I have an xml file that I pull values out of and push into an array. I want to use a value from the array as the name of a movieclip but I keep getting the following error.[code]...
View 2 RepliesHow can I target a movieclip that is inside each item in the array using getChildByName. Heres my code so far:
var aMC:Array=new Array(letter, envelope, parcel);
if(i< aMC.length){
var myTargetName:String = aMC[i].target.name;
var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here
i++;
}}
I have what I think should be a very simple problem. I have an array and can access an element of it like this:
var test = finalArray[0];
Will be a number between 1 and 7
say this will trace a number.No there is a movieclip on the root of stage whose name is a letter (always the same, say "R") and whatever the number is. I'm trying to get this movieclip to gotoAndStop at the frame corresponding to the number that is test. However this isn't working:
"R"+[test as MovieClip.gotoAndStop(test)];
I'm receiving this error and trying to find out why:
"TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@2dff7d29 to Array.
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()

I have 5 movieclips on the stage I'd like to make into an array and apparently that's not ok? Here's my script:
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var buttons:Array = new Array();
var targets:Array = [can1, can2, can3, can4, can5];

I've been trying yo convert Lee 3D carousel tut to AS3 and it pretty much there apart from one thing. I took Lee's as2 carousel 2 and applied what I know to convert it to AS3. I couldn't work out how to re-index each item properly. When the last item in the XML should appear under an item to it's left or right it does not due to numbers being rounded from the scaleX value being too close and causing the same number to be generated from more than one item therefore last item to be processed ending up on top. I've tried a few alternatives, but nothing has worked so far. Hopefully that makes to sense to someone.
If you download the files from Lee's tutorial http:[url].... open the fla, change the publish settings to Flash Player 9+ and AS3, remove all existing AS code, check the library item linkage as I've capitalized everything and add the following to the root timeline.The code causing the problem is this in the function mover:
Code: Select allvar index:int = Math.floor(mc.scaleX*10);
Code: Select allvar loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);[code].............
I put my mc's in an array.I have another array with strings.when the mc is clicked I want to get its position in the mc array and return the string from the same position in the string array.How do I do that?

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?
I have this code to try to acess the values of the array in the arraycollection but it does not work it actually creates a value to the end of the arraycollection. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong i basically whant to modifys the individual arrays in the arraycollection and add Login_user.
Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i< dispArray.length; ++i){
dispArray.addItemAt({"login_user":"XXX"},i);
}
I have an embedded xml file which I'd like to have a property like this:
<level missions="[m1,m2,m3,m4,m5]"/>
I'd like to know how can I convert the string value [m1,m2,...] into an array, in order to get its value by index (a[0] == "m1", a[1] == "m2", etc.)
I tried Array(xml.levels.level.@missions)[0], but to no avail :)

first off, for those who don't know, a normal array is a set of data contained in a variable, created like so:
var myArr:Array = new Array("data1","data2","data3");
[code]...
(because it starts counting from 0, not one) A multidimensional array is just an array of arrays.created like so:
var myArr:Array = new Array(new Array(1,2,3),new Array(4,5,6));
and called like so:
myArr[0][1]
which gives:
2
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I have a set of 24 movieclips, which I'd like put into a multidimensional array containing 8 arrays, each containing 3 movieclips.
Code: Select allfunction addArrayDimensions() {//takes the clips array on root, and makes it an 8x3 multidimensional
for (i=0; i<_root.clips.length/3; i++) {//while i<8...
//assign the first three items of clips[] to a new array, and put it at the end of clips[]
[code]...
Right now, it's taking the clips array (which we'll pretend contains this data: [1,2,3,4,5,6.....])and then runs through the function, and then returns it exactly as it was before. (1,2,3,4,5,6....)How can I take an array, and make it into a multidimensional array?
I have a PHP socket server that serves an AS3 client. Currently the server is working correctly and clients are able to message each other. The issue is that I need to send an array of all the players from the PHP client list to the newly connected flash client. Below is the code that receives the socket data. When the user first connects the socket sends a string list of all the clients. I need to have access to the raw array form without workarounds.
[Code]....
The issue is that although the above does send the user something, it appears to be just a string that says "Array". I have tried xml[0] to see if I can access the array, trace statements and .length with no luck. Is there any way to pull the PHP array out of the XML socket?
I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}
below is my script,to sum up the number in my array....but the output is all the numbers in array and not the sum up numbers....
CorrectMark =correctArray[0]+correctArray[1]+correctArray[2]+ correctArray[3]+ correctArray[4];
display.text=CorrectMark;
I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....
I know that I need some sort of removeChild() in there, but I cannot get it to actually work.
When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....
Hw to add an item to the front of an array? this works fine, but not sure if its the most "poetic" code around.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have one array with items. now I want to remove all items from array. How it can be possible ?
View 7 RepliesI have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?
var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

I have two two-dimensional arrays, and this line of code:
openListParents[compWith] = openList[olID];
Does it work? Yes. However, openListParents[compWith] becomes openList[olID], but I want openListParents[compWith] to be the value of openList[olID]. This is what I get when I press CTRL+ALT+V:
[Code].....
This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);
View 3 RepliesHow do you specify a certain item to be removed from an array?I know how to remove an item of a certain position, for example:
array.splice(1,0)
BUT, if I have an array with the following items:

and I want to remove the item "4" without referring to its position, is there a way to do this?
What I have: 2 buttons on stage (NEW_YORK and CHICAGO) which are given an onRelease function trough a forLoop (so far so good).
What I need: For those to buttons to trace their own array item when i press them.

I enclosed the .fla.[code]...
So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.
Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip

var deck:Array =
[Code]....
When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.

View 5 RepliesI'm generating an array from a string, then place the item to a text field.It works OK if there is no commas, if an item has commas, then the item is considered as multiple items. How can I have ?For example if the string is like the one below (with | as the delimiter):
C1_3_ans = "item 1|item 2|item 3, with some commas, here"
var errorSelected:Array = C1_3_ans.split("|");
errorSelected would be come [item 1,item 2,item 3, with some commas, here] instead of 3 items, it becomes 5 items.How can I keep the 3rd part of the text as one item?
How do I add an item to a multidimensional array? I want to add the price to item2 but I get "push is not a function"
