ActionScript 2.0 :: Comparing Two Arrays (one With Objects)?
Apr 2, 2011
I'd like to know how to compare one array to another array with objects.
For example:
Array1 = [one, blue, car];
// there will always be only one entry in this array - no Array1[1], no Array1[2], etc.
Array2 = [product.number, product.color, product.type, product.cost, product.qty];
The actual content in Array2 would be something like this:
Array2[0] = [three, green, boat, 100, 5];
Array2[1] = [two, blue, truck, 200, 3];
Array2[2] = [one, red, car, 50, 20];
...and so on, up to about 60.
I'm trying to figure out to go through all of Array2 to determine if there's a match to Array1. Since none of the entries in Array2 are the same, there will always be one match.In this instance, I want to match array1 with product.number, product.color, and product.type. My example has them as the first 3 criteria, though that may not always be the case.
Something along the lines of this:
Code:
function findMatch () {
for(i = 0; i < Array2.length; i++) {
if(all 3 Array1 items equals items in Array2[i]) {
[code]...
Background: I've a combobox search that allows a user to select from drop-downs. After a user selects items from all 3 drop-downs, they click a submit button, and there's a check to see if the criteria in the drop-downs matches anything in the Array2 (which it should, if you can select it, then it's in the array).
After that, the matched information is used to populate a movieclip. There's actually about 20 pieces of information associated with each product. However, I only need to match 3 of them.I've searched and found comparisons for arrays. But I don't see how they'd apply to my issue as I'm using objects and there are more items in array2 than in array1. Of course, they may apply, and I'm just not understanding how. I could create a 3rd array and move only the items needed for a match from the array2 to it. Then I could do a straight comparison between array1 and array3.

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a clear explanation or basic example. How do you compare the elements of 2 arrays to see if there is a match?

The scenario is to create a lotto game that matches 6 user inputted numbers with 7 randomly generated numbers. The 7th number is a special case (eg bonus ball) WOULD LIKE TO SHOW A KIND HEARTED FALSH GENIUS ALL OF THE SCRIPT IF POSS! (its not tooo long) This code works, but it just outputs the default message: There seems to be a problem with my arrays not comparing? Part of the code is: (prioir to this the user inputs numbers, they are copied to text areas beginning with O, on a button press) On a second button press randomly generated number appear to a timer. //compareResult checks how many numbers match between the two sets of numbers to determine winnings.

I want to compare my two arrays.When both has the same object. they will trace out the name i give.This is the code;
var cap_array:Array = new Array(Sugar,Sugar,Milk,Cocoa);
function ingredients(evt:TimerEvent):void { var ing_mc:MovieClip = null; timer++;[code]......
There is no error in the code; but it can't trace out "cappuccino". Is it I should take the ingredients in order like in the array of the cap_array?

if i have 2 arrays let us say:
array1 = ["a", "d","f","j","g","s","o"];
array2 = ["a","b","n","f","k"];
Let us say i need to check the availability of each item in array2 into array1 and i want to delete it from array1. so if "a" is in array1 and array2, i wanna know that and i wanna delete it from array1.

I have a movie clip called "colors" that contains five clips (squares of different colors). I want to see only one of those colored clips at a time and I want them to be chosen at random (which i've accomplished). I would also like to make sure the same clips isn't selected again until all the other clips have been selected. On frame 1, I set up each main clip as a class:
function clipsClass(){}
clipsClass.prototype = new MovieClip;
clipsClass.prototype.onLoad = function(){
pickClips(this);
}
Object.registerClass("colors", clipsClass);

I have two arrays of objects. Each object has a unique name property besides few others. One of the array is a local copy and the other one is sent from server after regular intervals. The local copy of arrays is then used to add a movieclips into a container.Now, I want that when I receive an array from the server, I compare it with the one which is already with me locally such that the items which were not in the received array but were there in the local array, get removed from the container and the newly added ones only get added. The items which were present in both local and remote array remain as it is.

