I am currently making a small game using a couple of arrays, which contain MCs.
It goes like this:
Code:
grid = new Array();
for(i=0;i<array_length;i++){
this["row"+i] = new Array();

I am creating a game in which bubbles with simple math equations are falling from the top of the screen, and you have to enter in the answer to make the specific bubble disappear. The only problem is that I need a system that can delete the bubble(s) corresponding to the answer. I'm using an Actions-Frame code and a mathBubble AS class. I will show the frame code first.
stop();
var cooldown:int = 200;
var cooldownMax:int = 200;
inputAnswer.restrict = "^A-Za-z";
[Code].....
Reading the code is not completely necessary, I was just wondering if anybody could explain how I could use arrays to remove every child with the same answer as the randomized answer each child contains through variables "mathAnswer" and "mathAnswerString"
I got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

This code just generates a new ham_mc where the user releases the original (drag and drop). The original returns to its starting point. I have the same code for a movieclip called cheese_mc, the user can drag and drop cheese too.
So, if more than one of these ham_mc's and cheese_mc's are created, what is the best way to delete the last one created?
Is it possible to delete a function?
I have a reusable function, on the first frame it works, but on the 2nd it doesn't load properly and duplicates itself because the other function is still running in the background.
You'll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject, but if you have an object (movieclip, image, w/e) on the stage, and you want to tell flash you're done with it and all it's children (muahaha), what's the best way to do this?I've been using:
Code:
function removeChildAndChildren(targetMC){
while(targetMC.numChildren){

I want to name a function, and in the next frame of the movieclip to delete it.[code]...
View 7 RepliesI've just made the jump into AS3 from AS2 and am having trouble deleting a text box if I create it within a function. If I use exactly the same code outside of a function, it works a treat. I'm assuming this is something to do with the text box not having a global or _root property
Code below:
//I can delete this
var headline:TextField = new TextField();
headline.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
headline.htmlText = "COPY TEST";

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to delete a scene, in Flash CS5?
I have two scenes in the current .fla, and I want to delete one.
I'm pretty new to actionscript 3.0 and thus I get the feeling I'm making a very juvenile mistake.. either way I have been trying to solve this problem for hours to no avail. I have an assignment in uni to produce a basic flash game that is meant to meet a set criteria involving playing/pausing music, loading external swfs and so on which I have had no problem with.
The one issue I am having however is creating what is essentially a pond game in which a bird is meant to swoop down and pick up a fish. Getting a hit test to detect the collision between the fish and the bird is working fine but I want the fish to delete itself and then generate a new movieclip as the brief specifies. I can get it to generate a new movieclip no problem but for some reason I can't get it to delete the original one. [code]...
I'm modifiying the 3D Carousel and I want that onRelease function it desapears. I've created a new layer with two frames. The first have an stop(); and the second have a red rectangle.
I can go to this frame but I've tryied a lot of diferent methods to stop/delete the carrusel and it continues appearing.
can you delete a onEnterFrame that is placed on the MC its self, for example:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){i=0}
onClipEvent(onenterFrame){
i++
if(i>50){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
the concept is simple and works when placed on the timeline but does not work when placed directly on the MC.
I have made this flash thing. And it makes mcs on stage, and i have a button where i want to delete them all but cuzrrently my button deletes 1 at a time.I want it to delete all of thwem at 1 time
