ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTesting Multiple Array Elements?
Nov 19, 2011
I have a tile-based platformer game under work, and I'm stuck on a problem with hitTesting:
//check all character collisions with levelHolder
for(var i:int = 0; i < levelHolder.numChildren; i++)
{
[Code].....
The problem here is that hitBlock only hitTests one block at a time, and when I test this: If you lean on a wall (press right arrow key) and go downwards you can go through the floor.
I need to make it so that I can test on multiple blocks at a time.
And I did try to replace hitBlock with levelHolder[i], but it gave an error saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 0 not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value. at Main/enterFrame()
I'm guessing that comes from the level array where 0 = blank block / empty space.

im having a really frustrating problem. I have 6 movieclips on the stage, all acting as 'map areas', these are named area1_mc, area2_mc and so on.. I then have a car which i drive around the screen, this instance name is car_mc ... All i want to do is do a HitTest to determine if the car is on one of the 6 areas.. i have the following
[Code]...
The reason it is not working i think is it is expecting the car to be on ALL map areas in order for it to be "on map". For example if the car is in the middle of area1_mc, i get three traces. On map (refferign to it being on area1_mc) then two traces of 'off map', because it obviously isnt on area2_mc or area3_mc.

I'm trying to detect multiple elements in an array. My countTicks:Array contains mostly numbers and below you can see I'm using "logical AND" to try and find them.
The problem is, once I have more than 2 "logical ANDs" (&&) the trace gets called. Which it shouldn't because the array wouldn't yet hold those numbers.
PHP Code:
countTicks = function(){
for (var i = 0; i < tickCount.length; i++){
if (tickCount[i] == 1&&2&&4&&5){

Does one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?

I have a movieclip named Map linked to a class named Map. Inside of the movieclip I have 3 instances of a movieClip hitbox. they are named block0, block1, block2. What I'm trying to do is add them to an array using a for loop. Then in my player class I use another for loop to hitTest against the array. What I'm getting tho is this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@2393159 to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at xxx::Player/loop()[Player.as:54] The code from Player.as that the error refers to is here:

I am trying to make a basic game, and have read all about bitmaps, but they have only confused me, so I am trying to succeed with a more flawed, but basic approach. I couldn't find any comprehensible tutorials on this, so I've tried it on my own, but it doesn't work.Basically I have my character in a movie clip connected to a class, and it is spawned when the movie starts, just like the "wall" class here. It populates the stage with a line of boxes, but my problem is that the hittesting only works on the first one.[code]

does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6

If I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array
{
public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo
{
return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example)
}
}
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.

I am working on a booking/appointment program for a friend. The desired end result is this;A date picker is used to select the day.
A combo box is used to pick a service.Based on the service selected, a MC will load in various options/additions to that service.Another MC displays a schedule showing business hours (8:00 to 5:00) in 15 minute increments - based on both the date picker and the service selected and the option(s) selected (which determines length of time needed), available time slots are unshaded, requested but not yet approved time slots are shaded color 'a' (let's say medium gray), and booked time slots (after being approved) are shaded color 'b' (let's say red).I have the date picker working. I started a combobox which works, and controls the timeline of the options MC - where I am currently hard coding options as radio buttons and/or check boxes. I would much rather have this dynamically generated instead of picking a frame of a MC with hard coded choices. I haven't started on the scheduler yet.

I'm working on a project that has multiple movie clips and I want to have three buttons, you press button1 and it displays mc1, then you press button2 and it displays mc2 and also hides mc1. same with others so if mc1 is on and you press button3 it will turn mc1 off and turn mc3 on. so any combination only turns on its respective mc.
how to do this without an extraneous amount of code. It will eventually have over 20 buttons, so I want to keep code clean if possible.

How do you empty an array. I want the array complete empty, so the array length =0. I have tried this code, but that doesn�t take away all elements in an array, just a few.
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
myArray.pop();
}

My aim is to copy multiple row content from Flex datagrid, to a clipboard enabling users to take pieces of information and pasting them were they are necessary. I bumped into a problem that in Flex (as far as I know) its not possible to paste whole array of information in the clipboard. At the moment, I pass selected datagrid items to a textfield, and then run "System.setClipboard(text_area.text);" I was wonderng if there is a way to pass it to multiple Clipboard directories, without overwriting previous entry, similar as when you can copy multiple items from different location into a clipboard, pile them up and then paste all at once?

I have several text fields (with different numbers written on them) each inside their own movie clip. There is a background underneath all of them. What I want to achieve is to cut the shape of each of the numbers into the background. They should still be able to behave as separate movie clips.

I´m trying to order elements of an array. When the dates come from dynamics text it´s no problem, bad when come from input text the dates are treated like strings and it´s impossible to order correctly, because 15 is considered less than 3. In both cases I can operate correctly whit this dates like numbers.How is possible to order this dates from input text, like numbers?

I have array with 5 boxes. I show this boxes on the stage + showing it random. Now I want add events for this boxes. For example if I click to box1 I must go to 'p4', if I click to any other boxes I must go to 'p3'.
I try to make the same like for buttons, but its not working:
classNames[0].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goCorrect);
function goCorrect(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("p4");
gotoAndStop('p4');

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 one array with many elements inside.
ActionScript Code:
var all_id:Array = new Array ["56","42","35","64"];
I also have one cd id, which is dynamically created.Im trying to create a function, which checks if the cd id matches any of the IDs of the array.
ActionScript Code:
for(i=0; i<all_id.length;i++){
if(all_id[i] == id){
trace("ID MATCH");
[code]....
My problem is that - because I'm looping through the elements, I get several traces.Is there a way to get a result if any element matches?

I'm more interested in understanding why the error is occurring and how to correct it, than rewriting the code in a way that I don't understand it anymore.(Which was my friend's solution)
box_mc is an 80x80 grey square movieclip, of class Box.

var totalRows:Number=5;
