ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Individual Timers To Sprites In An Array?
Jun 21, 2009
What I have:
Code:
var glideShootingTimer:Timer = new Timer (500);
glideShootingTimer.start();
glideShootingTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, glideShoot);
[code]....
What it does:Every half second create a torpedo underneath every "glide" sprite on the stage.What is wrong:Every "glide" fires at the same time as the others.What I need:A way to individually time the firing. A way to make it fire in independent half second intervals, not all at once.

In AS3 on Android is it bad from a performance perspective to attach mouse event listeners to individual sprites rather than to the stage? I am writing an app for an Android phone using AS3 in Flash Builder. The app has multiple screens that respond to user touch. The screens are arranged in a hierarchy and show list data so that when you click on an item in a list you are presented with a new screen with a new sub list on it.
I have been using an event listener to detect mouse / touch input and based on something I read that indicated that performance is much better if you keep the number of objects you are listening to to a minimum I have attached the mouse listeners from each screen to the stage object.
This all works fine but I am finding that as I move between screens (and they get popped or pushed onto the dislay stack) I have to keep track of alot of adding and removing listeners to the stage object. If I don't then windows higher up the hierarchy than the current screen keep receiving mouse events.
If I used listeners attached to sprites in each window then when the window was removed from the display even though it is kept in memory (ready to be popped back when a child window is closed) it won't receive any mouse events....
Performance doesn't seem to be impacted using listeners directly on sprites when using my HTC phone to test with, however I obviously don't know what it will be like on other phones. Does anyone have any experience either way or a view on the best approach?

Is there a way to do this? I have a bunch of photos scrolling left and right and I need to reduce the jerkiness of the scrolling motion somehow (so it works well on slower machines). Is there another way to do this via AS3?

I have Flex 4 DataGrid, what I would like to do is when an cell has been edited, I would then like to walk through the values of that column and preform math on the values, e.g., I want to total up certain values.
1) How do I reference individual values of a specific column so that I may set them.
2) How do I then set those values or should I create a new column array and pop it in place of that column.

Is it possible to control the properties of 'advancedgridcolumns' in 'advanceddatagrid' mxml tag. For e.g. suppose the grid data provider has 3 different fields. Out of these 3 fields, one field is 'to_be_decided'. This field should not be displayed initially. Only the remaining 2 columns should be displayed (visible true) and the third column (one with data field as 'to_be_decided', visible flag will be false here ) should be hidden. It will be visible when some event like a button click or something is fired.
We can do this in action script coding by accessing individual columns of grid and taking appropriate actions. But will it be possible to do so in mxml? Is there some default property in grid that can be used here ?In mxml I can not access them individually in the grid (under tag) and hence I can not set the visible attributes individually for each of them. To add them one by one in 'columns' tags I would be required to know the data field in array collection and that I dont know. Only data field known is 'to_be_decided', rest two fields will vary time to time. Therefore even if I addd this one gridcolumn in 'columns' tag what about the other two?
Something like this :
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumns dataField='to_be_decided' visible=false>
<!-- How to add other 2 columns here ? -->
</mx:columns>

Is there a way where I can compile or build different frame rates into the various layers I create using an action script?? I.e. If there are say six layers running in a particular player, each layer should be running at a different frame rate, independent of each other
The problem am facing is am playing multiple media content in multiple layers (masked, so that it appears as if all the layers are playing in the same level) and each media content played in different layers needs to be played at a different frame rate to get a good visual effect!

In a game I'm making the timers that I use go one speed when I run it by pushing Ctrl-Enter in Flash but when I run the external .swf file created, the timers go considerably slower.I have managed to work around this by making the timers reset at lower intervals but I would rather not have to resort to this.

If I change some value for a parent sprite, the same value will affect all of its children. So if I set alpha or width on the parent, the child will automaticly get the same value.

I'm building a page that uses an array to deploy a series of timers that do a variety of things. The problem is at any point the user needs to be able to navigate away from the page and when they do they get a timer tick error. To stop this, I have been trying to write a function that stops all the timers which I can do when I write all the timers out the long way, but I'm failing when trying to stop the timers created with the array. I'm getting the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 3 not found on flash.utils.Timer and there is no default value.
Here is the code:
Code:
var timerRepeats:Number = 1;
var currentTimerLength:Array = [1500, 4500, 500, 1500, 1500];
var i:Number = 0;
var timerCount:Number = 0;
var totalTimers:Number = 3;
[Code] .....
I assume that this relates to my attempt to use the variable to identify each of the various timers and stop them (apparently flash is not actually creating an instance name for each of the timers like it would for a movieclip).

I'm having one of those brain cramp days..I'm trying to add a number of items (sprites) from an array to the stage. There are 5 items in the array, and I want to randomly pick one of them, add it to the stage, and do this 100 times.My end result only has 5 items. I can see why, because when I try to add the same item again, it replaces the previous placed item. I can't think of how to duplicate the item in the array to add as a new Sprite
ActionScript Code:
private var sizes:Array = new Array(15,10,5,20,30);
private var squares:Array = new Array(); // becomes populated with square sprites the sizes

I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

The code works fine, but I am getting unexpected results; the array seems to be shared across multiple instances of the same class? I've coded an example to highlight what is happening:
Code:
import myClass;
var instance:Array = new Array();
instance[0] = new myClass;
[Code].....
keep all objects/arrays separate across multiple instances of the class.

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

I have an array which is filled up when someone clicks on a button.
something like this:
Code:
var ThumbArray:Array = new Array();
//on click, adds new value like this
ThumbArray[ThumbArray.length] = [productid.text, viewID.text, price.text]
I limit it to a maximum of 14 values.I now need to know a good way to set a variable equal to the value of a row of the array - but if there is no value then it becomes "0"
So this is my code so far
Code:
theVariables.varMat1 = ThumbArray[0][1];
theVariables.varMat2 = ThumbArray[1][1];
theVariables.varMat3 = ThumbArray[2][1];
theVariables.varMat4 = ThumbArray[3][1];

I have an array that I have set up that would go with a series of movie clips, and I am trying to combine them with functions that upload xml pictures--firstImage(), secondImage(), and so forth.
Here is the array that I have:
Code:
var currentButtonId:Number = 0;
var buttons:Array = [btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4, btn5, btn6];
function buttonRelease() {
[Code]....
It enables and disables the movieclips depending on which one is clicked. But I want to make the xml functions (firstImage(), secondImage()...) go with the buttons in sequence. So once btn1 gets pressed the firstImage() xml function gets called.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I have as3 script that successfully displays an array of MovieClips, the MCs have variable xy positions, and in some cases they overlap each other. I have a function within the array that I can't quite figure out. Here's what I'd like the function to do: When the cursor rolls over a particular MC displayed by the array,I'd like that MC to be brought to the front of the others. This is my script:
var myArray:Array = new Array(); for(var i:int=0; i<8; i++) { myArray[i]= new myImage();addChild(myArray[i]);myArray[i].x = 180*i;myArray[i].y = 330;myArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , overlap);
function overlap (event:MouseEvent):void
{trace('function triggered on image ' + i);

I'm trying to create a dynamic text field which displays the first number contained in an array named _root.arr. I set var to "_root.arr[0]" to catch the first number in the array. Unfortunately it doesn't work because it shows just a blank text field.
I've also noticed that if I just set var to "_root.arr" all the numbers contained in the array will be displayed separeted by a comma.
So, how can I just display the first number in the array?
