I'm utilizing this code for a photo gallery, and I'm having issues with adding movie clips to arrays. This code compiles with an error stating "Label must be a simple identifier."
Code:
//Encapsulating mc for thumbnail images.
var mcMaster = new MovieClip();

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
I'm new to AS3, but our teacher thinks we're all amazing geniuses and assigned us this project which was due last class. Great, I know, I have to do it even if it's late. Only 5 students out of 28 were able to finish the assignment.[code]Those are all the assignment details he gave us.All I have so far. What I have only adds the array to the list. Nothing much else.[code]Also, when the array prints on a new line, the prior item on the array must not print as show above.
View 6 RepliesI'm making a slideshow with 7 pictures in it, what i want to do is add the images to the array.
image names/class(?) are image1, image2, image3, ... image7 and I'm adding them in a loop.
Code:
var arrayName:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int=0;i<6;i++){
arrayName[i] = //this is where I'm stuck
}
need help with that one line of code, and how to get the name right while using numbers in the array elements and, if possible, the class.
I've never done this before, but I'm prety sure its possible to store almost anything in an array.
How do I do this? I just want to be able to access its contents by array[x][y], but apparently that doesn't work for setting them, only reading.
View 1 RepliesI have 4 buttons and on release of any of the buttons it will call a function. How do you apply a function to any member of an array?I've placed "any_btn" into my code below to show what I mean

This program has a green ball (var ballplayer) that theplayer moves around in 3D space using the numpad keys (8, 2, 6, 4)to move the green ball (up, down, right, left). And it also usesthe up and down arrown keys to move the ball along the z-axis.There are also five red balls moving around the screen. As the redballs collide they turn blue. The red/blue balls are z-sorted, sothat the balls closer to the viewer appear in front. The balls allmove around in an invisible cube that they bounce off. Problem: How do I get the player's green ball to be z-sortedwith the other balls? I think I either need to add the green ballto the array called balls before it is sorted. Or create an arrayfor the green ball and then add the two arrays together (if that'spossible) before z-sorting. I tried to add the green ball directlyto the balls array but it didn't seem to work. I'm new to AS3 andprogramming, so I may have made a simple mistake.

I have some 2D arrays. I would like to add a 3rd dimension. How do I add this 3rd dimension?
I don't know if I'm stating this correctly but what I would like to do is have an array that holds a bunch of [thumb.jpg, number, bigpic.jpg]. This way all the values entries are related. So if I wanted to get any of these values I could use the same key value.
I don't know if this makes sense. Plus, do I get the values of the 3rd dimension by using [i][2] in a for-loop? I know that [i][0] gets the 1st dimension and [i][1] gets the 2nd dimension.

The buttons search and find the movie clip in the array flawlessly, but I'm having trouble adding a transition to every movie clip as it is appears. Most tutorials on transitions require a specific instance name, but I want ALL instances to have a transition. Heard the .getChildAt() method is the way to go but cannot find solid guidance on this. Here is the basic code:

var myDishArray = [chicken, steak, tuna, pasta, iceCream];
for each (var btn in myDishArray) {

I am trying to create a drag and drop activity, and I would like to use an array for easy reusability.I'm new to as3 so I've been adjusting my old as2 code. I am using a component for each of my drags and most of it is working well.My problem is with the event handlers. I use the array to populate all of my 'drags' with the information added in their parameters and this works, but when I create my event listeners it seems to only want to move the last item in the array.My drag components are called drag1, drag2, and drag3.[code]
View 4 RepliesThis obviously is not the way to it. I'm trying to add text from an array to a movieclip. The movieclips are created fine but all populated with the last value in the array. I was hoping to populate each instance with the next value in the array.

I'm trying to find a way to manipulate an array; well, two, actually, but I suspect one solution will fix both.
I have an comma-seperated string of numbers pulled from an xml file, that correspond to the correct answers in a multiple-choice exam app I'm working on. The numbers will always appear low to high, but there could be any number of them up to a maximum of 10, for example:
1,3,5
2,3,5,7,8
1,2,8,9,10
I've seperated the list out into an array, but what I'm eventually going to need to do is to compare this array with another array containing the user's answers. The array of their answers won't necessarily have the same number of values as the array of correct answers.
So, I'm thinking one way round this would be to add zeros in between the numbers in each array, so that they will both have the same number of values. To re-write the example arrays above, these would be manipulated to:
1,0,3,0,5,0,0 (for 7 possible answers)
0,2,3,0,5,0,7,8,0 (for 9 possible answers)
1,2,0,0,0,0,0,8,9,10 (for 10 possible answers)
I can then follow the same process for the array of user's answers (which could be almost anything, but will be limited to the maximum number of responses, i.e. 7 for the first array in the above list), and then run a function to compare the two arrays, which will, after adding the zeros, have the same number of values.
I've made several attempts at this, but keep getting tangled up in loops and if statements... I'm not exactly an Actionscript ninja, as you may have guessed by now!
how I can approach the above, or know of an existing script that will do what I'm after?
I have a MC called Enemy. It contains a monster that pops out at a random time (a timer with animation inside the MC). It stays on the stage for a few seconds and then hides again. If it hides, I want it to be removed and another enemy be added instead. All the monsters are instances of Enemy MC that are inside enemies[] array.[code]
View 8 RepliesSo I think I have the hang of adding objects in an array to the stage. Now the next step is creating tweens for those objects and calling the tweens when the objects are added or removed from the stage. I'm not quite sure how to do this, especially since I'm using TweenLite. I guess the first thing I don't know how to do is store the tween in a variable for later use. I've tried something likeCode: Select all (var tween1:TweenLite = TweenLite.to(myClip{x:10, y:50});) But this does not store the tween, it activates it. I want the tween to happen later when I call it.The second part of this would be, once I know how to store tweens in variables, how would I add them to an array? Everything I've tried has been wrong. I tried something like
Code: Select allvar tweenArray:Array = []
tweens[0] = [homeTween, homeTween2];
tweens[1] = [aboutTween, aboutTween2];[code].......
I know you don't use addchild for tweens but I'm not sure what the right command is?

Basically i've got a timer which records how long a user remains in either section A,B or C on my site. Each time the user switches from say A to C, the time spent in the section A is recorded into Array A and so forth.

Top bits are just the button functions....bit in bold is what i would THINK would be the correct way to add the elements together - with a for loop....

I am attempting to push an object into an array based on its instance name on the stage...how do I do this?
On my stage I've simply made a box, turned it into a movie clip named "mcBox" and have given it an instance name of "box_mc" on the stage. Here is my current test code:
Code:
var energy:Number = 0.75;
var boxArray:Array = new Array;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
[Code]....
Since the default amount of energy satisfies the if statement I push the movieClip into the array and then trace it. In my output I receive "[object MovieClip]"...is there anyway to distinguish it by its instance name?
