May 8, 2010Consider this for a second:
Code:
theState.stateGrowth = 0;
globalVariablesArray.push(theState.stateGrowth);
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // traces 0
theState.stateGrowth--;
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // still traces 0
Is there anyway to make it so that globalVariablesArray[0] always contains the 'new' value of theState.stateGrowth, even if it changes? In other words, store the property itself in the array, not just the value of it?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Sockets And Making A String Equal To Multiple Lined Text
Jun 24, 2010I've been making something using sockets, and I've run into a problem. The outstanding data from the socket is loaded into a string, like so:
[Code]....
To check if a sentence started with PING, I wouldn't be able to, because it will only acknowledge the first line (even though I can append all of it to a text box fine). I also tried testing scenarios with strings containing multiple lines, but found that by making a string equal to multiple lined text, it produces this error:"1094: Syntax error: A string literal must be terminated before the line break.", and I checked, I didn't miss out any speech marks.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reference Everything Else In An Array?
Feb 27, 2007I'm working on a set of buttons so that when one is rolled over, it gets larger and the remaining buttons get smaller. This however will all be housed in the rollOver function of the individual button rolled over. So I used an array and a "for loop" to encompass all of the buttons. I am able to reference the one I roll over by simply using "myButtons[i]" but I cannot figure out how to reference all the others using the array.
#include "mc_tween2.as"
var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4];
for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Overwriting - Reference/value?
Nov 14, 2008I've created two custom classes to contain data for a web forum controller flash tool:
class postClass
{
public var post_id:Number;
//plus some other variables like timestamp etc
[code]....
When I try to assign a new post to a user (by adding the post data to the postArray variable) I overwrite posts that I had already placed under other users. More specifically, if I'm posting the first post for User Y, I overwrite the first post for User X with the exact same data.I thought this was a reference vs. value passing error, but I tried to eliminate this by not copying the "postClass" objects, but assigning the data directly into the user's postArray array:
var userArray:Array = new Array();
function addNewUser(masterPostIndex,UserNumber)
{
[code]....
This all seems to work fine until I try to write a new post for a second or third user. If I trace the contents of User X's posts, they immediately become identical to the content of User Y's posts, as soon as User Y's posts are added. Later, when User Z comes along, both User X and User Y's posts are overwritten. This code is kinda long, so I didn't want to post the whole thing - but I can post any parts you're interested in, of course.
This really 'feels' like a reference-passing error (arrays are all looking at the same location in memory), but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - I'm not making a postClass object and then pushing it onto the user's postArray (I tried that too, same result).
var newPost:postClass = new postClass();
//read and assign values to newPost
userArray[userIndex].push(newPost); //
this is clearly passing the referenceI can see how the latter example would pass the reference to newPost to the user object, then when I change newPost in the next iteration (when user Y posts something), User X's data will change too. I tried to avoid this with the first set of code.

Mar 23, 2012I created an Array of lrgIcons that contains several MovieClips, they are then positioned within a second MC and pushed to a second array of lrgIconsOnStage, they are enabled as buttons and assigned an event listener (all of this works fine). Problem is, I want to know which lrgIcon is selected and react to it with an if statement. When I trace the array of lrgIconsOnStage I get [object amazonLrgIcon],[object emailLrgIcon],[object gmailLrgIcon],[object messagesLrgIcon],[object missedCallsLrgIcon] and when I trace e.target I get [object amazonLrgIcon] (depending on which item I selected, which in my mind, should trigger the code correctly, but it does nothing, Why?

var currButton:String;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reference Each Array Name To Pass Into Function?
Nov 12, 2004In AS2 I have several arrays constructed like this :

var myArray2:Array=new Array(value,value,value...)
var myArray4:Array=new Array(value,value,value...)

What I'm trying to do is use iteration to reference each array name to pass it into a function.
Like :
function doSomethingWithArray(arrayToPass){

}
//Later somewhere in For loop... :
_root["myButton"+i].onRelease=function(){
doSomethingWithArray(WHAT-THE-HELL-I-TYPE-HERE[i])

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Array Variables By Value Not Reference
Dec 11, 2006It took me hours to figure our why this was returning the wrong value - when assigning one array to another it passes by reference not Value. I need a way to force it to pass by values. e.g. copy the existing array and have the second array reference it, so i am free to modify the first array without changing the values of the second.[code]From the example above You see that in Actionscript when assigning one variable to another it does it my reference not value. So when you chage the value of one array it changes the value of the other automatically.I need to have the "test2" variable reference the "test1" array only by value so if modify "test1" the values of "test2" won't be modified.
View 7 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Get Copy Of Object In Array NOT Reference?
Feb 6, 2007In the code below, i create an object and stick it in an array, then I make a duplicate of that array. I loop though the duplicate and change the value of one of the props of the object in the duplicated array. Doing this however unintentionally changes the prop value of an object in the original array. I'm assuming that the objects in the duplicated array are mere references to the objects in the original array. Is this correct? And if so, how do i make unique copies of those objects in the original array, so that changes made to the objects in the new, duplicated array are exclusive to those objects?
I know that i could probably make a new object when duplicating the array, and then recreate each prop, assigning values from the original objects.. but this is a simplified example. The project im working on has many props for each object, so, id rather just make copies if at all possible.
Code:
var testObj:Object = new Object();
testObj.prop1 = "hello";
//
var testArr:Array = new Array();
