ActionScript 3.0 :: Push Multiple Strings Into An Array, And Some Of The Strings Are The Same?
Aug 24, 2009I 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.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Code-produced Shapes Into Symbols/clips/sprites?
Nov 24, 2010I'm working on a project that involves making a globe in flash which will have many particular points (all the worlds major cities by using their longitudes and latitudes). It's all 2D made to look 3D.To make the "Sphere," I put together some code that stacks a bunch of ovals that creates the illusion of space, ala the code below...
//AS3
function magicTrigFunctionX (pointRatio){
return Math.cos(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
}
[code]....
Now, my problem is that in order to assign the longitude and latitude information I need to be able to address each oval individually (not only which one, but also eventually the angle/radians of each oval for the latitude) and I've run into a snag...I don't know how or perhaps exactly what to do, because I know how to make it a symbol and class if the object was already made visually using the oval tool in the tool bar, but I can't figure out (after taking a bit of time looking up on how to use arrays and classes) how to do it in the AS3 code where I actually made the "sphere."
IDE :: Converting Strings To Numbers - Inconsistent Trace Between PPC And Intel Macs?
May 26, 2009We're making a simple input text comparisons vs. some constant floating point numbers (e.g. 4.35). Using Actionscript 2 to Flash 9 export.
Code:
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)))
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)==4.35))
trace((Number(435/100)==4.35))
[code]...
In the order listed above, I get the following trace when I export via Flash CS3 (9.0) on my PPC mac:
number
boolean
true
true
[code]....
The same exact FLA file, unmodified, gives the following trace output on 2 different intel macs (one mac pro, one imac) using Flash CS3 (9.0).
number
boolean
false
false
[code]....
have a clue why this is giving falses for statements such as "(Number(435/100)==4.35))", "(435/100==4.35)" or "(Number(input_txt.text)==4.35000)" but ISN'T giving a false for (Number(input_txt.text)==(435/100)) (NOTE: input_txt.text is an input field which contains the string 4.35) I'm expecting the latter since they're generally intel chipsets too??
Note: once i compile the code on my PPC mac, intel macs that run the SWF (but don't recompile the FLA) do return the correct booleans that match the PPC output.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieving Variables From Text File / Converting Strings To Dates
Nov 9, 2008I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

Oct 4, 2004im going through ASDG, page by page, and learning everything from scratch. he's explaining datatypes, i.e. strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, etc...i get that. then he goes into explaining how to convert datatypes from numbers to strings using "toString" , and then strings to numbers using "Number()"...and then later, strings to booleans and stuff. My question is this. where someone would want to turn a number into a string or a string into a number? and how would someone even turn a string into a number? i dont understand how that works.

Mar 19, 2012I'm having one of those brain cramp days..I'm trying to add a number of items (sprites) from an array to the stage. There are 5 items in the array, and I want to randomly pick one of them, add it to the stage, and do this 100 times.My end result only has 5 items. I can see why, because when I try to add the same item again, it replaces the previous placed item. I can't think of how to duplicate the item in the array to add as a new Sprite

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Numbers In Array To Not Be Strings
Feb 27, 2012[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]

Why does it return a string?
