I have a script that creates arrays based on certain events. These are all stored in one main array like so: mainArray = [[3,6,5,1],[4,5,6],[5,3,5],[4,5,6]]; As you can see, sometimes I end up with duplicate arrays within the mainArray. How can I check if any duplicate arrays exist and remove them from mainArray?

Let me try to explain a bit more: Let's pretend i load 5 variables from a text file named myvariable1 , myvariable2, ... , myvariable5 How can i check if "myvariable(x)" = true where x = 1 or 2 or 3 ... as they were incremented..?

How can I check how many movieClips exist in a container and how much space are they taken?
In other words, how can I make this calculation if I have a rectangular movieClip (containerMc) that is 5x1px and five square movieClips (sq1Mc,sq2Mc, sq3Mc, sq4Mc and sq5Mc) that are 1x1px and which can dynamically be placed inside containerMc and I want to know how many and which of these five movieClips already exist in containerMc so I can determine where the next square movieClip needs to be placed?
Can someone be so kind and show me how to do this or direct me where I can find the answer?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to apply code to all instances of the enemy that appear randomly but I've run into problems. Firstly the enemies appear when you press space and the collision doesn't seem to work. I kind of thought you have to push the enemies into an array and hitTest that array right?

stop();

View 11 RepliesSorry if this is a little n00b-ish. I'm working in AS3. I've got an array of 8 buttons. I'm currently hiding the button that is clicked using e.currentTarget. How can I tell flash to make all the buttons that aren't the currentTarget to become visible (i.e. if a button has been hidden by previously being clicked, how do I tell it to become visible again when another button is clicked?)

I'm trying to use a for loop to remove duplicate array values. I've tried pop, shift, and splice.
View 3 RepliesThis doesn't work at all.[code]...
but adding "removeDuplicates(aPeople);" after "createfile(thename);" has no effect: in other words, when I push the savefile button, it keeps creating clones of the same objects. What can I do?
I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:
[Code]...
Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.

I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array. Is there any solution so that I could delete the duplicate entry in an Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);

I'm wondering, when I remove the movie clips should I also be popping them from the array?
I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the movie clips and pushes them into the array, so I'm worried that if I don't pop them the array will continue to increase in size and slow down the movie. Is this the case, or will they be automatically removed from the array by the removeMovieClip() method above?
Inside each dataInput is a button that sets the var "varSumNum" to 1 or 2, retain or dismiss respectively. If I set varSumNum to 2 the retain button will hide the corresponding circleMC, but the circles need to toggle visible/invisible individually. This works fine on circleMC1, but I can't get it to check the rest of the dataInputs and toggle their circles. To clarify further, it needs to check each dataInput and if 2 & 4 are set to 1 circle 2 & 4 are removed.

I have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:
groceries = ["bananas", "apples", "apples", "oranges"];
I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?
I have two arrays of objects. Each object has a unique name property besides few others. One of the array is a local copy and the other one is sent from server after regular intervals. The local copy of arrays is then used to add a movieclips into a container.Now, I want that when I receive an array from the server, I compare it with the one which is already with me locally such that the items which were not in the received array but were there in the local array, get removed from the container and the newly added ones only get added. The items which were present in both local and remote array remain as it is.

I noticed something dangerous while working with AS3 - some objects (namely DisplayObjects / MovieClips) tend to remain in the memory and even perform actions after all references to them have been removed.
I work with Flash CS 5.5 and Flash Builder 4.6.
After getting rid of all references (including removeChild(...) from the Document Class) some objects just seem to stay alive.
This question might come off as a bit broad - but what I am trying to understand is what can I do to MAKE SURE that an object is picked up by the Garbage Collector? More so, how can I get some sort of feedback from the GC that signifies that a certain object has been destroyed? (For example, a console message)
Is their a way to check if an event listener already exists to remove it? stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdownfunction); Basically, I want to remove the listener, but sometimes it has already been removed, so I want to check if it exists and if it does, then remove it.
