Is there anyway to make it so that globalVariablesArray[0] always contains the 'new' value of theState.stateGrowth, even if it changes? In other words, store the property itself in the array, not just the value of it?

Consider this for a second:
Code:
theState.stateGrowth = 0;
globalVariablesArray.push(theState.stateGrowth);
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // traces 0
theState.stateGrowth--;
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // still traces 0

I have an array of Widgets and each widget has it's own Date property already set to the Date it was created. I'd like to know if there is an easy way to sort the items in my array according to latest first.

In actionscript 2 I was able to make indexed associative arrays. Ex:
var arr:Object = new Object();
arr[0] = {var1:"one", var2:"two"}
arr[1] = {var1:"a", var2:"b"}
In actionscript 3 I cant seem to do this.I get the error below.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
[URL] how to make a date countdown. I now want to take it a bit further. On my site I have three gears that just continuously turn; now what I want to do is that over a period of time, these symbols change. Like say every 2 hours the symbols change to a different colour or something, and at pacific dates more gears will appear.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip which is scaled depending on xml data. However, I have a problem in that this results in a text label within it also being shrunk or stretched. Is there any way to make sure that the text label stays the same size?

I've got XML that looks like this:
<item>
<itemDate>07/10/2009</itemDate>
</item>
I would like to be able to read this in as an E4X object: item.itemDate and have itemDate be an ActionScript Date object instead of a string. Is this possible?
Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).
I want to loop through an array and use the array value to reference a variable.

I'm having to convert an AS2 app to AS3. In the AS2 app I have nested MovieClip in which is a reference to the main timeline (sloppy practice, I know, and now I'm paying for it).
if(_root._currentframe == 3){ ...
which threw an error. I changed it to
if(stage._currentframe == 3){ ...
but it's still throwing an error. The same thing happens when I try to reference a variable defined on the main timeline...
var inPlay:Boolean; //on frame 1 of the main timeline
if(stage.inPlay){ ... // on a frame in a nested clip. This also throws an error.

I am just trying to watch television episodes on my laptop. this error has been popping up for the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. At first, it also said the Flash Player didn't work with 64 bit whatever with IE8. The error said a patch was not yet made and to use IE 32 bit. I did this and am still getting the error. I have uninstalled flash player and reinstallaed it to no avail. This error led to further problems on my laptop resulting in a total crash. Fortunately, I was able to back up all my files before they disappeared. I restored the computer to a time before I started watching television programs on XFinity.com (about a couple months ago) and it seemed corrected for a while and then the error started again. I am given the option to continue or dismiss. either button allows me to continue watching the program, but then repeatedly appears even when I quit XFinity and watch the shows directly from the network websites.

I need a sort function that will read data from an array and sort it by the date - first to last. The date format is (03.11.01) which seems to make it a bit more complex to sort.

Im getting a 'TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference' when I try to gotoAndPlay(15) in my .fla file. It can start playing frame 15 fine if there is no actionscript on it ie just an image but as soon as I add actionscript code it gives me the error. I have been trying for hours to try and solve it so if anyone coud help it would be much appreciated!I have included the.fla file and stripped most of the graphics out so it's under 300kb limit.
