I have a multidimensional array based data and i'm pretty confused in bringing it to simple linear array. I know it requires some for in loop to set property and its value and some nested looping but i lost in the half way.
I have following data
records:Array = [0]
name = gender;
records:Array

I've got 6 arrays and need to create a single randomised array pulling the elements out of the original 6 arrays. The extra kicker is that I can't have two elements from a single source array next to each other. I've cobbled this code together:
ActionScript Code:
var a:Array = [["1_1", "1_2", "1_3", "1_4", "1_5", "1_6"],
["2_1", "2_2", "2_3", "2_4", "2_5", "2_6"],
["3_1", "3_2", "3_3", "3_4", "3_5", "3_6"],
["4_1", "4_2", "4_3", "4_4", "4_5", "4_6"],
[Code]....
That works maybe 90% of the time but often on the last 2 or 3 loops it ends up repeating hence the escape clause in the while. I have thought that in the fail situation I could scan through the built array to find a different place to add the value in but was wondering if there is a better overall method out there.
I have done words animation in flash and converted as swf. I have more than 300 small swf files. Now I have to merge all these files in to a single swf. Is there any software to merge multiple files to a single file. I don't want to use loadMovie, because I haven't used script in any of these files. Since it is an urgent project, I can't add code in all these files.
View 0 RepliesLets say I have an array which has n dimensions. Now in order to access a slot you typically use: array [1][0]What if the number of dimensions are not known at compile-time, is there an easy access like:
slot = "1,0"
array [slot] // accessing 1,0
Which means I can also easily navigate back and forth

[code]In my real application, I've actually created a named array with element1 as key...so that I can address it directly by it's name.The problem is that - in my real application - the array2 element doesn't share a name in common with element1 (so I could address it by its name..as just told you,using named array) but with element5.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to use a single movieClip and store it an array to use it multiple times. I want to call the same clip 10 times and have it all run the same coding to move to a single point.here is my code:

How can I populate multiple datagrids in flex with a single datasource that is filtered differently for each datagrid. I'm assigning the event.result from my remote object call to three different array collections, each with its own filter function. When I assign and refresh the filter functions, they each affect all array collections. So, the results of the last array collection refresh end up in all three datagrids.
View 3 RepliesI have one swf object in my site.
I have to read data from database and after fetching data of video names,
I need to play those video in single swf object one by one, means after completion of first video second video will start.
What I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.
View 1 RepliesIf I'm streaming live video and chatting in an FMS app, should each component have its own instance of NetConnection or should they share one? Was thinking perhaps the quality of the live video stream would be hurt in a sharing situation but am not sure the architecture works like that.
From a development standpoint, I'd like to make one NetConnection instance in my main application file and connect with it. Then, when successfully connected, I'd like to pass that connection into any custom components that need it.
I've been trying to do a drag and drop game, the logic of the game is that I have 4 blocks grey1_mc, .
grey4_mc, and 8 targets target1_mc,target8_mc.Now, grey1_mc can be dropped only on targetgrey1_mc and targetgrey2_mc, similarly grey2_mc on targetgrey5_mc and targetgrey6_mc grey3_mc on targetgrey1_mc and targetgrey2_mc grey4_mc on targetgrey5_mc and targetgrey6_mc
when grey1_mc or any other greyBlock hits it assigned target it should be locked onto the target and should not be clickable. Also it should play a movieclip inside of it i.e., a Green Tick Mark. if grey1_mc hits any other target it should lock on to that target play a " Red Wrong Movie" and then snap back to its original position.
similar functionality is going to be used for the rest of the grey movieclips.the code that i've written is this...
var originalX:Number;
var originalY:Number;
var greyBox:Array = [grey1_mc, grey2_mc, grey3_mc, grey4_mc];
[code]...
I'm doing a project where I have a movieClip grey1_mc and I have 2 white boxes, which are also movieClips white1_mc and white2_mc. What I want to do is to add a Drag and Drop functionality such that, grey1_mc can lock onto white1_mc if droped on white1_mc, also grey1_mc can can lock onto white2_mc, if dropped on white2_mc. And the usual snapping back to original position if placed elsewhere on the stage.
This is just for one movieClip grey1_mc. I've got 4 such movieClips
[grey1_mc, grey2_mc, grey3_mc, grey4_mc,] and 8 targets
[white1_mc, white2_mc, white3_mc, white4_mc, white5_mc, white6_mc, white7_mc, white8_mc,] ,....
So, grey1_mc can hit white1_mc or white2_mc.
grey2_mc can hit white3_mc or white4_mc.
grey3_mc can hit white1_mc or white2_mc.
grey4_mc can hit white3_mc or white4_mc.
MovieClips white5_mc to movieClip8_mc are only to show a error message in the o/p window.
I am developing a paint board application using flash builder. User can draw some shapes objects(ellipse, circle, rectangle). I want to implement grouping/un grouping feature some like ms-word in my application. I group multiple objects by putting them inside a container(UIComponent). Now i apply resizing to container and it resize well. I am using a free object handler API to apply selection handle over the container. I want to resize and reposition all children with respect to container changed size. Every thing goes well until all children inside container are having rotation = 0. But if there is any child which is having rotation >0 and <0 things goes worse. The child resize but not in a proper manner. I stretch the parent container width and it increase the height of rotated child. Is there any way using Matrix class or something else to transform all children in same direction and same ratio respective to container?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a computer game with a save game function which outputs the contents of an array to a shared object, so that users don't loose their place.However, I wish for this to work with multiple users, and realise that to do this I need a new seperate "folder" within the shared object being created for each new users data array.I know it must be something like....
// Define the shared object using a "sublevel" for each users data array...
_root.savegame.sublevel = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame"; "/");
// somehow dynamically change "sublevel" to the contents of the var "currentUser" as defined when the user logs in when the game loads up.
OR...
//Define the shared object but using a variable title for the actual SO...
_root.savegame = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame_currentUser", "/");
//with that "currentUser" being dynamically substituted for the contents of the var "currentUser" which is defined when the User logs in when the game loads up.

