ActionScript 3.0 :: Starting Animations For All Objects In Array

Apr 11, 2011

I've defined an array and want all the objects to start playing their animations when the project opens. Here's the relevant code (with only the first object playing the animation so far):

ActionScript Code:
var coinArray:Array = [coin1, coin2]; //an array which contains all of the coins
var numCoinArray:int = coinArray.length; //how many objects are in the coinArray
function init() //Loads assets to the stage and starts animations
{for(var i:int = 0; i< numCoinArray; i++)//set i to 0; if i is < numLevelArray perform code below; +1 to i {
var o:DisplayObject = coinArray[i]; //gets the object at index i,
o.gotoAndPlay(1); //perform operation on that object
}}

The error I'm getting at the moment is the line "o.gotoAndPlay(1)" where I get this error in the output section:
"Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.display: DisplayObject."
I'm presuming that the code line above "var o: DisplayObject = coinArray[i];" is the problem and should be changing DisplayObject to something else, I'm just not sure what?

Starting Off With Flash Animations?

Sep 11, 2009

I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand. To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?

ActionScript 3 :: Generating Random Starting Points For Incoming Objects?

Oct 26, 2011

we have this game where you control an avatar in the middle of the stage that defends itself from incoming projectiles. If it hits them with its arms or legs you get a +1, but if they hit the head or torso you get a -1. But cant figure out how to spawn them randomly along a given path. See picture below. Want them to come in from the sides but have the same "destination-area" - which would be the head & torso.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Isolate Character / Can Add Other Objects And Animations

Nov 11, 2011

I have this animation I made that I'm trying to import using Flash.  It's a pretty simple animation, with a black background and orange for the main character.What I was wondering is this: is there any way to change the color of the character in Flash so that it will subsequently change the color in each of the frames?Also, is there any way to isolate the character so that I can add other objects and animations that move independently from the primary animation?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does Setting An Array Of Objects To Null Erase The Objects From Memory

Apr 27, 2010

I 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 []?

Flash :: Sorting An Array So That 3 Types Of Objects Are Evenly Distributed Throughout The Array?

Oct 17, 2011

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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Objects In An Array?

Aug 10, 2011

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access An Array Of Objects For UI?

Jul 16, 2009

I've successfully access a web service in as3 and pulled the xml from it into a large array of objects

ie

Code:
array
object
array

[Code].....

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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Various Objects From An Array?

Feb 23, 2009

I have a utility function:

function removeFromArray(item:Object, arr:Array):Object {
for(var i:uint = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if(item == arr

[Code]....

This function searches through an array and sees if an item exists in it, if it does, it removes it and returns a reference to that item.

This works fine for most things. But I just ran into a problem where I need to remove an array from an array.

so my array looks like this [ [item1a, item1b], [item2a, item2b] ]; and i need to remove [item1a, item1b] from it. But passing in the the array to remove and the full array to remove it from does not work because i guess of the casting to an object in the parameters list. Can the functionality i want be used? if so how?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Hit Testing Objects In Array

Nov 25, 2011

I'm having a serious problem with looping through an array. I'm trying to hitTestObject every MC in an array against every other MC in that array.The issue is that in my hitTestObject statement, if obviously looks at only 2 elements at a time.When 2 MC's touch, I set a property called "Touching" to true.The problem is these are moving MCs and at any given time only 2 out of 3 are touching.So what's happening is:The loop runs once testing Array[0] and Array[1].Say those are touching.It sets their "Touching" properties to true(thats what I want).THEN, it runs again testing Array[1] and Array[2], and finds that they are NOT overlapping.It this process it sets both of their "Touching" properties to false, EVEN THOUGH one of them may be overlapping a different array object.I want to individual set the "Touching" property for each array object.Right now these properties are getting overwritten even though 2 out of 3 objects are actually overlapping.[code]
