ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Get Button To Cycle Through Arrays
Dec 15, 2006
I am making a portfolio for my website and here is the beginning of my script.
stop();
//setting up the list of frame names for the buttons
imagelist = ["horror","legs","chair"];
//'next' button setup
next_b.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay (imagelist[0]);
}
Now I want the button to cycle through the arrays so that everytime you hit the button it goes to the next frame instance that I've named. In this case imagelist[0] is horror so next time you hit button I want it to goto imagelist[1] or 'legs.' Also I need to set a stop action for this (I am guessing loop) so that it stops at the array length.

I obviously don't understand arrays very well. I want to cycle through the content of an array by the push of a button. The dynamic text field registers the variable "aar", because when I preview this it displays "item1". When I then hit the button, the variable "i" is increased by 1, the dynamic field with the variable "i" shows this, but the dynamic field with the variable "aar" is not updated to the next array-item. This code is in the first frame, with no stop(); code in the file at all.. Why doesnt this code work?
Code:
aar = new Array();
aar[0]="item1"
aar[1]="item2"
aar[2]="item3"
[code]....

Basically, I have a FLVplayer called vidPlayer and 3 dynamic text fields that put text in when they are clicked. I want to be able to keep the button clicked in the 'over' state, and to do this I believe arrays are needed? Also, an array might be easier, as there is a lot of code to sift through. below is the code for the buttons in my flv;

I have a project where I have 80 or so invisible buttons, that when clicked, need to load a movie clip from the library into a mc on the stage, as well as cause a rollover and rollout state on a "movie clip button" that's sitting underneath the invisible button. This is in ActionScript 2.0.Here's a example of one of my button actions:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
The way it works is "invis_1_1" is the first invisible button in a group, the 1_1 refers to the button being in the first column and the first row in a grid. The "movie button" it's controlling is "col1row1" which has a "on" and "off" state. When the invisible button is clicked it loads "1_1", which is a movie clip in the library, into a holder movie clip.The dilema I'm running into is I'll need to write this code over 80 times with a slight change each time to the instance names etc. I'm sure there's a way to do this with an array but I'm still new to using arrays.

how to use an array to create a back button for something I've made in Flash. I wish it was as easy as making the back button go to the previous slide, but there are several branching scenarios where that scenario won't exactly work. I purchased a membership to Lynda.com in order to try and learn AS3, but the section they have on arrays in AS3 doesn't come close to teaching me what I need to know for this kind of operation.

I have an array file with data that has 4 sets of numbers within each array. I need all four numbers in whichever array gets chosen to be added together and divided by 4 to take the average of the 4 numbers. So fare I have this:
Code:
function onAverage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var studentIndexF:int=-1;[code]....
Right now with this it shows up as NaN whenever I hit the onAverage button.

I'm trying to make a simple demo that works.
Basically, I have 4 Mcs on the stage. The same Mc with 4 instance names. Each Mc is a hole, and on frame 2 a bee appears. The 2 states of the Mc are:
frame 1, label: 'start'.
frame 2, label: 'action'. (a bee appears).
Here's my code so far. It works without errors so far, but I hope the arrays are setup right. What I'd like to happen is:
1) When the user has clicked on 4 holes in any order, the 'welldone' box appears. code to insert: addChild(welldone);
2) Since the order is random, I have a dynamic text box at the bottom of the stage. I'd like the words: one, two, three, four.. appearing in the textfield in that order.
It could be very simple or quite complex
var welldone:MovieClip = new Welldone();
var clipArray:Array = [hex1, hex2, hex3, hex4];
for (var i:int = 0; i < clipArray.length; i++) {
[Code].....

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I have an Arrays that contains the names of MovieClips:
Code:
var MyMCs:Array = ["A","B","C","D","E"];
The actual MovieClips names are "MC_A", "MC_B", etc..., I use this method so I reuse the same Array for multiple tasks, I simply add what ever it's needed to the name to match the task at hand. On this case I add "MC_".
Then I have multiple Arrays, with the same names of the values of MyMCs. The values of each these Arrays are the names of buttons that are inside the movieclips of MyMCs:
Code:
var A:Array = ["RR","TT"];
var B:Array = ["YY","UU"];
etc...
I could add a listener to a button this way:
Code:
MC_A.YY.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, DoSomething)
My problem is that i want it to be done dynamically, using the Arrays values in a loop to add Listeners to the all buttons. The loop system is not a problem for me... my real problem is in the dynamic attribution itself.
Here is what I have:
Code:
//'i' and 'j' have previously been created
for(i=0; i<MyMCs.length; i++){
for(j=0; j<this[MyMCs[i]].length; j++){
[Code]....
I know that this is correct since I tried them separately and I can trace the proper values.
I know that my problem is in the "this" since I get an error message stating:
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
I suppose it should state something else... I tryed with "root", "parent", "child", "MovieClip"... with no luck...

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.

correct syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

I'm currently trying to teach myself how to use flash CS5 and actionscript 3 and apart from doing small amounts of programing here and there I'm a complete novice.
I have 36 photographs taken at 10-degree angles, making an object and i have each image in a different scene, with hidden buttons asigned to different parts of the object so that whenever you hover your mouse over them it provides some more information.
What I want to do is to be able to cycle through these images in the different scenes using the up and down buttons on the keyboard.

I'm using the tutorial for the Photo Gallery using XML[url]...
Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the code so that it automatically cycles through all the images in, say, 10 second intervals? So rather than keep clicking the next button, it just cycles through. And when it gets to the last image, it then cycles back through the first one.[code]...
