ActionScript 3.0 :: Using An Expression To Access An Array?
Sep 22, 2011
I have 3 extenal flv files that can be loaded into the main movie when pressing a button.I am using seek and cuePoints to provide a DVD 'chapter-type' navigation.The cue points (in seconds) for each flv are stored as separate arrayshen I click to load a flv, I want to change the array that is being used to seek the playhead.I thought I could do that by using a 'current movie' variable and use an expression to access the relevant array. The essential code (for brevity) is like this:
//
var flv1cuePoint:Array = new Array(10,30,50);
var flv2cuePoint:Array = new Array(30,50,60);
[code].......

I've been having a few problems with accessing an array from a different function.
The array I want to use is from the makeFly function, which generates instances of the Fly MovieClip. I want to access the array from the paperSwing function, which should test for a collision between the mouse cursor and the fly movieclip, and then if true remove the instance. This is the part where I'm having a bit of trouble, I'm not sure of how to access the array "name[i]".
This is from the "Main" Document class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Heres the code, I want the turnQueue to be growing as keys are pressed, and at the moment its not updating from the first function.
public function keyListener(e:KeyboardEvent):void {

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

I am trying to play movie clips from an array. I can do this using randObj[1] but would like to use a variable randObj[i] to play the movie clips. I do not want to use root. I think something is wrong with the syntax i am using because randObj[i] comes back undefined when i trace it. Here is the code i am using
Code:
i=0;
var randObj:Array = new Array("obj1", "obj2", "obj3");

In AS2, you used to be able to access an array using a string variable by putting it in [].[code]...
Is there a way to do this in AS3 without having to create pointers and references?

I'm learning a lot by reading the questions and answers that are asked in the Forum. Now it is my turn to ask a question that is probably a rookie, but I have spend 3 days breaking my head to try to find a solution and have not found it yet.
I am trying that the program responds to each click of the player in a box that is white and turns red, with a random click in another box. Something similar to Tic Tac Toe.
My problem is that I can't make te program to access the boxes in the array by programming. When I try the program to access the box with p.ex.: "this.newBox.boxplus30.gotoAndStop (2);" I always get the error "object null or undefined". I have tried everything you can imagine to formulate that line of code, but without success.[code]...

I am creating a movie that loads data from xml files into an array. The values in the array are then accessed by a clip loaded into the main timeline.
I can trace the values in the array without an issue from the main timeline. When I store an array value to variable and trace that variable from the loaded clip I get a value back back. If I try to access the array directly from the loaded clip everything returns undefined.[code]...

Possible Duplicate:In Flash, how would I run an e4x statement when that statement is stored in a String?I know there is an existing question regarding this problem, but it got no replies.Ideally, I would like to stick an e4x expression in a string and run it.
var tempXML:XML = someXML;
var stringe4x:XML = "pictures.picture.(size > 200)";
tempXML.eval(pictures); //something instead of eval
Since AS3 doesn't have eval, this doesn't work; however, there is the ability to use elements() and attributes() to get the elements or attributes on the same XML node level, but this doesn't work for the more complicated e4x filters such as "(id > 300)" or ".." notation.

I'm new to these forums and to actionscript as well, so please excuse my lack of clarity when explaining this situation, I'm learning on my own and in my free time!This isn't really a problem in the sense that I've found a workaround to it, but it's bugging me that I don't understand what's going on in this situation. In the last couple of weeks I have been working on a gridless pathfinding solution for a point & click game, I finally got it done, but I was stuck at some point for a few days and I discovered that there was an x property of a point I was referencing that kept changing back to a previous value assigned to it. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but so you guys see what I'm talking about:

First a fabric button sets:
_root.fabricbuttonselected="_root.fabric01";
then the color button sets:
_root.selectedcolor=_root.fabricbuttonselected + "_chip10_name";
This returns the name of a variable:
"_root.fabric01_chip10_name"
however I have preset the variable to "Rose"
_root.fabric01_chip10_name = "Rose";
My dynamic text box is set to:
_root.selectedcolor
but instead of displaying "Rose" it displays"_root.fabric01_chip10_name" Basically I need to get the literal value to equal an expression- how do I do this?

I have a multidimensional array on the main timeline. Its name is myInst. I need to access this array from this class to build a scrolling list of swfs which the path to the swfs is in the myInst array. I have not included the entire code/class because the issue is somewhere in this part. The error is 1009, cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This fla is not going to be the root fla, it is going to be external, so the use of root probably will not work, but I tried it anyway, to no avail.. for any help.

I don't seem to be able to find some info regarding this problem of mine anywhere...I would like to be able to access multiple values in an array.Let say I have an array with the index values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.These values will in reality be posts of htmltext for a news section - contained in an external xml-file.I would like to access these "values" like so:0, 1, 2 and then if you click a forward button the next three indexes 3, 4, 5 & so on. There will also be a back button with reverse functionality. I'm guessing a for loop?This loads the correct indexes the 1:st time.[code]...
But my problem is when clicking the buttons - how do I add and subtract from the var i? The problem is also when reaching the end & there might be just a single post or so instead of 3 - how can all of this be solved? Or does anyone now of a tutorial similar to my problem. I've found some tutorials but they only deal with one post at a time...
