I'm trying to send an object to javascript that can have an arbitrary number of elements included, including associative arrays. If I create the following object:[code]The numeric indexes of the array will trace out, while the string based indexes will not. Does anyone have any idea why this might not be working?

I was trying something out, and came across a little error. I wrote the following code to create an array and, using each value of that array, create an associative array for the values of xVelocity and yVelocity.[code]But I get an error from that as well. I think I understand basically why this doesn't work, but I'm wondering if, given the spirit of what I'm trying to do, you can think of a working alternative.
View 3 RepliesI have an associative array.
Actionscript Code:
myArray = {car:"Ford",type:"Mustang"},{car:"Chevy",type:"Camaro"});
Now if I wanted to add data to the indexes how would I do it?
For instance I now want to add years 1985,and 2000 to the index 0 and 1.
Took me a while to figure this one out, and no good results via google.[code]...
View 3 RepliesFirst I need to come up with a storage mechanism that looks something like this
x coord: 124 y coord 26 color: orange
x coord: 13 y coord 54 color: orange
x coord: 14 y coord 14 color: orange
x coord: 124 y coord 46 color: orange
x coord: 154 y coord 26 color: black
x coord: 12 y coord 21 color: orange
Secondly I need to know how to run a test to see if there is already an entry in that list that has the mouses current coordinates, and if it doesn't, it places a new entry with the mouses coordinates with the current color variable which will be a variable that flcikers back and forth between black and orange based on a timer that runs separately. I know that forEach will be involved and I know that what I am working with will be called an associative array.
I'm trying to use associative arrays to store my variables but am looking for a solution to change the value of array1[i] to array2[i]. Since it's an associative array, the only way I know how to loop through these kinds of arrays is by the following:
Code:
for(var i in array1) {
trace(array1[i];
}
What I would do when using indexed arrays to change the value of array1[i] to array2[i] would be something like this:
Code:
for(i=0; i<array1.length; i++) {
array1[i] = array2[i];
}
However, I can't see any way you can do this with associative arrays because they do not have a numbered index such that in a loop you could
say array1[i] = array2[i] .
So I'm looking for a way to do this with associative arrays.
I have had a long post somewhere on here and just wanted to start a specific post on just associative arrays. First of all I have an array which I don't know if it's an array or an associative array or an object or both. ie: I read that the below would be an object but works as an array too.
The problem is when I use this array as references to instantiate classes in a runtime shared library.I seem to be able to create the appropriate arrays and objects BUT I definately can't use/acess them properly. I massive confusion between movieclips and objects. I get a forced conversion error when I try to add objects to a movieclip . simply because I want to add the mc elements to the stage.

I'm looking for the javascript way to an associative map/array/hash that's using objects as keys. A replacement to what you can do in ActionScript 3 with the flash.utils.Dictionary. I'm sure java and C# have something like it too.It'd work same as a normal generic Object based assoc[key] but instead of string-based properties you use whole objects as keys (it will match not on toString() like Object does but on unique instance). Very handy to decorate objects you don't own (by using the object as keys and your decorations as value).[code]Main point of issue is I need to match on object only (it's being used by some other process you're not to interfere with but we still need association). So no magic .__hash props or toString() overloading (if possible).
View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if its possible to do what I'm thinking, and if it is possible, does anyone know of a flash object that does what I need? I know a Flash object can provide a javascript API to interact with it, what I dont know is can Flash send an email directly without the need to talk to the webserver to do so? If thats possible would it not be possible to write a flash object that did nothing but provide an API to send emails? Has such a thing been created that is out there for others to use?
I'm looking to create a email form on a web page but the site is static (no server scripting). In my situation server scripting is not possible as there is no server, the site is 100% client side on a CD/DVD/USB Stick.
Is there a test to see if an Object is an associative array?
View 2 RepliesI need a simple way to copy an object I use as an associative array. I use Flash, not Flex, so apparently copy() is not an option - or is it?
View 4 RepliesI 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?
Is there a quicker way besides iterating thru all entries in the associative array Related to - How do I delete a value from an Object-based associative array in Flex 3?
View 2 RepliesIn actionscript 2 I was able to make indexed associative arrays. Ex:
var arr:Object = new Object();
arr[0] = {var1:"one", var2:"two"}
arr[1] = {var1:"a", var2:"b"}
In actionscript 3 I cant seem to do this.I get the error below.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'd like to enable the user to enter several parameters within the flash plugin. These influence the flash movie. The flash file itself works perfectly fine. But now I also want to access and process these parameters on a Javascript function.
I tried the external.Interface and navigatetoURL method but couldnt achieve the required result. (The 'link' between flash and javascript doesn't seem to work...)
So how / which is the best way to transfer parameters from AS3 to Javascript on the server ?
I've got a piece of JavaScript code in an HTML file which detects the height and width of the browser. What I'd like to do is pass the height and width values to Flash. I've followed the Adobe documentation for this using the ExternalInterface class but can't get it to work. For some reason the sendDataToFlash(); function in my JS isn't being called. Here's my code (NB. I'm only trying to pass the height value at the moment as a test):
HTML file with JS:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript">

var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
function getDimensions() {

