I needed to convert a string representing an array , like :
Code:

into a real Array, so I started looking in forums, but I couldn't find it, so I wrote my own

How do I join two strings into a movieclip so that it works out to string1_mc.string2_mc i.e.
var monthID = "monthCal"+newMonth
var dayID = "day"+monthArray[newMonth][e].eventDate;
trace(this[monthID]._name) // this works and traces the correct name
trace(this[monthID].calendar_mc.this[dayID]._name); // this does not work.
the dayID is in calendar_mc, which is in the monthID
I have a nested array that contains an image and a string like this;
[{image:"images/image1", text:"one",}, {image:"images/image2", text:"two",},
Is there a way that I can have a sound (mp3) in each part as well?
I have the following string: "2,26,17,33,6,14,9,29,1"
And an array of int, usedIds.If I do:
private var usedIds:Array;usedIds = "2,26,17,33,6,14,9,29,1".split(',');
I get an array of strings. How can I do it to get an array of int?
I have an old project where there is Variable that holds a string and I want to convert it to Array When I trace this variable (myVar) it shows this string
[Code]...
Something like in loop var myArr:Array = push(myVar[i]) I think can split it. But can't find the right string where I can split and create Array
is it possible to convert a string to an array? for example...
ActionScript Code:
var theString:String = "[{name: Freddy, score: 235}, {name: Quick, score: 987674}]";
var array:Array = ts;
trace((array[0] as Object).name);
// obviously this code doesnt work but i was thinking something along these lines...
Is there a nifty function that will convert a String to an Array in AS(1 or 2)?
Something like:
myString = "1, 2, 4, 3";
myArray = myString;
And then myArray ends up like:
myArray = [1, 2, 4, 3];
Im trying to add the content of a loaded textfile into an array, that's why.
When importing a variable from an external .txt file, I know that it will not properly import an array. I rember seeing a way to convert the string to an array, but I can't find it. Does anyone know the code?
I have used the search button to attempt to find the answer, however that proved fruitless. I know i have seen it somewhere around here, but I just can't find it again.
P.S. Does anyone know if you can import a .txt file from the net if it is imported into a .exe file running on a computer? The computer would have a connection to the internet at the time. would I just put an absolute path into the file parameter? Like: [URL]
is anyone know how to convert array to string??
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to convert a string to an array where the string is the syntax for the array? Something like this:
Code:
var txt:String = "[1,2,3]";
var a:Array = txt as Array;
trace(a.length);
//would trace 3

I'm trying to use one .as file to provide the code for a image gallery that will load different image sets for each web page. I'm using SWFObject to load the .swf and passing it FlashVars like this:

is it possible to do this? And if so how? the xml is converted to an Object using XLEFF; there are five nodes en the specified path: var path:String = "mCb.mXMLloaderObj.dm.lang[0].menu[0].node.length"; trace(path) this will offcourse output just the path as a string. But I want to trace something like: trace(Object(path)); and hopefully get the number 5, which represents how many nodes there are in the specified path in the Object. Is this possibly? Because I can't find anyway to do this

Is there any built in functionality to convert an ArrayCollection to a jagged string array? I have an Arraycollection of objectproxies that I get from a SOAP webservice (asp.net datatable) that I modify and want to send back.
View 1 RepliesThere's an array, lets called it arr1. There is a switch, that pushes argument to this array, but after the switch ends, I'm stuck at join("").split("");
var arr1 = [];
switch (myString) {
case "apple": {
arr1.push("apple");
break;
}}}
arr1 = arr1.join("").split("");
I know is simple, but I never had experience with arrays in flash before, I just realized join("") was used to convert the Array to string, but isn't split reversing this?
I have a string whose length may vary but will always be divisible by 3 and want to push every three characters to an array.
e.g.
var myString = "000111000111";

I'm just trying to make a utility function to convert an array collection into a string.
Supose my item within the array collection (named 'ac') is something like:
Code:
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{property:'foo'},{property:'bar'}]);
I can get the items property if I use a 'for' loop like:
Code:
var acToStr:String = "";
for (var item in ac)
{

when i recieve a boolean out of an array, it's always displayed as a string (true/false).

how do convert the myString var which is a string to the class name?
var myString:String = "movieClipInTheLibraryClassName"
var t:myString = myString()
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();

So I know BlazeDS's standard MXML syntax for creating remote objects. Ex:
<s:RemoteObject id="sim" destination="SimulationWebService" >
<s:method name="getAvailableTargetNames" result="setTargetNames(event)" />
<s:method name="getAvailableToolNames" result="setToolNames(event)" />
<s:method name="getAvailableActionNames" result="setActionNames(event)" />
<s:method name="simulate" result="resetFields(event)" />
</s:RemoteObject>
But this isn't quite what I want to do. This forces me to create an instantiation of the class behind SimulationWebService as soon as the page loads, whereas I may want to do a variety of different things depending on user actions, including not create one at all. How do I create this same object from ActionScript?
I create an array of two-item arrays. However, I seem to get three nested arrays back as the code below is what is required to get to the array. I can not figure out why the middle array exists.

I'm loading data(text) into flash dynamically. I'm loading it into a text box of a fixed length. What code do I need to use to allow that text to scroll right to left, reset, and repeat when the text is larger than the text box.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have to design this scroll bar. Whats special about this scroll bar "contents" it doesn't flow freely. If it stops in a certain position. It either scrolls a little bit up or little bit down so to say the beginning of a paragraph.. I tried using this if _y=min
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to check if any sting of the Array is matched to the string that in the TextField. In the code it should be something like that:

if (TestArrayTextfield_txt.text == (anyString.TestString)){

This should be fairly simple but I understand why it doesn't work. I am hoping there is a clever way to do the following: I have a string 'movieclip1.movieclip2' I have a container movieclip - Container. Now to evaluate the string normally I would look something like: this.container['movieclip']['movieclip2']
Because clip2 is a child of movieclip. But I would like to parse or evaluate the string with the dot syntax to read the string as a internal path. this.container[evaluatedpath]; // which is - this.container.movieclip.movieclip2 Is there a function or technique to be able to evaluate that string into an internal path?

I'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.
I think converting it into string would work with .toString();, but that doesn't get rid of the XML formatting...
