I have the problem with creating multiply functions. I want to create onRelease function for every item in array that will navigate to specific URL from xml.Here is the code:
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);[code]....
The problem is that the trace for url will work if I put nodes[0] for example instead of [i].
I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).How do i remove a specific item from within an array?
View 9 RepliesI have an unordered ever-changing array that looks something like this:
12,23,1,4,11
I just want to basically tell the code to remove a specific item, let's say "23". But since the array is constantly changing length, I can't use splice.I also can't have any gaps, such as "12,,1,4,11". It must return "12,1,4,11".And on a related note, can I then check if this array has the same content of numbers as another array (and do I have to put them both in numeric order before it can perform the check, or doesn't it matter that they're not in the same order, as long as they have the same contents)?
I want to loop through an array of mc's, and assign each a onRelease function. I have the following code but the trace inside the function doesn't seem to find the array.I understand why but what is the correct way of doing this?

var j:Array = new Array();[code].......
I reworked a script that creates a menu from XML. Works great, it creates the menu items by attaching a button I have in my library, each button gets the proper data passed to it in the process. Each button has an onRelease tied to it by the script. When the menu item is clicked (onRelease) it loads an image and proper data into the movie (into movie clips & dynamic text boxes).My hangup is that I want the first menu item to be called when the menu is created. In other words, i want to call the function that the onRelease is calling with the first menu items data but i can't figure out how to do it.All i can figure is having the button call the function itself [i.e.if(this.name =="button1"){] but that doesn't work.[code]
View 1 Repliesrun a function on each item inside an array, and then remove it from the array, but only if one of its properties reach a certain number.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to run a function for each item in an array but I don't want it to happen all at once. The end result is to fadein an item in an array then fade it out, then move on to the next item in the array and do the same thing.
i guess in simple form I could demonstrate this with just using text:
Code:
myFunc = function(theGreet){
trace(theGreet);
}

I have the following XML file structure:
Code:
<VideoData>
<CuePoints>[code]....
And I am trying to create a function which will search the cuepoints for a specific time, I'd also like the function to be re-useable, so I could just feed it a xml tree path and a search term then it would return a reference to the matching node.So far I have only managed to return what is in the node:
Code:
public class Search
{
public static var returnData:Array = new Array();[code].....
So, I've always struggled with the best way to do this. I have a method, but it seems like there's gotta be a better way.
Say you have an array of menu items
Code:
var menuArray:Arrary = [item1,item2,item3];
, and onRollOver they receive a certain color:
[Code]....
I realize that there's some additional code that would need to be written here, but you get the point. Basically what I'm doing is disabling the button so nothing happens onRollOut. Then I'm setting all the buttons colors to null, but changing whichever button was flagged as active to red.
It seems like a really ghetto way of doing this, and you notice a visible flicker in color of the active menu item if there are a lot of items in your array. Does anybody know a better way to handle this?
I want to be able to select an item from my list component and fire a function directly related to selecting that item. list is called "tidlist" function is "selecttid(n)" the "n" needs to be replaced with the index number... so if run my swf and the list component displays my items... when i select one (the third one for example)... i want to fire "selectTid(3)".... cant seem to grasp.

View 3 RepliesI would like to push a value, anything really, into my array when my movieclip is pressed. I have a number of fish movie clips, and when I press them they unload, but I would like for every press of the movie clip instance a value to be pushed in the array. This is so that when a certain number of fish have been pressed the movie goes to the next frame. So, I give an if statement to say if the array has a certain length, go to nextFrame();.[code]

I want to click on "item1_mc", have the specified objects move away and then when clicking on item1_mc again I want to have them move back to their original positions. When clicking on "item1_mc" it provides both trace statements and performs the second if statement, even though "activeCurrent" is set to false. Further clicking only creates the trace statements and nothing else.

I have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.

View 2 RepliesI know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?

View 2 Replies I am designing and coding a navigation menu at the moment, and so far I have got the button instances to duplicate for each of the menu items, and set widths, positioning values and RollOver/RollOut functions. However, I would ideally like to include the onRelease button functions in the for loop too - as they are all the same apart from the variable "i". Here is the code snippet:
ActionScript Code:
for (i=1;i<(_root.noofmenuitems+1);i++){
duplicateMovieClip("mc", "mc"+i, i);
[code]...
Now my problem is that by the time the onRelease function is called, the for loop has been completed and the value of i returned is the last i value from the loop (_root.noofmenuitems+1). The this["mc"+i] part obviously works, because the trace function is called when I click any of the menu items.The problem is that I have 6 menu items, and when I click any of them, the trace function returns "test 7" - not the corresponding i values for each button.
I need the following script to run as soon the as the play head comes on the frame. Right now it is activated through an onRelease...need to replace that:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
tweenBall(mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut);
};
function tweenBall(easeType) {
