ActionScript 2.0 :: Find Unique Items In Array
Aug 9, 2007
I'm working on a project where I have an array of coordinate points (4 of them) and a menu system that, when clicked, rearranges the boxes so that they all move around. The problem is that the values I pull out of the array are not always unique so some of the items end up not moving (or sometimes it ends up moving two to the same spot because the last one didn't move and one of them moved to a spot that is already occupied).
Here is the code I was using which for the most part works, except as mentioned, sometimes the check for the last one in the loop sees that the conditional is not equal so it doesn't do anything because there is no other values to loop through and it just leaves it in that spot.
Code:
private function checkCoordinates($item:MenuItem, $coords:Array):Void
{
var numItems:Number = $coords.length;
[Code]....

i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example:
var fruit:Array = ["apples", "oranges", "grapes", "oranges", "apples", "grapes"];
how can i get it to show only the number of apples in the array?

I've never used classes in Actionscript before, but right now I think they could make my life a lot easier. What I want to know is, when I create a new movieclip from (or with or whatever) a class, is it possible to add some unique variable values that I can retrieve from it? For example, if I wanted to create a door (door1) from class 'door' and give it a variable leadsto = door4; In AS2 I could just put leadsto = door4; onto the door1 movieClip and then retrieve it through door1.leadsto;

I'm trying to resolve the following:I'v got a long xml file with a node called 'ows_Sub_x002d_Site' - this has several different values (e.g Home, about us e.t.c) which i then filter to make sure only items with that specific value are then looped thro to build a menu.
That part i got sorted (see below).The problem i have is that i need to know how many items there are in the xml file with that value before i loop thro the xml and build the menu (so i can determine the overall width of the menu e.t.c).
function buildTheMenu():void {
var filterBy:String = "Home";
var rss:Namespace = new Namespace("#RowsetSchema");[code]....

I have an xml file and I'd like to create an array of all the unique values from one of its nodes.The xml file is called pntxml and the node is pntxml.row.Category where category is from where I'd like to create an array of all unique values.I was working through this and was first going to create an array of all values in Category by iterating through the xml and pushing those values into a seperate arrayWhen I try to push each entry into an array I get an error orTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at NAPA_fla::MainTimeline/sortXml()
var catArray:Array;
function sortXml(event:Event):void{
for (var i:int = 0; i< pntxml.row.length(); i++){

I'm trying to find a simple way to solve this problem: I have an array of integers and need to find the highest value that is unique.Specifically, my array holds player scores. Ex: (4,7,6,5,2,7)I need a function that will give me the highest score that it is not tied with another score. So for the example above, it would return 6 (not 7 since there are two 7's)

I am making an user application where users can chat one on one for an x amount of time till they go to the next user (see it as speeddating). Only they are all women talking about women stuff like knitting or something. A friends chat.
I am stuck with making unique pairs. only the first round is going great (unique pairs), but then it gets mixed up:
[Code].....
As you can see everyone in round 1 is paired good. But in round 2 you see (for example) Donna talking to Cindy, but Brenda is also talking to Donna. that's not right. she can't talk to 2 people at once.

My hitTestObject fails even though a trace shows that I'm getting access to the correct target object.
I read a post that said that hitTestObject won't work if the hitter has the same identifier as other hitters (like in an array). So I tried using a single hitter (set the array to have only one element) and it does work, which makes me think I need to give a unique ID to each hitter in the array.
I can declare a string var in the for loop and make it unique, but since it's a string it won't accept being typed as another class.
how to create 100 unique var names that can be typed as a class?
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Liner extends Sprite{

I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

I am working on trying to collect data within an array (which works) and this data is collected when a button is pressed or selected. I also want the ability to remove an item from the array if the button is pressed again. Currently, I have these buttons dynamically generated and everything works well. The buttons have ids applied to them. SO what I am trying to get working is, if I select button 0, 2, 3 (0 indexing), the data array created holds [A., C., D.]. I want to remove A. after I click button 0. Instead, it seems to cause problems. What I am doing wrong with splicing??? trace statement:
A. items so far selected
selected items are: 0
A.,C. items so far selected

I need to sort String items in an Array. Actually I need to organize children of a MOvieClip inside an Array.
I have a "menu" mc object which has 8 children with names "m1", "m2", and so on..... the last one is "m8" . They are NOT created dynamically.
the children are even organized in layers alphabetically.
i've already tried:

I have an array that contains movieclips. All of the movieclips have te type and they are all positioned on the stage next to eachother.
Above the displayed movieclips i have 3 buttons, each simbolizing a type, what i want to do is: i click on one of the buttons and all of the movieclips that dont match the right type should be removed from the stage, the remaining movieclips should then tween so that they are next to eachother again. If i click the button again then the movieclips should be displayed again to where they were and should all be positioned again next to eachother.

Basically I have 6 movieclips on the timeline with instance names 'btn1', 'btn2' etc to 'btn6'. These movieclips have an "on" and an "off" state (frame labels)
