I need to output a series of blocks, when the user clicks, a block changes a color. Am I on a right path? anywhere... (I'm uncertain if I need the array in the main.as). Eventually I need to store the color change in a boolean and trace "Correct" when the blocks are changed in the correct color order. Here is the main.as

I know it's possible (and the answer must be under my nose) but I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this:I have 5 movie clips on the stage, and their instance names are in one array. I then have an array with hexidecimals that I want to assign the colors to the movie clip. So, in essence clipArray[0] would obtain hueArray[0] and so on and so forth. Here is the small code snippet I am working with.
stop();
var clipArray:Array = [one_mc, two_mc, three_mc, four_mc, five_mc];
var hueArray:Array = ["0xd50000","0xff9000","0xfcff00","0x00c91c","0x005 0d5"];

I'm trying to make an array with different color values. My problem is that when I do...
teamColor[i] = currentColor...
All color values in my array turn into the currentColor. (I would upload more code, but that would be a massive mess, considering that I have code everywhere with references from movie clips that are as far as 3 layers deep. However, this would be irrelevant anyways (probably), because I tested this with color values on my main timeline, without any references to or from anything deeply nested). I would like to add that I tried adding strings in there and that the strings remained their original, intended, value, while the color exhibited the same phenomenon.
I changed my code by creating separate variables for each color instead of putting the variables into an array (not what I really wanted to do, but it works). My code looks like this:
if (teamColor != 0) {
this["team"+teamColor+"Color"] = new ColorTransform(0,0,0,1,currentColor.redOffset,currentColor.greenOffset,currentColor.blueOffset,)
teamColor = 0
namebox.addboxes()//function in a movieclip
}
TeamColor is now an int that is changed based on which box a user clicks from a movie clip that has a dynamically generated name, based off of what the variable value in a loop was when it was created.
(E.G: 'tempboxname[ttns].name = i;')
teamColor is then equal to that name when the user clicks it. I have another movieclip with colors in it and the above function is called to check if any teamColor change has occurred, and if it has, act accordingly. (The idea of having teamColor equal to 0 is so that if the user clicks twice, nothing changes. I other conditionals for other colors, all within the same function). That is how I fixed me code. It's not what I wanted, because it's not an array (meaning a seemingly infinite number of teamColors, and thus, teams) but it'll do for me.
I am experiencing some rather quirky behaviour with datagrid itemRenderers. First, I create an ArrayCollection as follows:
[Bindable]
private var myBooleans:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([false,true]);
And afterwards I bind it to a datagrid:
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myBooleans}" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code].....
When running this, the datagrid only shows a row with the correct itemRenderer if the boolean == true. For the row where the boolean == false, it will display an empty row.
I would also like to add that wrapping the boolean in a wrapper object will not cut it for my use case since I will receive an ArrayCollection of unwrapped booleans through an RPC call.
[Code]...
Results into: Implicit coercion of a value of type Boolean to an unrelated type Number. Why do parentheses turn into Booleans into Numbers? Can't I use bitwise operations?
I have a data grid. How can I hide a value of a column if it's "0" ? Do I have to use item renderers? How? Is there an easier way? Second thing, if I have a boolean column whose values are actually the strings "true" and "false" how can I render it as a non editable check box?

I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I want to do as follows: * click a "red" button write in textarea with red color font click "blue" button
* write in textarea with blue color font Isn't this possible in flash 10 using AS3 I tried using setTextFormat but the problem is i have to have text before inserting format on that.
What I am trying to do is to have the button color change to a different color when it is on the page. The color only changes when I roll over it or hit it. Once I am on the page it changes back to the color it is on the up state.

View 2 Repliesi have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?
View 2 RepliesI've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesI'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.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

View 1 RepliesOverview of Issue: A person will enter up to 8 words. Each word is then stored in a dynamically generated text box (responseTextArray[i]) within a dynamically generated movie clip (responseBubbleArray[i]). From here they will drag the bubbles into positions on the stage. Finally all of this information is to be stored in a database. To identify each entry, I put them into arrays. How can I pass all these arrays to a PHP script,so that I can store them in a MySQL database? Or, is there a better way to accomplish what I have described? The plan is to have each user entry and its attributes (response time, response text, x position of bubble, y position of bubble) stored as a row in the database.

Basically what I'm looking to do is hitTest bullets inside an array (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array) with another array containing ships (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array as well).At the moment I have:

.. and a near identical function for the bullets (using variables: i, target).What is the easiest way for me to hitTest the objects within my bullet array with the objects in my ship array. Putting "target" in the PLACEHOLDER slot doesn't work, and from what I've seen some people will shove the one for() inside of the other.

View 5 RepliesI'm having a new problem today- referring to arrays with getDefinitionByName. Anyways, in my map editor, I will have two layers of objects, and the user is responsible for choosing which layer of the map to write to. Because of this, I won't know the exact name of the array to write to until I piece together the string "map0Layer" and selectedLayer (chosen by the user):
Code:
var targetString: String = "map0Layer"+selectedLayer;
var mapTarget = getDefinitionByName(targetString) as Array;
trace(mapTarget);
Through this, I'd like to refer to an array, but every variation of the above code I've tried resulted in
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable map0Layer1 is not defined.
(This is subject to change because it could be "map0Layer2" as well, but you get the idea.)
