I have an array of image width values pulled from XML. I want to simply look at the array and return a value that is equal to the highest number in the array. e.g. the array might end up like array [250,600,350,375]and I just want something that returns the highest value (in this case the 600).

I have 3 movieclips and inside them loads external txt.files .To MovieClip number one loads 1.txt, to number two loads 2.txt and to number three loads file 3.txt.Allright everything works, but......what if I wantet to load the txt-file that has the highest number to the first movieclip example 65.txt, and to number two the 64.txt, and to movieclip 3 txt-file 63. And when there is txt-file called 66 in the folder it loads to movieclip one, and 65 loads to movieclip 2 etc... I think everybody gets the point.Is it possible, that Flash look up the txt file that has the highest value?

I'm creating this shooter game. I attached a crosshair mc at the beginning with the depth set to getNextHighestDepth.However I keep adding the monsters mc dynamically when the game progresses, also with getNextHighestDepth. So the monster mc will keep overriding the depth of my crosshair's depth. how to get my crosshair mc's depth always to be on top of everything including the monster mc.I tried getNextHighestDepth()+1000 for my crosshair mc. But it was dumb because the monsters keep getting getNextHighestDepth as well. I assume that monster's depth would be 1001, 1002 and so on...
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to set the MovieClip I MOUSE_DOWN on to the highest index using
var mcToMove:MovieClip;
mcToMove = this[e.target.parent.name][e.target.name];
trace(mcToMove is MovieClip); // "true"
setChildIndex(MovieClip(mcToMove), (this.numChildren - 1));
but I think it's only giving me the e.target.name and not the whole path that includes the parent mc as well.
ok so in actionscript using xml I can find all the nodes of the same name using
xmlList.descendants("nodename");
and that returns me a XMLlist of those nodes that exist within the xmlList I provided all well and good but now I want to only get the one node of the returned value that has the largest value.
Do I have to loop through the resulting nodes or can I get that node without a loop maybe some other xmllist function I'm not aware of ?
I have 3 different movieclips loaded to the stage. Placed on different layers when I press the button which is associated with the right movieclip I get working only the one that sits above all. The rest is being played in the back of this movieclip.
I have 2 solutions in mind, I hope you guys could help me at leas with one of them.
-I have prepared a fade out inside each movieclip but why I am new to AS3 (I used AS2 before) I can't figure out how to trigger this when another movieclip started to play.
or
-To get the actual movieclip placed on the highest level when a button is pressed.
I have this flash movie I've been working on for awhile. I've received in these forums. I have my file set to load an array of swfs. Now, though, I'm wondering how to keep it from looping. At the end of the last swf, I want the movie to go to the last swf and then just stop. Here is my code:

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...

This works fine - the array is loaded and plays through once... What changes are needed to get it to loop through the array.
how can i set an array by using a loop.. the array is contains by a data that i read from database.. so the length of carry depend of the length of data in my database..
i try to use
for (var i:int = 0; i < xxx; i++) {
products = [p[i]];
}
i never read data from database in as3.. so if i want to use the data in database for this loop,what should i do?

I'm having to make an array that has each value increase by a 10, like 10, 20, 30, etc. is there an easier way to put in those values without adding them 'manually'?
and I have another question that is related. For this same project, on the stage there will be a text box and the user will put in a number--how can that value be run through the array? like say I input the number 500, how does it find it in the array? is there a passed id, a listener and a broadcaster?
i got stucked in a problem in actionscript 2.0
there is a 2d array - arr[12][13]

View 2 RepliesI'm adding a custom cursor, and I need it to stay at the highest depth. Currently, whenever I add new movie clips to the screen, the custom mouse shows up behind the movie clips, which looks terrible. I have to add movie clips regularly during runtime, but I need the custom cursor to stay above them, just like the regular mouse would.
Here's how I'm adding the custom cursor:
Mouse.hide();
var cross= new crosshairs();
this.addChild(cross);
cross.depth = 999999;
cross.startDrag(true);
I'm trying to get a movieclip to appear at the highest depth from the library.

I recently downloaded an example of a xml slideshow from here
However I am having the hardest time trying to put another layer with an image, like a border over the slideshow. I have scoured google for solutions however anything actionscript i throw in to try and get the added layer to have the highest depth just does'nt work.
I am calling this function:
Code:
function getHighestWidth():void{
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.video_title.length(); i++) {
trace(String(myXML.video_title[i]).length);
}
}
output gives like:

I could push these numbers into array and then sort that array numeric to get the highest number, but is there an even shorter way to return the highest number from these strings?
