ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Item Placement In An Array?
Jan 15, 2012
I need to "arrange" an array item by using the up/down arrow keys. Each item in the array is represented by a movieclip on the screen, and the idea is to select one, and then move it up and down through the array. For example say you have 7 items in your inventory and want to move item nr 6 ( array[6] ) to the top of the visual representation list ( array[0] ). So it would move through the array and when you hit the top it jumps back down to 7 again. one jump for each keystroke.

I have a mc called the_ring which contains a little circle that spins around a figure. how can i find the location of this circle?
i could easily find the location of the movieclip by the_ring.x , but thats not what i was after, im after the location of the object inside of it.

This thumbnail loader has been the bane of my existence for the past several days. I finally have the images loading in correctly from the XML through an Array.
However, I can NOT for the life of me get them to load with equal distance from one another that corresponds with the varying image widths. I have set up a contentLoaderInfo in order to trace the widths of the images, but can't figure out how to associate them with their respective images in the array to appropriately define the x location.
ActionScript Code:
//XML Load in XML
var XMLURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLURLLoader.load(new URLRequest ("ggcelebrity.xml"));

I have an array with 8 items, and I want them to be randomly placed on the stage with each load, or when a "shuffle" button is pressed. Just a simple puzzle where the pieces are to be scrambled and then dragged and dropped by the user.Current code that isn't working:

I am using the following to move one item to a certain place once the first item has reached there:
[AS]
if (mc_skip._y - 1 < 20 && mc_skip._y + 1 > 20) {
mc_skip._y = 20;
mc_skip_b._y = 20;
//the movieclip is within 1 point of where you want it
} this.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace("Button:" + mc_skip_b._y);
trace("Text:" + mc_skip._y);
}
[/AS]
Why does the mc_skip_b not move to 20 _y? I am tracing it, and it's definitely going to 20 _y so I don't get it?

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?

I need to move a movieclip dynamically over a path. The movieclip has a front which should remain pointing to front when moving along the path. So I need an angle at which the movieclip should be rotated regularly. This is something similar to the motion guide we have in Flash.

I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}

I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....
I know that I need some sort of removeChild() in there, but I cannot get it to actually work.

When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....

I have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?

var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

I have two two-dimensional arrays, and this line of code:
openListParents[compWith] = openList[olID];
Does it work? Yes. However, openListParents[compWith] becomes openList[olID], but I want openListParents[compWith] to be the value of openList[olID]. This is what I get when I press CTRL+ALT+V:
[Code].....
This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);

How do you specify a certain item to be removed from an array?I know how to remove an item of a certain position, for example:
array.splice(1,0)
BUT, if I have an array with the following items:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
and I want to remove the item "4" without referring to its position, is there a way to do this?

What I have: 2 buttons on stage (NEW_YORK and CHICAGO) which are given an onRelease function trough a forLoop (so far so good).
What I need: For those to buttons to trace their own array item when i press them.
The problem: If I summon the array item static (array[1]) it works, but when i try to make it dynamic (array[i]) it comes back as undefined.
I enclosed the .fla.[code]...

So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.
Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip
{
var deck:Array =
[Code]....
When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.

I'm generating an array from a string, then place the item to a text field.It works OK if there is no commas, if an item has commas, then the item is considered as multiple items. How can I have ?For example if the string is like the one below (with | as the delimiter):
C1_3_ans = "item 1|item 2|item 3, with some commas, here"
var errorSelected:Array = C1_3_ans.split("|");
errorSelected would be come [item 1,item 2,item 3, with some commas, here] instead of 3 items, it becomes 5 items.How can I keep the 3rd part of the text as one item?

I have an inputbox and a submit button and prev and next button in my screen. Whenever users enter a text in the input box and clicks on the button, the text value is stored in an array. Then users click on the next button and again enters new value in the inputbox and click the submit button. The new value is added in the array.Now suppose if users want to make correction to the values that they have entered for previously entered values, they can click on the previous button and make correction and click on the submit button. For this I think, we have to remove an array value and add a new value to it. I am confused on how to remove and add a new value to that particular place.