I have this code that's meant to compare two arrays for matching numbers. Depending on how many matches there are, a certain message will be displayed in a dynamic text field. But for some reason it's not working, can anyone figure out why?
ActionScript Code:
var _num:Number = 0;
function compare_Arrays() {
for(var i = 0; i < numbersChosen.length; i++) {
for (var k = 0; k < randomArray.length; k++) {
if (numbersChosen[i] == randomArray[k]) {

I'm trying to do a simple word counter that counts only unique words. So every new word in the inputWordArray gets added to a wordBankArray, but words that have been used previously would be ignored. I've got something that feels really close to be done but I think I need some kind of switch or break somewhere to keep it from adding on to the end of the array.
Here's my code and the output so far.
PHP Code:
var inputWordArray:Array=["word1","word2","word3", "word1"];
var wordBankArray:Array=["word1"];
var matches:Boolean = false
for (var i:Number = 0; i < inputWordArray.length; i++) {
trace("In inputWordArray loop with "+inputWordArray[i]);
for (var j:Number = 0; j < wordBankArray.length; j++) {
[Code] .....
//What I'm expecting: "Final wordBankArray: word1,word2,word3"

I have the following set up: 6 text input areas when button 1 is pressed these numbers are copied to 6 text areas these 6 (user input) with text areas appear and when button 2 is pressed a further 7 (result) text areas that appear to a timer and contain randomly generated numbers to string I need to compare these two groups of text areas in a way that treats the 7th text area as a special excluded case:

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this problem. I have 2 unsorted arrays that need to be compared, array2 must contain all elements of array1 and array2 can any number of extra elements without affecting the result. I don't see any benefits from sorting the arrays and comparing the string values as array2 can have extra information causing noise.

I have some script which grabs stuff from an xml file. The stuff grabbed from the xml is in a loop to create an automatic menu. This is all fine and dandy. Say there are 9 items in the xml file, I get 9 menu items with their unique id's.What I want to do is define an array for comparison against the info taken from the xml file. Say in the xml file I have nodes set up for Apple, Pear, Banana and Orange. With my current script I would get a menu with these items on it. What I need to do is be able to specify the items I want to appear on the menu. For this example I would want Apple and Banana only.
I have experimented with if statements, and it takes too much code to accomplish what I want I am sure there is a more compact way. My idea is to set an array with the items I want in it,then when the information is taken from the xml file,I need the script to do the function of creating menu items only with the items I have specified in the array. Below I have added the code, which has been modified from Kirupa's own squirrel finder tutorial.I need the code to be as reusable as possible, ie only the array would need to change.In my code the variable featureType would contain the information I need to compare against.
Code:
//set limits on the features that need to display
// define array
var featureLimits:Array = ["Apple", "Banana"];[code].....

Obviously the two date objects are somehow subtly different, and that difference somehow gets overlooked when they're parsed out as strings, but how are they different?

So I am trying to populate a user state from XML in such a way that a new user will start with a set of default variables.
An example default state might be:
Code:
state={obj2:{foo:"bar"}};
This would then be changeable by the user so his foo could later be "bar2" and that would be saved to a database.
Now, let's say I want to add a new node to the xml, so the default would be:
Code:
default ={obj2:{foo:"bar", foo2:{foo:"bar"}}};
An earlier user would have no foo2, so an attempt to use state.obj2.foo2.foo on a text field would generate an error.
What I'd like to be able to do is see if state has a value and if not, fill the user's data with the matching node in the default (in pseudocode):
Code:
if (some function (state.obj2.foo2.foo ) is not there) {
// fill with default
state.obj2.foo2=default.obj2.foo2
}

I have some objects that are very, very likely to be equal. I'm comparing them every second to check if they're the same as one stored in a data model on the client.Instead of having to check 5-6 data points to make sure they're equal, I would like to compare the binary to tell if they're not equal, so I can quickly overwrite the object in the collection if they do not have an identical binary representation.for example, I have the following objects:
ActionScript Code:
class tag{
var xCoord;
[code]....
So, instead of doing this sort of comparison for every member in the class
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOne.xCoord != tagTwo.xCoord ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}
I would like to do something like this.
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOneBinary != tagTwoBinary ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}

Basically what I'm looking to do is hitTest bullets inside an array (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array) with another array containing ships (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array as well).At the moment I have:
function moveEnemyLarge():void{
var target2:EnemyLarge;
for(var i2:int=0;i2<enemyShipArray.length;i2++){
[code]....
.. and a near identical function for the bullets (using variables: i, target).What is the easiest way for me to hitTest the objects within my bullet array with the objects in my ship array. Putting "target" in the PLACEHOLDER slot doesn't work, and from what I've seen some people will shove the one for() inside of the other.

