I am running a hittest to see if my avatar hits a food movie clip. When it does I want to remove the child that has been hit. I have put all the food movieclips into an array called prey.
Currently what I have when my avatar hits a food it removes the whole array but I only want the food movie clip which has been hit to be removed.

I was just wondering whether it would be possible to remove an object from an array without referencing its index, for example when the index is unknown, or when you want to splice it from within the class itself, like ina die function for an enemy in an array. I have a project due on Friday morning, GMT.

What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?

I 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?

View 0 RepliesI have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.
I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?
Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using
Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}
Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?

I'm writing an application in Flex / ActionScript and have a number of class member variables of type Array storing data. My question is: what's the "best" way to clear out an Array object? I noticed the ArrayCollection class has a function removeAll() which does this, but the basic Array class does not. Some possibilities I've considered are:
Iterating through the array, calling pop or shift on each element
Setting the array length to 0
Setting the member variable to a "new Array()" or "[]"
I have an array of objects. Each object has a property called name. I want to efficiently remove an object with a particular name from the array. Is this the BEST way?

View 5 RepliesI have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);

I want to remove duplicates from an array. I've a command which works very fine:
arrayID = (arrayID.filter(function(e:*, j:int, a:Array) {return a.indexOf(e) == j;}, this));
This code is for normal arrays which contain only normal values (number or string).. but i've an array in my script, which has objects in that...
var arrayID:Array = [{value:1, name:"asd"},{value:2, name:"asd"},{value:3, name:"asd"},{value:1, name:"qwe"},{value:2, name:"qwe"},{value:3, name:"qwe"},{value:4, name:"asd"}];
What I want is I want to remove duplicates of "name" element! so after removing it should become:
arrayID = [{value:1, name:"asd"}, {value:1, name:"qwe"}];
I believe it is quite easy even I tried to play with the code but I could not do...
So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.

When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.
This is my code
