I'm just trying to associate a string with a previously declared array but I'm unsure how to do so.In this instance, I'm taking the literal string from a combo box label:
thisString = comboBox.text
Where thisString is an array I've declared before,and I would like to treat it as the array I made before.
I want to be able to validate a string so that it doesn't contain any numbers or special characters like '@!�%^' for instance, how would i go about doing this?
View 3 RepliesI have a comboBox that I need to associate different email addresses with the different selections (the "selections" are the labels of the comboBox - not the data... the data fields for the comboBox are blank). right now, as written it returns "email2" no matter which I pick.
Code:
if (comboBoxName.getValue() == (("selection1") || ("selection2") || ("selection3") || ("selection4") || ("selection5") || ("selection6") || ("selection7") || ("selection8"))) {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email1";
} else {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email2";
}
Also, is there an easier way to do this than by using the if statement?
Is it even possible to associate a class file to a movieClip manually placed on the stage without setting up the class linkage in the library? If so, how?
P.S. linking in the library then placing on the stage is not a viable option. Nor is using "addChild" from the library.
I create some movieclips dynamically through a loop and store them into an array. I add an event listener to all those movieclips. In the function to which I direct the listener I want to be able to get the loop variable value associated with each movieclip. For example if you click the movieclip that was created the first time the loop ran then you would get the value 0.
Hope I have explained myself well enough. Is it necessary to create a custom event class for this?

Is it possible to put variables in an array?
For example:
Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);
When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?
I created a multidimensional array and I am having a hard time using .push to start another line. I have tried many thing however this is where I am at right now:
Actionscript Code:
arrayName = new Array(new Array());arrayName[0].push("cats");arrayName[0].push("dogs");arrayName[1].push("panthers");trace("arrayName[0][0] = "+arrayName[0][0]);trace("arrayName[0][1] = "+arrayName[0][1]);trace("arrayName[1][0] = "+arrayName[1][0]);
As you can see the last trace (arrayName[1][0]) comes back undefined. How do I add the [1][0] level of the array?

Basically i've got a timer which records how long a user remains in either section A,B or C on my site. Each time the user switches from say A to C, the time spent in the section A is recorded into Array A and so forth. What i'm having difficulty with is adding each of the elements within the array together..... Top bits are just the button functions....bit in bold is what i would THINK would be the correct way to add the elements together - with a for loop....

I have an array of images and an input text box. I want to type something in the text box which will be different for each picture.

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to return the index of the first instance of a specified value within an array? Similar to:
Code:
var my_string = "string";
var index = my_string.indexOf("g");
/*Outputs:
1
*/
Basically, I have two arrays, each with 10 values (in slots 0-9 of the arrays). So I need to see if an array has a specified value in it, but then I have to see if the other array has a certain value in it, in the same spot as the first instance of what I search for in the first array.
For instance:
PHP Code:
my_Array = new Array();
my_Array.push("one", "two", "three", "four")
Here's the catch: another variable (for instance) called "three" is loaded. I want to look up "three" in my_Array and retrieve the index-number (should be 2 of course). How can I accomplish that?

I get an array of strings. How can I do it to get an array of int?
suppose you have an array with a number of strings in ActionScript3 and you want to test if a test string is "in" that array. "in" only works against the index with Arrays in AS3 (which is totally retardo if you ask me), though it does work with ojects, but we're not talking about objects.improve (reduce) on this code I'm using now? I'm hoping to avoid defining a utility function - I'd like a nice elegant one-liner.
myArray.filter(function(item:*, i:int, a:Array) { return (item == testString); }).length
Since 0 == false we can use it in a test. Do note that testString's scope is defined in the containing function, encapsulated by the closure.
if (allowedProfiles.filter(function(item:*, i:int, a:Array) { return (item == name); }).length){ // yay! }