I have a loop, it goes through and works fine. I can trace out my variables and all is hunky dory, for example "trace(title);" displays the variable title, as expected, there is also the variables "something" and "everything" and a unique ID: id. Now I want to put these variables into an array, so the values can be called via the ID. For example (I'm a PHP programmer normally) in PHP I'd do the following:
Code:
$array[$id]["title"] = $title;
And to display it I would do
Code:
echo $array[$id]["title"];
For each part of the loop I want to add the "title", "something" and "everything" into the array so I can call them by "id". I think I'm doing it wrong though, should I be using objects? If so, how?

What i have is 2 arrays, where one is "correct" - set by the computer. The player then makes his array and when its done i want to compare them to see that they match up. The array is in theory able to go infinite (its a memory game), and i thought this would work.
The arrays can only contain the numbers 1,2,3 or 4. which is added like this
Code:
player.push(2);
Code:
if(player.length == siren.length)
{
if((player[n] + siren[n]) /2 == siren[n])
[Code]......
What happens with my code, is it goes to lose each time. How can i compare the object at spot 1 in each array, then 2 in each array, etc?

How can I use arrays and some how display my objects accordingly based on my code below?
What I have here are three buttons that when clicked a new clip is added to the stage with a predefined position which means that when button1 is clicked the MovieClip will be added at the very top and when button2 is clicked the MovieClip will be added at second and when button3 is clicked the clip will be added at the very bottom, but what I would like to do is to be able to dynamically position these objects based on how many clips exist, in other words if button3 is clicked first, I want the clip to be positioned at the very top and if later button1 is clicked the clip is positioned
Accordantly (at second place). I know this may be simple, in fact I could probably use a few IF statements but I know the code would look ugly (yes, even more) and I may have add more buttons later. What I would be awesome is to some-how use arrays or something that makes more sense to hold the MovieClips and then display them accordingly.
ActionScript Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem1, false,0,true);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem2, false,0,true);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem3, false,0,true);

I've got four arrays which I want to use to create objects on the stage.
The first one is what the Object Class is called.
The second one is what I want the instance name to be.
The third and fourth relate to the x and y co-ordinates respectively.
ActionScript Code:
var objectName:Array = [Background, Frame, Up, Down, SideBar, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, Titles,
TimeBar, TimeBarSlider, Stop, Play, Pause, ThumbnailOutline, Thumbnail];
var instanceName:Array = [bg, frame, up, down, sideBar, yellow, green, pink, blue, titles,
TimeBar, timeBarSlider, stopBtn, playBtn, PauseBtn, thumbnailOutline, thumbnail];
[Code] .....
The "i" would relate to the parameters for the same object. So, if i = 0, then the Object Class Name would be: 'Background', the instance name would be 'bg', the x position would be '0', and the y position would '0'. What code would I need in the for loop to create this?

I am trying to make a to-do list application. I would like it to save each time I close. So I researched shared objects, and somehow cannot get it to work. I hold all my "items" in an array, then copy that array to a shared object. Here is the code used to copy the array: At the top. I put the array in a Global class, just ignore the GlobalVars.vars. junk. It's not really necessary, but it definitely works everywhere. ListItem is a class I made that works fine by itself.
Code:
var listCookie:SharedObject;
listCookie=SharedObject.getLocal("lkjasdf");
if(!listCookie.data.itemArray) {
listCookie.data.itemArray=new Array();
} for(var i in listCookie.data.itemArray)
[Code] .....
When this function is called, it equates the two arrays fine. I trace them both afterwards, and they have the same items in there. But when I close the .swf and reopen it, the saved array is full of undefined references. It has the same length, just nullifies everything it was supposed to have.

I want to arrange certain objects from a vector/array into a gird
Currently, I know how to do this during the creation of the objects.
Here's the grid function I've created:
function ArrangeInGrid(uiRow:uint, uiCol:uint, iOffsetX:int, iOffsetY:int):void
{
for(var i:uint = 0; i < uiRow; ++i)
{
[Code].....
Now I want to be able to apply the same logic of arranging objects in an array/vector in to a grid, how do I do it?
Or suggest a more efficient way to do so (if you have).
Notes:
I want it to be flexible in how many rows and columns the grid can have. The vector I'm using already has the cards in it. I can't just push the cards into the vector cuz of the way I manually created my cards.

can you create arrays of Bitmap and Sprite Objects? or Custom Objects?
if not, how would you typically create multiple Objects of the same type? just a loop with
var enemy:Sprite = new Sprite();
for(var count:int=0; count<10; count++)
{
enemy = new Sprite();
[Code].....
That way could be fine for many things, but theres other things I want to do.. such as, create an array of wav sounds.... and my program could pick and choose them, so they wouldnt need to load them on demand.. midi files too.
