I have a string that looks something like this: 00110; book1,book2,book3,: 6 What I need to do it spilt it up into sperate values by the semi colon. so in the end it would be like

This is a snippet of my code which is giving me
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbracket.
What I'm trying to do is create a an array from the amount of "players" and then for each player in the array, add another array into each level of the array that has 3 levels which are all set to '0'. When I remove: var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0]; the error stops.
ActionScript Code:
public var players;
public var playerScoreArray:Array;
public function gameSetup() {
var playerScoreArray = new Array(players);
for (var i = 0; i < players; i++) {
var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0];
playerScoreArray[i] = scoreArray[i];
}}

I've never seen this type of structure before and I'm having a heck of a time trying to search for it on Google - I've found what it means in just about every programming language except AS3.
I'm puzzled by the use of the colon in the return line of this function (return {r:r, g:g, b:b}). It returns an object with the properties r, g, and b, but I couldn't find this usage in any reference I've looked at. Is there any documentation of this?

We got a call today from a customer saying she was unable to input colon ":" in a textfield, instead it would turn into a ">". My first thought, since she's on a PC, was that she probably had switched her keyboard layout from swedish to english which would indeed make the colon turn into a "greater than". But after some investigation this happened on every pc I tested this on, and outside flash the inputs were correct. I am able to copy-paste a colon into the textfield.I also tried this on a pc with Windows 7 with a strange outcome. The first input became a ">", but after that the colons appeared correctly. After reloading the flash it worked from the first input.

View 1 RepliesI've been developing in AS2 for a few years now, and I'm learning AS3 at the moment. I ran into a problem about setting alpha on a PNG image.
I have a movieclip that holds a semi-transparent PNG image which comes straight from the library. Now I want to edit the alpha property of the movieclip. In AS2 it all works fine but when I set the alpha property in AS3 all semi-transparent pixels in the PNG image will fill with black first; then the alpha setting is applied.
Do I need to save my PNG's in particular way or do I need to edit settings in Flash to display correctly?

View 1 Replieswhen you iterate through an array using for / each, assuming the elements in the array are primitive types, the looping var takes on the type and value of each item, but is not a reference to the item.
Code:
var arr:Object = {a:1,b:2,c:3};
for each (var a:int in arr) {
a++;
[code]...
This differs from the behavior of PHP5, for example, where even though most objects are passed by reference automatically, objects within foreach loops are treated as copies unless specifically passed as &references like
PHP Code:
foreach ($arr as $key=>&$b) {}
Is there any way to get AS3 to do the decent thing and give you a choice whether subarrays are passed as references or not, without resorting to making ByteArray copies of your objects for every iteration of a loop?
I am trying to find out if it is possible to a) create a semi transparent box in flash, b) motion tween that box into place, c) subsequently use it to run forms and PHP scripts (connect to a MySQL instance, ect). I know that an exact answer to c) will be long and complex, so a simple (general) yes or no will suffice... but if someone could point me in more detailed direction with a) and b), If you need to see the actual project I'm working on, or if I need to clarify my questions,

What I am trying to create is an effect for a logo in which the motif in a semi circle shape which i want to appear in a wipe fashion starting left to right so that in wipe across and the shape appears in full at the end.
The shape in a rainbow....this would also have the company name below the logo which would be visible from start to finish. I have attached the picture of the logo. I would like the gold pot to also appear in the swipe of the rainbow.
I'm trying to make a simplegame in which you have to avoid a bunch of angry looking circles as they move across the screen. What should happen is that they all spawn outside of the stage and move across it then when they reach the other side they appear from somewhere else outside the stage So far I have managed to only make them come from one side of the screen by using this script on the enemy
[Code]....
I've tried using a switch() function with a random number to choose which side the enemy comes from but that didn't work it just skipped to default
Once I have a semitransparent object (with alpha not equal to 1) and put a glow filter on it, the glowing area is visible not only near edges of an object, but also under the object. It changes the whole look of an object, while it (probably by my logic) only should have changed the look of edges.
how to glow (or drop shadow) only edges of an object?
I have a bunch of different Movieclips from about 10 different classes moving about the stage. What would be the fastest/most efficient way to detect collisions between two of them? They can overlap each other a bit before the collision is detected, so I thought the easiest way would be to draw a couple rectangles that take up a majority of the object for each class and use hitTestObject to see if any of the invisible rectangles of one instance are colliding with the invisible rectangles of another. Is this a good method? I figured that since a bit of overlapping is okay and actually preferred, that two or three rectangles can easily take up all the room I need for each object.

how to send off multiple variables in an object (from a class) to the FLA file...[URL]The setup: I have a class that extends EventDispatcher. I created an Object called _pass, public var _pass:Object;.In my last function (everything is cool up until now), I have four variables that need to be passed to the main fla. Let's say they're param1, param2, param3, param4.
It was explained to me that I could use the public var _pass:Object; by first creating an instance of the object like so, _pass = { param1, param2, param3, param4 }; (each param is available in the function). Having setup an object instance, I could then dispatch the object to read from within my fla: dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));.
But I get these errors:
Quote:
1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before comma.
1083: Syntax error: rightbrace is unexpected.
As the livedocs show, you can use an associative array (with braces and a colon), but I don't need that. I just need to pass my variables that are pre-made to the FLA.

P.S. I tried searching the forum for an answer but the terms are so common I couldn't find what I'm looking for.
are semi colons ever REQUIRED after function definitions? From my experience Flash's parser doesn't seem to be too picky.
