ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Inherited Function By Associative Array
Feb 15, 2011
I am writing this post because i have not found an answer to this. I wrote a class that will get several function names and then proceed to call them. Thing is, i want this code on a base class, which is on a separate swc.
[Code]...
If i override the createThing function, and add the exact same code, there is no problem. Is there a way around this? I think this is a bug on AS3 not distinguishing its real context, but i am not sure.

I'm having a hard time calling a method from a particular class within a MVC design pattern. I'm successful at calling the methods from the base (Model) class but haven't been able to call methods from it's subclass (PhotoModel).
My Objective From within the Controller subclass (PhotoController) call a method from my the Model subclass (PhotoModel).
In my document class file I have the following code which connects the two classes together.
PhotoDocument.as
ActionScript Code:
public class PhotoDocument extends MovieClip
{
public var photoModel:PhotoModel;
[Code]....
I thought that defining the model class in this way would declare the PhotoModel class as the model for the PhotoController class, therefore letting me call it's methods and any inherited methods with syntax similar to this; model.method();. Using this syntax I can call the methods in the base Model class but not in the subclass where I've defined additional methods the base Model class does not have.
I've tried a billion different ways to call the methods inside the extended model class but have only a huge pile of failure to show from it.

I'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code

I'm trying to improve the way in which i write my code for example:
Code:
var equations:Array=["one","two","three"];
var activeEquation:String;[code]....
I know thats completely wrong but it kind of shows the direction I want to head in. Basically what I'm trying to achieve is some way of calling on functions stored in an array.

In the below code, "sector" is an indexed array.fsector1, fsector2,fsector3 are Associative arrays.The "gotoAndStop" command doesnt work properly.The last trace command, "curTerr" returns the same value as "curSec",leading me to assume i did not define "curTerr" properly.
Actionscript Code:
function loadmaptest(){ sector = ["fsector1","fsector2","fsector3"] fsector1 = new Array(); fsector1["terrain"] = "grass"; fsector2 = new Array();

I would like to repeat a block of code within a function in Flex, which is the best way to do this, I would like to do this without making a new function?
The code currently is:
Code:

{
logger.info("Photos.getPhotos: Photo[{0}] downloaded", rawPhoto.pid);

How would one go about calling a function of an object that is stored within a multidimensional array? I keep getting TypeError: Error #1006.
Code calling the function:
ActionScript Code:
_board[i][j].drawPiece(xPos, yPos);
Code of the function:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawPiece(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
_piece_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000);
[Code]....
The object is there. When tracing out the array for specific index it provides:
[object Piece].
Or would it just be best to use a single dimensional array? End goal is to have a board class to be able to use for checkers and then potentially chess.

I am writing to ask if there is anyone on the list tried to find out the index of elements of an associative array.
[Code]....
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:
for (var s:String in regions) trace("
" + indexOf(s));
Right now, this does not bring me a thing. Have I done something wrong here?

I have been following tutorials but they don't seem to cover exactly what I'm doing.I have an associative array of values called definitionsArray which I use as references to instantiate classes in a run time shared library.I instantiate and push the object into a new array. The problem is when I try to access or do anything basically with that new array.As they are objects they don't seem to like being in a display list for example.
ActionScript Code:
var definitionsArray:Array;
var bubblesArray:Array;

I have loaded XML into flash and everything is great. I have an Associative Array that makes a dynamic menu and everything is great.
What I would like to do is combine the two and have my loaded XML fill up the Array and the dynamic menu.
Here is the XML portion:
Actionscript Code:
//Importsimport flash.net.URLLoader;import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.events.Event;//Create XMl variablevar teamsXML:XML;//Create URL Loadervar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();//Tell the URLLoader named XMlLoader to listen for the xml //file to finish loading, then run the function

in many programming languages there is this great idiom that lets you use a hash to count occurrences of items. Eg in Perl, suppose you have a list of students and you want to see how many of each name you have (2 Bobs, 1 Jeremy, 22 Aidans etc):
my %uniqueNames;
for (@studentNames){ $uniqueNames{$_}++; }
# print it out[code]....
So you can do this in ActionScript 3 of course, using the Object.The problem is NaN. If you try to autocreate and autoincrement a key at the same time, you get NaN, and the whole thing breaks down.Sure, you can use a conditional to test whether the key exists, and then autoincrement it, or set it to one if not, but that's ugly.
studentNames[name] = studentNames[name] ? studentNames[name] + 1 : 1; // shudder

How do I push an entry into an associative array?
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Object = new Object({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]...
This doesn't work. The first name and last name work because they are created when the object was created, but the pushed middle name remains undefined.I understand that associative arrays are in fact objects. I tried turning it into a real array so the Push command would work cause it's part of the Array Class.
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Array = new Array({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]....
Though this works, it only works when using a '1'. When in fact I want to keep it inside the '0' entry.So how do I really add an entry into an assciative array? So that in above example instead of each having two elements one is added resulting in three elements per entry?

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.
