ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Array To Store Names
Oct 21, 2010I have an array called mclipArray with the names of movie clips stored in it as follows:
mclip0, mclip1, mclip2, mclip3....and so on until mclip99.
Later in my code I want to run a loop using "i" as a counter variable from 0 to 99 and then depending on the value of "i" add various movie clips to be inside the movie clip that corresponds to "i". For example if I want to add a movie clip called "someMovieClip" as a child of my movie clip called "mclip6" and my loop has been running and "i" is now equal to 6, how can I use "i" to reference the correct index stored in the array.
mclipArray[i].addChild(someMovieClip);
The above code doesn't work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array That Creates The Mc's Names?
Apr 19, 2005I have an array that creates 7 mc clips with names.I'm trying to make each one of those peices clickable.When clicked each peice will slide over to the far left "barrier_mc" and stop.Actually not true, the one closest to the "barrier_mc" will stop at the barrier and from then on each piece will stop when it hits the one beside it (kinda like a 7 car fender-bender). This isnt the problem im trying to work through right now, although i will in the near future.
What im trying to figure out is the array that creates the mc's names them like the following "" infoBar"+i+"_mc"". What im trying to do is call that in a function so that i dont have to type in each of the 7 mc names manual I.E (infoBar0_mc) you'll see my function at the bottem in the "function pieceStop"of the pasted code.
Code:
var list:Array = ["piece1", "piece2", "piece3", "piece4", "piece5", "piece6", "piece7"];
var startingX:Number = list_mc._x;
var bottom:Number = 950;[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Array Instance Names

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use An Array To Record Names Of Instances?
Jul 8, 2011I've continued with it and have hit another hurdle. When I run the loop to load in the XML images, inside the same loop I add instances of a "thumb" movieclip onto the stage. It's just a little graphic that I want to use as thumbnail buttons. So for example, if the XML loads in 3 images, 3 instances of the "thumb" mc also load onto the stage. I currently give then unique names in the loop but that name gets overwritten each time the loop runs. How can I record each name of the instance? I'm guessing an array but how do you populate an array with a loop?
Then, I'm hoping if those names are recorded in an array, then I can reference the different thumb instances (so they can do different things with the images) and also use removeChild on them when I close the gallery and load in the next gallery. Here is my code so far,

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Array Names In A For Statement?
Nov 27, 2007I am making an XML multiple-gallery flash site for a client. The chunk of code I am having trouble with is populating the thumbmails section of the site with all the pictures in all the galleries. The image paths are brought in and stored in an array - one array for each gallery's image paths. The problem is that when I try to cycle through all the images to put them into movie clips (using a fore statement) I am having trouble dynamically addressing the arrays. More specifically, flash interprets them as strings, and does not evaluate the variables in them.
Code:
function images(i){
var temp:Number = eval("g"+i+"im.length");
for (var r:Number=1; r<=temp; r++){
[Code]....
The argument images() takes is the gallery number (from another function). I have tried using eval() and trace to see what the problem is. Basically I can make it output the correct STRINGS, but flash will not convert the variables in the strings! So in the URL (first arg) of loadMovie it is seeing something like "g2im[3]" as a string, and not evaluating it to the value at index 4 of that array.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Using An Array To Store Function Names For Use Later?
Sep 15, 2011I am writing my quest .as files for my RPG that I am making. At the present moment I am having issues with certain commands and how best to accomplish them. This pertains to my conversation system that I have in place. Currently, the conversations are stored as an array, with each index in the array representing a different "page" of the conversation. Now for my quests, at the end of each conversation (the last index in the array), I want a certain function to occur (receiving the quest, updating the quest, completing the quest). So my thought is to have a separate array with the same number of elements as the conversation array, and when the conversation text is updated to reflect the next page, it also will access the function array with that given index, and therefore only on the last page of the conversation will the function be executed.
Code:
var a:Array = [func0, func1, func2];
function func0():void{
trace(0);[code].....
Now my question is this, when is the code actually executed? When it is placed within the array, or when it is accessed with the for statement?

Putting Objects (Instance Names) Into Array In Flash CS4
Sep 15, 2009I worked again on a new Project and stumbled while trying Arrays. I have two cubes(cube_mc, cube2_mc) in my scene.

var gravity:Number = .2
var moving:Array = new Array(cube_mc, cube2_mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gravityFUNC);
function gravityFUNC(event:Event):void{

moving.y+=gy;
};
I was trying to put both cubes into the array, and then affecting the whole Array with gravity. When I test it nothing happens, and it shows no errors.
