I have a series of movieclips namely alpha1,alpha2....till alpha56,inside another parent movieclip parentMc.The problem is do I have to write onPress() event actions for each alpha movieclip? Or is there any other way to get the childMovieClip index so that I need to write only onPress function for the ParentMc.I know there is that option in AS3...But is that there in AS2.0..

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 think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

Ive copied some code for an xml image viewer that contains a thumbnail scrollbar which loads an enlarged image on click. I want to change the code to go to the next image when I click on the big image. I cant seem to figure out how to find the current index number and add 1 to go to the next one in the onClickBack function.

Is there a way to get the index of an array?

If I wanted to get the index dynamically of the string "ghi", could I do that with a certain function or piece of code?
I want to get tab Index with it's id. My tabs are in a tabNavigator.

View 1 RepliesI'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?
I have a flash drop down menu that overlaps a separate flash piece in an HTML page. The example of what I am talking about can be found here: [URL]
When you hover over product types, you'll notice that the drop down falls under the 'water banner'. I have set the z-index of that specific banner to be lower than the flash header but it still did not work. When I change the 'water banner' to a static image instead of a flash file, the menu overlaps without a problem.
This is the style that I have applied to the navigation bar
#flash_piece {
z-index: 1;
position:relative;
top:0px;
}
I thought that there was a way to be able to name array indexes. Like instead of myArray[0], it could be myArray["tileFour"]. I thought that instead of using index numbers one could use index words.

I have used flash for several sites. I am using CS5. I'am use to publishing Flash files to the server, naming the HTML file as index, I also name my SWF file as index. But When I go to the web and look at my site, the tab syas index. I tried changing the SWF file to the name of the site, but this does not work. I also tried and renamed both files and indexnameofsite.HTML, but this also does not work. I tried looking at the script file (open it in notepad) but its mumbo jumbo to me.

I created some classic text boxes and assign to each of them a tab index using the syntax: "fNameInput.tabIndex = 0; fNameInput.tabIndex = 1; fNameInput.tabIndex = 2;" etc.
afterwards, I decided to turn them into TLF boxes but after I did so, the tab index feature stopped to work.
What's wrong in my code and what should I do in order to turn on the tab index attribute?

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

I made a flash website in AS3. Normally, when an user enters a webaddress, the index.html is opened. Now I want to open the index.swf file INSTEAD of the index.html.

A long time ago I red an article about creating an index.php file, with a little piece of code that does this for me, but I cannot find this code anymore. Someone knows what to do?

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined.I use a for-each loop to access all the elements of the array that is not undefined (since it simply skips the undefined elements).But I also want the index of that particular element.The only option I can see is to use indexOf(). But it feels a bit like looking for water on the other side of the river so to speak.
When looping through long arrays each frame, is there a change indexOf() might slow it down? or does the for-each loop somehow know what index it's dealing with?
