ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Multiple Arrays Of MovieClip?
Apr 27, 2011
I'm currently trying to program a flash game using actionscript 3.0 where users would step on insects. Basically, I added multiple instances of insects movieclip and remove them by using hitTest function. When the mouse_mc. hitTestObject(insect), there were times the insect was not removed.
Here are the errors I encountered:
Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/swapChildren()
at SteppingGame/hitTest()
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at insectmc/onEnterFrameEvent_SF()
Also, is there anyway I could simply my code like creating multiple arrays of movieclip insectmc?
Here's my as3 code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....

I am creating a computer game with a save game function which outputs the contents of an array to a shared object, so that users don't loose their place.However, I wish for this to work with multiple users, and realise that to do this I need a new seperate "folder" within the shared object being created for each new users data array.I know it must be something like....
// Define the shared object using a "sublevel" for each users data array...
_root.savegame.sublevel = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame"; "/");
// somehow dynamically change "sublevel" to the contents of the var "currentUser" as defined when the user logs in when the game loads up.
OR...
//Define the shared object but using a variable title for the actual SO...
_root.savegame = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame_currentUser", "/");
//with that "currentUser" being dynamically substituted for the contents of the var "currentUser" which is defined when the User logs in when the game loads up.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

I'm having trouble creating multiple instances of one movieclip. I've got an array set up that loads photos into flash and places them in a grid (sort of). I want those photos to have outlines around them. So, i created an outline. Now, when i try to place it on all of the photos, it will run through them and only apply itself to the latest photo (one instance overwrites the others). How do i make multiples of the outline?

I try to create multiple text fields in a movieclip. However, the one created later always overwrite the one created immediately before it. Below is the code in the first and only frame in the application:
create2TextFields();
function create2TextFields()
{
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",this.getNextHighest Depth());
[Code]....
The code is writen in AS2 and Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and tested with Flash Player 10.
When I ran it in Flash Player 10, I only saw message2 displayed on the stage. When I stepped through the app in Adobe Flash Professional CS5, I found that as soon as message2 text field was created, message1 text field which was being displayed on the stage disppeared.

I have made a movieClip (mcMask) which I can use to mask another movieClip containing a bg image (mcImage). I have given the image movieClip an instance name(bg_mc) and I have given the mask movieClip a class of "Mask" in the "linkage" field. Now, I want to create multiple "Mask" movieClips using AS3 and use these to mask the image movieClip (bg_mc).The problem comes when I want to call the instance names of the "Mask" movieClips and set them to be the .mask value of the image movieClip.Because they are created from a class dynamically they don't have instance names. Is there a way to easily give them all instance names and then call them to use as masks? Or is there another way of calling them without assigning instance names?
Code:
//creates Var to create new "Mask" movieClips
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 999999);

I've created a flying bird movieclip. Now I just want to make a flock but I don't want to use action script. I can reuse the same movieclip but then they are all identical. They are all flapping their wings at the same time. Which isn't really realistic. And any changes I make to one of them, they all change. What I want to do is say, if I click and drag my bird animation into the stage three times I'll have three flying birds. But now I want to change them individually. For example, have each flapping their wings at different speeds etc. Is this possible?

I am trying to create an array from data in a text file.The text file data is like so:&track1=Paradise Lake&track2=Somewhere Else&track3=Another Placeetc..What I am trying to do is take all tracks and put them into an array so that i can attachmovies to the stage referencing them. So far if I try a:
Code:
trace[myVars.track1]
for instance, it spits out the correct variable into the output window.

Doing something wrong with this:
I have four arrays holding data:
id_array:Array;
last_name_array:Array;
first_name_array:Array;
condition_array:Array;
I have a for loop with counter set to the number of items in the arrays, with the idea of inserting data from each array into the fields of the following DiffArray. I am getting Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference and I cant see why.

how to use an array to create a back button for something I've made in Flash. I wish it was as easy as making the back button go to the previous slide, but there are several branching scenarios where that scenario won't exactly work. I purchased a membership to Lynda.com in order to try and learn AS3, but the section they have on arrays in AS3 doesn't come close to teaching me what I need to know for this kind of operation.

