Following code removes duplicates from an array. But the problem is, it modifies the original array. Can we create a new array which does not have duplicates and keep the original array intact?
[Code]...
I am creating an educational game. I have several arrays. These arrays have duplicate problems and that is fine. The problem is, I do not want the duplicate problems to appear right after each other. I have a function that randomizes the arrays. I am trying to create a function that, if a duplicate is found immediately after the original, it will be moved to the end of the array.
So far I have this...
function noRepeat(){
var len = aNineb.length;
for (i=0; i<len; i++){
before = i - 1;
trace("aNineb = " + aNineb[i][0]);
[Code] .....
But it never gets to the extra problems. Do I need to pop it or slice it out before I push it to the bottom? And, how could I make this a prototype thing, so I could just type in aNineb.noRepeat(); ?
I am making a drag and drop game using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc items are duplicated and enlarged from a menu and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot. Each part (arms, head, feet, etc.) is it's own mc with unique instance names. I have the drag and drop part all figured out, and I even have the duplicateMovieClip part working...
HOWEVER... Whenever I move from the current frame that an object was duplicated in, to another frame and then back, the clips dissapear one by one if you try to create a new one. Each list of menu items are in their own frames (heads, torsos, arms, etc.). As the duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what frame you go to and can still be dagged around, which is good, but as I said previously, they dissappear when you create a new duplicate. Not all disappear at once, only older created duplicates disappear as you bring in new duplicates.

I just have an array of names (strings) in flash, and I want to make sure that any duplicates from the array are removed, or at least that a function is performed only once per reocurring value in the array.
View 5 RepliesI want to remove duplicates from an array. I've a command which works very fine:
arrayID = (arrayID.filter(function(e:*, j:int, a:Array) {return a.indexOf(e) == j;}, this));
This code is for normal arrays which contain only normal values (number or string).. but i've an array in my script, which has objects in that...
var arrayID:Array = [{value:1, name:"asd"},{value:2, name:"asd"},{value:3, name:"asd"},{value:1, name:"qwe"},{value:2, name:"qwe"},{value:3, name:"qwe"},{value:4, name:"asd"}];
What I want is I want to remove duplicates of "name" element! so after removing it should become:
arrayID = [{value:1, name:"asd"}, {value:1, name:"qwe"}];
I believe it is quite easy even I tried to play with the code but I could not do...

I can find plenty of ways to remove duplicates with literal datatypes, and I guess at an absolute pinch I could use toString and adopt one of those, but there surely must be a better way of doing this?
View 8 RepliesI will do my best in explaining what is happening. I have a feeling it has something to do with how I declare things, but I am kinda new with AS3 so please have patience.

I have an array of objects, I separately have a reference to one of the objects in this array (in particular, the object dispatched an event and its reference is the event target, which is what I have). How do I find this object in the array and remove it from the array?
View 3 RepliesI have a big array which contains words and sentences. I want to find certain specific words to replace with other words. I know about the string replace(), but from what I can understand, that only works with strings. I'm looking for something similar to the str_replace function in PHP where you can search both arrays and strings, and change words in them. Does something like that exist in actionscript 3, or do I have to build some kind of loop myself, to loop through the entire array, and use the string repace() on every single string in the array?

i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example:

View 1 Repliesin my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)
Code:
for(z=1;z<=_root.howmany;z++)
trace(array_name[z]._x);
}
it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
(like; _root.moive1, _root.mave2,etc)
but when i try to access it, it doesn't work? what am i doign wrong and/or what should i do?
