I'm loading data into a movie clip via XML and an array system that duplicates a single movie clip any number of times, as defined by the XML file. The code is working, but what I would like to do now is be able to get the previous number from the array.Here's the script I'm using:

stop();

I have 4 imgs in an array with four buttons that will load one of the imgs from the array. If I do a simulated test to see how the preloader is working everything works. I can see my preloader working the percent is shown in the output window.
Here is my problem:
If I click on a new button while an img is loading the preloader flips out.
The percentage in the output window passes 100%. The preloader loads the new img and the img that was being loaded.[code]...

I 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. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:

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?
I have this code to try to acess the values of the array in the arraycollection but it does not work it actually creates a value to the end of the arraycollection. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong i basically whant to modifys the individual arrays in the arraycollection and add Login_user.
Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i< dispArray.length; ++i){
dispArray.addItemAt({"login_user":"XXX"},i);

View 9 RepliesObjective is to create a previous button in flash that remembers where the user has been. When the button is click it goes to that previous screen just like an internet web browser.I found a code that actually works for actionscript 2.0 unfortunately when i translate this to actionscript 3.0,it gave me some errors that i cannot resolve or understand.it says: access of undefine property recentFrame, previousFrame and navStack.below is the method for actionscript 2.0.Here's a method for creating buttons that use an array to simulate a navigation through a history array, without using frame labels, of html codes.

This is probably something very simple, but I'm not too sure of the code used to access items within an array.Suppose I have an array like this (using Kirupa's Arrays example):
grocery = ["bananas", "oranges", "apples", "kiwis"];
trace(grocery);
And we've loaded up the corresponding variables/text for "bananas", thus the current item = bananas.Therefore the next item would be "oranges". How can I tell Flash that I want to access this next item?? (I'd like to be able to access it through a variable so that the same action can be applied when the item is "oranges" to move to the next item, which would now be "apples").
I have sections with questions and answers which I can get. But, I need to save each section into new array and tally all the final scores.The screen will show the section score of current section that was just completed and the final score.I know the code has lots of problems - attached.For the total scores the dynamic text boxes var's are totalnumcorrect, totalnumIncorrect, totaluserScore.For the section score the dynamic text boxes var's are numcorrect, totalnumIncorrect, totaluserScore.
View 1 RepliesI have an array of numbers and I want to add the numbers and return an array of addition value My Array looks like
Code:
var optionYPos:Array=new Array(0,10,20,40);
I want the result as 0,10,30,70
Just adding the previous value with the current one.
Is there any way I can target the next and previous items in an array? For example, if I wanted to make a gallery where there's one main image and next/prev buttons to switch between the images in the array.
View 3 Replieshows things, this is my first post on kirupa. Which i have found to be a great source of information regarding AS3 flash and so much more.
I've set up an array which contains images fro a folder. when you click the thumbnail a larger version of the image with the name appears. I want to be able to click the previous or next button and move through the array eg;
var imgArray:Array = new Array (img1, img2, img3, img4)
if img3 is displayed and you press the previous button it loads img2 same with the next button
While a for loop runs through all the elements in an array I want to get the width of each element and add it to the sum of the width of all previous elements.

I have a long timeline with a series of slides arranged along it with a labeled frame at the beginning of each slide.These slides do not have any standardized length so instead of counting out frames and jumping a set number I am trying to navigate with my previous and next buttons to frame labels stored in an array.
This works GREAT!Or rather...it works great if you're rapidly hitting the Next and Previous buttons to step through the area.The problem comes when you sit and try to watch the whole thing play out and then try to use the next button.If you have passed framelabel2 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2.If you have passed framelabel3 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2. Clearly the problem is that it does not know it has gone past framelabel1 and is thus gotoandplay-ing the next frame in the array...which is 2.I need to make it check its current position in the array before adding 1 and advancing the playhead.

I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}
below is my script,to sum up the number in my array....but the output is all the numbers in array and not the sum up numbers....

I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....

View 14 RepliesWhen the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....

View 7 RepliesI have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?
var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);
