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";
//magic code converts
[code]......
I can obtain the number of characters in a string using the 'length' action script command. However, I need to know the pixel width of this 'length'?
View 1 Repliesjust a simple example:
var a = new Array()
a["apple"] = "red"
a["orange"] = "orange"
a["banana"] = "yellow"
trace(a.length) //returns 0
get it work?
I am trying to assign a number to a variable that is dynically generated from a binded array...when i try and assign it and trace it out nothing happens, which means I am obviously doing something wrong but I am not sure? just for fun i decided to bind the data to a label like so...

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

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 needed to convert a string representing an array , like :
Code:
var a:String = "[u,[[a,b],[l,m,r,a,f,g,h],[u]],[c,q],d]"
into a real Array, so I started looking in forums, but I couldn't find it, so I wrote my own

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
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)

View 1 RepliesI'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
I am trying to find out what the max length is for a string because since as3 doesnt provide any methods for removing characters from a string by changing the initial string itself, i am going to have to stick to re-initializing.I did a little test to see how long it would take for my program to break using the following code:
Actionscript Code:

The program crashed at a string length of about 500 million.
EDIT:however before it crashed,it performed the incrementations with reasonable performance.

Is there an easy way to get the byte length of a string in AS3? String.length works in many cases, but breaks if it encounters mulibyte unicode characters.(in this particular case, I need to know this so I can preface messages sent across a TCP socket with the message length. This is in standard netstring format e.g. "length:message,").
