I am getting number 0,1,2,or 3 as rundom now when I am running following script. How can I get items a1,a2, a3 or a4 as rundom instead of number?
ActionScript Code:
exam_arr = [a1, a2, a3, a4];
ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*exam_arr .length);
var exam1= exam_arr[ranNum];

I am working on trying to collect data within an array (which works) and this data is collected when a button is pressed or selected. I also want the ability to remove an item from the array if the button is pressed again. Currently, I have these buttons dynamically generated and everything works well. The buttons have ids applied to them. SO what I am trying to get working is, if I select button 0, 2, 3 (0 indexing), the data array created holds [A., C., D.]. I want to remove A. after I click button 0. Instead, it seems to cause problems. What I am doing wrong with splicing??? trace statement:
A. items so far selected
selected items are: 0
A.,C. items so far selected

I'm so proud of myself. I figured this out all by myself and thought I would share. (If you can't tell, I'm new to AS) I needed a way to grab an item in a specific location and have it return an array of items. Here is how I did it:

Is it possible to put variables in an array?
For example:
Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);
When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?
I created a multidimensional array and I am having a hard time using .push to start another line. I have tried many thing however this is where I am at right now:
Actionscript Code:
arrayName = new Array(new Array());arrayName[0].push("cats");arrayName[0].push("dogs");arrayName[1].push("panthers");trace("arrayName[0][0] = "+arrayName[0][0]);trace("arrayName[0][1] = "+arrayName[0][1]);trace("arrayName[1][0] = "+arrayName[1][0]);
As you can see the last trace (arrayName[1][0]) comes back undefined. How do I add the [1][0] level of the array?
I am trying to make my game increase in balls after each level passed by the player.
The script below are all on an enterFrame function

I was wondering if I have an array that is made up of strings. The array is updated with new strings as the user drags and drops objects. Is there a way that I can have the array of strings appear continuously on the stage as feedback?

Basically i've got a timer which records how long a user remains in either section A,B or C on my site. Each time the user switches from say A to C, the time spent in the section A is recorded into Array A and so forth. What i'm having difficulty with is adding each of the elements within the array together..... Top bits are just the button functions....bit in bold is what i would THINK would be the correct way to add the elements together - with a for loop....

View 3 RepliesI have an array that contains movieclips. All of the movieclips have te type and they are all positioned on the stage next to eachother.
Above the displayed movieclips i have 3 buttons, each simbolizing a type, what i want to do is: i click on one of the buttons and all of the movieclips that dont match the right type should be removed from the stage, the remaining movieclips should then tween so that they are next to eachother again. If i click the button again then the movieclips should be displayed again to where they were and should all be positioned again next to eachother.
I'm a bit green when it comes to code and I have a specific thing I need to do which has had me going round in circles (no laughing at the back!). It must be pretty simple but I'm stumped! Basically I have 6 movieclips on the timeline with instance names 'btn1', 'btn2' etc to 'btn6'. These movieclips have an "on" and an "off" state (frame labels)

What I've got is a menu that loads images as buttons. It will only display menu items that are within a certain group (i.e. if themenuitem.node Value == groupid[q] then it will display that menu item. Each of the menu items has a unique number (Itemnumber[n]). I have a loop that goes through and displays the menu items that are within a certain group. I am currently able to also find out the unique number of each of the menu items where themenuitem.nodeValue == groupid[q], but what I want to do with these numbers, is place them all into an array as it loops through.So, say for example, it finds an item in the loop. It tells me this item is number 4 (if I tell it to trace(Itemnumber[n]) within the loop). Then, it finds another item in the loop, and it tells me this item number is 6. I want to be able to add items to an array as it loops through, so I'll have an array at the end like this: (4, 6).Currently my ActionScript looks like the following. Never mind if there are variables that are not defined in there -- they have been defined in other parts of my movie.[code]As you can see, I've made an attept at achieving this by trying numarray[numarraylength] = n; -- but all this does is send me an array, then overwrite it next time it loops (so I get an array like (4, 4), then one like (6, 6). I've added comments in the code to further explain what I'm trying to do.
View 2 RepliesI've got a combo box adding items from an array. The labels are working just fine, but adding the data with a variable won't work for me. If I put in an actual number, I get that result, but trying to add it with a variable I always get 1 as a result. classData only ever = 1. I can access the array. I know it must be in the syntax.[code]

i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example: var fruit:Array = ["apples", "oranges", "grapes", "oranges", "apples", "grapes"]; how can i get it to show only the number of apples in the array?

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to return the index of the first instance of a specified value within an array? Similar to:
Code:
var my_string = "string";
var index = my_string.indexOf("g");
/*Outputs:

Basically, I have two arrays, each with 10 values (in slots 0-9 of the arrays). So I need to see if an array has a specified value in it, but then I have to see if the other array has a certain value in it, in the same spot as the first instance of what I search for in the first array.
For instance:
PHP Code:
my_Array = new Array();
my_Array.push("one", "two", "three", "four")
Here's the catch: another variable (for instance) called "three" is loaded. I want to look up "three" in my_Array and retrieve the index-number (should be 2 of course). How can I accomplish that?

I'm making a very short text adventure, not one that will be all that fun, but just so I can learn a little as3. So I was designing a system that splits the persons input into an array of words, and then goes through and takes out unimportant words like "on." To test this out, I quickly (and messily) coded it up, and the only thing you can do is sit on a box. but it doesn't seem to be working. if you type "sit box" it works, but "sit on box" does not.

The buttons search and find the movie clip in the array flawlessly, but I'm having trouble adding a transition to every movie clip as it is appears. Most tutorials on transitions require a specific instance name, but I want ALL instances to have a transition. Heard the .getChildAt() method is the way to go but cannot find solid guidance on this. Here is the basic code:
Quote:
var myDishArray = [chicken, steak, tuna, pasta, iceCream];
for each (var btn in myDishArray) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDishBtnClick);

how do I properly use the transition manager or add a transition code?
