ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Information From Array?
Dec 30, 2010
I've got an array, events, where I store objectdata, such asevents.id (String), events.action (String) and events.time (Number).In a for-loop, I want to go through the array and for each object I want to connect a Timer which runs the function "takeIt" which runs the public function "newEvent". The object in the array, events.id contains information about the object which is running newEvent, and in the array, events.action there are alse information which action to use. The events[i].time contains information about the timer delay which seems to work.How should I wite this to make it work?
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
function takeIt(e:TimerEvent) {
I am making an array and I would like for the array to gather the information from an input box inside the array. How would I get the so called array to add the information from name_txt? Actionscript Code: var word = new Array("Hello" + _root.name_txt,"How are you today?");
am creating a drag and drop activity which utilizes arrays to populate my 'drag' and 'drop' components with their parameters.So far, I am able to get all the drags to work (with a little a few days ago from the boards showthread.php?t=825222) . My problem now is that I need to register which 'drop' is being hit so that I can update the variables for that drop. However, as the drops are in an array, any time I reference that array it uses the information from the third and final drop, even if drop one or two are hit.Here is my code:
PHP Code: var usingDrop:Number; //the vars below are specific to each drop and used to be declared in the drop array - i
I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.
I'm currently writing a feature for an interactive periodic table which dynamically displays the name of the element and other properties when you hover over the element. I have thought of three ways to do this and I am wondering which is the best, memory-wise and speed-wise, for loading this information.
make a class with an array ( new Array("hydrogen", "helium", "lithium",...etc.)), instantiating it, then accessing the info with object.arr[i] make a class with a static array (otherwise, same as no.1), importing it, then accessing the info with class.arr[i] put the information into an external xml file and accessing it from there. The 3rd method seems excessive as you have to go through the hassle of adding event listeners for URLloader every time. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd way? (What is happening in terms of memory when you are importing a class - is the entire array added to memory?)
I have 3 arrays, each containing a random number of elements.
Lets say: array1(), array2(), array3()
I want to display information from 6 array elements on my stage, ideally 2 elements from each array. However, as the arrays may contain more or less than 2 elements, if an array has < 2, I'd like to make up for it if the other arrays have > 2 by showing extra from those arrays instead. As evenly as possible. I'd like to know at the end how many elements of each array to add to the stage (Maximum of 6 altogether).i.e.If we say array1.length() is 3, array2.length() is 1, and array3.length() is 1 - then I'd like it to display 3 from array1, and 1 from the other two arrays.If we say array1.length() is 0, array2.length() is 4, and array3.length() is 5 - then I'd like it to display 3 from each of array2, and array3.So as to get 6 wherever possible, and spread them out evenly wherever possible.
I'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:
[Code]...
I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.
I want to build a program built around my pc specs. Is there a way to access such information as how much ram I have or how much cpu usage is being consumed, etc.?
I purchased a flash template and replaced all of the information with ours. The problem that I'm having is that when customers fill out the contact form on the 'contact' page, it doesn't send their email to us (which is one of the fields).
The site is live at [URL]
I've attached a jpg that shows the movie clip I'm working in.
I have a simple html page witha flash button. Upon clicking on the button, I would like to retrieve certain information from the js in the html (a URL for example) and execute it from the flash button.
I know trace() function can print information,but I must use flex builder environment.If I don't use flex builder,the trace function can't make function.I want to know if there is a statement can replace of trace(),because sometimes I need print information for debug and I don't want to use flex builder too.
Does anyone know of a way to obtain information about the environment that a SWF is served into? Things like the URL of the page that is hosting the SWF?
So say there's the URL [URL] which has the movie flashmovie.swf embeded in it ... is there a way to get the URL from inside flashmovie.swf and cast it into a string datatype?
I've been picking apart the _global object by recursively un-hiding it and the objects it holds properties, but so far have not come up with anything that could prove useful.
Is there a way to dump out all the target info in as3? Basically I would like to know everything that is contained in my target like a var_dump or cfdump for as3. Something that would work like....

In my flash application, I want to have information about the system the flash object is running on.Is there an object which handles this?My application runs in a browser mostly, so I also want to know the browser in which the application is running.Can I also access this directly from within the flash player or do I need to communicate with javascript then?
What I need to obtain is the playhead location of a playing video when the Stop button is pressed. I need this to be either in milliseconds or hours:minutes:seconds. Either format is fine as I can work with either.I need this so that I can add a cue point to the video so that when the user returns to the presentation, it will start playing again at that point.
I'm making a very simple MP3 player in Flash CS4 Professional 10.0.2 that loads a song from an array containing the locations of the songs and plays it. The player also displays the artist and song info name in dynamic text fields as specified in the ID3 section of the MP3 file. It works as desired when I load the MP3 before playing it. This is the relevant portion of the code, highlighted in green to indicate that it functions as I want:
[Code]....
What's odd is that if I comment out the last two lines of the onID3 function, so that the function only performs the trace command that's highlighted in orange, it works! This tells me that it's loading the ID3 information. So why can't it display the information from the currentSong variable?
EDIT: I'm pulling the MP3 files from the same server as the SWF. I would not be pulling them from a remote location!
I am using location.loadMovie("image 1.jpg") to load images into my site, seeing how these images are not within my swf. but externally stored they load when I goto the location in the timeline, not in the beginning of my swf file with the other content (after my preloader runs) is there a way to have a preloader show up ( I want to use load % and movie clip for preloader) and tell you how much is loaded so someone knows there is an image there that is being loaded and not just a blank screen?
I want to add the required information to the 'Summary' tab when looking at the properties of an SWF file.Could somebody tell me how to do add the required informations .
I want to read Meta tag information of a video file like Artist,Album,Year,etc.... I tryed "onMetaData" for a video file.But i didnt get information like rtist,Album,Year,etc... The video file can be mp4,avi,mpg,mov. I dont want them to play in swf... I just want to load the file and show the meta tag information as text. For audio files i can get id3 information after loading the song.But is there any other way to get them with out loading the sound? Each loading will take time to give the result.
I use flex and php to retrieve information from my sql database. What i have been doing is formatting the result from the database query into xml and then putting the result into an arraycollection. It all works fine except one of my database fields contains a lot of text that website users enter and as xml doesn't like tags like <> so I leave it un formatted but I would like to format it. Would I be better using flashvars or text than xml? Or is there another way?
i want to make flash programs that send information to the web server that cannot be revealed by the user. of course the user will be able to see that HTTP request that is being sent, but i want to encrypt the data before transferring it. what's the best method to achieve that ?
I have an edit button at the end of each row, when clicked it brings up an editable form with that rows information in it. I am using event listeners to pass the information back to the main datagrid. The only think i don't understand is, how do you update the datafield values in the datagrid.I've tried a lot of different things, variations myDatagrid.nameField.text = "Person's Name"nameField[1].text = "Person's name"Anybody know how I can target the specific rows of the datagrid to edit the values in them?I have looked a little into data binding, but I can't figure out how to bind the form (in a seperate class) to the datagrid in the main mxml file.
I'm currently working on a Flash application that needs to save files to Drupal. I already saved the file to the Drupal site with the File service, but I can't get to attach the file to the node with the node.save service (Upload module, not CCK file field).[code]...
i would build an app to take the serial number of hard disk of an other hardware serial number (hard disk, cpu MB). Do you know if this is possible with adobe air, silverlight or other similar technology?
