I list all question areas in an array. I now want to loop through the array and see if any area element is represented more than once. And if so, how many times.This is the array of question areas that I have[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have an associative array.
Actionscript Code:
myArray = {car:"Ford",type:"Mustang"},{car:"Chevy",type:"Camaro"});
Now if I wanted to add data to the indexes how would I do it?
For instance I now want to add years 1985,and 2000 to the index 0 and 1.
I'm trying to find the way to draw random elements from different arrays. I have three dynamic boxes (box1, box2, box3) and a button (bt_2). I have three arrays:
positiveNumbers:Array,
negativeNumbers:Array, and
fractionNumbers:Array.
I have managed to draw a random element from each array and display it on each box.
PROBLEM: When button (bt_2) is clicked, I would like each box to draw a random element from any array. However, arrays positiveNumbers and negativeNumbers are int, while fractionNumbers is Number. If I use Math.round all elements from fractionNumbers will be positiveNumbers.How to handle this?Here is my code:
// setting the arrays//
var wholeNumbers:Array = new Array (50);
var negativeNumbers:Array = new Array[code]....
I am currently making a quiz game and have an XML file which stores all the questions/answers.I then load the xml, and put all of the info into multiple arrays.
ActionScript Code:
var x = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;
x.load ("Stating The Obvious 2.xml")
[code]....
So, how would I edit the code to make the questions appear in a random order? i.e. Make the currentQuestionNumber be random while not repeating itself.Also, is it possible to make the answers appear in a random order on the screen? For example, instead of the "answer1array" element always appearing at the top and the "answer4array" element appearing at the bottom, is there a way to mix things up a bit?
I'm trying to figure out how to generate an array whose elements are each arrays to make a quick loading database of sorts.the main array could essentially be something like "employees" while each employee would have demographic data like age, salary, gender, etc.In some cases the information on some employees would be greater than others, and options created by "push" would imply the number of elements within each employee array would be variable until generated.[code]But I get the feeling this type of array as it is currently described doesn't lend itself well to adding new elements in the way I've described.My goal is once an employee's information has been entered and saved, I can call up their info by array number like aEmployee[2], and if employee 2's name is Bob, then Bob's name would appear in the text field, along with all the other fields related to Bob's array, such as being male, 42 years old, and living in Witchita Kansas.Would I modify a multidimensional array, or do I want an array within an array, and is there a way to add "arrays" as elements?
View 8 RepliesLet's say I have an array with 7 elements in it. I want to create a new array of 15 elements, randomly picked from the first array. Also, I want to have at least 1 of every element of the first array in the second array. How can I achieve this?
This is what I already have:

I am familiar with the method of embedding a SWF file in Actionscript and then creating a variable and assigning a corresponding UI element from the SWF.Is it possible to create and place UI elements like TextFields and SimpleButtons purely with Actionscript without first creating them in a SWF and embedding it?

I wonder if it is possible to pre-configurate Flex Elements on the Server. I have the Problem with a custom ItemRenderer which turns out to be very slow. It would be very cool to pre-process such an element on the server instead in the clients browser... somehow? Maybe it is possible to produce the MXML dynamically on the server for that.
This is it basically. I create a Label for each data entry in an array list. This entry is added to a BorderContainer and this goes to the containing element as a whole here. Sometimes i add 200 - 300 items this way which is costing very high computing cost at client side. So i wonderd if i could just pass this as a whole dynamic mxml element to the client.[code]...
I have an array of movieclips that represent buttons the user can click on them, and so I need to use addEventListener function so the click can be handled. I can use a loop and create en addEventListener for each element, I'll have 26 elements in the array, but I want to try another solution by using only one addEventListener and apply it on the array instead of the elements. I want to know how to recognize which button was clicked, I mean what's its index in the array.
View 6 RepliesI have imported a SWC into my actionscript project. It includes many different movieclips that I can access in my project. My question is this: How can I create a custom AS3 class that I can use to add functions and properties to my movieclips?
For example I have a movieclip with a linkage name of LevelButton. I tried creating a class that was the same name but they didn't seem to go together.

how to create arrays with the same name inside an array of object. When I populate the array with data from a xml file, all of them got the same value.[code]If you put these together and test run the project, you can see that the two arrays of adsBoard have exactly the same data.
View 1 RepliesI wanna add dynamically (at runtime) new states to a container and, to this states, add different elements (like TextInput, Label etc.). This must be done from actionscript, I don't use any mxml file. I can add states and change properties or styles for different elements, but I didn't figured out how to add child elements for different states.

What I am trying to do is create an array of 12 out of an unknown number of thumbnails (there are 23 at the moment though this will change).So basically first 12 in array1, second 12 in array2 an so on until all thumbnails are in an array. So I need to create each array using a dynamic name, in this case 'pagearray' I.E pagearray1, pagearray2, pagearray3.
So here is the code I am trying though I have only managed to get the code to create the one array so far. The last one. This code is within a for loop that iterates through all the thumbnails.[code]...
I always seem to have problems when there are square brackets involved in naming things

Is it possible to have a for loop and create a new array for every loop

I know this doesen't work it just illustrates what im after.
I would like to dynamically create elements based on the array. I would like to just put the array name and append _panel. so menu_item_panel will become settings_panel, info_panel,etc. I cannot figure out how to do that?

I have an array of movie clips (representing band members) which have various properties, among them them a property which tells where the band member went to after they left their current band. For those who formed a new group, I want to create an array. Within that array, I want to group all the ones that left for the same group into secondary arrays. So, if you had five band members and 2 of them left for group X and 3 left for group Y. What's the best way to do this? This is, roughly, my code:
[Code]...
Alternatively I suppose if I could do without a multidimensional array and just loop through all the members and say - for those members whose group is the same, perform this function, with the name of that same group passed as the parameter for the function. I guess the trouble I'm having is identifying who's the same.

View 3 RepliesI retrieve XML data in Flex via HttpService. I have the resultFormat property on the HttpService instance set to HTTPService.RESULT_FORMAT_OBJECT. The result contains data similar to this:
<!-- ... -->
<children>
<item><!-- ... --></item>
[Code]....
I get an array named item beneath the element children when there is more than one item sibling. If there's only one, the conversion can't distinguish it from a scalar.
What do I need to change to have Flex convert all item elements to an array with 0 or more elements?
What would I have to do to get an array member children, dropping the item wrappers altogether?
The XML is generated by Struts on the server side. I always have the option to change the structure of the document there, but right now I'm interested in what I can do with Flex.
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();
