I'm trying to convert items in a dynamically created array into Display Object references. I can assure that all the objects mentioned in the array below are currently on the stage when this function is running and the have also previously been added to the display list.[code]..
View 4 RepliesOk so I've been battling with this code for 2 days now. I simplified my post and deleted my other thread.Here goes
Code:
//temp assuming DefaultValue1 is being passed to flash
// which it will be if this was published[code].....
At this point I either need to figure this out or find another option.I need to display the 1st 6 items in my array and on press of the next button i need to display the next 6.
I found a good class to convert XML to Array of Objects just like SimpleXMLSecoder do in flex.
The problem is the class does not convert it to array if there is only 1 node. I tried to modify it without success.
e.g.
[PHP]import eu.rotundu.xml.*;
var s:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
/*var list:XML = <books> <book publisher="Addison-Wesley" name="Design

The above code returns length if I use the commented list. I want to create 0 index Array if there is one element only.

I'm receiving this error and trying to find out why:

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 flash.display.MovieClip;
var buttons:Array = new Array();
var targets:Array = [can1, can2, can3, can4, can5];

In a Flex project, I have an array with objects in it. I want to save this array in a cell on a mysql table along with some other basic info like title, and an id. How to echo all the rows... I'm trying to echo the contents of an array that was serialized and placed in a single cell. This array has objects in it. So, I have this code here to serialize the array, and insert it along with the other info into my DB:
function submitLogDbObj($array,$id,$title) {
$title=mysql_real_escape_string($title);
return mysql_query("INSERT INTO logs (text,id,title) VALUES ('".serialize($array)."','$id','$title')");
}
Then for a test I'm trying to make a loop that will display the log in a way that looks like a conversation... An object in my array would look something like:
[1]
icon = ""
msg = "this is a test"
name = "Them: "
systemMsg = 0

I'm creating an array from an XML file, attaching a movie clip to another movie clip for each object in the array, then creating a dynamic text field and inserting text from the XML file within each new movie clip, then applying a tween to each array object.
ActionScript Code:
var sectionData_arr:Array = new Array();
function buildSectionMenu(){
sectionData_arr = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(_root.configXML.firstChild,"/config/content/section");
[Code].....
The problem is that since the AS in on the first frame, the script is run and then everything is dumped out onto the first frame. How do I display the tween for each object in the array sequentially? Should I use setInterval? Or should I attach each object to a specific frame?
How can I use arrays and some how display my objects accordingly based on my code below?What I have here are three buttons that when clicked a new clip is added to the stage with a predefined position which means that when button1 is clicked the MovieClip will be added at the very top and when button2 is clicked the MovieClip will be added at second and when button3 is clicked the clip will be added at the very bottom, but what I would like to do is to be able to dynamically position these objects based on how many clips exist, in other words if button3 is clicked first, I want the clip to be positioned at the very top and if later button1 is clicked the clip is positioned Accordantly (at second place).
I know this may be simple, in fact I could probably use a few IF statements but I know the code would look ugly (yes, even more) and I may have add more buttons later. What I would be awesome is to some-how use arrays or something that makes more sense to hold the MovieClips and then display them accordingly.
Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem1, false,0,true);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem2, false,0,true);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addItem3, false,0,true);

When using Loader class to load display objects (bitmaps, SWFs...) from remote URLs, is there any way for them to be instantiated (referenced as we know, by Loader::content property) as some user specified valid subclass? For example if I had a class that extended a Bitmap, is there any way for the loaded object to be of this class?
View 9 RepliesIs there any way to display flash objects which are outside the display area when flash is embeded in HTML
The reason i ask is my current project has a rotating + enlarging effect which is largely dynamic so sometimes an object may clip the edge of the stage areathis looks messy but i dont want to increase the stage area to cover the largest possible area any object could enter because most of the time the objects are at the center and small so i would end up with a lot of white space
I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).
can I resize a display object (container) without its contents (children) are resized?
For example, in the following code when I resize the green square, red is also resized. I wanted to resize only the green.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);
[Code].....
How do I identify all the display objects in the display list in ActionScript, bellow the one that I have clicked? All the other objects are shadowed by the first one. What if other objects have visible parameter as hidden?
View 1 RepliesHi guys I get this coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Shape@41754601 to flash.display.

I am working on trying to collect data within an array (which works) and this data is collected when a button is pressed or selected. I also want the ability to remove an item from the array if the button is pressed again. Currently, I have these buttons dynamically generated and everything works well. The buttons have ids applied to them. SO what I am trying to get working is, if I select button 0, 2, 3 (0 indexing), the data array created holds [A., C., D.]. I want to remove A. after I click button 0. Instead, it seems to cause problems. What I am doing wrong with splicing??? trace statement:
A. items so far selected
selected items are: 0
A.,C. items so far selected

I'm so proud of myself. I figured this out all by myself and thought I would share. (If you can't tell, I'm new to AS) I needed a way to grab an item in a specific location and have it return an array of items. Here is how I did it:

View 1 RepliesI have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]
[Bindable]
private var _list:ArrayCollection;

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?

Actionscript 3.0 looping through stage and DisplayObject items. I'm trying to convert to Actionscript 3.0 and I'm trying to find out how to loop through Stage objects as well as DisplayObject.
With AS 2.0 - I would only have to do:
for(var i in _root) // or MovieClip, this, etc { trace("i: " + i + " [i]: " + _root.[i]);}
In AS 3.0 I found this equivalent which works w/ some objects:
public function debug_object(o:Object, show_all:Boolean):void {
import flash.utils.*; var def:XML = describeType(o);
var props:XMLList = def..variable.@name; if(show_all)
props += def..accessor.@name;
for each (var prop:String in props) {
trace(prop + ": " + o[prop]); }}
this.showChildren(Stage);
This kind of works but the o[prop] always traces undefined and it's not showing any movieClips on the stage. I would like to be able to have the debug object function be able to take Stage and DisplayObject arguments like such:
this.debug_object(Stage, true);
this.debug_object(flash.display.DisplayObject, true);
I am trying to display a list of items in a datagrid from a XMLList.
<Series no="1">
<file>
<filenum>1</epnum>
<prodnum>4V01</prodnum>
[code]...
My current code allows me to retrieve every Series into an XMLList and then i have a nesteddatagrid class that allows me to do things like.
<classes:NestedDataGrid width="100%" height="100%" id="gridFiles" dataProvider="{filesList}" >
<classes:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Season" dataField="@no" width="60"/>
[code]...
However this displays the datagrid with two rows, the first row has 1 in the Series column and then the two files crammed into the second cell in the same row. The second row is the same but has the number 2 in the Series column and the two series #2 files crammed into the cell next to it.If i do not use the nested data class i can pull the files using Series.file instead and all 4 of the files list correctly, however i do not get the Series number for each...

View 0 RepliesI'm creating my first game in Flash mx. Its a conveyor belt game where toys move from left to right. There are several boxes located underneath the belt. The user has to drag and drop each toy into its correct box. I want each toy to continuously come out in a random order. (1 idea) randomly select movie clips from the library? Each movieclip representing a toy.
