ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Array With Dynamic Names From Within Function?
Oct 15, 2009I've got an array (slides) that I parsed from an amfphp return that contains the following data in each array element:
slides = (chapterName, lessonName, slideName, slideText), for every slide in the course
I'm trying to get arrays out this that will look like:
chp1Array = list of Lesson names in that Chapter
chp1Less1Array = list of slide names in that Lesson
chp1Less2Array
chp2Array
chp2Less1Array
chp2Less2Array
chp2Less3Array
etc. etc.
This wouldn't be a problem in as2 but I can't get it to work in AS3 because it gives me errors when I try to create the arrays with dynamic names from within the function? How to get the dynamic number into the array name...

Jun 13, 2009I have a function that is called from a timer event. Every time the event is called I need to create a new Array with a unique name:

I am not sure how to dynamically change the name of an array with as3. Also, just a bonus question, is it more efficient to have a single array broken into partitioned indexes or have several arrays of data?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Hit Testing Against Dynamic Instance Names?
Jun 22, 2010Ok, Background. I have two objects both of which im spawining in though code. We will call them bullets and wolves. They have their own .AS files which tells them everything they need to know about themselves. I figured i would do most of the hit testing on the bullet.AS file, hit testing against the wolves as there were going to be a set number of wolves but not a set number of bullets.o, I named them by running a loop and putting the linenewWolf.name = i.toString();Yes, new wolf is a declared variable, and i is the name of the variable that makes the loop run. I also have a test in it, and it works fine.
However, The hit testing is where i come into an issue. Remember, its on a seperate .AS file. The wolf maker and namer is on the main flash page.The hit testing function isif(this.hitTestObject(a)){i changed up my variable name to run a second loop. first variable name is "i" and the second variable name is "a"And for some reason i get a type error 1034, which from what i understand is an error that you get when two instance names are the same. Also, If possible, i would like to add letters to the name of the object, but im not sure if flash will let me as i belive the code would look something like this

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Instance Names For Dynamically Created Movieclips?
May 28, 2011I am trying to use a for loop, to place 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. In the loop I used .name to give each movieclip a unique instance name. But when I try to reference one of those instance names in an event listener I get an error. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

var xPos:int = 120;
var yPos:int = 60;
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=5; i++) {

This code generates an error saying that the cStar2 property is undefined. In the example above, does the for loop create 5 copies of the movieclip starC_moov, and give them unique instance names cStar1, cStar2, cStar3, cStar4 and cStar5?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Add Dynamic Names To MC's
May 27, 2010I am trying to create a pretty simple image script for a flash website. What it does is to create a container named mc and then loads in an image into the mc from XML. It goes through the XML file like in a for each loop. But the problem I have is that every image container then gets the name mc. So then now when I try to build the function which makes it possible to press on one of the image containers to enlarge them, it only makes the last image larger since that is the last one to be created with the name mc. So how do I give every movieclip that I create a different name such as mc1, mc2 etc.[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: ASP And Dynamic Variable Text Box Names
Nov 23, 2005Having a problem with a Flash/ASP/Database project.I've seen tutorials that pulls address book listings dynamically from the DB. When you hit "next" button it just populates dynamic text fields with variable names like "name" "address" with the appropriate info. Problem I'm having is.. what if you want to display all the entries on the same screen.If the variable names on the dynamic text fields are hard coded named "name" "address" "phone number" etc. , how can the second set of info display underneath the first one properly and not just pull the same text from the first record into the text fields? (name2, address2, etc.)
Is there a way to dynamically change the variable name of a dynamic text field? I'm thinking you should be able to have it note how many records there are, then loop until it reaches the end of the record set. So, can the variable names be dynamic so it will populate the text fields with the appropriate info?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Array Names In A For Statement?
Nov 27, 2007I am making an XML multiple-gallery flash site for a client. The chunk of code I am having trouble with is populating the thumbmails section of the site with all the pictures in all the galleries. The image paths are brought in and stored in an array - one array for each gallery's image paths. The problem is that when I try to cycle through all the images to put them into movie clips (using a fore statement) I am having trouble dynamically addressing the arrays. More specifically, flash interprets them as strings, and does not evaluate the variables in them.
Code:
function images(i){
var temp:Number = eval("g"+i+"im.length");
for (var r:Number=1; r<=temp; r++){
[Code]....
The argument images() takes is the gallery number (from another function). I have tried using eval() and trace to see what the problem is. Basically I can make it output the correct STRINGS, but flash will not convert the variables in the strings! So in the URL (first arg) of loadMovie it is seeing something like "g2im[3]" as a string, and not evaluating it to the value at index 4 of that array.
