FLASH MX 2004
I am loading an xml and looping through it using a recursive function. The problem is that it only reads through the first tree and then quits..?
[Code]....
I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.
im having a problem reading a xml tree in Flash MX...[code]and this Actionscript to just to view the tree.[code]meaning that when it calls itself again, that it will stop searching the next items on the same level from where it was called.how do i not let it stop searching and complete the tree.
View 4 RepliesSo, I create standard AS3 flex project. In constructor goes only start();
rest of functions are basically this:
private start():void { f1();}
private function f1():void { f2();}
private function f2():void { f1();}
And it's standard recursion. SWF either breaks or loops as many times as I tell it. One f calls the other, which calls first... I do not want that.
I want f1 to do some stuff, calls f1 and closes itself. Than f2 works, calls f1 and closes. And so on.
Like having 2 sets of code that loops through.
What's the cleanest way to do that?
I want to vreate a recursive function that will search through my xml tree and display all the leaves(node values); this is the function that I wrote:
function searchXML (theItem) {
trace("theItem.*.length() "+theItem.length());
trace("theItem.* "+theItem);
trace("--------------------------------------");
if (theItem.*.length() > 0) {
searchXML(theItem.*);

I have this function to find occurences of misstyped varaible names (with wrong lower / upper case). I have a movieclip called "debug" where I define and call this funciton ("getCase(_level0)"). But It never finds my testttt variable - If I put the test varaible in _level0 the variable is found.
var targetsCase_ary:Object = new Object();
var targetsLower_ary:Object = new Object(); testttt = 1 testttT = 1 function getCase(clip:MovieClip, recu:Number){ if (recu==undefined) recu = 1; var n:String; for (n in clip){ var sPath:String = clip._target + "." + n; var sPathLower:String = sPath.toLowerCase (); //trace(sPathLower + " " +

I have a difficult problem with a recursive function. Essentially I need to 'slow down' a for loop within a function that repeatedly calls itself (the function); Is this possible, or do I need to somehow extract the recursive nature of the function?
function callRecursiveFuncAgain(ob:Object):void{
//do recursive stuff;
for (var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
_nextObj=foo
callRecursiveFuncAgain(_nextObj);
}}
I made an app (Towers of Hanoi) and i added a "demo" button that solves the problem based on a recursive function. The button is supposed to make a move one step at the time, i mean one step at every few seconds so you can actually see how the algorithm works. The problem is i haven't really used the timer event before and i have no idea how to implement it in this particular scenario.
Code:
function hanoiPlay(n:int,a:Stack,c:Stack,b:Stack):void

I've been trying to implement a QuadTree to store a two-dimensional array representing a terrain. I generate the array first, then I use the below function to generate a QuadTree for the array.
[Code]....
Because it's a little hard to explain what I need.. I'll make an example.So.. I have the figure below. I mean.. that's what I'm trying to achieve. For that figure I have data stored in the folowing way._root.marc is an Array.All the paths that leave a square ... like From M0 if you choose 1 you'll get M1,From M0 through 5 you'll get to M3.. and so on.this is stored like_root.marc[0].p - the paths. If _root.marc[x].p.length is 0.. that means that Mx is the last one.. and has no paths assigned, like shown in the figure. My very big problem is that I need to position that MC's.. M3,M4.. all of them, according to the paths above them.
So, to position M2, i need to take a look at M1, and if it has any paths, more than one path, I need to move it further down. But this is not the end of it. If M1 has more paths that lead to other MC-s.. i need to take in considerations their paths too . This drove me mad for the last couple of days, and my time is slowly running out for my diploma What I've tryed till now was to build a function let's say... getNextY(m) that should return a number. A "ponder"?..like...to use it in a line like M2._y = (currIndex + getNextY(1))*dy;// here it should return 5 for instanceM3._y = (currIndex + getNextY(2))*dy;// here getNextY should return 1

I'm in a big big mess, trying to figure out how to do this for the last couple of days. I finaly came to the conclusion that I need a recursive function for what I'm trying to do. Because it's a little hard to explain what I need.. I'll make an example. So.. I have the figure below. I mean.. that's what I'm trying to achieve. For that figure I have data stored in the folowing way. _root.marc is an Array.

