ActionScript 3.0 :: Declaring Public Arrays Inside For Loop?
Oct 26, 2009
I'm trying to declare arrays inside a for loop, then access them later as if they were declared publicly/globally. This doesn't work:
Code:
playlist = addChild(new MovieClip());
playlist.header = new Array();
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
playlist.header[i] = playlist.addChild(new MovieClip());
or (j=0; j<6; j++) {
[Code] .....
How would I declare the arrays within the for loop, but still access them later without them becoming undefined?

Is there a way to do this somehow?

I have this little flash movie, that goes full screen when you launch it, there's a big button in the middle that says "Press here", when you press it the screen goes black, and a movie starts playing.
When I run this NOT in fullscreen it works like a charm. The problem is though when I run it in fullscreen it freezes a frame before the movie.
Here's the error I get when debugging: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property ryt on flash.display.Stage.
From what I googled I understood that this was caused because somehow the movie clip is set to private, and flash can not access it.
The solution is to declare this movie clip public.
That's where my AS3 knowledge ends, I tried "public var ryt;" but then it says I have to declare this in some package.

Should I declare the _mcContainer var before the loop or no? (performance increase?)
for(var i:uint = _startIndex; i <= _endIndex; ++i){
var _mcContainer:MovieClip = _mcParent["i_" + _position];
}

I want to declare 8 variables at the class level like this:
Code:
private var graphicDesign1:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign2:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign3:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign4:Sprite;
[code]....
But I would like to do it with a for loop. Is that possible? If so i'm doing it wrong this is what I have.
Code:
for(var i = 1; i < 9; i++){
private var +"graphicDesign"+i:Sprite;
}

I know that as long as a I declare variables inside a function I can only call them as long as the scope of the function is active. Outside of that function the variables don't exist. Is there any way I can create those variables inside a function and use them outside of it?

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?

basically I need a loop within a loop to compare two different arrays in my actionscript3 lottery game. I have attempted the loop but I cannot seem to get it to work ...
[Code]....
So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.

I have searched for this everywhere but it seems like every answer is either overcomplicated or simply does not work, and I know for sure there should be a more simple way of achieving what I need. So, until today, I have always coded from within the timeline. But now I realise why I should code in separate class files. However, I still want to include snippets of code in the timeline for simplicity's sake.

I have to know if a public method has been called from outside the class or from inside. The reason is that depending on this, one of the actions to be executed in this method vary a bit.

I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this
ActionScript Code:
public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {
[code]....
Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.

I have a problem to use each code in for loop. I create 2 Circles in my stage with addChild code. And I gave them function ( mc.x += 2; ) and the time they get to the end of stage I gave the function ( mc.x -= 2; ) but my problem is when one of the circles get to end and wants to move to the right the other circle move with him to the right. and I think the each code in for loop helps me. but I don't Know how to use it in my actions.
my code is:
ActionScript Code:
var mc1:Circle = new Circle();
var mc2:Circle = new Circle();
[code]....
What should I change in this code to use each for loop..?

I wanted to know if there's a way to add more options to a for loop regarding arrays. Say the current position in the loop is 1 (thats where my block is) then i want it to check the array if current position -1, +1,-3,+3. if any of these are null (thus, empty spot.) Because the block moves across a board i need the script to be adaptable.

How can I put array inside another array? E.g.
[AS]
var TU: Array = new Array (a1.TUO, a1.TUI);
var TD: Array = new Array (a1.TDO, a1.TDI);
var TR: Array = new Array (a1.TRO, a1.TRI);
var TL: Array = new Array (a1.TLO, a1.TLI);
[/ AS]
I want to put TU TD TR and TL as an item inside another array as "main array for all those arrays" Like this
[AS]
var MAIN_ARRAY: Array = new Array (TU, TD, TR, TL);
[/ AS]
How can I call or deal with an item for example "a1.TLO" form the main array "MAIN_ARRAY" after we put the arrays inside the main array? I want to know how can i put arrays inside another array "as main array", and how can I deal with the items which are in the arrays which are inside the main array?

I have created an array, which contains all of my menu items. All I want is, when the pointer rolls over one menu item MC, the others disappear.
var titles:Array = new Array("contact_mc","food_mc","links_mc","test_mc", "look_mc");
contact_mc.onRollOver = function(){
titles.pop("contact_mc");
titles._alpha = 0; <<< this is what I want, BUT how do I write the correct Syntax?
}
And does flash know - the items in the array are MC's ... or just strings! ?

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);

In the example below i have two arrays: warmColours and coolColours. I put them in an array called allColours. So far so good.I make a copy of allColours (allColoursClone). I try to edit one of the values of its cloned warmColours sub-array. And here's the problem: changing warmColours in the clone also changes the original.I wan't to make an independent copy of it without any connection to the original.[code]

I have a private class variable that is an array. I have the getters and setters like I would for any other variable. When I push something on to the array from outside of the class using the instancename.arrayname.push() it pushes it onto all of the arrays of all instances of that object like it is a static variable or something.
