I was wondering if I can create an array of created Classes. I have a feeling that I cannot, and that you can only create an array of values, not objects.
View 2 RepliesWhen I try to do this in an AS CDATA block, it tells me I can't have a class declared within a class (the MX:Application itself). Makes sense. But where and how do I do it?

I am currently trying to create a piece of code that will retrieve values from a 2D array and use them as x and y values to position instances of a MovieClip called mcMain. The code for the array will look something like this...
Code:
var lvlMain:Array = new Array();
lvlMain.push(new Array());
var xAxis:Array = new Array([150,400,200,300,100]);
[Code]....
how to create a piece of code that would retrieve the x and y coordinates listed in the arrays and use them to create instances of mcMain. So going from the code above it would create the first instance at x=150 and y=100, second instance........fifth instance at x=100 and y=500.
I'm making a portfolio, it has a large amount of images, one by work, (maybe there are 25) and they are put in a horizontal band, the images all have the same height, but not he same width, and they load an external MC of each work.So I want to create an array storing all this values, _width, and MC to load.
Secondly I have a frame like a stroke of the picture, the frame is in the center of the band of images, and there are two arrows, one to move on the band to the left, and other to the right. The thing is that when I push the arrow the band must move 15 px on left or right, and te frame must adapt (with easing) to the _width of the image.And one more thing, there will be many many images in a future, so I would like that a user if it's holding the left or the right arrow for a medium/long time it could make the band of images to go faster from one to another. I think it's so simple of changing the speed of the movement, what I don`t kwow is how to know if the button is pressed for a long-meidum time.

I've had the nagging thought of eventListeners vs container looping. For example, you could create a bunch of objects and store them in an array; make a loop that traverses the array and tells each object to execute a method. In contrast I could tie an eventListener to the object in it's constructor function that tells it to perform a task every frame.
View 6 RepliesI always thought this (mixed arrays) was possible, but now as I want to use it it won't work. I'm trying to create an array consisiting of 4 Vector3D objects and a Number. Yet Flash won't let me create such an array like:
Code:
var myArray = new Array(new Vector3D(1,2,3),new Vector3D(2,3,4),new Vector3D(3,4,5),new Vector3D(4,5,6),new Number(0));
Am I missing something here with the creation of the Array or is it just not possible and will I have to use an "Object" instead. Of course I could also just store my Number in the .x a fifth Vector3D-Object but this doesn't seem very practical to me.
I'm developing a game and the objective is to drag some objects to a container. Some objects add points, and some other subtract points. So, all the objects are in the library and have a linkage name to be called by attachMovie. I want to create an Array with all the objects that belong to container, like for example filename1 = ["obj1", "obj2", "obj3"]; etc... I have a var called count1 that defines the number of objects to appear on the Scene

Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...
here is the thing i want:::
I have array values like this,,
array1 = [23, 49, 40, 239, 20, 80, 39,49,120, 24, 31,41];
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
How do I change the values of arrays from different classes? i've array in one class called creation all the array are global variable

I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
i am using get and setters in my as3 code to edit values of an other class (because those variables are shared) i dont like to put stage.sharedVar.isScrabble in my code every time to change a variable so i used get/set functions [code]as you van see it has a lot of duplicate code every time the "return stage.sharedVar." and the "stage.sharedVar."+ the value + " = val" is constantly comming back.i was wondering is there a other way of creating these get/sets?[code]
View 3 Replieshow subclasses,instances,and inheritance work. The below code isn't actual project code, it's theoretical code, generalized to a simplistic level so that we can talk about the big issues.Let's say I have animals_app.fla, with a "Dog" class MC and a "Cat" class MC. Both "Dog" and "Cat" are subclasses of "Animals"; animals_app.fla uses document class "Main".
Intuitively, I think Animals should declare that every subclass should have some animalSpecies, and each subclass will define the value of its own animalSpecies. It wouldn't make sense for Animals to provide any default value, because it will always be different per subclass. Is this correct? I had tried out some code similar to that below, and was perplexed because it seemed like whenever a subclass tried to define a value for its own animalSpecies variable, it was actually changing the value of the variable in the Animal class, but that's not what I want. How do I rewrite this code so that each subclass defines the values of variables it inherits from its superclass, without altering the superclass? And how would I define the value of variables for each instance of a class, so that I'm only changing the values of that instance, without altering the subclass?

Code:

Also, conventionally, what should be in my Main class? Only the addChild code which attaches MCs to the stage? Or should the values of variables be defined in Main? What am I missing? I recently read Foundation Game Design with Flash and didn't feel like the explanation was sufficient. I've tried scouring the web for OOP tutorials, but they're either too basic or too far over my head.where I should be defining values of variables for classes, subclasses, and instances?
anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.
View 2 Repliesi been trying to figure out a way to make sure my property values from my xml file are fitting sweetly into my classes.
using 'property is XClassType' pretty much tells me if its an array, boolean, number. But strings are a bit weird. Even though the property is declared public var some:String the below test doesn't trigger it being set to a String. Are Strings different than Boolean, Array, Number, etc.?
Code:
if (myTarget[i] is String) {
trace("prop is string");
myTarget[i]=String(mySource[i]);

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?
View 6 RepliesI have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?

I want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.
For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.
I have 2 classes Main.as and RedPawn.as (yes, in the same folder).I am wanting to check if a child exists on a movie clip in Main.as through RedPawn.as.This is within a for loop since I am checking 24 possible values for _dest until I find a match.This simplified code example would be in the RedPawn class:
Code:
_dest = 'example_mc'; // example_mc is pulled from an array
if ( MovieClip(root)._dest.numChildren < 2 ) { // do stuff; }

I want to access an object from a class in which it was not created in. I have a main class (A) in which I create and instantiate an object (of class B), from this class I can obviously do whatever I want with the object, no problem. The issue I'm having is another class (C) needs to access the object in question to change its x and y location values. Class C doesn't know what the instance of class B, created in class A, is; this doesn't surprise me, but I can't figure out how to allow class C to get access to what class A created.
