I want to delete the duplicate entries in an array. So I have tried the code I atach to this post. I have proved all the posible combinations but no one seems to work.This is the code I have writen:
Code:
package
{
[code].....
If I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);
View 6 Repliesa problem I'm having with passing some validation in a form im creating.For the sake of getting to the point, I have two Textfields in my form lets say email_txt and friendsEmail_txt. What I would like to do is validate the two fields to make sure the user does not put the same email address in both fields.Im sure I need to do this via a function but I'm lost as to how to go about it. I googled for about an hour and perhaps im not qeurying it properly as I could not find any answers - Im sure there is one.
View 4 RepliesI'm creating something like a text editor. I have text-movieclips at set coordinates. I'm trying to create a function to delete entries. My idea is that my cursor is at the text-mc's coordinate so I'd like to be able to connect the delete key to any clip that happens to match my cursor(x,y). Like this:
if ((Key.getCode() == Key.DELETEKEY)){
if((anytxtclip == cursor._x) && (anytxtclip == cursor._y)) {
delete anytxtclip
}}
I think I'm looking for a world variable to describe anytxtclip.

I'm learning Flash to make a website for one of the companies I work forI have a decent portfolio page that loads content information from an .xml document. I'm just thrilled that it works, but my boss wants a little more.He wants to be able to scroll through the entries with left and right keystrokes. In the glow of my recent array-building triumph, I told him, 'sure, I can do that!' ...but I can't. I can't figure out how to make the left and right keys go to previous or next entries. With previous problems I've been able to find an answer by searching google, but I'm stuck on this one.
Here's my code:
var titleArray:Array = new Array();

How might I go about creating an array, and then use AS to input a range of entries dynamically.
For example, imagine I wanted to create an array with 9 null entries.[code]....
I'm doing a little weather web app in flash.So i read an xml feed and copose an array of data from it.[code]Now what i would like to do is to find and trace the entry in mydate array which have a a value that approach the most to "currenthour" variable (which is my current time i'm getting upper).For exemple if currenthour = 11.In the case that i have myhour array equal to 5 , 10 , 14 , 20.The best match will be myhour[1].

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I am trying to figure out how to do the followingi have 2 arrays (array1 array2) containing movieclip objects and i want to temporarily store the objects i want to delete from those 2 arrays in a separate 3rd array (itemsToDelete), so if certain conditions are met, it will run throught the "itemsToDelete" array and delete the items from array1 and array2

I have a function where I create an array... How to delete it?
View 1 Replieslets say i have an array called numbers with these values: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10i want to call a random number of that array, something like this:
Code:
rand = Math.round(Math.random()*(_root.numbers.length-1));
no = numbers[rand];
then when ive got my value (no) i want to delete it from the array... and thats thproblem... i tried to convert the array to a string and then slice it
How would I go about removing only the first character of an item in an array? All my items are strings, so for example I want to turn this:
pseudo code:
Array["01234","01234"]
to this:
Array["1234","1234"]
Or if that isn't possible, I could just turn each element into a string, modify it and re-Array it. The issue is using split(charAt(0)) isn't correct syntax. I just don't know what function to call and every search turns up only replacing specific characters, not character at a position.
How can i delete just one 'row' from my array?

var ThumbArray:Array = new Array();
ThumbArray[0] = ["70317", "name70317", "2"]

ThumbArray[2] = ["28085", "name28085", "1"]

I have an array containing single alphabet in every index and some of them in the array are duplicates. I'm trying to pick an alphabet and if there is an alphabet in that array, I want it remove from the array.
so lets say if i have 3 "a" in the array, I want all 3 to be remove. But my function only remove one alphabet. How do i make it remove all 3?
Also another question is, if i reach the end of the array how to i remove it? if i use splice it doesnt seem that it will remove the last item in the array.
my code is very simple
for (var i:int = 0; i<alphabetArrayLength; i++) {
if (singleAlphabet_arr[i] == alphabetPicked) {
answer = singleAlphabet_arr.splice(i,1);
}
}

View 7 Repliesway to duplicate an array and then push it into itself?
Do I need to use concat or is there a way I can keep the original array ?
I'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

I need to remove the value associated with a property in a Flex 3 associative array; is this possible?
For example, suppose I created this array like so:
var myArray:Object = new Object();
myArray[someXML.@attribute] = "foo";
Later, I need to do something like this:
delete myArray[someXML.@attribute];
However, I get this error message at runtime:
Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
How do I perform this operation?
I'm trying to use a for loop to remove duplicate array values. I've tried pop, shift, and splice.

I am parsing data from an xml file into an array within my flash file. The nodes within the xml file have common data between them. What I am attempting to do is dynamically push the data in the array without duplicating data already contained in the array. For example I may have an xml file that looks like this:
<videos>
<video>
<title>video1</title>
<thumb>file1.jpg</thumb>
<group>group1</group>
[Code] .....
Say I want to push the "group" data into an array. When it gets to the third "video" node I want the array to see that "group1" already exists so instead of pushing a second reference of it into the array to actually push the secondary data ("title" and "thumb"> into a new array for "group1". I will later use that array to pull up a list of "group1" videos.
I have a xml file in which I'm pulling in a thumbnail image into a array and I'm trying to populate a moveclip and then duplicate it accordingly below it with correct spacing

I'm calling a flash file into the VB application. I'm also executing some code when user clicks on the SWF file.
Pushing a value into an Array is part of the code. What is happening is that.....when i trace the value of the Array, it shows duplicate values.
like if i'm pushing string "A" into the Array......when i trace the array it shows the array as [A,A] with length 2.

if((second_mouse).hitTest(First_random_box))
