ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert Array Of Strings Into MovieClips?
Jan 11, 2010
This is probably not the most clever way of doing what I'm doing but I'm getting stuck either way.I've got a whole bunch of MCs on the stage which I want to interact with, I'm trying to use an array which carries their instance names as strings then converting that string to MovieClip. If there's a better way to do this then I'm all ears.simplified code:
ActionScript Code:
var areaNames:Array = ["buttons.australia", "buttons.international"];
for (var i:int = 0; i<areaNames.length; i++) {

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 have an array of strings. Each string is a name of a class. How can I call the library item with the class name that corresponds to the string in the array?

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 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.

[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]

Is there a way of checking all the strings in an Array in one time ex:
Code: Select allvar array:Array = new Array("string1","string2","...")
if(text_field.text == array[everything]){
doSomething()
}
I already tried "for(var i:Number = 0; i<=array.length; i++){ ..." it just doesn't work well enough enough.

I'd like to easily convert a string of say "dog=Sam&cat=Garfield&mouse=Cheese" into an object of strings.
The object would contain the variable "dog" equal to "Sam", its variable "cat" will be "Garfield", and of course "mouse" the string "Cheese".
There are a number of ways to parse this, but what is the simplest way? I know when you use a URLLoader object, you can give it a dataFormat of URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES and then it automatically converts the data into an object.

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?

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?

How do I create an array of strings from a string, eg."hello world" would return ["hello", "world"]. This would need to take into account punctuation marks, etc.There's probably a great RegEx solution for this, I'm just not capable of finding it.

I 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've made a imput box (textbox) with the name "user" I've declared an array:
var word = new Array(500);
word[0]="";(I need this for first word from a text)
When I try to compare the user.text to word [i] for example even if this values appear at trace() the same, the if (user.text=word[i]) give me everytime false.

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 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 dynamically created textfield, and I would like to convert this textfield into a movieclip containing a childmovieclip for each letter of the text, so that i can animate the letters individually (for example treat them as particles and make them explode). Of course the converted movieclip should still look the same way as the original textfield.

Is it possible to convert a sprite or movieclip with 3d properties such as rotationY = 20 to a Bitmap. I have tried the following method (which works fine if no 3D parameters have been applied):
Code:
mySprite.rotationY = 20;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mySprite.width, mySprite.height, true, 0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmapData.draw(mySprite);
var myBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData, "auto", true);
However this returns the following error: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData I have read that when you use any of the 3D parameters on a sprite or MovieClip, that Flash caches these as Bitmaps - is it therefore possible to get this data and put into a Bitmap variable?
