View 4 RepliesI tried the benchmark on this site: Array vs. Vector vs. Linked list. It tests the performance of iterating over said sequences.Remarkably, iterating over a linked list is approximately 2.5x faster than a Vector.<int>. What is the reason for this counter-intuitive result?
View 1 RepliesI know there isn't a built-in linked list in AS3, but one can easily write his own. However, I found it difficult to come up with a good solution for sorting such list.If you didn't know, linked list is a chain of "cell" objects, where each object has a reference to the next object, typically you can write it like this:
Cell1.next = Cell2;
Cell2.next = Cell3;
CellN.next = null;
(Circular linked list and bidi linked lists are out of the scope of my problem, for now at least).
I looked into other languages that do have linked lists or even standard libraries for them, however, I don't seem to be able to either port any of their solutions, or, some of them, if ported to AS3 would not be workable (since they use recursion) or would otherwise have huge overhead because of lots of method calls etc.
I think, I'm focused on 2 possible algorithms: Merge sort and Insertion sort. These two seem to be most applicable to AS3. However, I may be wrong - so, please fill free to correct me.
I was looking at implementing a linked list to use instead of arrays in some areas. But is it really worth it in AS3? I did some speed tests using 10000 objects (ints). Access is about the same as long as you know what node you're on. Removal is of course faster.But adding to the linked list is actually slower than push() by the same amount that it is faster in removal.So is it really worth it to use them?

Using loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

Sounds simple enough. I have a number of swfs (quiz01.swf, quiz02.swf.....) all linked to one quiz.as file. The quizes in turn are loaded by another swf, Main.swf. I need to get the name of the specific quiz that is loaded, so I can identify an external xml file.
Tried using the "loaderURL" in the as, but it gives the name of the Main.swf. How can I just get the name of the swf that is associated with the quiz.as file?

I want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:

Which is preferred and why: keeping the AS in the Flash file itself, or linking to the .as with the Flash file. I've seen both done. Is it just a matter of preference?
View 4 Repliesit is my first time reading in XML files into my Flash project. I have it working to an extent, as it will read in the file correctly and all that, and I though that I was finally ready to publish it. I copied all of the concerned files over to my server, and it will work perfectly fine when I view the flash from the uploaded link directly (right on my server in the folder I created it in).
My problem arises when I try to publish my project on another website, by just embedding the .swf directly. The project works perfectly until I click the tab that will read in the XML file, at that point it will just hang and not load it in properly. Since it was my first time using XML, I played around with a template a bit to learn it. Anyway, here is what I put (Well, example of what I put)
Code:
flashmo_page1.load_xml("http://mywebsite123456.com/directory/flash/flashmo_197_page_1.xml");
I though that linking directly to my file on my website would make it work, but it still hangs.
I have Flash CS3. I have created a flash file. If I click on the SWF file I have no problems opening it It plays. It looks nice I'm the man.However, now when I try to publish it, the HTML file will not work. It says "windows cannot find this file,you have typed the location correctly".I am double clicking directly on the file and not typing anything, in fact I was considering checking on Ebay to see if I could upgrade my PC to have eyes.The feature has worked previously, which leads me to the conclusion that something else has changed. I have tried using the publish setting, I have also tried using Dreamweaver to embed the file, and have also tried manually inserting the necessary code after seeing some on a website.

I've got a bunch of text in some of my pages, and there are parts of the text that I have linked. On the web, the text just looks normal, which is fine, but when I put the mouse over it, the finger pointer doesn't come up, so no one would guess it's actually a link if they didn't know. It still works if you click on it, but why doesn't the mouse turn into the finger pointer?

View 3 RepliesI got a problem, there I have two movie clips each is linked with action script file. The first movie clip "level screen" has a loop (code is not shown there) in it's code which addChild a lot of same icons (but each has different number) and add them to array levelArray. Then when I click a icon, for example one with nmber 31, it addChild the other movie clip "main screen" and send it a variable "levelNumber" with value 31, so mainScreen could then addChild a level 31. Below is the code for levelScreen checking what icon is being clicked and taking right actions. However first I will write how i imagined this to work step-by-step
1. The timer activates the loop over and over again, so when it comes to end, it starts again.
2. The loop loops through array called levelArray, in which all icons are stored.
3. Inside the loop it first defines a variable checkIcon which is the icon at which the loop is.
4. Now there the things get complicated, I want to add a MouseEvent listener to icon, if it would be triggered the function "onLevelButtonClick" should be executed, and the I want to remove the listener again, so I wont have 1000 listeners on same icon after some time.
5. And the function dispatch event which add main screen and send it a variable levelNumber, which should be number of icon clicked.

I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images. The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it. i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?
I have a tricky problem. I've been working on a flash quiz that uses a xml file to generate questions in a random order. Got that working fine. The Fla parses open the file and loads the nodes into dynamic text boxes.

i've been all afternoon trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and I can't seem to find it, or cannot implement it. Let me lay it out for you: I have an actionscript file linked to a movieclip. (movieclip:skate class linked: generic_skate).I have it set up that way so I can create an array of skates easily (i'm using a for loop to create them), and each skate has its own attributes (name, description, price and the image that is supposed to go on the deck)In the stage, i have three text boxes, one for the price, other for the name, and another one for the description.In the generic_skate class, I'm handling all the mouse events (in this case mouseOver and mouseOut.
What i want to accomplish is: when the user hovers over a skate, the info shows up in the text fields and when he hovers out, the info goes away. My problem: Since I'm doing all the mouse interaction in the class file, my guess is that I have to access the stage to get to the text boxes that are placed there to change its info or somehow create a "middle" man to do all the handling.
