Why nested loops must be used. I have this code that I took from the Training from the source book:
v = 0;
i = -1;
while(++i < 2){
j = -1;
while(++j < 2){
[Code] .....
What I don't understand is why I have to have this to create two columns couldn't I just change the while (++i < 2){ to
while(++i < 4){ instead.
I have the following function but despite using the break statement, it doesn't seem to be stopping after it finds a match in the array:

I'm trying to build a musicians site. I'm populating menus, the musicians page, and some other stuff with XML. getting all the attributes (of the artists CD) for each artist. Here's one artist entry in my XML file:
Code:
<ARTISTS>
<ARTIST>
<NAME>AP.9 FED-X</NAME>
[Code]....
Yeah, I don't know how to handle several CDs for each artist. I can see I need a nested loop, but do I store those CD attributes in an array, or create a variable like some_mc["CDLIST"+j] ???
Then I gotta think about building the discography movieclip. I'll worry about that later. What I got working so far is at [URL]
The code is supposed to receive one system id and then scan around that system in all directions, with each direction having its own length. It is like scanning a rectangle around that system where 9*9 = 81 systems.The code works very well; but the problem. I get 8 duplicate results and there is a complete row missing from the results. The one just above the middle row. I think the problem is in the topsystem integer but I don't know what is wrong with it.[code]if you watch the part of the code that has if statements. this part handle the edges.specially zero and 10k. about what i want to do. think about it like a 9*9 dots field in rectangular shape. has 9 rows and 9 columns. each dot has an id from 1 to 10k. the input is the id of the dot in the center of the field (column 5, row 5). as now i know this centeral dot id. i want to loop through the whole field to find the other dots ids using topsystem(the distance between the centeral dot to the upper edge).downsystem (the distance between central dot to the lower edge). leftsystem (the distance between central dot and left edge).rightsystem (the distance between central dot and right edge).the code is working fine but there is 8 missing ids that replaced by 8 duplicated ids.
View 1 RepliesI have a program where I have around 100 LatLng (latitude longitude) points, and i have to get the largest distance between any 5 of them but you can only go forward (so if latlng_1 is the point number 5 latlng_2 can only be point number 6,7,8,....,100).
<-- skip the colored thing if its unclear
So I calculate the distance like this:
Code:
Select allfor(i=0;i<points_num;i++) {
for(j=i;j<........
// three more for loops
// and than calculate the distance between all five points and compare if it is larger than previous...
The problem is that the program stops responding for about 2 minutes to calculate this and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to calculate this thing faster? Yes I can reduce the point but than the thing I want to get is less accurate and even if I reduce the points I still want the calculation to be as fast as it can be.
why code snippet #1 works, but code snippet #2 doesn't? i thought the array operator would work in this case...
CODE SNIPPET #1:
Code:
for (i=0;i<products.length;i++)
{
// XML data code
for (j=0;j<prodItems.length;j++)

View 1 RepliesShouldn't flash detect these before running the script and crashing and having to force quit and restart (and flash startup takes a while)? Like just give an error: infinite for loop or something? And this happened to me a bunch when working with for loops within for loops, when I accidentally used the same variable for both loops, so of course it never ended and crashed flash.

I'm pulling data from an xml doc and created 4 XMLLists to hold the children of the 4 different elements. Inside the onLoad function, I created a series of for loops to go through each list. But Flash stops after going through the first two. I'm very puzzled by this. I got around it by creating a 2nd onLoad function for the last 2 lists, but should I be using a different loop? Curious.. I inserted a break after the first 2 and then the 3rd loaded up...

I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller!)

We have a For Loop that duplicates and movie Clip.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
duplicateMovieClip(enemy,"enemy"+counter,counter+1 00);
}
On a hit test we want to remove all the duplicated movieclips. I acomplished this using a new scene with a frame action contianing another For Loop and a remove movie clip action. Hit test true move to new scene play frame action.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
removeMovieClip("enemy"+counter);
}
This worked.Is there a way to put a stop of the For Loop or Put a stop on the Duplicate movie clip?
I am trying to make a sound crossfading between the loops (an example would be: same as in a "Winamp" media player you toggle the Crossfading function in a Modern Skin and select a duration of it). Say I got a loop of 10 seconds, altho it is not perfect as its cut of the song without a proper editing tool. Any way I could accomplish it by using the ActionScript?

I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.

I have a five mouse click functions, each with a different navigateToURL link, and each one appears on a different key frame.

Or is there a better way to do this?Code from one of my keyframes:
