how to send the whole array from php to flash using loadvariables? Well... i can send string and then use "split" to put variables into the array but is there any way to do it directly?
View 1 RepliesI am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );
[code].......
I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to work with arrays in OOP AS3.0. This is what I've got:
[Code]...
everything breaks down. How should I get the value of myArray into the main Class file (Gallery.as)?
Overview of Issue: A person will enter up to 8 words. Each word is then stored in a dynamically generated text box (responseTextArray[i]) within a dynamically generated movie clip (responseBubbleArray[i]). From here they will drag the bubbles into positions on the stage. Finally all of this information is to be stored in a database. To identify each entry, I put them into arrays. How can I pass all these arrays to a PHP script,so that I can store them in a MySQL database? Or, is there a better way to accomplish what I have described? The plan is to have each user entry and its attributes (response time, response text, x position of bubble, y position of bubble) stored as a row in the database.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if it was possible to create an array of classes in Flash. Is it possible to do like in C++ where you can do the following?

dog[i] = new Dog();

Basically what I'm looking to do is hitTest bullets inside an array (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array) with another array containing ships (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array as well).At the moment I have:
function moveEnemyLarge():void{
var target2:EnemyLarge;
for(var i2:int=0;i2<enemyShipArray.length;i2++){
[code]....
.. and a near identical function for the bullets (using variables: i, target).What is the easiest way for me to hitTest the objects within my bullet array with the objects in my ship array. Putting "target" in the PLACEHOLDER slot doesn't work, and from what I've seen some people will shove the one for() inside of the other.
i have made up a php page (you can find here) that retrieves data from a mysql database and well should send it to my flash application using arrays viaCode:loadVariablesNum("get.php", 0, "POST"); (note that at the end of the long string on my php page there is a &maxx=21 (that will be used to show the maximum number of items in the arrays i want to transfer)well then when i try and start debugging my actionscript, i can fugure out that the data has actualy been recieved from the php code because i have _root.maxx == 21 is true but the remaining data i intended to transfer in arrays is not transfered : _root.xpos[1] == 9.5 is false.
View 4 RepliesI finally decided to start learning about arrays in AS3 and i could use a I learned how to create an array and add references to movie clips in the library, next thing i want to learn is how i can add multiple instances of one movie clip to the stage without having to name each one and do the addChild thing.
View 5 RepliesI'm having a new problem today- referring to arrays with getDefinitionByName. Anyways, in my map editor, I will have two layers of objects, and the user is responsible for choosing which layer of the map to write to. Because of this, I won't know the exact name of the array to write to until I piece together the string "map0Layer" and selectedLayer (chosen by the user):
Code:
var targetString: String = "map0Layer"+selectedLayer;
var mapTarget = getDefinitionByName(targetString) as Array;
trace(mapTarget);
Through this, I'd like to refer to an array, but every variation of the above code I've tried resulted in
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable map0Layer1 is not defined.
(This is subject to change because it could be "map0Layer2" as well, but you get the idea.)
I am a real beginner in actionscript (i am using flash mx 2004). I have made up a php page (you can find here) that retrieves data from a mysql database and well should send it to my flash application using arrays via:
Code:
loadVariablesNum("get.php", 0, "POST");
(Note that at the end of the long string on my php page there is a &maxx=21 (that will be used to show the maximum number of items in the arrays I want to transfer). Well then when I try and start debugging my actionscript, I can figure out that the data has actually been received from the php code because I have _root.maxx == 21 is true but the remaining data I intended to transfer in arrays is not transfered : _root.xpos[1] == 9.5 is false. How to be able to use arrays to transfer data.
I loop through two arrays and im checking their data, i have collison working for them but I want to add more A.I. by making them stop when they are a certain distance from each other. so i need a way to pull EACH object that is in the arrays x,y, pos and use that data. my distance var keep bouncing all over the place...
THIS is my code:
//check events between 2 objects
function CheckEventsEnemyFighterFighter():void
{

P.S. i need some tips for my coding... like should have i used a break in these for loops?
So basically I have this map. On this map I have points, and when you click on these points it goes to a URL.The code setup is as follows:
Arrays to define the movieclip locations and another for the urls (this one is an associative array). I then create a function loop to make an event listener for each point. When the point is clicked it will run another function that handles the URLs. The URL function is to grab the target point that has been click, use the url array type to find the key, and then throw it in to the URLRequest.
So far I have this code:
var places:Array = new Array();
places = [
map.paulsens, map.paraburdoo, map.plutonic, map.wiluna, map.gwalia, map.wallaby,
map.sunrise, map.moora, map.marvel, map.flyingFox, map.ernest, map.rosebery,
[code]....
So it's obvious to me that the openLink(); function isn't doing what I want it to. I can kind of guess because event.target isn't being turned in to a string or not pulling the array's type?
How can I animate and form rows together?One 'for loop' is for animation, the other 'for loop' is for making rows. I want to understand how to use arrays and create a row of sprite animations. I understand how to loop through an Array and create a Sprite for each index of the Array, but I'm having trouble putting my animation in rows.I got my number animation to play in a single row. When I add the loop to multiply it across the stage, it just blinks while continuing to animate.'for loop' for animation.[code]

I have an array of movie clips (representing band members) which have various properties, among them them a property which tells where the band member went to after they left their current band. For those who formed a new group, I want to create an array. Within that array, I want to group all the ones that left for the same group into secondary arrays. So, if you had five band members and 2 of them left for group X and 3 left for group Y. What's the best way to do this? This is, roughly, my code:
[Code]...
Alternatively I suppose if I could do without a multidimensional array and just loop through all the members and say - for those members whose group is the same, perform this function, with the name of that same group passed as the parameter for the function. I guess the trouble I'm having is identifying who's the same.
How would I go about sorting an array of nested arrays, based on the contents of one of the nested arrays elements?

I'm struggling with something that shouldn't be too difficult but I can't figure it out I have a number of Arrays with different values and I want to find the common values all of the Arrays have, see example below:

var arrayTwo:Array = ["1","2","7"];
var arrayThree:Array = ["1","2","9","12"];
_resultArray = ["1","2"];
I have two arrays contains several movie clips. I used for loop to inject first array in timeline object succefuly. But then I realized, what the hack I will do about the second array I need to start them simultaneously and every array must have different destination at x and y..

Code example:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var mainArray:Array= [amcMC, tantrumMC, blokMC, misMC, futMC, laoMC, cauMC, deepMC, plusMC, noMC, copMC ];

I need to apply slightly different tweens on second array and trigger them simultaneously, or with small offset.
how to create a flash calculator using arrays?
View 3 RepliesMy fish is swimming along and needs to catch the food and avoid the poison. I've attempted to create arrays for the food and the poison so they are randomly dropping down. I've also added a hittest but can't get it to work.
I'm not really happy with the randomisation of the array, there are too many instances appearing on screen and I'm not sure how to fix this. Is there an easier way to animate the food dropping down without using as2 and arrays? There is also something wrong with my score, each food should be +10 to score and poison should be -10, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I also don't know what script to type to end the game to either a congratualtions screen or game over screen. Basically I have no idea what I'm doing and haven't had much help from my teacher, he may as well be speaking another language.
I'm using the .sortOn() function in AS3.0 to sort an array with multiple elements.First, I push the values to the array, like this:[code] The program has a number of "loops" it goes through. So, I push data to this array (which is global) a first time, sort it, and then later I clear the array with the .shift() function in conjunction with a for loop. I then push new data to the array with the same line of code mentioned above.But what's happening is this: on the first round, everything works great, and this is what my output looks like:[code]Before I cleared the array with for loop and .shift(), it would say "Northern Alberta & Prairies" in ALL array slots. Since I started using the .shift() function I managed to get BC to remain, but it's still clearing my southern alberta entry.
