I have three placeholder images, the contents of which are populated by an array ("galleryArray").These three placeholders are titled "placeholderLeft", "placeholderCentre" and "placeholderRight".
the contents of "placeholderLeft" will be: "galleryArray[n-1]"
the contents of "placeholderCentre" will be: "galleryArray[n]"
the contents of "placeholderRight" will be: "galleryArray[n+1]"

I was just wondering whether it would be possible to remove an object from an array without referencing its index, for example when the index is unknown, or when you want to splice it from within the class itself, like ina die function for an enemy in an array. I have a project due on Friday morning, GMT.

So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I have a number of 'items' (mc's) contained in a scrolling mc that can be drag-dropped to other matching mc's. The items names are listed in an array and I wish to assign variables of suitability and feedback to each mc from the array also. I think this is called an associative array?
Having some trouble correctly referencing the items from the array. To explain, here's a working script with a simple array and an inefficient workaround:

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

I've got an array containing various sprites... I'm wanting to reference the sprite I want by its name rather than its index in the array, and was wondering if theres a simple way of doing this? I know I could do a for loop through all the array elements and see which one has a name that is equal to the name im looking for, but is something along the lines of myArray[elementName] possible?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to access a certain object in an array. for example, I created an array of buttons displayed on the stage. Now I need to attach an onRelease command to each one to launch a new image on the stage.e going round in circles with this. I have attached the code below for reference:

Just learning as3. For testing purposes, I duplicated a movieclip 4 times on the stage and gave each mc a different instance name and put them in an array ("line1","line2","line3","line4"). Then I just want one movieclip to move 200 pixels based on the conditions of the array. Here is the code:
var stuff:Array = new Array("line1","line2","line3","line4");
for(var i:int=0;i<stuff.length;i++)
{
if ((stuff[i]) == "line4") {
trace(stuff[i]);
var duke = (stuff[i]);
[duke]y += 200;
}
}
It traces out the correct mc (line4) but ALL the movieclips move 200 pixels instead of the one (line4). Do you know why this is? I have a feeling that [duke]y is not the correct way to reference the movieclip.
I have an array defined in the main timeline to store some values. At some point of time, I am dynamically adding a movieclip to stage using attachMovie and then using a movieClip.onEnterFrame event to set one of its values by referencing to one value from the main array.(Sorry if the following description sounds a bit confusing. I am attaching a part of the code below to help describe the situation) The problem is that it is not able to retrieve the value from the main array no matter what I try. I tried adding a "_root" befor the array name and the index array id but it did not work. Not only that but the trace shows that it is able to retrieve the index id as well as the full array but not any particular value from the array - as in, trace(arrayname) outputs all the values from that array but trace(arrayname[a][b][c]) gives an output 'undefined'.
I have managed to make it work by creating a temporary variable to store that particular value just before the onEnterFrame event kicks in, but I would love to know why it is not working the way I thought it should. Here is a part of the code. If someone needs more info about the code then please ask and I will give it in the next post (The full code is way too large to be posted here)

I have a several objects nested within an array. I'm trying to reference a property of one specific object (intel).
function eventGenerator():void
{
var randomArea:Number;
randomArea = Math.ceil(Math.random()*5);
[Code].....
ainPlace names is the array's name. The random area variable contains the co ordinate on the array for the object. Each object on the array has a property called intel. The idea is I want to able to store the value of intel in a number and use in an equation. I would also like to be able to adjust the number. the trace function here returns an error saying it is undefined so eventArea.intel for some reason isn't referencing the intel property of the object.
fairly simple question (with a long explaination). I have an array, created from the results of another array and it's position in that array. There are actually multiple arrays It can be created from.
Eg.
Array1: clientName1, clientName2, etc.
Array2: clientType1, clientType2, etc.
Second Array: [clientName1,0], [clientName2,1] OR [clientType1,0] etc.
[Code]...
My issue is, I would like to be able to dynamically adjust the array that it is generating from. This would mean changing the bold bit of the code above. I have tried declaring a variable (type = names+"[i]") and using it in the linkArray declaration, however it will not see this as an array reference, only as a variable. What I want to know is, how do I reference the name of the original array as a variable so I can update it dynamically?
Is there a way to get the index of an array?
For instance, if I have an array:
buttons = Array("abc","def","ghi");

I have a game map made of tiles, each tile is stored in an array called _tiles.The very each tile has a "plantable" parameter, which determines whether or not something can be placed on it.Then i loop through the array and check the position of each its elements against the mosue cursor, so I know which tile am I hovering with my mouse.
And it works pretty good. The problem is that even though I know what is the position of the tile I'm having the cursor on, I still lack the knowledge of what index is that tile. I simply can't tell where exactly in the array is placed this tile. I just know its position. The reason why I want to know the index of it, is because it's the only way for me to set a proper flag, namely whether it's plantable or not. Here's the code:

for(var j:int = 0; j < _tiles.length; j++)

I know that a dynamic mc can be referenced using array notation
viz: myArray['someName'+i]
My question is ... can mcs that have been placed on the stage and given instance names be referenced in some similar way? If I have placed 10 mc's with different instance names eg mg1, mg2, mg3 etc, can I reference them using array referencing?
