ActionScript 3.0 :: Include Array Data Inside SWF?
Aug 28, 2009
At the beginning of my Flash game, I do some fairly heavy-duty calculations to figure out path-finding and visibility and that sort of thing. The result of the calculations are a few large Arrays and a Tree datastructure. It takes about 10 seconds on my computer. Is there a way I can do this calculation once and for all, and then just package up the final datastructures right in the the SWF, so that no one ever has to do the calculations again?

I have some global Arrays defined and loaded with data at the _root level. Data is OK cause I checked it with the List Variables option. I cannot address any of my arrays from within my MC hierarchy (not from MC2, MC1 or Component MC), BUT I can address variables defined at the root level correctly?
MC Hierarchy: ComponentMC-->MC1-->MC2-->Various MCs
I placed trace(_root.MyArray[0]); at MC2 level, then at MC1 level and finally at ComponentMC level but the sentence still reads "undefined". Is there a way to actually get my Arrays data from _root ?

i'm a relative newbie to actionscript and flash in general, but do have some basic knowledge. and i'm having a problem with creating a flash projector. i've created a projector that plays and loops a video for use on multiple kiosks. easy enough. the problem i'm having, though, is that i would like to embed the video in the projector so that there's only one file to transfer to all the kiosks. as i have it right now i would need to transfer both the projector.app file AND my .f4v... but i'd like include the .f4v in the projector.

I have successfully added the ability to add multiple events to my XML Calendar. However, the array lists without a break after each item. How do you insert a break after each item within action script?
var objXML = itemsNode_xml.childNodes;
for (i in objXML) _root[mc].label += objXML[i];

I have created many games using a set of mutidimensional arrays. It is now time for me to make them external arrays to simplify some things. I did so, at first, using the #include. However, this loads the arrays at compile time.My goal is to house the arrays in an external file that is called when the game is loaded, NOT when it is compiled. In this way, the same game could be used with multiple different arrays without me constantly having to recompile it each time. It could just look for a file called "yourArray.as" or something and use that when it is run.
I am not very familiar with XML or javascript, so was trying to figure out how to do this with the arrays that I have already created without having to decode them and put them into another language first, only to have to change them back to actionscript later.

I am currently working to a Role-Playing Game in Adobe Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. I must include doors inside rooms, but when I do that, my player dissapears. I use this code:
Code:

for (var j = 0; j<mapWidth; ++j) {
this.attachMovie("tile","t_"+i+"_"+j,++d);[code].....

I have a simple array of movie clips ("box1" "box6") that I have created on the stage. I then have a simple onRollOver function that is iterated for each of these movie clips, as shown below. As it is now it's working fine, but I can forsee two potential problems for when I use larger arrays and apply this technique to my real working files.
If I were to have many more movie clips, the first line of code would be much longer as it lists each movie clip instance name. Is there a way to use, for example, a for loop to include all these movie clips in the array without having to type out all their names? As you can see here, I have used a simple numerically-incremented naming process. I think the problem may be that I am using movie clips with instance names assigned on the stage and not created through ActionScript.The function as I have created it makes all the movie clips gotoAndStop(1) and then the one that has been rolled over goes to frame 2. Is there a way of making all the movie clips in the array except the one that has been rolled over gotoAndStop(1), ie. is it possible to exclude the rolled-over movie clip from the first part of the function? Here it works just fine as it is, but I'm thinking that maybe when I start using more complex functions with tweens etc it may cause problems. Or not?

I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].

I have bought Learning AS 3.0 (O'Reilly) but I have been having difficulty getting one of the tutorials to run. The tutorial shows how to record data from a microphone to a byte array, playback the saved data and save as a WAV file. For some reason, I can't get this working. When the swf runs, the Flash Settings screen doesn't pop up to request permission to access the microphone but I can still trace properties such as gain.
I've uploaded a zip containing all the classes and an FLA - just use RecordMicrophone_Example.as file as the document class. Here is the problematic area of the code:

I have No problems inserting data from flash to PHP into MySQL,it's sendind them back properlly.All I'd like to see happen is for one row of data to be inserted into a dynamic text field. here's what i've got if i access this php file, it prints out a vertical list from
a single MySQL row,I was happy.
$query = "select row from table";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))[code]...
and Instead of the vertical list (which i would love to see)i get an unparsed data array.

I have an array collection of strings and integers (which I have displayed in a data grid) and I am wondering if it is possible to export the array collection into an html table? or even a text file for the user to download
I found some pages that had an export to .xls files but I want to stray away from that for now.

I have an array with 10 buttons with random names, so not btn1, btn2, etc but for the sake of examples, I'll use btn1, btn2 etc
each of these buttons have dynamic text like so btn1.textField.text = "something random" etc also in each of this text there is a delimitator "%#%" I can easily use
Code:
var btn1ContentArray:Array = btn1.textField.text.split("%#%");
btn1.property1 = btn1ContentArray[0];
btn1.property2 = btn1ContentArray[1];
[code]....
I was wondering if there is a more ellegant way, using arrays or something similar to make the coding cleaner and easily scalable I can also create
Code:
var arrayBtn:Array = [btn1, btn2,..., btn10];
and do a for loop, but I don't know how to use array inside array

What I'd like to know if it's possible to put a delay inside the processing of an array (in my case it's some scores which appear temporarily when an enemy is destroyed).The purpose of this question is: I'd like to make a delay so the scores appear half a second after the explosion.[code]

I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.

So I have this waky idea that I would put an array list (or list) or items inside a vector.
For example an array of fruit containing bananas, apples and oranges inside a vector of type fruit.
I could get the array list and thenwalk through it to get what I want.

I'm learning a lot by reading the questions and answers that are asked in the Forum. Now it is my turn to ask a question that is probably a rookie, but I have spend 3 days breaking my head to try to find a solution and have not found it yet.
I am trying that the program responds to each click of the player in a box that is white and turns red, with a random click in another box. Something similar to Tic Tac Toe.
My problem is that I can't make te program to access the boxes in the array by programming. When I try the program to access the box with p.ex.: "this.newBox.boxplus30.gotoAndStop (2);" I always get the error "object null or undefined". I have tried everything you can imagine to formulate that line of code, but without success.[code]...
