I�m making a Space Invaders-like flying game, where you dodge objects instead of hitting or killing them.
I have the enemy objects in an array, and I can�t seem to figure out how to use the setInterval() properly. Here�s a small bit of my code:
enemy[i].mc = attachMovie("enemy", "new_enemy"+i, 100+i);
How can I use the setInterval() in this case? Do I need a for loop or something?
moveSlide();
myShowInt = setInterval(moveSlide, PLACE A TIME INSERTED FROM AN ARRAY HERE???);
I am trying to make a slideshow from an xml document. Each image has a time attribute, which I have in an array. What I want to do is advance to the next image based on the time associated with it.
I have a random array of times in milliseconds, of which I want a function to be called on. Problem is, it seems to be ignoring the times in the array, and instead using the number of items in the array as a guage of how fast it should call the function. Any pointers?

Actually, I'm HTML-coder, so I've recently confronted by difficulties with Flash. Its making the text banner. Flash needs to get variables from the following 'vars.htm' file:
myVar01=the_first_textDDDsecond_textDDDand_surely_ the_third_text&myVar02=DDD&myVar03=3
Where 'myVar01' contains the text, 'myVar02' is the text delimiter's look and 'myVar03' is the showing delay of texts. In truth, I've never seen the ActionScript before.
So, what I've done regarding that all:
ActionScript Code:
var data_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
data_lv.load("vars.htm");
data_lv.onLoad = function() {

The problem is, the 'trace' shows me correct array looping but in Flash I see there's only one passage through the 'texts' array. But I need the infinite looping in Flash movie, instead of one.
I would like the loop to create the multiple setInterval's based off the array, but the function called is not clearing the setInterval...
var timecode = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);
// use the array to assign the interval
for (var i = 0; i<timecode.length; i++) {

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com {

private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I have declared an Array as a new Array(); I would like to push objects into that array but have a text field read back the array minus the commas that are pushed by user interaction (from numbered buttons).
For example, if the user pushes button 1 then button 4 then button 8 I would like the array to read in the text field 148 instead of 1,4,8 .
I am wanting to get an array of objects from a get statement in a class.Now I get this to work so i am just checking if this is the best way to do it.
Over 3 classes
//class3 public function get xVal():int { return img1.x; } // END GET _myProperty
//class2 public function get getEnemy():Array { return myEnemyList; } // END GET _myProperty
/class1- calling class var enemyItem:Array = [];
myEnemy.moveEnemy(); enemyItem=myEnemy.getEnemy;
Please see below:
ActionScript Code:
for (x = 0; x < room_sizex; x++)

I have is a simple game and when the player picks up 10 objects I would like an enemy to spawn and start chasing the player (the player is attatched to the mouse), after another 10 objects another enemy spawns and so on. This keeps going until any one of the enemies chasing "hits" the player, and then I would like all the enemies that are on the screen to travel off screen at the same location, ready to start over again.
I'm using tweener generally in the game so far for movement of things.I understand I'll need to use an array to create more duplicates of my enemy movieclip? And push one every time 10 objects are picked up.What I can't do is the code to hitest any one of the spawned enemies, I think only one perhaps-the last or first created is ever affected. I've seen others with a similar problem but not quite the same so I haven't found a solution. I'm sure its very simple.
Is it possible to put objects that get the same EventListener in an array so instead of saying
object1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, functionName);
object2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, functionName);
I can say
allObjects.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, functionName);
I need to declare an array of objects in as3. Does anybody know the code?

This has to be accessed at a later point by the UI in order to build itself. I can't figure out how to create a loop or method or whatever to access this array.
I need several ways of accessing it, so maybe I'm thinking of a method called accessSpecificItem(propertyName:String); <- to set up each UI item traceOutAllItems(arrayName:Array); <- for testing countNumberOfItems(arrayName:Array); <- for the UI to figure out how many items it needs to build

I have got an array of objects, each with properties, plus those objects have sub objects.
Example
Code:
Array[0]
Object.id = 0
Object.name = fish
Object.Array[0]
object.id = 0
object.variety = red tetra

So now it will go through every item in the array and work filterArray on it, but where to proceed from here?

View 1 RepliesI have a utility function:

This function searches through an array and sees if an item exists in it, if it does, it removes it and returns a reference to that item.
This works fine for most things. But I just ran into a problem where I need to remove an array from an array.
so my array looks like this [ [item1a, item1b], [item2a, item2b] ]; and i need to remove [item1a, item1b] from it. But passing in the the array to remove and the full array to remove it from does not work because i guess of the casting to an object in the parameters list. Can the functionality i want be used? if so how?

I found a good class to convert XML to Array of Objects just like SimpleXMLSecoder do in flex.
The problem is the class does not convert it to array if there is only 1 node. I tried to modify it without success.

I'm having a serious problem with looping through an array. I'm trying to hitTestObject every MC in an array against every other MC in that array.The issue is that in my hitTestObject statement, if obviously looks at only 2 elements at a time.When 2 MC's touch, I set a property called "Touching" to true.The problem is these are moving MCs and at any given time only 2 out of 3 are touching.So what's happening is:The loop runs once testing Array[0] and Array[1].Say those are touching.It sets their "Touching" properties to true(thats what I want).THEN, it runs again testing Array[1] and Array[2], and finds that they are NOT overlapping.It this process it sets both of their "Touching" properties to false, EVEN THOUGH one of them may be overlapping a different array object.I want to individual set the "Touching" property for each array object.Right now these properties are getting overwritten even though 2 out of 3 objects are actually overlapping.[code]
