I have an array with several text inputs and 2 buttons. How can I test what kind of object they are? I tried this but doesnt work.
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < newClientFields.length; i++)
{

Why doesnt my Array work? I get this message:

I want to find a way to only allow certain objects into an array that have a certain word in thier class name. Or at least find the optimal way of doing something like this. Heres the details. I have an Array that stores all the objects dropped into a cart.
function addProductToArray (e:MouseEvent):void{
currMC = (e.target as MovieClip);
myCart.itemsInCart.push(currMC);
trace(myCart.itemsInCart);}

I recieve the following error..Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Stinger@d8d43a1 to Array.[code]where laser.wielder is an Array that gets declared inside of the StingerLaser Class. As of right now, there is only one type of object I am trying to put into the the array. And that is stingerWhen trying to add an object that is type Stinger to an Array.[code]If no one can figure this issue out, atleast I would like to know how loose is an Array in actionscript? Can it take all types of classes or just classes that are of the same parent class or what?.
View 4 RepliesWhat happens when an object which has a function currently being executed has all its references removed?I want to have a dialog box type object held in an array by the main class for my program, and when the dialog needs to be closed, I want it to be removed from the array during that close-screen function. My question is, assuming the dialog box object is in all other ways eligible for garbage collection, what happens to the code it's supposed to be executing?
Edit for clarification:The array is a layer of visual elements in my program, of which the dialog box is one. The idea is that the "OK" button (or whatever) that closes the box will also remove it from the array of objects being displayed at the same time.
I've been trying to get JSON working with AS3 for a while now, but to no avail. I keep getting the following error when I get the JSON back:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@26331c41 to Array.
I've tried changing the datatype of the variable "jsonData" to object, which fixes the error, but I'm not entirely sure how I can parse the data.

say i have an xml node like this:

how would i go about parsing that out into an Object so that it looks like this:

I have this code, and in the end, where I am trying to removeChild(ball) I get an error:
[Code]...
We create Objects in flex by declaring type Object. for example
var objSampleObject:Object = new Object();
and we create properties directly with dot operator without creating any class
[Code].....
My question is in above process is there any class is created internally by flex?
The title might be a little misleading. Look at my code and I will explain
public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void
{
if(tileDir != "empty")
{
tPoint = new Point(0,0);
tRect = new Rectangle(0,0,30,30);
[Code]...
I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.
I have a Class as follow:
class com.flightstatus.SpecificationFlight
{
public var Airline:Airline;
public var FlightNumber:String;
[code]...
Now I want to create a array of above type like below:
var myArr:SpecificationFlight = new Array();
This type is very crucial as it will be sent over webservice.
so here goes the description of what i'm (trying) to make : i want to make a slideshow with AS 3, it will load external image which the location will be written in xml after it has load all the image it will play by itself and change beetwen image with transition.. well i manage to : read the xml, load the picture one by one and convert it into a bitmap tipeafter convert it to a bitmap tipe data i save it into an arrayafter all the image has been laoded , converted into bitmap and saved into array to display the image itself i first add the the image which has been save into the array to the container that i specially made to hold this (well actually because transition manager can only have effect on MovieClip).
myMCContainer.addChild(myImageArray[imageIndex]); that's how i display it (of course i have added "myMCContainer to the stage").
well the real problem is when i tried to use remove child fo myMCContainer it give me error #2025, and when i tried to check number of child that myMCContainer has it returned 0 even after adding the image...

I have a quick question for you all. I'm trying to convert over some ActionScript code to C++ and am having a difficult time with this one line:
private var edges:Vector.<Array> What is this exactly? Is this essentially a multidimensional vector then? Or is this simply declaring the vector as a container? I understand from researching that vectors, like C++ vectors, have to be declared with a type. However, in C++ I can't just put down Array, I have to use another vector (probably) so it looks like:
I don't expect you guys to know the C++ equivalent because I'm primarily posting this with AS tags, but if you could confirm my understand of the AS half, that would be great. I did some googling but didn't find any cases where someone used Array as it's type.
I'm trying to do something such as:
Code:
var n:Node = openList.shift();
I know that all of the data contained inside openList is a type of Node object, but Flash returns an error. I don't know how to typecast such as placing (in another language)...
Code:
(Node) openList.shift();
...to tell Flash that the data returned will be a Node object.
Better yet, is there a way to specify, while declaring the array, the type of the data that will be placed in it?
I could just take the :Node tag out from my variable declaration, but this might be in a tutorial, so I should at least act like I believe half the stuff about proper coding I write about
I am recently working with an application. Where I need 4 unique values from an array in such a way that it should checking random item every time.
For eg:-
Main_Array = ["one","two","three","four","five","six","seven "];
Sub_Array = ["three"]; // initially it holds one value
for(each value of Sub_Array)
{
[Code]....
I am trying but I don't get unique values
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip import flash.events.Event public class maintest extends MovieClip{ private var animalsArray:Array = new Array("Cat" ,"Dog" ,"Elephant","Gorilla","Hippo" ,"Lion" ,"Mouse1" ,"Ostrich"); public function main():void{ stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animals); } private function animals(evt:Event):void{ this.addChild(animalsArray); } } }
is there a problem with my array?
I have a mixed Array, containing instances of a custom Image class, and of the FLVPlayback class.. I want to be able to loop through the Array, and check whether each element is a video or an image?
View 2 RepliesI'm coding a really simple 2D platforming game in Flash using AS3. I'd like to define two different types of terrain surfaces that the player can walk on based on classic platforming elements. Type1: the player can walk on, and if the player jumps, they will hit their head on it and bounce back to the ground. Type2: the player can also walk on, but if the player jumps and hits their head, they will simply pass through the surface and not bounce back to the ground.
I am using hitTestPoint to resolve collisions for this. My question is: What would be the best method to test for what TYPE of ground I am colliding with? Each ground type has it's own Class associated with it in my Flash IDE and all the different terrain surface types are in the same movie clip on the stage.
Currently I'm testing to see if it hit one type of ground surface, then i'm testing if it hit the other, and then based on those results, I process what I want to happen. This seems to work okay right now, but I'm imagining that I may want to create more than 2 types of ground to collide with. For example, moving platforms. It seems like the code will start to get complex
Eg.
if(_groundType1.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
if(_groundType2.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
[Code].....
Is there any difference between those three declarations?
var x;
var y:Object;
var z:*;
Is there anything in AS that's not an Object?
I have a variable named "type". And I want to instance an object with the name of the value of type. Here is an example: var myObjectName = "ball"; var object = new ball(); //Except I want to use the value of myObjectName. I believe this used to be easy with AS2 when using _global, but I'm not sure how to do it in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI am curious if this is an okay implementation of the Array.filter() method.

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?
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 use the following code to convert an object read in from a ByteArray to an Array and store it:
var data:Object = ba.readObject();
var invObjects:Array = data as Array;
In debugging, I find that 'data' is indeed populated with the correct data and takes up memory and is in an Array friendly format. However, invObjects is NULL. How does merely saying 'data as Array' make the holding variable suddenly null?
I'm trying to set the values of a blur filter attached to a movie clip via an array. I've managed to do this with a color matrix filter but whenever I try to do the same with a Blur filter I get a type mismatch on the var myBlur = new BlurFilter(myMatrix2); line :
[Code].....
Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.
I want to do something like this in Actionscript 3:
if(variable is Object) ...;
else ...;
Where variable could be a String(), Number(), Array(), Object()...Currently the above check returns true for all of these types, which makes sense. I only want it to return true for objects made with new Object(), however.
