Feb 9, 2010I have a program which fills an array with data loaded from an external XML file. I've used the debugger to step through the program, and what I am seeing is this: Inside the function where the array is filled, the data is inside the array and everything is fine. However, when I go to another function, the array retains its structure but all the values are empty. I have no idea why it's doing this... though maybe it's some sort of scope issue? I've defined the array in the class, and everything is fine until I try to reference data outside of the function which it was put in. That being said, in a separate function, more data is added to the array and that data is still retained throughout the class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Arrays In And Out Of Functions?
Nov 21, 2005I'm creating a soundboard, and and I've been using Flash for about 2 weeks and Actionscript for about a week, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance. I've used google to look for specific things to no avail so here I am.Okay, so, I have a soundboard that, when pressing a button, it will hide or show certain buttons on the page, to give the feeling of multiple pages. All my visibility stuff works like a champ.
Right now, in the working version of my soundboard, I'm not using functions to instantiate my linkable objects, create the array, or populate the array to hold the linkable objects. I would like to use functions to make my code less obtuse. I looked around for a while trying to figure out how to pass an array of objects into a function but i haven't had much success. I'm not quite sure if it's even possible to do. These are the errors I get:
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type Class.
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1120: Access of undefined property GordonSoundArray.
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
The first code is what works, the next code is the stuff that doesn't work.This is the working version
Code:
//////////// CODE FOR PLAYING SOUNDS
//// This is creating an instance of the Linkable object
var playArraySound001:Link_10_minutes = new Link_10_minutes();
var playArraySound002:Link_3_eggs = new Link_3_eggs();

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Put Strings / Functions Into Arrays
Dec 6, 2010When I experimented with it, I tried to push one string and one function named "moveRight" into the array,
Code:
_behaviours.push("1", moveRight);
trace("_behaviours: " +_behaviours);
But when I trace the content of the array, I get
Code:
_behaviours: 1,function Function() {}
Why is my function moveRight, being renamed to "Function", and how do I call the different functions if I have several of them in one array? The purpose of all this is to make a simple AI system for my game enemies. After the enemies are added to stage, a special function would calculate a random number based on the number of entries in the array and then make the enemy perform the chosen function.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variable Data From An External XML File And Dynamically Displays The Item Names In A Menu - Arrays - Functions
May 18, 2005I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]
Arrays :: Flash - Pushing Or Adding Arrays As Values Into A Multi-dimensional Array?
Jan 21, 2011I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
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.
Flash - Add Functions To Playerglobal.swc Or Allow Compiler To Pass Own Functions
Oct 25, 2011Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
ActionScript 1/2 :: Holding Down A Key: Execute ONCE?
Mar 28, 2011scripting for holding a button down and having the action take place once.So thing is, I have code for pressing a button (which is the up arrow button)This was suppose to show the animation for someone shooting constantly until released:
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){ fox.gotoAndPlay(16); deploy.gotoAndPlay(2); trace("Pressed."); }
Unfortunetly the results are:Holding down the up key places out "Pressed." constantly instead of once.fox.gotoAndPlay(16) stays on 16 rather progressing the animation (to which should come back to 16 at a repeated process)deploy.gotoAndPlay(2) plays a sound but before: the sound played constanlty rather once) recently: sound never playsI also need code that prevents the player from moving when holding down the up arrow key.So in total, I want the player to be able to hold the up key, and everything executed is played once until pressed agan after release.I heard about adding listeners:
var myListener:Object = new Object(); myListener.onKeyDown = function() { KEY = Key.getCode(); if (!this[KEY]) { trace("You pressed "+KEY); } this[KEY] = true; }; myListener.onKeyUp = function() { KEY = Key.getCode(); trace("You released a key."+KEY); this[KEY] = false; }; Key.addListener(myListener);
but I can't understand this technobabble and everytime I try to work it, it only puts error outputs.

ActionScript 3.0 :: 2D Array For Holding MC's?
May 22, 2010I have a mc which is a square. I want to make a grid with it. Everybody knows how a grid looks like. Heres the main issue: I want to have a full control over each single element of the grid. I want to put them all in a 2d array, so I can access them by giving a row and a column number, e.g, so as to remove a specific mc, Id write: container.removeChild[_myArray[i][j], where i and j stand for the row and the column.This is how my current method for creating the grid look like:
ActionScript Code:
private function drawGrid():void
{
var startX:uint = 0;
[code]...
It does draw a grid, but I dont have a power over it. And even if I do, I cant see any way of accessing a specific box.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Input During A Holding Loop?
Apr 9, 2009I have separated the background info on the "WHY", from the "WHAT" so that people can give me feedback on my question directly, but if they require more information, they can read my background info to understand the purpose of what I am doing.
======================================================
Background Info (the WHY):
======================================================
I am working with an actionscript structure as follows:On a specific frame exists a controlling function or "node". It contains a user defined array of "branches" or sub functions. These sub functions(branches) are of a user-defined class which can hold other code. Other programmers will be using this structure. When they work with it, they will be dynamiclly adding new "Branches" which the node will then run in whatever way they specify. I am coding the node, and creating the different execution options that the other programmers will be able to use.
One of these types of executions is for the node to LOOP through the branches (however many there may be) waiting for either a key press or a mouse click. On either input it should exit the node and continue on to the rest of the frame, and then the rest of the program.
My original structure is based on user defined Event Listeners and Dispatchers. Upon Entering the node I begin by defining:
addEventListener("BranchComplete",nextBranch); addEventListener("RepeatDone",runComplete);
runComplete executes when the node has finished, nextBranch is fired after each branch has successfully finished.
I originally fired off:
dispatchEvent(new Event("BranchComplete"));
as the last line of the Branch executing function. The problem with this was, the function "nextBranch" does not return until all that it has called/triggered has finished. "nextBranch" ends up being called recursively by the EventListener. This causes a stack overflow.
I then changed the code, by moving the 'dispatchEvent' command into the same function that added the EventListeners. This ensures the function "nextBranch" has finished and returned before the EventListener triggers it again. This prevents the recursion and the stack overflow, but creates a new problem: The 'DispatchEvent' only occurs once, as after the second time through the branch, it returns and continues on the line after the dispatch.
In order to get around this, i placed the dispatchEvent inside a do...While loop, that tracks a variable that is only set to false when the user gives Mouse or Keyboard input. Voila, problem solved, code loops forever while calling "nextBranch" and triggering "BranchComplete" events as they complete. The only problem is, user input doesnt seem to be caught, due to the infinitely repeating while loop.
To test that it does in fact work correctly, i set the While Condition to automatically turn false after 1000 iterations. This works perfectly, and exits after 1000 branches have executed, all triggered by the Dispatched events. So, I want it to loop through my Branches until Key press or Mouse click. It appears that during a while loop, Keyboard and Mouse Listeners will not trigger. Is this true, and what is the best solution for holding in a loop while waiting for an event listener to trigger?
Php :: What Design Should Be Used For Holding File Information
Jul 31, 2011I want to create flex/actionscript directory view for my files with php/mysql. I have some ideas that I want to share:
1)I am thinking of creating table (in mysql) "files" and another table "folders", when user loges in i will require all data from "files" and "folders" where Username = 'something'. But the problem is, I will create a lot of entries inside of tables. For example if I will have 100 users, and each user could create 100 entries (files or folders) it means that i will get 10000 entries inside table.
2)My second idea, and I think more safe way of doing it is creating table "users" where will be set id, username, password, ... , files, folders. In files (text format entry) will be listed information about files, and they will be dividend by "*" symbol like this:
id*file name*size(in kbytes)*path*status
example:
15*test.exe*150*/root/*private
16*test2.exe*200*/root/folder1/*public
[Code]....
Now here is only 3 file info but there can be more than 1000.

ActionScript 2.0 :: On(release) Firing When Holding A Key?
Apr 26, 2006I'm working on a ACAD flash system, and one of the functions is to draw lines. Now I'd like to be able to draw vertical/horizontal lines by holding a key down (i.e. Shift). But I'm finding that the system is detecting me releasing the mouse (I'm not) while I hold another key.
Attached is a .fla file where you can click and drag a box.
Don't worry about posting "oh you should use startDrag()" and whatnot. The architecture of the actual application makes such things not feasible. This is just a test .fla.
The code is here:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
this.onMouseMove = function() {
trace('Mouse is moving');
[Code]....
So yeah, as you run it and drag the object around, you see a lot of "Mouse is moving", but if you press and hold any key, you'll also notice the "Mouse released" as well.