I've got four arrays which I want to use to create objects on the stage.
The first one is what the Object Class is called.
The second one is what I want the instance name to be.
The third and fourth relate to the x and y co-ordinates respectively.
ActionScript Code:
var objectName:Array = [Background, Frame, Up, Down, SideBar, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, Titles,
TimeBar, TimeBarSlider, Stop, Play, Pause, ThumbnailOutline, Thumbnail];
var instanceName:Array = [bg, frame, up, down, sideBar, yellow, green, pink, blue, titles,
TimeBar, timeBarSlider, stopBtn, playBtn, PauseBtn, thumbnailOutline, thumbnail];
[Code] .....
The "i" would relate to the parameters for the same object. So, if i = 0, then the Object Class Name would be: 'Background', the instance name would be 'bg', the x position would be '0', and the y position would '0'. What code would I need in the for loop to create this?

THE CODE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK ,I want to create 10 moveiclips each with unique name, which I can move around or maybe load things into later. At the moment the trace returns 'undefined' so the movieclips aren't even being created.

so I have writing a function that returns objects on the stage and puts them into an array. and the function works fine until i call the function on more than one object name, meaning if im in the root class, and I call this function on object1 lets say it will add all the object one's from the stage, but if i call it on object2 it will throw an error, which makes some sense, i guess it means that it is not adding it to a unique array, but im not sure how to do that. would it be a good idea to maybe make a multidimensional array? if that is the case would it be too slow?

I have been making a game and have run into some problems I want to make a hitTestObject between multiple arrays, i have tried something like this:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i].y -= 10; //Moves object up
for(var a:Number = 0; i < array2.length; a++)
[Code]....
When i run it, some object will detect the collision and will output "hit", but some will ignore that. I have also noticed that some object in the array1 stop running the move code (array1[i].y -= 10) after i have added another array.

I am attempting to search multiple arrays (over 300) for a specific value which will then determine if that question is to be loaded. I have used these over the years as the quizzes simply loaded questions randomly. Now I am appempting to move this into a computer adaptive test format. I have most everything worked out except for this part which is the key to the project.
What I have is 300+ arrays like the ones below. Once a student answers a question either correctly or incorrectly a difcal value is assigned. It is that value I need to search for to determine which question to load.
For example if the student answered a question incorrectly and the difcal was calculated as -4.03 (difcal values are always in array element[0]) I would need to search the all arrays to find that value and then load that array into the question function.
Code:
var q1:Array = new Array();
q1[0] = -4.03;
q1[1] = 0.57;

I just have another really quick question about Arrays, this time about Sorting them. I have just re- written my code to work for matching values from 2 arrays and then adding them to the screen.
however it seems as my matching is way off, it matches the items that are at the same index, which is not always the case
The output for the matches, which should be side by sideis as follows (which is incorrect) Therfore i am trying to find values at diffrent index levels

I tried to sort the Array, but it seems as though the array, cannot be sorted the way i want it. I simply wanted to sort it Acending, but changing it to lowecase would not do what i needed it to do.
This is the code, matchInfo function should do all the work
package {
import flash.display.*;

I have two arrays - one for movieclip buttons and one for images. The idea is - rollover a button and it loads it's respective image. I have a loop for the button array that pretty much loads each button and creates a rollover state for it. At the moment it just traces what button the mouse is over. The problem is trying to load the correct image based on that button. The way it is now - it will only load the same image for all the buttons.
Code:
tagPosition = 0;
viciousImgs = new Array("vaI1_mc", "vaI2_mc", "vaI3_mc", "vaI4_mc", "vaI5_mc");
viciousButs = new Array("va1_mc", "va2_mc", "va3_mc", "va4_mc", "va5_mc");
vicious = new Array("vicious_mc", "uTitle_mc", "uTxt_mc", "uButs_mc", viciousImgs, viciousButs);

- I tried, when I first started making this site, to load all of the artwork images into an array and then copy the array before resizing them for their specific functions (being seen as thumbnails or as full size pics.) Unfortunately, I ran into the well known issue of Array cloning only creating a pointer to the same group of items. I tried the newArray = oldArray.slice() trick, but it didn't seem to work. Finally, I just loaded the images twice into two separate arrays, and it works, but I hate this solution. Anyone got a better one?
- I'm trying to maintain some sort of connection between the two sets of Arrays so that, for example, when someone clicks on Thumbnail 15, Fullsize Image 15 will open up but I couldn't find anything that worked. Renaming the Instance Name dynamically didn't seem to work and adding an Instance Variable dynamically doesn't seem possible either as I can't make the Class I am working with (Sprite, in this case) dynamic ahead of time. I'm sure there's a simple method for this.opens up, the different animations seem to interfere with each other and slow each other down (they also seem to get interference from the time taken to load the image Arrays.)

},
{"id": 2675,
"place": "WASHINGTON (DC)"

I can get the data from the first array, but how would I structure my code so that I could iterate through 2 or more "term" arrays?
