ActionScript 2.0 :: Array That Creates The Mc's Names?
Apr 19, 2005
I have an array that creates 7 mc clips with names.I'm trying to make each one of those peices clickable.When clicked each peice will slide over to the far left "barrier_mc" and stop.Actually not true, the one closest to the "barrier_mc" will stop at the barrier and from then on each piece will stop when it hits the one beside it (kinda like a 7 car fender-bender). This isnt the problem im trying to work through right now, although i will in the near future.
What im trying to figure out is the array that creates the mc's names them like the following "" infoBar"+i+"_mc"". What im trying to do is call that in a function so that i dont have to type in each of the 7 mc names manual I.E (infoBar0_mc) you'll see my function at the bottem in the "function pieceStop"of the pasted code.
Code:
var list:Array = ["piece1", "piece2", "piece3", "piece4", "piece5", "piece6", "piece7"];
var startingX:Number = list_mc._x;
var bottom:Number = 950;[code].....

Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called mclipArray with the names of movie clips stored in it as follows:
mclip0, mclip1, mclip2, mclip3....and so on until mclip99.
Later in my code I want to run a loop using "i" as a counter variable from 0 to 99 and then depending on the value of "i" add various movie clips to be inside the movie clip that corresponds to "i". For example if I want to add a movie clip called "someMovieClip" as a child of my movie clip called "mclip6" and my loop has been running and "i" is now equal to 6, how can I use "i" to reference the correct index stored in the array.
mclipArray[i].addChild(someMovieClip);
The above code doesn't work.

I want this to be sorted by first name only: "John Smith 18", "Charlotte Smith 59", "Chris Doe 26", "Tony Jordan 100", "Charlotte Roberts 17", "Imad Hanna 26", "Charlotte Smith 13"
I can get it sort sort alphabetically just by using .sort(), but it takes into account the last name as well.

I have a bunch of buttons on stage, and i want to place all of those buttons names in an array so i can assign an event listener to them easier. What i have is:
Code:
var btnArray = new Array["btn1","btn2","btn3","etc...."];
for(var c=0; c<btnArray.length; c++)
{
btnArray[c].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doSomething);
}
But that isnt working.

This should be simple but I can't come up with or find the answer anywhere. All I want to do is create a series of Arrays with instance names generated on the fly. I then want to reference these later. I have a "for" loop with a variable "count" that I want to add to a base name of rowArray and use the result to create an Array. I would think that it would look something like this:

How do you pass instance names into arrays? I've got a bunch of movieClips of states.
They all have instance names.. alabama, arkansas, delaware, florida, georiga, etc..
I am trying to send them all to an array because I need to be able to disable the movieClips all at once and I don't want to call each one separately. I setup an array and a "for" loop, and it properly gets each value in the array:
ActionScript Code:
states = new Array(alabama, arkansas, delware, florida, georgia);
stateslength = states.length;

I've continued with it and have hit another hurdle. When I run the loop to load in the XML images, inside the same loop I add instances of a "thumb" movieclip onto the stage. It's just a little graphic that I want to use as thumbnail buttons. So for example, if the XML loads in 3 images, 3 instances of the "thumb" mc also load onto the stage. I currently give then unique names in the loop but that name gets overwritten each time the loop runs. How can I record each name of the instance? I'm guessing an array but how do you populate an array with a loop?
Then, I'm hoping if those names are recorded in an array, then I can reference the different thumb instances (so they can do different things with the images) and also use removeChild on them when I close the gallery and load in the next gallery. Here is my code so far,

I am making an XML multiple-gallery flash site for a client. The chunk of code I am having trouble with is populating the thumbmails section of the site with all the pictures in all the galleries. The image paths are brought in and stored in an array - one array for each gallery's image paths. The problem is that when I try to cycle through all the images to put them into movie clips (using a fore statement) I am having trouble dynamically addressing the arrays. More specifically, flash interprets them as strings, and does not evaluate the variables in them.
Code:
function images(i){
var temp:Number = eval("g"+i+"im.length");
for (var r:Number=1; r<=temp; r++){
[Code]....
The argument images() takes is the gallery number (from another function). I have tried using eval() and trace to see what the problem is. Basically I can make it output the correct STRINGS, but flash will not convert the variables in the strings! So in the URL (first arg) of loadMovie it is seeing something like "g2im[3]" as a string, and not evaluating it to the value at index 4 of that array.

I am writing my quest .as files for my RPG that I am making. At the present moment I am having issues with certain commands and how best to accomplish them. This pertains to my conversation system that I have in place. Currently, the conversations are stored as an array, with each index in the array representing a different "page" of the conversation. Now for my quests, at the end of each conversation (the last index in the array), I want a certain function to occur (receiving the quest, updating the quest, completing the quest). So my thought is to have a separate array with the same number of elements as the conversation array, and when the conversation text is updated to reflect the next page, it also will access the function array with that given index, and therefore only on the last page of the conversation will the function be executed.
Code:
var a:Array = [func0, func1, func2];
function func0():void{
trace(0);[code].....
Now my question is this, when is the code actually executed? When it is placed within the array, or when it is accessed with the for statement?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ride>
- <gallery>
<image>1_gallery_1.jpg</image>

What would the variable name be to get to the start of the image names?
IE: this.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue

where each of my buttons have a dynamic text label.
So this button is a symbol, and the instances are named let say btn1, btn2, btn3. The label tag name inside the symbol is btnName.
How I can make this work if I define my array on top level? How I can make sure that the label btnName will have the correct array name for each btn instances?
found out the benefits of .children usage...
btn1.children.btnName = xArray[0];
btn2.children.btnName = xArray[1];

I worked again on a new Project and stumbled while trying Arrays. I have two cubes(cube_mc, cube2_mc) in my scene.
My code:
var gy:Number = 0;
var gravity:Number = .2
var moving:Array = new Array(cube_mc, cube2_mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gravityFUNC);
function gravityFUNC(event:Event):void{
gy+=gravity;
moving.y+=gy;
};
I was trying to put both cubes into the array, and then affecting the whole Array with gravity. When I test it nothing happens, and it shows no errors.
