ActionScript 2.0 :: XML, Looping Through An Array?

Feb 1, 2008

I have an XML document that loading into Flash. I have a dynamic text box on the stage that I am writing the XML to. My problem is, I have 6 group names that I am pulling from my XML file and I want to write each one of them to the text box and add a line break to the end. This is my code:

var group= this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=2; i<group.length; i++){
divBox['divInfoLinks'].htmlText =

[Code].....

When I trace [i] it lists all 6 names, however my text box only shows the last name in the array.

Looping Through Array Of Variables?

Jan 27, 2010

Why doesn't AS2 interpret these variable as it steps through? Everything works if I write it out longhand and do not use a loop, but if I try to condense things by using an array, variables such as _root.myTargets[i]._x are not interpreted properly.

Code:

myTargets = new Array('shoot','shoot2');
for (var i:Number=0; i<myTargets.length; i++) {
if ((_root._xmouse > (_root.myTargets[i]._x - 30)) and
(_root._xmouse < (_root.myTargets[i]._x + 50)) and

i've narrowed down the problem to being the variable 'current'. If I replace the dynamic part to the string '_A_1' it works. That is why I entered the trace just above to see what its is checking against. I can see that they are both the same, but flash thinks otherwise.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Looping Through Array With A Catch

Dec 24, 2010

I've got no idea how to phrase this, but is there a simple/efficient way to do something like this that doesn't feel hacky:?

[Code]...

I realize I can just trade the index number in the brackets for a function that returns the corrected index (after it works through the end of beginning of the loop as needed), but what's the best or most efficient way to do this? The damn 0 as the first position in an array really confuses me sometimes when trying to work these things out.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Looping A Function Indefinitely Through Each Array Value

Jun 4, 2010

I am trying to loop my function through my array values continuously. I'm only able to get it to loop through one array value as intended. The long term goal here is the create a grid of movie clips that continuously change colors in random order (from preselected values). I'm new to actionscript and I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I'm unsure of how to send the function to all items in the array, and loop them all continuously, yet with random color patterns for each.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Problem With Hit Detection/looping Through Array

Oct 14, 2011

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help, I'd be stuck all the time without these forums.

I have a custom class(Ball) and a .FLA. Ignore the custom class, it works fine, having a problem within my main FLA.

I'm getting repeated "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Environment_fla::MainTimeline/hitTest()".

I understand that this error means I'm asking it to reference something that's no longer there. I just can't figure out why I'm getting it, and how better to hitTest many objects in an array.

My game involves creating a bunch of balls that will fall into buckets. I need to keep track of how many touched the buckets, how many fell off the screen, and remove each accordingly.

Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Here is the code from my main FLA

[as]var ballTimer:Timer = new Timer(200);
var changeTimer:Timer = new Timer(50000);

ballTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, throwBall, false, 0, true);
ballTimer.start();
changeTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeColor);
changeTimer.start();

//Environment variables
var gravity:int = 1.5;
var friction:Number = .85;
var color:int = 2;

//score variables
var YellowScore:int = 0;
var BlackScore:int = 0;

var tBall:Ball = new Ball(new Point(mouseX, mouseY), new Point(Math.random() + Math.random()*5 + Math.random()*8), gravity, friction);
var ballArray:Array = new Array();

function throwBall(e:TimerEvent):void {

var tBall:Ball = new Ball(new Point(mouseX, mouseY), new Point(Math.random() + Math.random()*5 + Math.random()*8), gravity, friction);

tBall.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hitTest);
tBall.gotoAndStop(color);
addChild(tBall);
ballArray.push(tBall);
}

function changeColor(e:TimerEvent):void {

if (color == 1) {
color = 2;
return;
}
if (color == 2) {
color = 1;
}
}

function hitTest(e:Event) {
trace(ballArray.length);
for (var i = 0; i < ballArray.length - 1 ; i++) {

if ((ballArray[i].hitTestObject(YellowBucket1) && ballArray[i].currentFrame == 2)) {
YellowScore += 1; //trace(YellowScore); trace("Space");
ballArray[i].parent.removeChild(ballArray[i]);
ballArray.shift();
break;

