I need to store an array of objects that will serve as a back-up of some master data. I then will need to copy that array and manipulate the object data within. The problem is: when i change any of the object data in the new array, it is changing the orginal object data in the "back-up" array - the array that should not be changed in anyway.[code]...
View 9 RepliesI have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]
[Bindable]
private var _list:ArrayCollection;

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

View 2 RepliesI have a mp4 file that has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.When viewed in VLC it looks natural and in proportion. I simply want to convert the .mp4 file to an .flv file for web distribution maintaining the existing dimensions. I am attempting to do this with Adobe Media Encoder.The problem is that Adobe Media Encoder insists on converting the file to a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 480x360 pixels.Viewing the output in VLC results in a squashed out of proportion image. The output preview in Adobe Media Encoder also looks squashed.When I select the option to specify the output dimensions and manually set the resolution back to 640x360, in then adds to solid black bars on the right and left-hand sides of the video which is undesirable - aswell as making the video squashed. I have messed around with every setting and have had no joy in producing the output I require.I have a command line version of ffmpeg which is able to convert the video successfully (keeping the correct aspect ratio) using the most basic command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.flv . I don't want to resort to using ffmpeg at this point. I just spent $1200 AU to upgrade to CS4 Design Premium and want to use the nice GUI I just paid for :)
View 1 RepliesI have a web page that uses javascript counters to count user "active" time, meaning the time a user spends viewing this page (and not some other page). I do this by starting/stopping them using the [URL].. However, when the user clicks on a plugin inside the same page (flash, java, etc), the window loses focus and window.onblur is fired. Is there a way to tell that the user is still on my page?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to scale9grid a button to preserve its rounded corners when resizing but I have run into trouble.The button is an ordinary Button symbol and it has 4 layered states (Up, Down, Over, Hit).In each layer there are some shapes (the outer button border, two background shapes inside the button for shading and then some extra outer border shapes to create the pressed down effect). The button contains no other elements,not even a textfield (the textfield is on the same level as the button).
The button is inside a movieclip (which also carries the textfield) that is of the same size as the button and is resized as by Adobe design when the button is resized (i.e. I am never manipulating its size).The Button is 35 high and the textfield is 25 high. They have their registration points both centered and placed at the the same coordinate.I use the follow code to resize and scale9grid the button:
popup.btnLoginButton.width = popup.btnLoginText.width + 20;
popup.btnLoginButton.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(10, 5, popup.btnLoginText.width, 15);
The above scale9Grid throws a Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.The same error occurs unless the Rectangle parameters are very small - for example Rectangle(5, 5, 5, 5) even though the textfield is much longer. But when the Rectangle is that small of course no scale9grid scaling is taking place.
i have this: object1.addChild(object2); object1.alpha = 0,5; How can object2 preserve it's initial alpha?
View 5 RepliesI am converting a Flash Web App to a Javascript(HTML and CSS) Web App. I have a cube rotation animation working but I have a problem with the perspective.My Problem: I am not sure which CSS attribute I should use to replicate the Flash versions perspective(please see the 2 images below).

You can see a working example here(Note it only works onThe first image was taken from the flash application and displays the CORRECT perspective(that I am trying to achieve in CSS).The 2nd image is taken from my CSS, Javascript and HTML web app and the cube rotates with the INCORRECT perspective.

I am using Flash CS5 and I have created a large, rarely changing framework that I don't want to be recompiled every time I use it in my projects.I must be doing something wrong because the "auto-complete" functionality doesn't show the names of the parameters of the functions.For example, I have a function:

I have declared an Array as a new Array(); I would like to push objects into that array but have a text field read back the array minus the commas that are pushed by user interaction (from numbered buttons).

I have is a simple game and when the player picks up 10 objects I would like an enemy to spawn and start chasing the player (the player is attatched to the mouse), after another 10 objects another enemy spawns and so on. This keeps going until any one of the enemies chasing "hits" the player, and then I would like all the enemies that are on the screen to travel off screen at the same location, ready to start over again.
I'm using tweener generally in the game so far for movement of things.I understand I'll need to use an array to create more duplicates of my enemy movieclip? And push one every time 10 objects are picked up.What I can't do is the code to hitest any one of the spawned enemies, I think only one perhaps-the last or first created is ever affected. I've seen others with a similar problem but not quite the same so I haven't found a solution. I'm sure its very simple.
Is it possible to put objects that get the same EventListener in an array so instead of saying

This has to be accessed at a later point by the UI in order to build itself. I can't figure out how to create a loop or method or whatever to access this array.
I need several ways of accessing it, so maybe I'm thinking of a method called accessSpecificItem(propertyName:String); <- to set up each UI item traceOutAllItems(arrayName:Array); <- for testing countNumberOfItems(arrayName:Array); <- for the UI to figure out how many items it needs to build