M2._y = (currIndex + getNextY(1))*dy;// here it should return 5 for instance M3._y = (currIndex + getNextY(2))*dy;// here getNextY should return 1 Why 5 or one? because it needs to take into account only if the paths are greater than 1.
If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion?
View 2 RepliesThe function is called with an interval of 500, and loads several images from an array into objects in a 3D Environment component (world).I'm using a MovieClipLoader and a listener for this, but somehow it keeps looping. After onLoadInit it starts loading the images again. How can I stop this?
PHP Code:
function fill_cloud (){
var leden:Array = sopXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes;
var activ:Array = sopXML.firstChild.childNodes[3].childNodes[0].childNodes;
var leden_activ:Array = leden.concat(activ);

I'm creating a banner ad that tweens a thought bubble.It has 3 bubbles which tweens from the small bubble(1st one) to the big(3rd)one every 1/2 second with the setInterval function and then Invokes another setInterval which changes the text in the big bubble every 2sec. I got it to work perfectly, but the only problem is that I cant get it to loop through again properly. When I try to invoke the setInterval "animBubble" in the changeText function it doesnt read the clearInterval in the "animBubble" function causing it not to stop once the 3rd bubble has tweened in.
Here is my code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;

Just getting up to speed on looping and incrementing variables. A real time saver.I have a onRelease function that I would like to apply to several button objects:
phase1a.but1.onRelease = function() {
p=0;
thisImage();
}
I need the p variable as well as the target but1 to increment. This is my first attempt:
for (n=1; n<=23; n++) {
phase1a.but[n].onRelease = function() {
p=[n+1];[code].......
I get a good trace on n showing that the incrementing is successful but nothing on p when the button is clicked and no execution of the function thisImage(). Not getting any errors either. Can you not loop an onRelease statement?
I am trying to loop my function through my array values continuously. I'm only able to get it to loop through one array value as intended. The long term goal here is the create a grid of movie clips that continuously change colors in random order (from preselected values). I'm new to actionscript and I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I'm unsure of how to send the function to all items in the array, and loop them all continuously, yet with random color patterns for each.

I would like to repeat a block of code within a function in Flex, which is the best way to do this, I would like to do this without making a new function?
The code currently is:
Code:
for each (var rawPhoto:Object in event.data)
{
logger.info("Photos.getPhotos: Photo[{0}] downloaded", rawPhoto.pid);

I have a bunch of movieclips that are animated using TweenLite, (code below), but I would like to loop them 2 or 3 times continuously. I have put them inside of a function but can't seem to get them to loop. The starting positions for each movieclip are defined before this function[code]

NOTE: The following text is my problem and observations, if you afraid to read it all, my problem is easily guessable within the code go ahead and crack at it without my explanation :-p I'm having some trouble with using hitTest(); with movieclips within arrays. I wanted to build a function that checks the hitTest of Movieclips in arrays because the array is dynamic and it would run more efficient and faster this way.
As you may notice it doesn't check just the movieClip in the array, but a movieclip 2 scopes within it. I feel that this is my problem. I noticed in my debugger that that mc doesn't show up, but i put an onLoad event on it to trace its existence when loaded and it shows up fine. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
I am trying to create an fla file which will load and play an flv file. Once the flv reaches the end I then need it to load in another flv file which will then loop continuosly thereafter.
I have found some AS3 code to do this but I need it in AS2 as i also need to get the file to communicate with an audio player file.
Ultimately I need to have the video file hold on loading and then start playing once the audio player has loaded and started playing.
video loading/playing/looping and/or the communication between 2 swf files to trigger the video playing
I'm building an Air application (straight AS3 no flex) that embeds and displays a .swf file. [code]Not only does this not add the .swf file to the display list like I want it to but it seems to run over and over again. "hello" fills up the output window from the trace statement like it's running every frame.The code loads a .jpg just fine so it must be a problem specific to flash files. I would think I would get some kind of security error if there was a conflict not this strange looping constructor. Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this behavior?So I think what was happening is that because both flash files shared the same application domain and they both had "Main.as" as the main class file it was running the constructor over and over again.I've updated my code above to show my unsuccessful attempts to load the external .swf with a different application domain.

How do I determine the end of a recursive loop - when going through an xml document of unknown size?
View 7 RepliesI am making a SUDOKU generator(ActionScript2.0), which would (for now) generate the full and correct sudoku table. To do that I need to use recursive functions for calculating all the possible values. The problem is that when I try to run my program I get this error :
Code:
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.Is it possible to somehow work around this limitation?

I've been studying the experiments on Levitated a lot. I've been looking over this one that deals with recursive functions. Here is the link:The actually get most of it. There is one part with an array though that pushes something and I don't understand it. Here's the code:

I have a menu of 4 buttons and I'm trying to not be redundant and recursively use the same over, out, clicked function for each button by passing it's instance through the event handler.
I haven't had a whole lot of success finding the answer except locating a thread about creating custom classes....Which would be great, but I don't want to re-create my entire structure now. So I was wondering what the best approach might be.
Here's the code I've been working on.

I have various custom component instances in my flex app. I want to loop through them recursively and get their instance Ids. The recursive part is very important to me. I have tried doing this, but it didn't do recursive:
for each (var myItem:* in this.MasterContainer.childDescriptors)
{
trace(myItem.id);
}
