ActionScript 3.0 :: Nav - Adding The Thumbnails To The Display Object Via An Array Based On An External XML File
Jan 30, 2009
I'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.

So a small example of my situation...On my stage I have 5 items labeled item1_mc, item2_mc, item3_mc and so forth...they all have two keyframes on their respective timelines, one labeled "active" and the other "inactive". My code contains 2 arrays, inactiveArray and activeArray and a variable known as energy that regularly goes to and from 0 - 100.
What I am looking to achieve is basically the function of...
if energy >= "insert given items 'active threshold' 20, 40, 60, etc..." then add it to the activeArray, if it is not, remove it and add it to the inactive array.
all objects in activeArray gotoAndStop("active");
all objects in inactiveArray gotoAndStop("inactive");
I have tried many different ways of achieving this effect but I always end up with duplicates and extras or something doesn't move when it's supposed to, where it's supposed to, it just ends up into a giant cluttered mess and I start from scratch.

I used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?

I have some code that initializes an array (arrQAnswer) that stores what button the user clicked on (0,1,2, or 3). That option it put into arrQAnswer, then compared against arrCorrectAnswer to see if the user got the question right. The problem is that for each time the user clicks on a button, they are taken to a new screen to display feedback based on the answer of the question. If the user gets the question wrong they are returned to the original screen and try again. This is where arrQAnswer is screwing up (or more likely, where I am screwing up). On the first question where the user chooses an answer, then returns to that screen, arrQAnswer re-intializes. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Note that it only happens on the first question, I think that is because the first question is on the same frame as the code (below):

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..

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.

name = gender;

This program has a green ball (var ballplayer) that theplayer moves around in 3D space using the numpad keys (8, 2, 6, 4)to move the green ball (up, down, right, left). And it also usesthe up and down arrown keys to move the ball along the z-axis.There are also five red balls moving around the screen. As the redballs collide they turn blue. The red/blue balls are z-sorted, sothat the balls closer to the viewer appear in front. The balls allmove around in an invisible cube that they bounce off. Problem: How do I get the player's green ball to be z-sortedwith the other balls? I think I either need to add the green ballto the array called balls before it is sorted. Or create an arrayfor the green ball and then add the two arrays together (if that'spossible) before z-sorting. I tried to add the green ball directlyto the balls array but it didn't seem to work. I'm new to AS3 andprogramming, so I may have made a simple mistake.

I recieve the following error..Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Stinger@d8d43a1 to Array.[code]where laser.wielder is an Array that gets declared inside of the StingerLaser Class. As of right now, there is only one type of object I am trying to put into the the array. And that is stingerWhen trying to add an object that is type Stinger to an Array.[code]If no one can figure this issue out, atleast I would like to know how loose is an Array in actionscript? Can it take all types of classes or just classes that are of the same parent class or what?.

I'm having trouble with my code. I keep getting this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I believe it has something to do with the array, considering it works when I remove the array stuff. What I'm trying to do is to be able to move objects through an array with my gravitate() function in the Grav Class.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onLoop, false, 0, true);
for(var i:uint=0; i < numParticles; i++){
var p:Grav = new Grav(5, 0xff0000, Math.random()*250, Math.random()*250);
addChild(p);
particles.push(p);
} function onLoop(evt:Event):void {
//for(var i:uint=0; i < numParticles; i++){
//particles[i].gravitate(1,1);
//}}

my document class creates custom class variables to load both a slide show and menu .swf instance to the stage.a few questions:my document class extends Sprite, so any addChild() will put that object on the display list?if so, how do I allow script inside the menu instance to refer to other display objects?The following code is within my document class, inside my doc class function:
Code:
/*load menu*/
var menuLoader:preLoad = new preLoad("menu_as3.swf",800,0,1,1,0,1);

I'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?

My thinking was that this frees up some memory similar to disposing a bitmapdata. Does this even do anything? Or, will arrays be cleared and the memory usage restored when the object is removeChilded?

I've stumbled across a very interesting tutorialBut, I've noticed a little detail. When you click on the big image of the finished example on the first page of tutorial, it acts like a link. When I have downloaded finished .fla source, links are nicely written in the images.xml file, but the links in the .fla file don't work.

I've done some Action Script 2.0 before this, but never really moved outside of flash. meaning i can tween, animate, include buttons, so all the basics for a static website i can do, but now i'm currently doing some workplacement and am working on an xml based gallery.
I've gotten as far as being able to load a jpeg from a xml file into the swf. i also programmed a thumbnail panel. what it does so far is create as many thumbnails as there are nodes in the xml file. you can then scroll through them via mousemovement. what i can't figure out is how to load pictures into the thumbnails, seeing it is always the same movieclip but a different picture should be loaded in each one.
so here's some info on the code:
i create the thumbnails using the addChild Method. i add a movieclip called "thumbnail" from the library. like so:
for (var i:int = 1; i <= picamount; i++) {
createThumb();
function createThumb() {

So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;
