ActionScript 3.0 :: Push Multiple Strings Into An Array, And Some Of The Strings Are The Same?
Aug 24, 2009I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Numbers In Array To Not Be Strings
Feb 27, 2012[code]I have information coming in from an XML page. One of the childnodes is an ID. The numbers of the IDs go from 29 to 40. I'm trying to have 6 numbers randomly grabbed from the list, so I made a function to find a random number between a given "Low" and "High" numbers, then another to continuously add 1 if it's already one of the other numbers(I'm pretty sure the method of that part, I could have taken a short cut.)Where it says to trace the two numbers near the top of the find5RandomNumbers function, they trace 29 and 40. But near the bottom where it's told to trace all 6 items, they come back as "NaN."[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A "shuffle" Function To Randomize An Array?
Jun 23, 2009when the line of code "koan.shuffle();" is commented out swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc are loaded properly into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage, albeit not randomized. (Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf.) Why does "koan.shuffle();" not only fail to randomize the array, but, break the entire loading process? Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = Math.floor(Math.random())(ivar+1);

Jun 24, 2009The more I get into haXe and cpp the more I'm wondering this about as3. Iteration in as3 is easy in comparison to those languages.

Why does it return a string?

I am then going through the characters to find specific situations in the way the strings are handled in the array. One example is if I have a string like - "this is a string, yeah" - then I make sure not to count the comma in the string because it is between quotes from that string. Anyhow In the following function I have some how lost my spaces in the results.Instead of getting "this is AS3" I am getting "thisisAS3". Spaces seem to only be available in the strings that have quotes.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Strings In Array To References To MovieClips
Sep 26, 2009I have an array containing references to movieclips like this
ActionScript Code:
positionsArray = [posi1, posi2, posi3,posi4,posi5];
tooltipArray = [tooltipProy, tooltipAsig, tooltipRota, tooltipActi];
[Code]....
And the result is: tooltipArray = ["tooltipProy", "tooltipAsig", "tooltipRota", "tooltipActi"]; which doesn't work because the array no longer contains references to MovieClips but strings
2. NOT surrounding the name of my movieclip with ""
on (release) {
_root.tooltipArray.push(tooltipProy);
}
Which gives an undefined value
How can I "transform" the strings in the array to references to MovieClips?