I am having many websites . In that I have to send some parameters from php to flash. All the parameters are getting correctly displayed in flash except the currency symbol. These currency symbols are extracted from db to php in form of html entities like(& pound;). I can't change the db as it will require many changes in all websites of mine. I have used rawurlencode in php before sending to flash but in flash it gets displayed as & pound; in flash. I have given space between "&" and "pound;" so it is not converted to symbol in the post . In db it is correctly entered with no space. Previously , I was sending directly by writing the object tag in php file and and writing the parameters in params tag withing object tag. It was working perfectly fine . Now I have start using swfobject.js javascript library of hosted by google for embedding the flash content. Now its not working ( currency symbol is not getting displayed instead it html entity unicode shown above is getting displayed.) . I can't change the flash files also. I have to handle it from php or javascript code only.
View 1 RepliesI am sending over a JavaScript Array to ActionScript. The JavaScript code is as follows:

When I run this on Safari for Windows, arrayInput is null. However, this method works fine in Safari for Mac, IE, FF, Chrome, and the variable holds the actual array.
In our application we have an embedded Flash control (in a HTML file in our Browser control) that shows some games. I looking for some way to call / notify this Flash control from C++ or JavaScript when some events are happening outside of it in order to display something / set it's internal values.
how (if possible) this could be acheived? I think there is an option to call JavaScript from C++ and then JavaScript call Flash, but that's looks a bit tricky to me. is there is a way to "call" the Flash control "directly" or send a message to it.
I am working on a break through technology which brings together Audio DSP, Embedded, C/C++ and Javascript/AS3. I am in charge of getting the javascript/as3 done .
I need to send Arrays to and fro Javascript / Actionscript 3.I tried the javascript/as gateway from http://osflash.org/flashjs. It's done in actionscript 2 and I might have to migrate it to as3. I am not sure how long it would take.And I tried the ExternalInterface class in AS3. But it seems only strings can be passed using the addCallBack() and call() methods. Moreover I was not able to reslove the security issues when the flash player tried to communicate with the javascript.
I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
I have a ColdFusion function which sends analytics called from a Flex sendPageAnalytics() function to a SQL database when the user navigates - this works perfectly.What I am trying to do is have the Flex application send a bunch of analytics when the user closes their browser, therefore providing information about the last navigation.
I have used an ExternalInterface callback and listener for window.onbeforeunload and a trace statement tells me that this is working fine.My problem is that when all bundled together, I get as far as tracing out that the sendPageAnalytics() function has been called, but I do not get a sendPageAnalyticsFaultHandler() trace or a sendPageAnalyticsResultHandler() trace, which I do on every other sendPageAnalytics() call.
I have a picture upload function in my flash and when I upload a picture I lose focus on the flash. This results in that all my listeners disappears. I cant click buttons, use dragbars etc. This only happens in FF. Im using flash player 10 and Snow Leopard. ive tried to get the focus back by sending a call to javascript:

Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.
The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.

I'm able to record sound with a Flash application embedded in my website, this audio is saved to a ByteArray, which I need to pass to Javascript in order to post to my server along with other required data.
I know I can use AS3 ExternalInterface class to communicate with Flash from Javascript, but what would be the appropriate format or variable type in javascript to hold the ByteArray, and how can I ensure that I won't lose much audio data when doing so?
I'm working on a project that has to pass variables to (and later read them from) a URL encoded text file.
Code:
getURL("process.cgi", "", "POST");
This has worked until now, dumping all of _level0's variables into the document, retrieving the relevant ones on load.I've recently made some modifications so that I'm no longer storing all the variables in _level0, but some of them as custom properties of objects, e.g.:
Code:
t1c1r1.customproperty = 6;
t1c2r1.customproperty = 5;
In these cases, the properties are not being passed to the process.cgi, and not getting recorded in the text file.
I suppose I could flatten the variables out, record them on _level0,
Code:
t1c1r1_customproperty = 6;
but I'm wondering if there's a way to send these variables as is.
In Action Script, FileReference.browse() is called. I would like to send the chosen file to Javascript and convert it to File object, just like if I would press the Browse button of the <input type='file /> and got File object. I need that to be able to display picture thumbnail like shown here. Maybe instead of passing the whole object it is possible to send only the required information for the thumbnail from the object?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to send an object's name to a global actionscript function. It works with a listener in the action layer:
_root.ButtonName.onRelease = function() {
trace(this._name);
}
But there will be hundreds of these objects, so I'd like to have each one call a global function, so I tried code for each button like this:
on (release) {
GlobalFunctionName(this._name);
}
But for some reason, the value being passed is null. (Although if I switch "this._name" for a string, that works correctly.) Question: How can a drone object pass its name to a central function? Should I be using "on (release)" or should I use a listener within each object instead? Also, is it best to make them Buttons or Graphics or Movie Clips since there will be so many of them?
I would like a text area that holds multiple strings to send its values to an array and the array to convert the string to an object. The objects then populate a datagrid. I can't really figure out where to go from here:
