I've set up an XML file with names of objects that will be contained in my fla/swf library.I wish to position the objects on the stage at runtime using an XML file that can be quickly modified without having to recompile the fla/swf file. Of course, positioning can only be accomplished when the objects are instantiated and added to the stage. The problem is passing the parsed XML file name/class paring data into the var creation programaticallyThe XML file contains the object names and class: simple example follows:
<objects>
<object name="myBall" class="Ball"/>
</objects>

I'm trying to parse an XML file and create an object array from its data. The data is converted to MediaAlbum classes (class of my own). The XML is parsed correctly and the object is loaded, but when I instantiate it, the Albums array is of zero length, even when the data is loaded correctly.I don't really know what the problem could be
import Nem.Media.*;
var mg:MediaGallery = new MediaGallery("test.xml");
trace(mg.Albums.length);

I have an subclass that is called from the constructor of the main class. The subclass is loading and parsing a .xml file for images. A Event Listener is waiting for the .xml file to load and the fill the image URL's into an array. This code works fine (tested), but here is my problem.
While the subclass is called in the constructor, I also have code that should display two of the loaded images by default. However, while the xml file is parsing and filling the array, the main code already continues on and tries to display the two default images on the stage. But this causes the program to break, because the code executes before the array is filled from the .xml file.
this is the error the program spits out : TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.using trace I see that it is trying to access the array but its undefined, because it hasnt been filled yet.
Here are the code snippets, concerning that problem.
//Main class code
//the constructor of the main code, which calls the loader class for the .xml
public function GameOfGames()
{
[code]....
Is there any way to make the code in the main class wait for the array to finish filling up before the main code moves on?
I'm creating a mute/unmute button.I have it working correctly, except 1 part.I want to make my SoundChannels remove themselves when the SOUND_COMPLETE Event is fired.I'm storing my Sounds and SoundChannels in an array called "soundsPlayingArray".I want to do 1 of 2 things.Either:
1) Have my "unMuteAll" function check to see whether a song is "playing" before unmuting it.
2) Remove the Sound + SoundChannel from array (and make them null) when the SOUND_COMPLETE Event fires.
How can I figure out what the instance name of the SoundChannel that dispatched the SOUND_COMPLETE event is?[code]
I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

View 3 RepliesI have a big array which contains words and sentences. I want to find certain specific words to replace with other words. I know about the string replace(), but from what I can understand, that only works with strings. I'm looking for something similar to the str_replace function in PHP where you can search both arrays and strings, and change words in them. Does something like that exist in actionscript 3, or do I have to build some kind of loop myself, to loop through the entire array, and use the string repace() on every single string in the array?

A flash application in flash builder is currently throwing this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined.
Not telling me which variable it is that's not defined, but note there are two spaces between 'variable' and 'is'. and it gives me some more feedback as to what lines of code are having trouble, but those lines are all within the actual flash/mxml packages and not any of the files in my own project.
I suspect it's related to my php data/services, but I don't see what variable would not be defined. I'm not very familiar with debugging, so I'm not sure how to determine with it where the problem is cropping up.
[Code]...
I'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code

i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example:
var fruit:Array = ["apples", "oranges", "grapes", "oranges", "apples", "grapes"];
how can i get it to show only the number of apples in the array?
how do you find an object's index / position within an array in flash actionscript 3? I am trying to set a conditional up in a loop where, if an object's id is equal to the current_item variable, I can return its position within the array.

it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
