ive been tryin to organize some pictures using a 2d array
for (i=1; i<ServiceTextTotal; i++) {
aServiceClips[i, 0] = xmlServiceNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes.length-1;
[Code].....
and some other way like in C++ where you just got teh ray[x][y]?
if someone could clarify the ways of defining multi-dimensional arrays for me that would be super sweet.
I would like to know how to organize a multidimensional array.Below is the current state of the array. Three rows, and a different number of columns for each.
greentree,greenleaf
redfox
blackcat,blackdog,blackhog
I would like to know how to sort the array so that the rows are in descending order by the number of columns they have.
blackcat,blackdog,blackhog
greentree,greenleaf

I have searched and puzzled but to no avail as of yet.
I have made a 3dCube and each face has 4 boxes fitted in that will display a slideshow of pictures. The trouble is that it skips striaght to the last box leaving the others blank. here is my code:

I have the following problem. I wanna load 3 pictures to the stage using LoaderMax. Their path is stored in an array (urls), and finally I wanna have all their displayList objects in a new array called pictures.here's my code:
var urls:Array = new Array("../data/bild1.jpg","../data/bild2.jpg", "../data/bild3.jpg");
for(var i:Number = 0; i< urls.length; i++){
var loadery = new ImageLoader(urls[i]);

I want to write the code to go to the next picture in my array, I have managed to get everything to work but am stuck at this last bit.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI've got e website where the thumbnails for the gallery are dispaly using:
Code:
{foreach from=$product_images key=count item=imageArray name=images}
{foreach from=$imageArray item=image}
{$image.id}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
and the <ul> list.
Now I would like to display it also on the flash presentation attached to this website.
How can I do it?
I'm passing variables from the wbesite to flash using:
Code:
<param name=FlashVars value="myVariable={$product.product_name}&item_no={$product.product_reference}&thumb={$image.id}" />
When I use '$image.id' without checking the Array it returns only the last image.
I have loaded 11 pictures through an array and a loop and then tweenlite'd them so them come on the screen from the right and move across 'til the middle picture is in the middle of the screen.Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it so I can move them to the right or left by a press of a button, (bntLeft and btnRight).Three pictures show on the screen at one time. So if btnRight is clicked then the 3 pictures which are off the screen to the right would come on and center in the screen. And if btnRight was clicked again then the pictures would move to the left and the last picture would come on.I don't know if that is going to make sense to anyone but me so I have created a picture to show what I mean.
View 3 RepliesAn array of different pictures that I call in from a local folder. I have a method to mix up the array to make it random. I then want to display the first picture in the array and then when I press a next button I want it to go to the next item in the array and stop when there is no more items left in the array.
View 1 RepliesI'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 Replies[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.
View 2 RepliesIt's a bit basic question. But, I fail to understand how to solve it. I have an application which has several enteties. E.g. pike <-- fish --> shark. Where fish is a base class.I am doing some kind of lake, so all my instances of fish class can move only within some oarders. Even more, they all are randomly created on one of the edges of the lake and swim to another depending on the edge they are located at. Here is how it looks for a base class:
public class Fish extends FlxSprite

I was wondering how MMO's such as AQworlds URL... handle maps on the stage.In my game there would be one static map per screen. The background does not move, only the player. The player can move on to the next screen by walking over arrows on the map.How would I go about storing the maps? Is it good practice to just keep each map screen as a separate object in Flash and just delete the map and make create a new map from the library when the player moves around? Should I load the maps externally? Or should I have one map object and keep each stage on a separate frame and just toggle between frames?I am not looking for code but concepts and ideas. This is my first try at making a multiplayer game and I am not sure of the "Best practices" of maps.

