Is there any way of getting the current active index position from an array? As an example, something like this:
j=0;
current = myArray[index];
my_btn.onPress = function(){

I am working with a set of external XML data, and putting it into arrays. I have set up images and text on a page using XML data, which, when clicked on, will populate a popup window with XML data from the same index. For some reason, when I trace the index of the array, it comes up as -1.
stop();
itemNameTops1_txt.text = nme_array[0];

I am trying to trace an index number from an array.
I know this must be about as simple as it gets, but I just cant figure it out.
I know the contents of the array are all asighned a number begining with 0.
I need to find out the index number of a thumbnail when you click on it.
Code:
function whenThumbsLoad(event:Event):void{
var thisThumbsLink:String = clipPathList[ c ];
var thisThumbsTitle:String = clipTitleList[ c ];
[Code].....
I know I can trace the thisThumbsLink and get that, but all I need is it's index number. Also I trace(c); and I get how many there are, but I just don't know what to trace to find the index number.
The Action script code below takes the strings in the array (pgtit) and creates a dynamic navigation bar I am trying to trace the index number of the array being click I just seem to get -1.
var pgtit:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var xPos = 0;
var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild(menuHolder);
for(var i:uint = 0; i < pgtit.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I have a sprite loaded as an array, and that array has an event listener for a function. say that function is called funct1. in funct1, i want to be able to grab the index of the array and load it into a variable for future functions and what not. how would i go about this?

Say that ArrayVar is equal to 3 at the time funct1 is triggered. in funct1 i want the variable curIndex to be set as 3.
I have a combobox that displays a list of items from an array (we'll call this Array1). Of course, an item can be selected, and the user is displayed a small output describing the item that was selected.
I created another array that contains the URL for items in the above array, Array1. How can I get the index value of a selected item from Array1? Here is the code I used:

For example, if I selecte FontsForFlash, Flash outputs Fonts for Flash in the Output Window. How can I display the array position of Fonts for Flash instead of the name Fonts for Flash?

I have a main swf that loads 6 movies. And I know how to stack movies in levels and how to target different levels from wherever the user may be. But the trouble is the level/movie on top has to visually overlap the level/movie underneath. And this has to happen dynamically because, say my main movie points to A, B, C, D, E, and F. If I go to B from F, I need to see part of F until I see B. So if I tell Main to open ABCDEF on 1 that works fine. But I can't simply tell A to open B on level 2 because ABCDEF needs to stack on top of the former ABCDEF. Does that make sense? I've been living this for five days and it hardly makes sense to me.
Take my word for it, ABCDE & F need to overlap in a way where I can't just set their levels as one higher than the next.

how to make an actionscript to move punto_mc from current position to random position after release, and then from this new position to mevo to another randon position after release?
View 2 RepliesSo, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I have a tween set on a timer:
var manTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,14);
manTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveMan);
function moveMan(e:TimerEvent):void {[code]....
I just need to make the tween's position relative to it's current position, as opposed to starting at the stage's 0 position then moving the the stage's -40 position. It needs to start at its current position the move -40 from that position.
For instance, if I have an ordered set of objects [a, b, c, d, e] with their tabIndex property correctly assigned, and the focus is currently on object c, I want to change the focus so that:
a) Nothing is focused;
b) Next time I press tab, object a gets focused.
stage.focus = null solves (a), however it remembers the current index causing object d to be focused when tab is pressed.
If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;
I have some simple Sprites that I'm putting into an array. However, when I click on them I want to trace what their position is in the array. How do I go about doing that?

I want to add some mouse click listeners and then I want to trace the currentTarget's position in the array. I just have no idea what parameters to give the trace().
I have 4 movieclips and I want to be able to track which one is selected or not, something like this:
I start with 4 unselected MC
I click on mc1 and a trace message says MC1 selected I click on mc1 again and a message says MC1 unselected I click on mc1 and a message says MC1 selected I click on mc2 and a message says MC1 and MC2 selected
I click on mc2 again and a message says MC1 selected and MC2 unselected

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...
how to get the X and Y coordinates of a character in a string based on index? I find it odd that I can get the exact letter and index by clicking a character in a text field, but I haven't found anything in code that can get those coordinates without a user click. Seems like they would have to know the x,y of the individual indexs to be able to tell you what letter you're clicking based on your own mouse coordinates.

I have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a game with Flash CS5/AS 3.0 that tries to simulate depth of field by drawing all the relevant Movie Clips based on their Y position in ascending order, i.e. things lower on the stage overlap things higher on the stage. A MovieClip with a Y position of 10 would therefore need to have a lower index compared to a MovieClip with a Y position of 20, so the second one gets drawn on top of the first.
I wrote a quick and dirty function just to test this. During the trace, I've noticed that the truck's index hits 0 when I go near the top of the stage, but if I go too far up it will completely disappear from the stage. Trace then starts generating this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I have this tween function that moves an object 100 pixels as soon as it enters the frame.
if (currentValue % 15 == 1) {
var rab1:MovieClip = rabbit1._x;
var myHoriTween:Tween = new Tween (rabbit1,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,rab1,(rabbit1._x = rabbit1._x + 100),2,true);
myHoriTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
this.stop()
}
My idea is to set up a loop to watch the tween, once it advances its 100 pixels from where it started I want to do a few things before I go to the next frame. Right now I'm using a timer, but it limits my ability to control the playhead.
I've been trying to create a loop to check the current _x and trace it so I can see it advancing as its tweening but it's simply too advanced for me.
I want to get the current cursor position in text field while typing
View 1 RepliesI've always wondered if there was a way to retrieve and store the current position of an object. i am trying to develop a background slideshow using penners equations. but i get into trouble because you have to define the start position. so let's say you click button 1, and the object moves from x =0 to x = 200. Now when i press button 2, i want the object to move from x = 200 to x = 400. and if i then press button 4, i want it to move from x=200 to x=800 and so on. So i need to go from the current position to any of the new positions. i could do this simply using the normal inertia code.
[Code]....
So what I'm trying to do is rotate from the current position the model is in.
I know the basic stuff like this:
[Code]....
But now the model jumps to the rotationY according to the mouseX (which is obvious because you can read it in the code ) But I don't know how to change this to use currentYRotation.
