm stuck at the very beginning, just showing something from an array for half a second or so then stopping and then starting over and adding one more element.

Code:
arrayA[i] = arrayB[j];
This results in:
1:[object #7, class 'Array'],
I'm would like to set arrayA[i] to the value of arrayB[j], not set arrayA[i] to the object arrayB[j].
I can't use .toString() as I'm trying to pass on an array inside an array.

I have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.
I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?
Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using
Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}
Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?

I've got an array containing various sprites... I'm wanting to reference the sprite I want by its name rather than its index in the array, and was wondering if theres a simple way of doing this? I know I could do a for loop through all the array elements and see which one has a name that is equal to the name im looking for, but is something along the lines of myArray[elementName] possible?

I have an array, created as:
ActionScript Code:
myArray:Array = new Array(10)
pretty much just saying there is 10 elements in it. I define each function as "land", for example. Then in the same function I redefine a random element as "water".
(It is a bit more complex, this is simplified!)
Upon executing this I get the error:
ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
if I put the second bit in a new function (the random water part), there is no problems and it executes perfectly. Obviously I cant define an element twice in the same function.

i have a multidimensional array of an unknown length n. If I know the indices of the element I want in the multidimensional array, is there a way to dynamically construct a method to get at the element?
So for example,
array[1][2]
array[0][1][2][3][4][5][6]
i need to be able to construct a syntax statement, such that: array[0][1][2]....[n]
something like:
var indices:Array = [0,1,2,3];
var arrStatement;
for(var i = 0; i < indices.length; i++){
arrStatement += "[" + indices[i] + "]";
}

Using a for-loop I made a grid of movieclips. But I wanted it so every second row had one less than the one above it. I thought I had that sorted when I placed an if statement in the method. However, flash still "sees" the missing movieclip. I've tried to splice the array element from it, but instead of removing it, it seems to have copied it.
Here's the code:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

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.
