I successfully created a menu using an array. But after researching and using other custom classes, I can't figure out how to animate arrays. The animation is simple; I want each of the buttons fade in one at a time. Any pointers on how can I accomplish this? Note, I'm following Learning Actionscript 3 book, so I created few classes like it says in the book.
Code:
/* Index */
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
How can I animate and form rows together?One 'for loop' is for animation, the other 'for loop' is for making rows. I want to understand how to use arrays and create a row of sprite animations. I understand how to loop through an Array and create a Sprite for each index of the Array, but I'm having trouble putting my animation in rows.I got my number animation to play in a single row. When I add the loop to multiply it across the stage, it just blinks while continuing to animate.'for loop' for animation.[code]
View 1 RepliesI 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.
I'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() );
[code].......
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 RepliesDoes anyone know how to go about animating a movie clip that would go behind another movie clip?
For instance: A stack of photos, that on click, the top photo would animate to the left (or right) and then animate to the back of the stack. My only problem is that i don't understand how to change the order of things, or if this is even possible (as essentially eveything is on layers), the only way i can think of is to have everything on one layer, but then this would interupt the animation of each photo

View 1 RepliesThe problem is that the whole function of adding a movie clip to another movie clip suddenly has been disabled or something. I took a look at previous work of mine (.fla of course) because I suddenly remembered I used a movie clip in a movie clip, and that randomly doesn't work anymore either. Even the time line is edited: just 1 keyframe and nothing more, but increasing the timeline keeps it static regardless.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to saturate a flash animation from left to right with a blurred wipe. I am attempting to do this by creating duplicate movie clips, with one of the movie clips having a filter to completely desaturate the color. I am hiding the saturated movie clip with a mask (basic rectangle) that I am animating to move out of the way revealing the "color". I would like my desired effect to "fade" in by adding a horizontal "x" blur to the mask. I have been successful at wiping in the saturation, but Flash seems to be ignoring the blur on the mask I have created.

My problem is to animate a line, a line starting from a point and progressively increasing in length over time. I cannot achieve this using the draw methods in flash. Because when using these methods to draw the line the results occur in a "Flash".

View 1 RepliesHere's an easy question for any actionscript expert: how would you load 200+ BMP images and play them frame by frame ?I have a short animation consisting of about 200 BMP files. I would like to turn it into an SWF. With all 200 of them in the Library, I'm trying to figure out the best way of loading each frame one by one so we can turn this series of frames into an SWF. Without actionscript, you could add them all to the stage, distribute them to layers, then arduously create keyframes one by one for each layer until you have done all 200.

View 1 RepliesI have a project that requires a rollover. When the object is rolled over, a quote animates (fades in). On roll out, it fades out.
