ActionScript 2.0 :: Stopping Last Element In Array Incriment?

Mar 30, 2004

I've got code that takes text from an array and places it into a textbox. The first spot in the array is supposed to be null to correspond with the first section of the swf which shouldn't have any text. But after navigating through the different array elements the movie gets confused and doesn't recognize that the first slot should be empty and shifts things out of order.

What seems to be happening is when you are clicking the buttons to go to the sections there is a variable that is either incrimented or decrimented so that it can be used as the index for the array. It would seem that this variable is not being kept track of properly, as when you are at the end of the Array and there is no more sections you can still press the button that would incriment this variable and thus move to an element in the array that isn't there (being array.length + 1 or -1 depending). so what is needed is some sort of condition that checks to see if this variable is infact at the last element in the array and if so not to incriment itself.

[Code]...

I've been struggling with this for some time now, and had previously posted a thread about this earlier on but it's since been deleted because there have been no responses and I wanted to try to present the problem a little clearer.

Here is the array code. This code is part of a loaded external movie.

[AS]
portfolioSection([" ", "section 02", "section 03", "section 04"]);

And this code is in the main movie that talks to the array in the external file.

[AS]
var aSectionTxt;
var iSectionIndex = 0;
_global.portfolioSection = function (a) {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Text Into Textfield And Creating New Line For Each Array Element?

Oct 4, 2006

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.

for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A Element To An Array With Array.push

Mar 14, 2005

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far

[Code]...

Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stopping Movieclips In An Array?

Jul 16, 2010

I created 6 movieclips and imported them into my main file. They each play a short animation when clicked. I added an event listener and a .stop() for each movieclip.Instead of writing all the repetitious code, I want to put them all into an array. The question is, how do I get the movieclips to stop so they don't play before clicked on?

var myClips:Array = [a_mc, b_mc, c_mc, d_mc, e_mc, f_mc];
myClips.stop(); //I tried this but it didn't work

ActionScript 2.0 :: Add Element To Array When It Is Not In There Already?

Jun 22, 2010

This is for a small RTS prototype I'm working on for some fun, but I've hit a snag.

For examples sake, I've got two arrays, activeAgents and houseArray. A number of movieclips (player controled units/agents) are stored in activeAgents and houseArray is used to store any agent that is "inside" the house.

If an agent in activeAgents hitTests the house that houseArray belongs to and the agent ISN'T already in the houseArray, then I want to add the agent from activeAgents INTO the houseArray.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Remove Element From Array?

Jun 16, 2009

I 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 ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Defining An Element In An Array?

Oct 4, 2011

I have an array, created as:

ActionScript Code:
myArray:Array = new Array(10)

pretty much just saying there is 10 elements in it. I define each function as "land", for example. Then in the same function I redefine a random element as "water".

(It is a bit more complex, this is simplified!)

Upon executing this I get the error:

ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

if I put the second bit in a new function (the random water part), there is no problems and it executes perfectly. Obviously I cant define an element twice in the same function.

i have a multidimensional array of an unknown length n. If I know the indices of the element I want in the multidimensional array, is there a way to dynamically construct a method to get at the element?

So for example,

array[0][1][2][3][4][5][6]

i need to be able to construct a syntax statement, such that: array[0][1][2]....[n]

something like:

var arrStatement;
for(var i = 0; i < indices.length; i++){
arrStatement += "[" + indices[i] + "]";
