ActionScript 2.0 :: Search Multiple Elements In An Array?
Jun 21, 2009
I'm trying to detect multiple elements in an array. My countTicks:Array contains mostly numbers and below you can see I'm using "logical AND" to try and find them.
The problem is, once I have more than 2 "logical ANDs" (&&) the trace gets called. Which it shouldn't because the array wouldn't yet hold those numbers.
PHP Code:
countTicks = function(){
for (var i = 0; i < tickCount.length; i++){
if (tickCount[i] == 1&&2&&4&&5){
I have a small array with some elements and a big array with all the elements. I want to search in the big array the small array to see if they exist. Is there a function to do that ?
I have a tile-based platformer game under work, and I'm stuck on a problem with hitTesting:
//check all character collisions with levelHolder for(var i:int = 0; i < levelHolder.numChildren; i++) {
[Code].....
The problem here is that hitBlock only hitTests one block at a time, and when I test this: If you lean on a wall (press right arrow key) and go downwards you can go through the floor.
I need to make it so that I can test on multiple blocks at a time.
And I did try to replace hitBlock with levelHolder[i], but it gave an error saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 0 not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value. at Main/enterFrame()
I'm guessing that comes from the level array where 0 = blank block / empty space.
Long story short: I want to search a multidimensional array in AS3 for (in this example) the location of 6 strings - all of which are stored in another unrelared array. Long story long: Once I get the locations (in the multidimensional array) of each string, i then know where it's located, and can access other atributes of that object - so if i found the string "box3" is located in element [5] of my multidimensional array, i can now target: multiArray[5][3] to return the 4th item stored (keeping in mind we're starting from 0, so 3 is the 4th position).
I can get this to work once, but I'm trying to set up a for loop based on the length of my basic string storage array - this array holds (in this example) 6 instance name strings - each time my for loop loops, i need to run a search in my multdimensional array for the next consecutive instance name. Then, once I've located all of them (and store the results in a new temporary array) I can dig around in each location for the info I need.
Does one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?
I've been trying to move array elements from one array to another using the push method. The problem is that the element pushed should any longer be on the first array where it was taken from. That's where i'm stuck..
If I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array { public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo { return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example) } }
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.
i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern... {url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result... if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.
The content of the array respuesta is: Africa, Europa, Norteamerica. The content of the array resultado is: Incorrect, Correct, IncorrectI created a Array to include both of them:
var contPre:Array = [ this.respuesta, this.resultado ]; and then: for ( var row:int = 0; row & lt; contPre.length; row++ )
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;
it is possible to do search / replaces in script, text etc over multiple files? If not, is there any 3rd party software available to do it?I have hundreds of files I have to make the same change in and just wanted to find out before I have to do the mind-numbing process of going through them all.
how to do a search function accross multimple swf movies in a cd rom. The situation is like this: i m making an elearning project where i have around 17 to 18 chapters. Now, all the chapters are in flash and they are seperate movies. Now, if someone wants to search for something inside the cd, like say, they are searching for "entertica" then all the pages that is related to that word should show up.. like google search.
How should I go about creating a search function that will be able to search and retrieve a particular nod from the array.Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.
I am trying to adapt this search code to display the results one at a time.Right now it displays all the terms it finds all at once and separated by commas. How would I adapt the code so it displays one item or term at a time.
I was interested in searching through the text in a textfield and applying formatting to key words. For example, every time the word 'the' appears, apply a text format the changes it to green and 14pt.[code]...
I just did Kirupa's (excellent) XML/AS3 tutorial, and I still have one important question. How can I set up and search for an XML node with multiple entries?
You see, I would like to make a login page that retrieves the username and password from a text file. All login information is stored in an array, which looks like this:& Users =::: Name1 | username1 | passwords1 |::: Name2 | username2 | passwords2 |::: Name3 | username3 | passwords3 |I want to find in my arrayif the user is authorized. If it is authorized, I would like to send the name (Name1, for example) into a text box. How do I do?
I am working on an application in Actionscript 3.0 that is working with twitter, I got as far as getting the tweets I want in an array but now comes the hard part: I only want to show the tweets that mention another twitter user. Now I know that mentioning another user in Twitter always with an @ (like @username). So I want to show all tweets with an @ in it.
Alright, so within my final swf I need to have a function that searches, but not searches the internet (such as integrating a google or bing search). It will be searching though data that I have already collected. My data is in the form of CSV (comma separated values). I already load in the csv and all that jazz, no problem (using url loader). I put the data into an array. I can conduct the search in a few ways and I was wondering what everyone in the forum thought would be the best way. The data also gets attached as parameters to objects that I put on the stage, if that matters.It must return all things in the array that match the string typed in the search, and not just the first match it finds.
So i need to search through a multidimensional array.. here is an example of what the user will see when searching the array
First name: Last name: grade:
now what i wana do is make it so the user can search through the multi/array with the first name to find the last name and grade that goes along with it... here is my failed attempt.
ActionScript Code: var dataArray = new Array(new Array(), new Array(), new Array()); var tempArray = new Array(); var eMode = null;
I am working on an application in Actionscript 3.0 that is working with twitter, I got as far as getting the tweets I want in an array but now comes the hard part: I only want to show the tweets that mention another twitter user. Now I know that mentioning another user in Twitter always with an @ (like @username). So I want to show all tweets with an @ in it.[code]And off course that's not going to work, it only displays the tweets that match exact (all 140 chars) with the search var. After some searching I found this:[code]
i have a variable 'val' and 5 arrays 'roomNums1' - 'roomNums5' i want a script to search one of those arrays ... i can get it to search one array but i can't get it to search the array with the name 'roomNums+val'
so if val = 2 i want it to search roomNums2
at the moment I'm just telling it to trace the array that I want (for testing purposes) and the script reads:
trace (roomNums[val]);
but that takes the 3rd value in the array and traces it if val = 2
i'm not sure how to add the value of the variable val onto the end of the array's name so the correct one will be traced
I am working on a booking/appointment program for a friend. The desired end result is this;A date picker is used to select the day. A combo box is used to pick a service.Based on the service selected, a MC will load in various options/additions to that service.Another MC displays a schedule showing business hours (8:00 to 5:00) in 15 minute increments - based on both the date picker and the service selected and the option(s) selected (which determines length of time needed), available time slots are unshaded, requested but not yet approved time slots are shaded color 'a' (let's say medium gray), and booked time slots (after being approved) are shaded color 'b' (let's say red).I have the date picker working. I started a combobox which works, and controls the timeline of the options MC - where I am currently hard coding options as radio buttons and/or check boxes. I would much rather have this dynamically generated instead of picking a frame of a MC with hard coded choices. I haven't started on the scheduler yet.
I'm working on a project that has multiple movie clips and I want to have three buttons, you press button1 and it displays mc1, then you press button2 and it displays mc2 and also hides mc1. same with others so if mc1 is on and you press button3 it will turn mc1 off and turn mc3 on. so any combination only turns on its respective mc.
how to do this without an extraneous amount of code. It will eventually have over 20 buttons, so I want to keep code clean if possible.
i am building a little widget that allows a user to type in keyword(s) into one input field and then a zip code into another
when the user clicks submit, it plugs them into the search url
i have it working for one input field, but i am not sure how to append the script for the second field...what would i need to change to the below script to add a second field into that query string?
How do you empty an array. I want the array complete empty, so the array length =0. I have tried this code, but that doesn�t take away all elements in an array, just a few.
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) { myArray.pop(); }
