I want to use a button to affect multiple objects with a similar name, such as [code]I want to be able to use something like an array to affect them with a single line, rather than having to write every single object into a piece of code, such as [code]Where X equals any number. Sorry if this description is vague, I can't seem to get my head around arrays.

In my flash scene, I want to put several items off screen (to make things easier) which are going to rush through the scene (they are very big in size) but I worry that they might slow down the movie as it's playing.
But if I have things off the scene (out of view upon playback), do they affect the speed of the movie (affecting the memory and slowing things down)? To give you a better idea here is the scene: There is a vehicle moving quickly and the camera is facing the right side of the vehicle, so we can see the moving landscape behind the vehicle. I can either create a very very long landscape and movie it all one time (if having the long landscape off the screen does not affect the movie's speed), or I can create certain points of the movie where I ad and take away from the landscape.

I have an array I am using to hold movie clips, and I'd like to be able to change all of them at once using the array. Now, I can do it using array[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...].changestuff but with 60 or so movieclips, it gets unwieldy. Is there a simpler way to go through the entire array and apply the changes to each movieclip stored within?
View 3 RepliesDoes one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?
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 []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?

im creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.
I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.
What's the best way to say:
if(this.object in same array as that.object)
with multiple arrays containing multiple objects?
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

The Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.

I have declared an Array as a new Array(); I would like to push objects into that array but have a text field read back the array minus the commas that are pushed by user interaction (from numbered buttons).
For example, if the user pushes button 1 then button 4 then button 8 I would like the array to read in the text field 148 instead of 1,4,8 .

I am building a scrolling image bar, so I've created code that works perfect on one object. However, I need this code to apply to multiple objects at once so that they will move left and right and resize independently from each other (to give this sort of 3d revolving look). Other boxes will be to left and right of the current black box. Code is below as well as link.

I am creating a small game for a project im doing it is only ten levels long but I wish to include feature such as saving etc. I have one some research on Shared Objects and it seems to be the best method. The idea I wish to execute is to have at the end of a level after reaching the levels goal have a piece of code that runs and saves that the next level has been unlocked. This seems relatively simple. However i have done things awkwardly i think, instead of creating the whole game within a single fla. each level is a seperate file, eg. level1.fla, level2.fla etc. Is it possible to use the same shared object across multiple .fla's?

I would like to know if I can get an error or some other problems when I try to tween several objects like this and using an onComplete-property:
TweenLite.to(restartBtn, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(mainMenuBtn, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:quitFadeIn});
What I want to do is fade out several objects at once and when they finished a special function gets called. Are there other possibilities when using tweenlite available or do I have to use timelinelite?
