The more I get into haXe and cpp the more I'm wondering this about as3. Iteration in as3 is easy in comparison to those languages. But if Array extends Object, overriding getters and setters to create what's basically an IntHash<string> or map<int,string>, and which only takes an int as a key, then why shouldn't the key iterator also return an int? Why does it return a string?
View 5 Repliesin php I could do:
$prices['ford']['mondeo']['2005'] = 4500;
$prices['ford']['mondeo']['2006'] = 5500;
$prices['ford']['mondeo']['2007'] = 7000;

I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
when i run get lastIndexof for an array I get returned the the size of the array instead of the position here is the code:[code]but instead of returning the last index of it before the current index, it returns the current index (or jus the array length). help!!! it is my first time using lastIndexOf so I am probably using it incorrectly.ps this does not include some of the function run (i know i am passing a value which it does not look like i am using, but i know that part of the code works)
View 5 RepliesI'm using a Text Field component to pass the parameter (in this case a 'word') and a Text Area component is bound to the result (the 'definition').This works because the result is a String (which displays correctly when returned to the Text Area obviously). Now, I want to receive an Array as the result instead of a simple String. No surprise, the Array isn't displayed correctly in the Text Area..... it simply says "[object Object]". Can't do much with that....How can I receive this web service "result" in useful form? Can I use AS2 to set the value of an Array variable as the result from the web service (once it's finished)? If so, what's the syntax? FYI: I already know how to tell when the web service is done, just need the syntax for binding an Array variable to the result of the web service.
View 5 RepliesLet's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.

I am working on a flash game that has 'waves' of soldiers kind of like the game Weapon.
what I am trying to do is randomize and array I have which contains strings[code]...
[code]I have information coming in from an XML page. One of the childnodes is an ID. The numbers of the IDs go from 29 to 40. I'm trying to have 6 numbers randomly grabbed from the list, so I made a function to find a random number between a given "Low" and "High" numbers, then another to continuously add 1 if it's already one of the other numbers(I'm pretty sure the method of that part, I could have taken a short cut.)Where it says to trace the two numbers near the top of the find5RandomNumbers function, they trace 29 and 40. But near the bottom where it's told to trace all 6 items, they come back as "NaN."[code]

Code: Select allvar array:Array = new Array("string1","string2","...")
if(text_field.text == array[everything]){

I was wondering if I have an array that is made up of strings. The array is updated with new strings as the user drags and drops objects. Is there a way that I can have the array of strings appear continuously on the stage as feedback?

View 1 RepliesI am working with a function that converts csv data to a multi-dimentional array. I am then going through the characters to find specific situations in the way the strings are handled in the array. One example is if I have a string like - "this is a string, yeah" - then I make sure not to count the comma in the string because it is between quotes from that string. Anyhow In the following function I have some how lost my spaces in the results.Instead of getting "this is AS3" I am getting "thisisAS3". Spaces seem to only be available in the strings that have quotes.
function CSVtoArray(csv:String):Array {
var inQuotes:Boolean = false;
var field:String = "";

I have an array in which the elements have like ID value "imm1", "imm2", "imm3"..."imm10"
the problem is that the sortOn method consider "imm10" lower than "imm2" because it consider 1 and 0 separatly. Then I tryed to write[url]...
but it don't apply the order correctly and I don't know why... maybe because my ID propriety have an alphanumeric value?[code]...
I have an array containing references to movieclips like this
ActionScript Code:
positionsArray = [posi1, posi2, posi3,posi4,posi5];
tooltipArray = [tooltipProy, tooltipAsig, tooltipRota, tooltipActi];
[Code]....
And the result is: tooltipArray = ["tooltipProy", "tooltipAsig", "tooltipRota", "tooltipActi"]; which doesn't work because the array no longer contains references to MovieClips but strings
2. NOT surrounding the name of my movieclip with ""
on (release) {
_root.tooltipArray.push(tooltipProy);
}
Which gives an undefined value
How can I "transform" the strings in the array to references to MovieClips?

I am writing to ask if there is anyone on the list tried to find out the index of elements of an associative array.

See, these are all part of regions array, which I believe is an associative one by the way I constructed it. I tried to use indexOf to find out the index of the individual elements, but don't seem to have too much luck.
ActionScript Code:

I have an array of ingredients for soup as strings. These ingredients are also movieclips in my library, all linked with an identifier. I want to add the movieclips to the stage dynamically.
I tried getDefinitionByName but I keep getting an error that the variable "appel" (veg[0] in this case) is undefined. And basically, I only have a general idea what I'm doing here, so I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me or link me to a helpful tutorial.

I've got an array of Strings each of which have been input by a series of coloured buttons with sounds attached. When a play button is pressed the strings that correspond to different coloured sounds should play one after the other. Instead they all play at the same time as one jumbled mess of noise and I have tried everything to get it to work. The trace shows that the for loop through the array seems to be doing the right thing which is why I can't understand why it won't just play back one after the other.
This is the code for the play button:
PlayBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("PlayButton Pressed");
for(var i:Number =0; i<songArray.length; ++i){
trace("Inside Loop");
trace(i);

I have a multidimentional array already made, brought in from a CSV file via csvlib.I also have the headers in an array and I would like a way to assign this array as the keys for the arrays.here's a simplification. have a data array like so
data[0] -> [0] blue, [1] 1984, [2] wednesday
[1] -> [0] green, [1] 1926, [2] friday
and a simple array of keys/properties (header array) like so:
[0] colour, [1] year, [2] weekday
I'd like to insert the keys to make
data[0] -> [colour] blue, [year] 1984, [weekday] wednesday
[1] -> [colour] green, [year] 1926, [weekday] friday
i've read up into associative arrays a bit and am not getting how to do this. (there's 38 properties so remember which is which is going to be quite inconvenient).I sort of thought csvlib would do this automatically but it appears the headers just exist completely independently.
