I have a text file that has a large list of words. Each word is on its own line but has no commas or any punctations in between.Can I turn this file into an array with each word being a string in the array?Can I do this without manually putting commas in between each word?
View 1 RepliesI'm doing a external image slider, and i have to put some words appearing with each image. Those words must be editable, so i can't just simply draw them on photoshop. Besides that, must be updated sometimes. Finnaly, there is an motion tween applied to the words. Now, the problem is this: The list of words to put in this fla is extense (something like 20 words). So, to update this, i don't want to open flash and edit one by ony, having to edit in place all the words in all the motion layers, it would be very anoying. So i'd like to use something like a notepad file to update these words, or something looked like...

For a word matching game, when a player moves a piece I need to check the entire dictionary to see if the the word that the player made exists in the dictionary. I need to do this as quickly as possible. simply iterating through the dictionary is way too slow.
What is the quickest algorithm in AS3 to search a long list like this for a match, and what datatype should I use? (ie array, object, Dictionary etc)
I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.
I'm trying to figure out how to get this started. I'd like to type a word in a textfield and have it search for a match through a list of words in xml. There would be 26 xml files containing a list of words starting with a letter of the alphabet.
View 2 RepliesI have a fairly complicated question about converting the data on an image into an array. At the moment the map of a game i am developing is stored like this:
ActionScript Code:
public var isle:Array = new Array(
0, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5,
0, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5,
0, 0, 1, 3, 1, 4, 5,
0, 0, 1, 3, 3, 1, 5)
However now the size of the map has grown I need to be able to convert this:
Red = 0
Blue = 1
Green = 3
Yellow = 4
Black = 5

0, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5,
0, 0, 1, 3, 1, 4, 5,

I have a sentence that's basically items from an array, and I have this line that when I type one of those words on it, that word is removed from that sentence/array. And I'm having trouble coming up with a function, I'm trying to make it an if statement.so far I tried: and I know I need to put splice in, but this is just to see if it works or not.

I want something where I click a button, and it replaces words with other synonyms automatically. My thoughts are:
set up array
(array1=array2)
array1="word1","word2","word3"
array2="word1","word2","word3"
search text for word in array1
if find in text= word in array1
replace with random word in array2
Would anyone know how to set this up, or point me in the right direction?
is it possible to have an array of words, and then, with another set of code, to have those words randomly animating (perhaps from the distance, to closer up, like a zooming non-blurred effect) on the stage?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

The words are drawn from an array that is assigned, but I need to have these words flash in a particular order.For example, if the "words" were A, B, C, D, E (each of which I've assigned a stored value), I might need to show A C E B A A F.
View 3 Repliesso i search for keywords ofc, but...doing this isn't really my thing:input.text.indexOf("spam") != -1 && input.text.indexOf("more") ! -1 && ... etc
I'd like to make it some what like:input.text.indexOf(<database>) != -1
I'll start by posting my code then explain what I want it to achieve.

What I am attempting and failing to do after much trial and error is to have a random ingredient from the ingredientList array pushed into the previewIngredients array making sure the new value going in is not already in the preview ingredients array. If the same value is there I want it to keep choosing an ingredient from the list array until it finds a value thats not in the preview array then push that one in there. It feels like I'm getting close but obviously I'm either going about it the wrong way or just missing a little somthing somthing out.
how to populate a list box component located within a seperate mc in my swf with an array... the array comes from a response from a webservice call. I am not currently on the computer with my source code available so lets just use the following....

So, pretty much I have made a little flash app for a project at uni, and I have a tree which these little bat creates land onI have drawn the tree as a MC, and then use a hitTestPoint function to check wether the centre point of each bat character is touching the tree. If so land... blah blah pretty simple.Except I need to create a function that actually randomly spawns these characters on the tree. So to do this i would ideally have a get function that collects every x and y point on the and stores this data into a list

I'm building a kind of dynamic level generator, at the moment I have it draw a grid of alternating coloured squares/plots (for visual debug), currently set at 1 pixel which I then scale up so they are easier to see. I make a list of all these open 'plots' in an array(maybe a dictionary would be better?)... Next I draw a random selection of roads on top of my grid in another sprite. Ranging in width from 2 to 8 plots. First drawing all the horizontal, and then the vertical ones. Now I'm wondering what would be the best way of finding all the plots/pixels that these roads occupy?I thought perhaps I could draw the roads into bitmap data, and then find the x,y values of all the black pixels? something like:
PHP Code:
var bData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(roads.width, roads.height, false);
bData.draw(roads)

Basically each row in my table is a different food. I have columns for basic things like description. But, I have a "ingredients" array, and "how much" array, in an array. Basically on my end I can go ingredientsArray[0] howMuch[0] to display the ingredient and how much of it. So, Id like to save both of these arrays in a cell for the row of the food. I heard I could serialize the array, and save it. But I need it to be searchable. (Also, there is no set limit to how many ingredients. So I cant like have a column for each thats why I am going the array route). I'm doing my programming in AS3, and usng AMFPHP to connect to Mysql.
