ActionScript 3.0 :: Picking And Removing Specific Numbers From An Array?
Mar 15, 2011
I have 16 instances of the same movie clip. The movie clip is made up of 16 frames, each with the picture of a face on it. I want it to work such that when I click my button, each face only appears once, so that all 16 different faces are on the screen. I have been trying to use an array containing the numbers 1-16, and removing them as they are randomly selected. However, with the splice function, I can't pick and choose which number is removed.
How to I pick a random number from an array of 16 numbers, and then remove that specific number from the array so it can't be selected again?
I am using actionscript 3 and I am creating an array of 16 buttons and need to use the function math.random to get it to pick 5 random unique numbers out of the array. As at the moment it is sometimes picking 5 unique numbers and sometimes it has duplicate buttons appearing?
I'm trying to implement the face recognition api from [URL] Everything is working fine other than the fact that the x y position of the face returns a lot of noise, meaning that when I'm sitting still instead of the x y to be constant it jumps up and down. Is there a way to apply a filter to the returned x y values to prevent this from happening?
I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).How do i remove a specific item from within an array?
I have an unordered ever-changing array that looks something like this:
12,23,1,4,11
I just want to basically tell the code to remove a specific item, let's say "23". But since the array is constantly changing length, I can't use splice.I also can't have any gaps, such as "12,,1,4,11". It must return "12,1,4,11".And on a related note, can I then check if this array has the same content of numbers as another array (and do I have to put them both in numeric order before it can perform the check, or doesn't it matter that they're not in the same order, as long as they have the same contents)?
I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.
Is it possible to say to convert a value, 0.16, to 0.1, instead of doing the proper thing of actually rounding it up to 0.2?? Basically i just want to remove the last digit from the number value?
The Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.
if i have numbers of frames 31,64,97,134,175...(between each of that frames i have motion tween, so it isnt 1,2,3,4...) i want that it goes random in the array of numbers but with no repeating (if i passed 64,175,134 i shure dont want to go on 175 again or something similar), and when that array is finished(all the frames are passed) i want from flash to go on exc. frame 205. Could somebody write that in as3 code? :roll:

I have a sell function for my towers that when you select them and click the "Sell button" it removes the turret from the screen and stops it from firing. This all works fine.
But my problem comes when i have placed two of the same tower types on the screen at once. What happens is that it deletes everything and not just one tower like i want.
Ive thought about how i could do this and so far i have been unsuccessful in doing this.
deal with deleting a specific movie clip from the stage.
The code in question with dealing with making the Turrets is Below.
function makeTurret(xValue:int,yValue:int):void{ var turret:Turret = new Turret(); turret.x = xValue+12.5;

I cant get this working at all, I have a movieclip that when it gets to frame 22 I want it removed from stage. As it gets to this frame it increases a variable by 100 and when I have it invisible it keeps increasing the variable infinitely which I dont want. How do I completely remove the movieclip from the stage (it starts placed on the stage from my library).
I'm curious and I know there are many ways, but anyone have a good solution towards adding up the numbers in an array minus it's current node?If I am at myNumbers[3] for example, how do I add everything to the left of my current node such as myNumbers[2], myNumbers[1], myNumbers[0]?var myNumbers:Number = ["123", "45", "111", "54"];
So my array contains marks for a ficticious class and i need to be able to calculate these marks to give me a class average which is this formula; all marks added / number of marksIs there a way to do this within an array?
My code for the program so far is: // Create Arrayvar marks:Array =["100","76","80","54","23"];// Button Functionenter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); function
As the title says I am looking for a loop sequence to search through my array and find values that are even and then calculate them with a button click. I have this code which is completely wrong:
I have an assignment where I need to create an array with 9 numbers between 1 and 34, also none of the numbers need to appear twice.This is what I have so far, so as you can see I'm stuck on the part where I have to check if the number already exists in the array.[code]
[code]I have information coming in from an XML page. One of the childnodes is an ID. The numbers of the IDs go from 29 to 40. I'm trying to have 6 numbers randomly grabbed from the list, so I made a function to find a random number between a given "Low" and "High" numbers, then another to continuously add 1 if it's already one of the other numbers(I'm pretty sure the method of that part, I could have taken a short cut.)Where it says to trace the two numbers near the top of the find5RandomNumbers function, they trace 29 and 40. But near the bottom where it's told to trace all 6 items, they come back as "NaN."[code]
I'm trying to create an array of random unique numbers from 0 to 39 so that I can list these numbers in a countdown and without repetition, ie: 25, 29, 11, 03, 17 etc. These are 40 different numbers, equal or greater than 0 and equal or less than 39.
How do I add array values that are numbers when loaded dynamically via sql?Example script doesn't calculate. Instead it just adds as though the elements of ycor array are string based. So ycor[0] = 2 and ycor[1] = 3 added equals 23 not 5. Of course these elements are being dynamically set via mysql db that generates a xml table. I've left out file locations and passwords for obvious reasons. Why are the elements being treated as strings?
Code: var theXML:XML = new XML(); theXML.ignoreWhite = true;[code].....
It's a simple self-checkout grocery thing and I want to list the items the user is "buying" after typing in the appropriate code, but I can't get it to stay at nine lines only in the dynamic text field. I was told to use array.shift() to get rid of the first value in the two arrays so that I have an easy way by keeping the arrays at nine values, but it doesn't seem to work right.. It'll get rid of the first value, but only once and it'll add a blank value and then continue happily adding to the length of the array. Google has failed me so far so I suspect it's something else in my code.[code]
I have an array containing single alphabet in every index and some of them in the array are duplicates. I'm trying to pick an alphabet and if there is an alphabet in that array, I want it remove from the array.
so lets say if i have 3 "a" in the array, I want all 3 to be remove. But my function only remove one alphabet. How do i make it remove all 3?
Also another question is, if i reach the end of the array how to i remove it? if i use splice it doesnt seem that it will remove the last item in the array.
my code is very simple
for (var i:int = 0; i<alphabetArrayLength; i++) { if (singleAlphabet_arr[i] == alphabetPicked) { answer = singleAlphabet_arr.splice(i,1); } }
