ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A Multiple Row Menu With Arrays?
Sep 18, 2007
I'm trying to make a navigation of sorts using a bunch of thumbnails there will be 3 columns and 3 rows.I have made an array of images, created a button with an empty movie clip in it. And I am attempting to make a 3 by 3 grid of buttons based off the array... Here is my code.
cubicThumbs = ["Bracelet_Nugget_1_thmb.jpg","Earring_Nugget_1_thm b.jpg","Necklace_Nugget_1_thmb.jpg","Earring_Nugge t_1_thmb.jpg","Necklace_Nugget_1_thmb.jpg"];

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.

I'm creating an animated (in and out) drop down menu. I've managed to get the menu to open when the user mouses over, with the buttons all selectable. However I can't seem to find an efficient method of making the drop down menu close whenever the mouse is not over the menu. Actions:

I am programing with AS2 so here goes my question: I want to create an algorithm that looks up an array and finds the nearest integer in it. Lets say i have different numbers like 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and i want to find the nearest member to 6 from those numbers. How should i build the algorithm. So far i'm using two arrays and two inside loops, but cant find the right way to make it.

I'm having trouble targeting elements of an array using AS3. I have five buttons in an array named botons.
var botons:Array = [boton_1, boton_2, boton_3, boton_4, boton_5];
Each button goes to a different page, but they all are on the same layer like navigation bar. When page 1 is visited button 1 should be invisible and the others visible. When on page 2, button 2 should be invisible but all others visible.
I used the following to make the entire array invisible and it works.
for(var i:int; i<clips.length;i++){botons[i].visible=false;}
How can I make each button invisible when visiting its page, but make the rest visible?

I'm having trouble working with buttons in an array. I would like to target specific button and make it invisible while the others remain visible. Each buttons goes to a page (first, second, third, etc.). There are five buttons named button1... button5. I'm using AS3 in timeline.
Problem: when I click a button, it doesn't get invisible and I get this message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at subtraction_fla::MainTimeline/goPNext()
Here is my script:
stop();
var button= [button1, button2, button3, button4, button5];
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);

In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?

Let's say I had an AS file that populates a list menu in my movie from ListOneArray.That list menu is used as a navigational tool and when the user clicks on a list item it would take them to, say, frame 2.On frame two I would like that list menu now to have a different list from an array in the AS file called listTwoArray.What would be the best way to go about that? Or, if I have the list menu populated from the AS listOneArray and the user moves to frame 2 by the navigation, can I on frame two access the listOneArray in the AS and change the data?

I'm building a menu with action script, the menu has an interval, so the items follow after each other. This is not a real problem. But the submenu is. I want to build it the same way, with the interval. But the menu array contains, some years, and with a loop a go trough this array and flash builds it with the items of the array. The submenu array, contains the quantity of the year, so the quantity of subbuttons.. But i can't fix it to use the number in the array as quantity of subitems. here is the code:

it's a scrolling list with a series of movieclips within it which are each different items. When you click one of the items, that movieclip that you have clicked runs a little function which tells it to move 10 pixels to the right smoothly. It also checks to see if any of the other movieclips have been previously selected, and if they have, it runs a function that tells them to move back 10 pixels to the left.

I am trying to load 2 arrays. The first array is a dynamic navigation menu (linkName). The second array is the corresponding title that is loaded in a dynamic textfield. For example if link1 is clicked I want the dynamic textfield to display title1 from the array if link2 is click display title2 and so on. As of right now the dynamic navigation loads fine I just cant seem to figure out a good way to do this without writing a bunch of if statements. I would like it if the programming assumed the that the length of the title array is always going to be the same length as the link array and it finds the corresponding index.
var linkName:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var pageTitles:Array=["title1","title2","title3","title4"];
var menuHolder:Sprite = new Sprite;
addChild(menuHolder);
// loading the navigation bar

I have been making a game and have run into some problems I want to make a hitTestObject between multiple arrays, i have tried something like this:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i].y -= 10; //Moves object up
for(var a:Number = 0; i < array2.length; a++)
[Code]....
When i run it, some object will detect the collision and will output "hit", but some will ignore that. I have also noticed that some object in the array1 stop running the move code (array1[i].y -= 10) after i have added another array.

