ActionScript 3.0 :: Searching Through Array Of Complex Data Object On Specified Properties?

Sep 27, 2011

Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++) around, can do this:I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:

class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;
var public address;
var public telnumber;
}

And use a kind of data structure class(say, List) to store a few Company-type objects. And then, I define my own comparing and searching function on that List class(namely, override the default one); within my functions I could specify on which attribute(name, or address, or telephone number) to perform searching, and how it would be performed.

Flash :: Use Of The Array.filter() Method For Searching And Retrieving An Object Instance From An Array?

Jul 13, 2010

I am curious if this is an okay implementation of the Array.filter() method.

[Code]...

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Object Properties From Object Array?

Nov 11, 2007

I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:

Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

[code]....

the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Data To Object Properties Dynamically

Feb 19, 2009

When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Strict Data Type Custom Object Properties?

Feb 8, 2010

I need to create a custom Object that basically stores some custom parameters (properties?), which I have successfully done, and the code below works fine.

PHP Code:
myObject = new Object();
myObject.nameLabel = "New Releases";
myObject.artOrientation = "portrait";
myObject.artAmount = 5;

I find the new compiler and debugger capabilities very useful, since I'm not the most detail-oriented, so I (usually) like that Flash forces me to strict-type my variables and such. Anyway, I was wondering if it's a "best practice" to strict data type a custom objects' properties, and if so, how to do it in the logic above? I kept getting syntax errors when I just tried it initially.

I know if I created a custom Class .AS file, I would be forced to data type the properties... but I'd rather just do it "in-line" in my main .FLA file. Also, I know I can just pass typed VARIABLES to the properties... but I'd rather have the properties strict-typed themselves... so if I try to pass a variable as the wrong type, then I would still get an error.

Data Integration :: Complex Data Types From PHP To Flash?

Apr 7, 2006

Does anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.

I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.

I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.

Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?

Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Multidimensional Array And String Searching

Jul 20, 2009

I have one global array, and I am pushing other arrays (which contain strings) in it.
[GOLD, SILVER, BRONCE]
[BLUE, RED, GREY, ORANGE, PURPLE]
[JUICE, BEER, WATER, MILK, COFFEE]
[MERC, BMW, SUBARU, MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA]

Lets say I have these 4 arrays, and I push them into global array in that order.
Example 1:
if I have string "MILK", I need to search the global array and what I want is to pull out last array (with cars) because "MILK" is contained in third array (going from the beggining).
Example 2:
if I choose "ORANGE" I want to pull out last 2 arrays (drinks and cars).
Example 3:
if I choose string from the last array ("MERC") nothing is pulled out. And by pull out I mean just get to it.

ActionScript :: Xml - Setting Object Properties From Other Object Properties?

Jun 25, 2010

i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Finding Values In Array - Searching Small Number Of Elements

Feb 3, 2006

I just read the tutorial "Finding Values in an Array". Sure, the code works, but that's only because we are searching arrays the contain a small number of elements. Suppose we have n elements in an array. To search that array for a particular element we may have to do n comparisons. If the array we are searching contains 10 million elements, we have a problem; can you imagine doing "if (this == that)" 10 million times? There's got to be a better way to search the array. Or perhaps we shouldn't use arrays to store the information.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Trace The Properties Of An Object's Properties?

Jan 30, 2008

I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?

Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work

var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties

[Code].....

This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

Actionscript 3 :: Manage Complex Models - Cache Data From Database?

Oct 24, 2010

My app has windows that are components. In my case, now I have 2 components that have a drop down list that show the current logged user lists. So when I use one component for the first time it make a request to database, save data in model, and load data from model, but when the second component opens, it will just load data from model. Easy for now: ListModel: this contains the current user lists.

Now I have another component but this needs the lists of another user. Where do I save these lists? I can't put in the ListModel as then will mix up with current user. Just a remind: there is not just 2 users. It might have more users, so it should be scalable.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Knowing When A Complex Object Is Completed

Sep 16, 2009

I'm trying to use the BitmapData.draw() method on a sprite which I create through my own external class, but all I was getting was white. Finally figured out that it was taking a half a second or so for the sprite to pop up on the stage, and the draw method was apparently "pixelizing" it before it was drawn.

So my question is, how does one know when a non-loaded object is "ready"? Do I need to add my own event sent from the end of the external constructor code? I don't want to modify the class just to snap a picture of it. Waiting an arbitrary amount of time with a timer seems wasteful too.

Code: Select allvar bc:BarChart = new BarChart(500, 300);
addChild(bc);}
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 300);

Actionscript 3 :: Find A Complex Type In A List (Vector, Array, Dictionary, Whatever Is Faster)?

Aug 29, 2009

I need to know the best method to find an item inside a list (Vector, Array, Dictionary, whatever is faster) of complex type (extensions of Objects and Sprites).I've used "Needle in Haystack" method, but it seems that it isn't fast enough.

E.g.Suppose that I have a collection of Sprites (a pool, in fact).Each sprite will be added to the stage and perform some action. After that, it will die.I don't want to pay the cost to dispose it (garbage collect) and create another (new) one every time so I'll keep the dead sprites in a collection.

Sometimes times I'll call a method that will add a sprite to the stage.This sprite can be a old one, if it is already dead, or a new one, if the pool don't have any free sprite.

One of the scenarios that pushed me to this question was a Particle System.A "head" particle leaving a "trail" of particles every frame and exploding into a flashy multitude of particles... Every frame...Some times this counts up to 50.000 PNGs with motion, rotation, alpha, event dispatching, scale, etc...But, this is JUST ONE scenario...At the moment I'm trying to use a Object Pool with a Linked List...Hopes that it will be faster that running a whole Array/Vector or create new instances every frame an let them dye with Garbage Collection.
