I have 4 arrays named array1 to array4, is there any way to reference them dynamically? What I mean is if I have for example
var currentValue:int = 3;
and I want to be able to access a specific array depending on that value, is there an easy way to do that in AS3?In as2 you could do something along the lines of
("array" + currentValue);
but that doesnt work in AS3
I need to make a function (inside Flash) that will let a swf find out what date it is (each time it is loaded from a server) and then - according to the date - display a frame designated to that date. Optionally, I could have the swf load another swf based on the date.Originally I had planned to make some php wrap-around that would do the loading of different swf's for me - but this is not an option since the swf may soon be uploaded to a server that I cannot feed with php-documents (I don't get access for that - swf only!)So now I must find a way to do this within the swf. But as of right now I am clueless.
One thing I did learn during my googling the past many hours is that the "Date class" in Actionscript is risky - in that it 'reads' what date the end user has on his/her machine. So in the event that some user has the date misconfigured that will screw up what my swf will display.Therefore I am hoping that I could somehow do a variation of php's "echo date" and get the date from the server - but inside Flash. And then have that bit of data call for a certain frame/scene/loaded swf.
I was wondering if nayone knows how to have an animation play depending on the day of the month it is. I am working on an advent calander for a client and it would be nice if an animation would play depending on the day of the month.

View 2 RepliesI have a progress bar as a healthbar in a game. The healthbar regenerates 10 pr millisecond for now because i like the smoothness. But if the delay increases it would take a lot longer to regenerate.
Aren't there any formular to calculate some kind of factor for this? so the lifebar would regenerate within a constant time no matter what. If the delay is 2 seconds it would just make the regen more choppy and if delay is 1 millisecond it would just update more.

Suppose I have an xml looking like this?
Code:

<firstName>Erin</firstName>

How would I access the specific attribute "6403"? I tried sth like this but did not work :
"emp.employee[2].@id"
Here is the thing : I have a several frames on which I have several MCs. logical.
On some frames, I have MCs that have the same name that on other frames. Right now, I access the frames by a gotoAndStop() and then access the MCs of the frame in the very frame. What I want to do : I want to be able to access the MCs of all the frames from the first one to initiate them (loading purpose). But since I have MCs with the same name, I can't juste do "MCName.whatever()" because as wouldn't know which one to chose. So here's my question : is there a way to use the object-like syntax to prefix the MC Name by it's frame ? ie : frame is "Frame2"

Here's what I'm currently doing/trying to do to accomplish my goal. But it is not removing the "row" the way I would like it too.
So, I'm making an object, then pushing it into an array. And the adding to the array part works fine and just as I expect.

nearProfileInfoObj.type = "userInfo";
nearProfileInfoObj.dowhat = "add";

But this doesnt seem to be deleting the whole row like it implies.

I have a text (textbox1) in the 3rd frame of a MovieClip (movieclip1).
How can I access that textbox1 from the main timeline, when the MovieClip is not at its 3rd frame?
For example to change it to "Hello!"?
how I can access array data inside of an mc from the main timeline.. I am hoping to get into an array called children, which is inside of an mc, which itself is inside of an array called mcs.
Here is what I am trying to get to: mcs[m].children[0];
Can I use the indexes of an array that is a child of another array?

I'm using the following array to add children to the stage:
for(var i=0;i<6;i++) {
var aCherry=new cCherry()
aCherry.y=10
aCherry.x=10+100*i
stage.addChild(aCherry)
}
Now I want to modify each cherry based on another array. Something like this:
[Code]...
Clearly stage.getChildByName("aCherry")[i] isn't correct, but coming from JavaScript this makes the most sense to me and should accurately portray what I'm trying to achieve for you guys reading this. So, how would I actually do this? This being getting an array of children added to the stage under a certain name or class (so an array of cCherry would work too, if necessary), then using them in a way similar to the above loop.
