ActionScript 2.0 :: Tracking A Values Position In An Array?
Feb 23, 2010
So I've got a button that spawns a block and when pressed spawns another to the right of that block, if pressed again the process repeats. These blocks are all placed into an Array. When the user click on the blocks, they are removed.I would like the blocks to track their position in the Array so I can splice out the value on click and all the other "building spots" will move to their Array position * building spot width, so when a block is cut out, the others all move a long and remove that space.Since Arrays aren't my strong point, I wish to see what you think would be the best option here. Now keep in mind I am not a Flash Pro, so the way I have coded may not be the best, but I like to think I try Here is the code currently:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load){
}

So I'm trying my hands on some full browser flash and after reading a couple of tuts I wrote this
Code:
#include "mc_tween2.as"
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stageListener = new Object();[code]...
The trace's are because it didn't work like I thought it would.Etc the middle movieclip didn't center itself but rather positioned itself seemingly how it pleased so I traced its x position and the var stageXcenter position and like suspected it shows different values.

What's the correct way to track mouse position, from Adobe Flash, when someone has: Started a drag within the Flash application (a MOUSE_DOWN event), Dragged the mouse outside the app or even the browser window (a MOUSE_MOVE event), and Released the mouse button (a MOUSE_UP event)? For example (imagine Stack Overflow is a Flash application):
Within the app, I'm able to track the mouse X and Y positions with a MOUSE_MOVE event listener, but I lose it when it goes outside of the browser... So, how do I track the position of the mouse no matter where it goes? For a good example, try Google Finance. Try dragging the chart around; it'll still drag around if you move your mouse out of the browser window, and the mouse will be outside of the browser when you release it.
Also, check out KOKO KAKA; If you click on the scrollbar (make the browser window really small) and move outside of the browser window, the scroll bar moves just like a real one would. I believe both only work because the MOUSE_DOWN event "captures" the mouse, allowing the Flash application to track the position of the mouse even when it is outside of the browser.

Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...
here is the thing i want:::
I have array values like this,,
array1 = [23, 49, 40, 239, 20, 80, 39,49,120, 24, 31,41];
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....

I'm trying to keep track of several movie clips with an array, but I'm running into some issues. I'm making a shooter game that requires hitTesting a list of projectiles and removing the projectiles from the list when they leave the screen or hit stuff. I've got the projectiles being added to the stage with this:
[Code]...
At first that appeared to work fine, but the bullets aren't always removed in the order they were created, so when I remove one from the array in this manner, it shifts the index numbers for all the ones that came after it back one, thus making their "num" variable no longer correspond to their index number; so when they try to splice themselves, they end up splicing the wrong ones. (Like, if I removed [3], the bullet that was in [4] is now in [3], but it doesn't know that, so it tries to splice [4], which now refers to whatever was in [5], and so on.) What's the correct way to handle this kind of situation? I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I haven't been able to figure out a solution.

I've been reading through all the various threads related to the drawing API and saving drawings. About a hundred times I've seen mention of "log mouse positions into an array" and stuff like that, but I can't find any clear and simple examples of how to do this. Let's take a very simple use of the drawing object to do freeform drawing. What is the AS to capture the mouse XYs as the user draws and put that into an array. I can't figure out how to get Flash to keep updating things as I go, it invariably grabs the fist point and that's it.
Let's use the most basic drawing example I can find:
[AS]_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
line.lineStyle(0,0x000000,100);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
}}
_root.onMouseUp = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}[/AS]
Where/what gets added to just capture all those _xmouse and _ymouse?

I've got two rather large arrays which I put a bunch of movieclips into and I'm just stumped on how I can possibly track if a specific movieclip in the array is right or wrong. Determing right/wrong is something I need to be able to set and then check again later when a function getItem is called.
Code: Select allvar mcArray:Array = new Array();
mcArray = [movieClip01, movieClip02, movieClip03];
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getItem);

I just quickly made this example code because the actual file's code is much longer and contains a bunch of other code that is irrelevant to this issue.
Code: Select allvar mcArray:Array = new Array();
mcArray = [movieClip01, movieClip02, movieClip03];
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getItem);
function getItem(e:MouseEvent):void {

I'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?

anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

when i run get lastIndexof for an array I get returned the the size of the array instead of the position here is the code:[code]but instead of returning the last index of it before the current index, it returns the current index (or jus the array length). help!!! it is my first time using lastIndexOf so I am probably using it incorrectly.ps this does not include some of the function run (i know i am passing a value which it does not look like i am using, but i know that part of the code works)

So I have this if statement, the goal of which is to test whether or not any of the values in an array (all of which are numeric) are equal to the value of a certain variable. How might I do this? I know how to make the array, and how to set the values in the array, and how to use any one of them on its own (myArray[somevaluegoeshere]), but how do I use all of them at once? Is there a way to do this? Should I not use an array and instead use some other better way of which I do not know?

I have 15 sets of x and y values, that should be stored together. I was thinking I could have an array, holding 15 other arrays, each holding the x and y value? Is that a valid way to do this? Also, is there a way to create those arrays holding the x and y, dynamically, so they just get numbered?
MainArray[
subArray[x1, y1];
subArray[x2, y2];
[Code]...
Obviously, above is not correct AS. Is this even a way to do this? Are there other much better ways?