What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

View 2 RepliesI am parsing data from an xml file into an array within my flash file. The nodes within the xml file have common data between them. What I am attempting to do is dynamically push the data in the array without duplicating data already contained in the array. For example I may have an xml file that looks like this:
<videos>
<video>
<title>video1</title>
<thumb>file1.jpg</thumb>
<group>group1</group>
[Code] .....
Say I want to push the "group" data into an array. When it gets to the third "video" node I want the array to see that "group1" already exists so instead of pushing a second reference of it into the array to actually push the secondary data ("title" and "thumb"> into a new array for "group1". I will later use that array to pull up a list of "group1" videos.
I need to remove the value associated with a property in a Flex 3 associative array; is this possible?
For example, suppose I created this array like so:
var myArray:Object = new Object();
myArray[someXML.@attribute] = "foo";
Later, I need to do something like this:
delete myArray[someXML.@attribute];
However, I get this error message at runtime:
Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
How do I perform this operation?
How to make a kind of array that index things based on a object? but not being strict like dictionary.
What I mean:
var a:Object = {a:3};
var b:Object = {a:3};
var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
dict[a] = 'value for a';
// now I want to get the value for the last assignment
var value = dict[b];
// value doesn't exits :s
How to make something like that. To not be to heavy as a lot of data will be flowing there. I have an idea to use the toString() method but I would have to make custom classes.. I would like something fast..

View 2 RepliesI'm going to be building a site for a photographer and would like to be able to do something like the thumbnail navigation in this example: [URL] I'm assuming it's adding the thumbnails to the Display Object via an array based on an external XML file, and displaying them once their corresponding full-size images are loaded ... Perhaps it's building the nav simply by looking to see how many photos there are in a folder on the server (i.e. no discreet XML added for each shot). Not sure if this idea is even possible -- would like to hear from any of you if in fact it is.

I'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 ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame.

View 2 RepliesI want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........

View 3 RepliesI am creating a game where I have two separate arrays of objects that I need hitTested with each other. I found an old tutorial in AS2 that I modified to come up with this code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var w:Number = 0;w < enemyLaserArray.length;w++) {
for (var R:Number = 0;R < barricade1Array.length-1;R++) {
if (enemyLaserArray[w].hitTestObject(barricade1Array[R])) {

This code executes like I believe it should, but along with removing the two objects, and splicing them from their arrays, I get this error
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.on the line hitTestObject line. I have had similar problems in other areas of my project, but this time no matter what I try using trace statements I cannot fathom quite what the problem is.
i would like to place various instances of the same library object on the stage.
the different instances (0,1,2,...) are meant to be containers for their individual content. hence, each instance (0,1,2,...) is one container and each containter embeds different placeholders (textfields- and image-instances) in itself.