I am attempting to search multiple arrays (over 300) for a specific value which will then determine if that question is to be loaded. I have used these over the years as the quizzes simply loaded questions randomly. Now I am appempting to move this into a computer adaptive test format. I have most everything worked out except for this part which is the key to the project.
What I have is 300+ arrays like the ones below. Once a student answers a question either correctly or incorrectly a difcal value is assigned. It is that value I need to search for to determine which question to load.
For example if the student answered a question incorrectly and the difcal was calculated as -4.03 (difcal values are always in array element[0]) I would need to search the all arrays to find that value and then load that array into the question function.
Code:
var q1:Array = new Array();
q1[0] = -4.03;
q1[1] = 0.57;

I just have another really quick question about Arrays, this time about Sorting them. I have just re- written my code to work for matching values from 2 arrays and then adding them to the screen.
however it seems as my matching is way off, it matches the items that are at the same index, which is not always the case
The output for the matches, which should be side by sideis as follows (which is incorrect) Therfore i am trying to find values at diffrent index levels

I tried to sort the Array, but it seems as though the array, cannot be sorted the way i want it. I simply wanted to sort it Acending, but changing it to lowecase would not do what i needed it to do.
This is the code, matchInfo function should do all the work
package {
import flash.display.*;
import fl.transitions.*;

I have two arrays - one for movieclip buttons and one for images. The idea is - rollover a button and it loads it's respective image. I have a loop for the button array that pretty much loads each button and creates a rollover state for it. At the moment it just traces what button the mouse is over. The problem is trying to load the correct image based on that button. The way it is now - it will only load the same image for all the buttons.
Code:
tagPosition = 0;
viciousImgs = new Array("vaI1_mc", "vaI2_mc", "vaI3_mc", "vaI4_mc", "vaI5_mc");
viciousButs = new Array("va1_mc", "va2_mc", "va3_mc", "va4_mc", "va5_mc");
vicious = new Array("vicious_mc", "uTitle_mc", "uTxt_mc", "uButs_mc", viciousImgs, viciousButs);

I'm currently trying to program a flash game using actionscript 3.0 where users would step on insects. Basically, I added multiple instances of insects movieclip and remove them by using hitTest function. When the mouse_mc. hitTestObject(insect), there were times the insect was not removed.
Here are the errors I encountered:
Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/swapChildren()
at SteppingGame/hitTest()
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at insectmc/onEnterFrameEvent_SF()
Also, is there anyway I could simply my code like creating multiple arrays of movieclip insectmc?
Here's my as3 code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?

- I tried, when I first started making this site, to load all of the artwork images into an array and then copy the array before resizing them for their specific functions (being seen as thumbnails or as full size pics.) Unfortunately, I ran into the well known issue of Array cloning only creating a pointer to the same group of items. I tried the newArray = oldArray.slice() trick, but it didn't seem to work. Finally, I just loaded the images twice into two separate arrays, and it works, but I hate this solution. Anyone got a better one?
- I'm trying to maintain some sort of connection between the two sets of Arrays so that, for example, when someone clicks on Thumbnail 15, Fullsize Image 15 will open up but I couldn't find anything that worked. Renaming the Instance Name dynamically didn't seem to work and adding an Instance Variable dynamically doesn't seem possible either as I can't make the Class I am working with (Sprite, in this case) dynamic ahead of time. I'm sure there's a simple method for this.opens up, the different animations seem to interfere with each other and slow each other down (they also seem to get interference from the time taken to load the image Arrays.)

I'm having a problem parsing a JSON file in AS3. Im trying to parse multiple JSON arrays, but don't really know how to get to the next after accessing the first one. My JSON file looks like:

"place": "NEW YORK CITY"
},
{"id": 2675,
"place": "WASHINGTON (DC)"

I can get the data from the first array, but how would I structure my code so that I could iterate through 2 or more "term" arrays?

So im recreating my ear training program with more effective coding so i can add on to it. original i did.
//88 C8
var mp3Req88:URLRequest = new URLRequest("88.mp3");
var mp3_88:Sound = new Sound();
mp3_88.load(mp3Req88);
I basically got 88 sound files (each note of the piano) doing this code 88 times for each sound. with mathamatical equations made my ear training program.
Is there a simpler way to import these sounds in a loop of some sort so i dont have to do this 88x for the piano and however many times for the other instruments i will be including?
thus var i have tried things along the lines of below with failure
var i:int;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var pianoMP3Req+i:URLRequest=new URLRequest("piano/"i+"mp3");
