ActionScript 3.0 :: Best Method For Finding Length Of A Series In Xml?

May 8, 2009

What is the best/preferred method for getting the length of a series of xml nodes? Currently I am just using a for in loop and using the ending variable value. This is working fine, but seems inelegant/inefficient.

Flash - Finding All Series Within An Array?

Jan 2, 2011

How do I find number of all the series (combinations of an array that have at least 3 consecutive values, like [7,8,9]) and have the longest number of values?

from [3,4,1,2,2] it would be 2 - ([1,2,3,4] twice, but ignore [1,2,3]*2 and [2,3,4]*2)
from [9,6,7,5,8] it would be 1 - ([5,6,7,8,9])

[Code]....

this will create an array ($ranks) that will have these values [2:2, 3:1, 4:1, 9:1]

from this I will be able to multiply the values under 2,3 ad4 4 and multiply them by 3, so I would get 2*1*1 * 3

how to find the consecutive values, and ignore ones that aren't (like the 9)

Finding The Exact Length Of An XML Node?

Sep 12, 2011

I have decided to give XML a go, so I thought I would start with something small : ) and give creating a dynamic menu a try.

I load my menu headings using textField and I can not get my code to find out the actual length of each menu heading. It all produces 100. I wanted to get each individual lengths so I can divide it by 2 and positon that to the center of my menu buttons.

I am also try to turn my menu buttons into buttons, so I can add my eventlisteners, but it doesnt seem to work. The menu text seems to get in the way, even though I made them non selectable.

This is my XML code

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu_list>
<menu title="1">Home</menu>
<menu title="2">About Us</menu>

[Code].....

Actionscript 3 :: Remove Equally Spaced Elements From An Array With Length Of 'n' To Match A Given Length 'y'?

Mar 9, 2011

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.

Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.

However when calling the function foo() from the superclass it traces out Animal not Cat (using a Cat object).How can I make superclass call out methods in the subclass?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Fade A Series Of Pictures One After The Other?

Oct 27, 2007

I want to fade a series of pictures one after the other, such that they'll loop around. I'm calling this a cascade. So to do this, i've placed all of the image names into an array and I set all of their alpha properties to 100 to begin with. I think I then need a for loop that will iterate through the images, fading the image down to 0, waiting for a set period of time and then moving on.

Unfortunately, mcTween will fade all of the images at once in the for loop, so I need to prevent a tween from starting until the one before it has finished. I thought I could achieve this using a while loop and the isTweening property, but when I try and preview the flash movie it just gets into a recurring loop and the program hangs, and has to be exited.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Series Of Images Using XML?

Mar 11, 2010

I am trying to load a series of images into a MC using XML to provide URLs and other image data. The ultimate goal is to place each image (as a sprite?) in it's correct position in a MC, assign it an instance name and make it into a simple button. This button would then be used to load a large version of the image.I can make the images appear on the stage I expect they are only being put into the Display List, but cannot seem to be able to position them at a specific point taken from the 'xpos' and 'ypos' XML data, assign an instance name or make them a button.The code I have so far is:

Code:
//Variables Set
var sect1loaded:Number = 0;
var sectionNum:Number = 1;
var imageNum:String = sectionNum + "_";

[code]....

what I believe I need to do is create a separate class for the image load which can then be used over and over again when needed... I will crack this when I have the core principles hacked.