I'm doing a project for school and based on what was designed I'm pretty sure it will need to be done in AS3. I've got experience with AS3, for small projects I have little trouble. This project on the other hand has 3 modules which will contain 3 lessons each, and each lesson has 5 practice problems. I don't know where to start.What I've started with is a menu screen with 5 practice problem pictures on it. When I click on a practice problem picture it brings you to the appropriate problem. Upon completion of the problem it pops up an arrow that brings the student back to the menu but with previously completed problems greyed out.
I can't seem to get variables from children to work with the main actionscript that's on the first frame of the project.I've been reading Essential ActionScript 3.0 by Moock but I'm having trouble trying to apply what he's describing to the project I'm working on.I'd like to be able to figure out things like...these are my packages, these are my classes, and these are so and so. I think I can work from there
I have a menu bar that when a user mouses over it, a second menu slide out beneath it. Problem is when I move my mouse off the first menu bar, the second menu bar disappears. Im not sure how to organize my hit areas so that the second bar stays even if I mouse off the first menu bar.

View 5 RepliesI made some general useful functions for my project that I use in many different parts of the code.
I broke the code down into classes.
I can't seem to call the functions I want from each class.. right now I simply copy and paste the code of these functions into each class I need them in.
Is there any easy way to make a big file with all the general functions that are not class spesific to keep things easier?

View 8 RepliesI am working on a Color class.allow people to use whatever formats for both input and output they like.Even though the Color class only has one single value ever stored (a hexadecimal RGB value), I allow users to make a color based on any type of input, so my "static constructors" look like this, and take up a lot of room:
Code:
//This isn't really how they look, but a reenactment. ;)
public static function fromRGB(r:uint, g:uint, b:uint):Color
{ return new Color(Color.RGBtoHEX(r, g, b)); }

... etc ... etc ... etc ... Is there any logical and organized way of handling so many "in/out" options? Or perhaps some other way I can set up the class? I have been trying to think this through without success, and I need someone else's eyes. Perhaps because it is 3:30AM...
Does anybody know how to organize .as files into folders?
Using Flash's publish settings, I can designate the .fla, .SWF, and document class to be in separate directories. That's great, but I'd like further organize my .as files into sub-directories within the folder for source code.
I'm using as container for my LinkButtons. I would like to know
1) How can I remove the space between the items in my Tile container.
2) How can I set dynamic width for my items (at the moment they all have the same width regardless the width of the included component)
3) How can I avoid to display scrollbars if the items are not included in the container
I'm working on a rhythm-based game set to a specific song in ActionScript, in which a trigger spawns on the right side of the screen and moves left. The player must hit the trigger when it touches the left side of the screen, and I'm trying to figure out the most code-efficient way to spawn triggers in sync with the timing of the song. The only thing that came immediately to mind was an update function tied to the main loop that checks if the song is at a certain second each frame, but that seems unnecessary.

View 1 RepliesI'm preparing to reorganize & refactory a Flash Builder application. The goals of the reorg are 1.) keep compile times for the part of the project I'm working on as fast as possible, 2.) keep the unrelated parts separate for code reuse. Goal #1 trumps goal #2 if there's a trade-off.
Currently, the app has assets in one project, core functionality AS3 in another project, and the MXML in a third project that links to the other two.
Would moving resources/code into swc libraries help compile time? What about compiling assets into an swf and embedding that into the main application?
is there any way to Organize Imports of entire project using FlashDevelop? It's an ActionScript project.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with a large Actionscript project, and every file needs to have it's imports organized.

View 1 RepliesMy project is a visual way to represent a database of information about books. It will be represented as a collection of menus and submenus. From one menu, the user will be able to access another, from the other the third.Each item in a menu has some content, so the menus themselves are not a means to an end (to execute commands), but a goal in themselves. Viewing them, and browsing between them is the essence of the project.
The simplest way to organize a menu of items would be a dictionary object containing all its members.However, it is not really good for a complex set of menus and sub-menus which is a web of information linked between another.
how you properly organize dynamically loaded thumbnails from an xml file, into a grid.What I'd like is for the number of columns and rows to be set in the xml file also, and for the flash file to auotmatically fill out the rows / columns based on how many thumbs are in the xml file.
I've found examples of this type of thing in both as3 and as2, but I can't seem to get my as2 version working properly... how to create a thumbnail grid in as2...I don't really want the thumbs to link to a bigger version fo the image...