}
else if ((ballArray[i].hitTestObject(YellowBucket1) && ballArray[i].currentFrame == 1)) {
YellowScore -= 1;
}
else if ((ballArray[i].hitTestObject(BlackBucket1) && ballArray[i].currentFrame == 2)) {
BlackScore -= 1;
}
else if ((ballArray[i].hitTestObject(BlackBucket1) && ballArray[i].currentFrame == 1)) {
BlackScore += 1; trace("BlackScore");
}

else if (ballArray[i].y > stage.stageHeight || ballArray[i].x > stage.stageWidth) {
trace("cleanUp");
ballArray[i].parent.removeChild(ballArray[i]);
ballArray.shift();

}

}
updateScore();

}

function updateScore() {

BlackBucket_txt.text = String(BlackScore);
YellowBucket_txt.text = String(YellowScore);

}

XML :: Looping And Pulling Options Into Multidimensional Array

Jun 16, 2011

Here is my xml structure:
<question>
<q1> Who coined the term "Clinical Psychology"? </q1>
<answer> Lightner Witmer </answer>
<option1> Stanley Hall </option1>
<option2> Lightner Witmer </option2>
<option3> Henry P. David </option3>
</question>

I can loop through fine and pick out the questions and answers, then throw them into separate arrays. The problem I'm having is looping and pulling the options into a multidimensional array like such:
var one:Array = new Array( 3 );
one[0] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];
one[1] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];
one[2] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];

Actionscript 3 :: Get An Array Of Text Elements Without Looping?

this is part of an XML file I retrieve using AS3 E4X:

<links>
<link>
<label>Versions</label>
<href>http://mylink1</href>

I want to retrieve the values of labels, so I write:

document.links.link.label.text();

This returns VersionsConfigurations. I need this as Array ([Versions, Configurations]) but I would like not to use a loop. Is there any other way?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Looping Array - Both Back And Forward?

Jan 22, 2007

I'm working off the XML photo gallery tute found here: xml_flash_photogallery.htm. My wish is to have the array loop forward and backwards, so by clicking next you will eventually get back to the first value, and if you keep clicking previous you will eventually see the last value in the array.

I found some Scotty code (first line in the nextImage function) that enabled this function with the next button, but I can't figure out how to use it for the previous button.Here's the code:

previous_btn.onRelease = function() {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Speed Test For Looping Through Array

Dec 23, 2009

On the PHP site it was advised to do for loops in a certain way that I have not seen on any recommendations for AS3. I think I found about a 10 times speed increase and I thought I better check that I was not missing something (?) before going through my code and changing it. Very simple and fairly self explanatory (in the faster one the array.length is not calculated every time I think):

Code:
import flash.utils.getTimer;
var time:Number;
var myarray:Array = new Array();
myarray.length=2000000;
time=getTimer();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Text Banner - SetInterval For Array Looping

Feb 7, 2009

Actually, I'm HTML-coder, so I've recently confronted by difficulties with Flash. Its making the text banner. Flash needs to get variables from the following 'vars.htm' file:
myVar01=the_first_textDDDsecond_textDDDand_surely_ the_third_text&myVar02=DDD&myVar03=3
Where 'myVar01' contains the text, 'myVar02' is the text delimiter's look and 'myVar03' is the showing delay of texts. In truth, I've never seen the ActionScript before.

So, what I've done regarding that all:
ActionScript Code:
var data_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
data_lv.load("vars.htm");
data_lv.onLoad = function() {
[Code] .....

The problem is, the 'trace' shows me correct array looping but in Flash I see there's only one passage through the 'texts' array. But I need the infinite looping in Flash movie, instead of one.

Separating Looping Anims From Non-looping?

Feb 2, 2010

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?
