So I want to use some functions that only work if a word in an array is present.
The pseudocode would be something like this
Quote:
if(array contains "word"){
perform function
}
If you have a group of movie clips stored in an array and the movie cliops are placed on the stage randomly, and use your arrow keys to move a box on top of one of the movie clips - how can you "tell" Flash which movie clip you clicked on?
Right now I've got a for loop going which loops through the array that has stored the movie clip instances, presumably the hitTestObject would eventually get a hit...But this doesn't work, especially inside an event handler where when I press the right arrow on my keyboard.

what would be a good solution to the following scenario: a page is supposed to have a few flash buttons in it. we want to check if the user's browser supports flash (a given version i suppose) and if not - display gifs or jpgs instead.

View 1 RepliesI have XML that looks like this:
<question>
<type_elt>
<opt_out_flag />
</type_elt>
</question>
type_elt is not an element name; it might be <single>, <multiple> or something else, determined at runtime. How, given this, can I detect the presence of the opt_out_flag element?
I tried this (where xml refers to the question element):
if (xml.*.opt_out_flag) {
do_something();
}
but even in cases without opt_out_flag the above expression returns true. Obviously I'm missing something, but what is it?
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
I've written the following method (in actionscript 3, it's a flash application) which returns what transformation type is required for the current mouse position in relation to a given element position.
An element can be moved, scaled and rotated. This method returns if any of these transformations are applicable with the given coordinates[code]...

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
i need to split a large text file into an array at line breaks so one array element = one line.i have tried the using "" in both match() and in RegExp but it doesnt work.i had the g and m flags on. tried the $ sign too.
View 8 RepliesI know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.

How can add element to array in ActionScript3
If i have an array: var myArray:Array;
How can add element to this array "myArray", something like this:
myArray[] = value;
My second question is: How can compare if variable value exist in array element value?
Something like in_array function in php
I'm trying to make a memory like game. It might be called Simon or Simple Simon or something. Basically something is shown for a second and then gone, then the user clicks that something. Then two or three things are shown in order and then gone and the user clicks the order.
I'm stuck at the very beginning, just showing something from an array for half a second or so then stopping and then starting over and adding one more element.
This is for a small RTS prototype I'm working on for some fun, but I've hit a snag.
For examples sake, I've got two arrays, activeAgents and houseArray. A number of movieclips (player controled units/agents) are stored in activeAgents and houseArray is used to store any agent that is "inside" the house.
If an agent in activeAgents hitTests the house that houseArray belongs to and the agent ISN'T already in the houseArray, then I want to add the agent from activeAgents INTO the houseArray.[code]...
Code:
arrayA[i] = arrayB[j];
This results in:
1:[object #7, class 'Array'],
I'm would like to set arrayA[i] to the value of arrayB[j], not set arrayA[i] to the object arrayB[j].
I can't use .toString() as I'm trying to pass on an array inside an array.
I have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.
I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?
Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using
Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}
Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?
I've got an array containing various sprites... I'm wanting to reference the sprite I want by its name rather than its index in the array, and was wondering if theres a simple way of doing this? I know I could do a for loop through all the array elements and see which one has a name that is equal to the name im looking for, but is something along the lines of myArray[elementName] possible?

I'm trying to retrieve the value of an array element in a trace statement...how do I go about this? I've had a look through the AS reference manual but can't work out what should follow the dot '.'?

First of all, how should I remove an element from an array?Now I am using arrays this way (just an example):
array["red"] = 0xff0000;
array["black"] = 0x000000;
How do I remove "red" for example from the array?
I have an array, created as:
ActionScript Code:
myArray:Array = new Array(10)
pretty much just saying there is 10 elements in it. I define each function as "land", for example. Then in the same function I redefine a random element as "water".
(It is a bit more complex, this is simplified!)
Upon executing this I get the error:
ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
if I put the second bit in a new function (the random water part), there is no problems and it executes perfectly. Obviously I cant define an element twice in the same function.
var my_arr:Array =['das',2,jack',4,5];i need to delete the element by refering thier index number.
