View 0 RepliesI'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
I have lines of code in a text field:
blah1();
blah2();
blah1();

Everything in this code works except tmpTxt2 += " "; for some reason. I've tried as well. I've tried looking for solutions online, but am getting a lot of XML and html solutions that I don't think will work for this.
I'm having a problem with a game I have been creating: when the user saves, a function copies text from a textarea to an xml document. However when the save is loaded, the textarea appends the saved text as if it had no newlines. A strange thing I found was that when I loaded the xml save file and added a character or space to part of the saved text and then load it again from the game, the newlines would be present.This has been bugging me for a while since it's the very last part I need to finish the game engine. I was wondering how I can overcome this by somehow letting flash know where to take newlines.
View 3 Replieswhen a user writes something down in a inputTextfield (in a compleet flash page) and presses enter (make a newline)how are the newlines then formated ?
with
"
" , "
" or "
" ?
is it crossbrowser ? the reason i ask is that i save the data in a Mysql database and when the data return to flash i see "" in the debugger so, i think flash uses the "" newline format, but before i add the data into the database i want to parse the data with php
I'm attempting to parse newlines from pasted text from the clipboard into a single-lined TextField. I'd like to replace the newlines with ' ' (or any other delimiter) in the text field and have it submit text with newlines (' ' delimiter would suffice, as that's automatically parsed within my message box already).
Is there any method I could use to go about this?
I'm trying to find the number of newlines in a string using the Actionscript 3.0 RegExp engine. Using the string.match function and RegExp(" ","g") does not find the newlines in a string which contains newlines. Is there something I need to add to the pattern or something else that I am missing?
View 1 RepliesI am using multi line text input in flash. Predefined text it sends as it is. I application when i edit text and send there are no new line. All text comes in single line.
View 1 RepliesI have the following composition from my designer:
So, I have to load these two HTML paragraphs from an XML file and put them in two actionscript created text fields. The text fields are multiline, wrapped and html and they are displayed just fine. Then I have to hilight one of the textfields just like in the image above so I must define a function that takes this textfield as an argument and creates a movieclip behind it. All I have to do further is draw some lines in this movieclip.
The problem is I just can't detect the newline characters in the text field so I can draw the hilights from the start of each line to the end of it.
Here is my function:
function hilight(sapou_txt){
var hilight_mc = sapou_txt._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("hilight_mc",-1);
hilight_mc._x = -5;
hilight_mc._y = sapou_txt._y;}
There would be .indexOf("") method of strings but if I use it after sapou_txt.text this has no result because, apparently, all I have there is a string without any special newline characters, just as I loaded it from the XML file, minus HTML tags.
If I use sapou_txt.htmlText apparently I get the original text including the HTML tags but, again, no special newline characters and, as you probably realised from my description above, I need both newlines from HTML (wich are not so hard to detect) and newlines caused by wrapping text in the textfield. Anyway, if I succeed in detcting newlines in the text field then I won't need the newlines in my original HTML.

View 1 RepliesI have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.
I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?
Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using
Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}
Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?

I'm writing an application in Flex / ActionScript and have a number of class member variables of type Array storing data. My question is: what's the "best" way to clear out an Array object? I noticed the ArrayCollection class has a function removeAll() which does this, but the basic Array class does not. Some possibilities I've considered are:
Iterating through the array, calling pop or shift on each element
Setting the array length to 0
Setting the member variable to a "new Array()" or "[]"
I am trying to remove an object from an array. but from some reason its not working. I am under the impression that a splice accepts 2 parameters. the position of the array. and for parameter 2 , how many to delete from then on out.I just want to delete one array so I am doing this array. splice (i,0);but it isn't working. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong. enlighten me on how it suppose to work.

View 5 RepliesI have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);

// I want to create an array, then remove a object from it.

Now, I have 5 things. Lets say I want to one of them. Lets say a random //picked one. How the hell can I do so?
I want to remove duplicates from an array. I've a command which works very fine:
arrayID = (arrayID.filter(function(e:*, j:int, a:Array) {return a.indexOf(e) == j;}, this));
This code is for normal arrays which contain only normal values (number or string).. but i've an array in my script, which has objects in that...
var arrayID:Array = [{value:1, name:"asd"},{value:2, name:"asd"},{value:3, name:"asd"},{value:1, name:"qwe"},{value:2, name:"qwe"},{value:3, name:"qwe"},{value:4, name:"asd"}];
What I want is I want to remove duplicates of "name" element! so after removing it should become:
arrayID = [{value:1, name:"asd"}, {value:1, name:"qwe"}];
I believe it is quite easy even I tried to play with the code but I could not do...
So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.
Code:

{
var deck:Array =
[Code]....
When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.
This is my code

The problem is that even tho I ask to remove the random picked number from array, it can still get repicked.

View 5 RepliesI have a box with 5 pieces of paper inside
myArray1 = new Array ("1","2", "3", "4", "5");
I am going to chose a piece at random from the box
$i = random(5);
trace(myArray1[$i]);
That piece has now been removed from the box, therefor it has to be removed from the array, now how to remove from mid-array only beginning and end, so I thought of this:
Code:
for (var $loop = 0; $loop < myArray1.length(); $loop++) {
if ($loop <> $i) {
myArray2 = new Array();
myArray2.push(myArray1[$loop]);
}}
trace(myArray2);
How I have set this up, but I am thinking if the loop index of the random piece is equal to the random number, then skip that, else, put all the other pieces in a new box. But when I trace the 2nd array, it displays the random value. Is there any way to move everything from an array into a new array WITHOUT a certain element? I mean I know you can move a certain element via its array position, any form of array.pushNOT($n, ($n+1))
How can I remove duplicate entries from an array?
