ActionScript 3.0 :: Anything Like An Associative Vector?
Dec 14, 2010
The great thing about vectors is the data typing / autoComplete.. The thing about them that I hate is the numeric index and the resource intensive retrieval methods you need to pull an element.
so with objects:
myObject["myObjectKey"]
is great, fast, etc. BUT there's no data typing myVector[0].myProperty is fantastic for auto complete, but there's no quick index, instead a bunch of for loop logic that can get really messy in more complicated data models where there are a lot of relationships. Does anybody know of an elegant hybrid solution aside from things like
var myProperty:MyFavoriteDataModel = myObject["myProperty"] as MyFavoriteDataModel;

I'm getting
ActionScript Code:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
__AS3__.vec:Vector.ie.aro.floorplanviewer.model.buildingVOs:ConfigurationVO>[code]....
which surprises me as ConfigurationVO inherits from NodeVO.Is the compiler really not able to figure out that a Vector of a superclass should be able to hold a reference to a Vector of a subclass?

Created Vector with the initial length of 100.
var v:Vector. = new Vector.(100);
v[90] = "Ninety"
v[190] ="oneninety" //RangeError: Error #1125: The index 110 is out of range 100.
//How to change the length from 100 to 200 to store a value at index 190

I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.

I am writing to ask if there is anyone on the list tried to find out the index of elements of an associative array.
[Code]....
See, these are all part of regions array, which I believe is an associative one by the way I constructed it. I tried to use indexOf to find out the index of the individual elements, but don't seem to have too much luck.
ActionScript Code:
for (var s:String in regions) trace("
" + indexOf(s));
Right now, this does not bring me a thing. Have I done something wrong here?

I have been following tutorials but they don't seem to cover exactly what I'm doing.I have an associative array of values called definitionsArray which I use as references to instantiate classes in a run time shared library.I instantiate and push the object into a new array. The problem is when I try to access or do anything basically with that new array.As they are objects they don't seem to like being in a display list for example.
ActionScript Code:
var definitionsArray:Array;
var bubblesArray:Array;

I was trying something out, and came across a little error. I wrote the following code to create an array and, using each value of that array, create an associative array for the values of xVelocity and yVelocity.[code]But I get an error from that as well. I think I understand basically why this doesn't work, but I'm wondering if, given the spirit of what I'm trying to do, you can think of a working alternative.

I have a large vector drawing (imagine 5000x5000) that i want to break up into separate pieces. I know that I can convert this vector drawing into a bitmap and then use the copyPixels method to create many separate bitmaps of the different regions of the original vector drawing, but is there any way to subdivide it into movieclips that just contain vector graphics instead of a bitmap?The reason im dividing a big chunk of vector graphics into smaller pieces is for performance reasons, so flash would only render a small part of this big chunk at a time (only certain regions/voxels/subdivisions are rendered at a time). But bitmaps apparently take up a lot of memory and the system im using would take much less memory if these subdivisions could be preserved in their original vector graphics form.
I imagine I could use masks somehow to achieve this effect (for each subdivision, duplicate the huge image and mask only the region that the subdivision represents), but I dont know the performance costs of masking or if this will create other problems.So is there anyway to split up a movieclip of vector graphics into smaller movieclips of vector graphics the same way copyPixels can with bitmaps?

I have loaded XML into flash and everything is great. I have an Associative Array that makes a dynamic menu and everything is great.
What I would like to do is combine the two and have my loaded XML fill up the Array and the dynamic menu.
Here is the XML portion:
Actionscript Code:
//Importsimport flash.net.URLLoader;import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.events.Event;//Create XMl variablevar teamsXML:XML;//Create URL Loadervar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();//Tell the URLLoader named XMlLoader to listen for the xml //file to finish loading, then run the function

I have an associative array.
Actionscript Code:
myArray = {car:"Ford",type:"Mustang"},{car:"Chevy",type:"Camaro"});
Now if I wanted to add data to the indexes how would I do it?
For instance I now want to add years 1985,and 2000 to the index 0 and 1.

Is there a test to see if an Object is an associative array?

in many programming languages there is this great idiom that lets you use a hash to count occurrences of items. Eg in Perl, suppose you have a list of students and you want to see how many of each name you have (2 Bobs, 1 Jeremy, 22 Aidans etc):
my %uniqueNames;
for (@studentNames){ $uniqueNames{$_}++; }
# print it out[code]....
So you can do this in ActionScript 3 of course, using the Object.The problem is NaN. If you try to autocreate and autoincrement a key at the same time, you get NaN, and the whole thing breaks down.Sure, you can use a conditional to test whether the key exists, and then autoincrement it, or set it to one if not, but that's ugly.
studentNames[name] = studentNames[name] ? studentNames[name] + 1 : 1; // shudder

How do I push an entry into an associative array?
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Object = new Object({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]...
This doesn't work. The first name and last name work because they are created when the object was created, but the pushed middle name remains undefined.I understand that associative arrays are in fact objects. I tried turning it into a real array so the Push command would work cause it's part of the Array Class.
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Array = new Array({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]....
Though this works, it only works when using a '1'. When in fact I want to keep it inside the '0' entry.So how do I really add an entry into an assciative array? So that in above example instead of each having two elements one is added resulting in three elements per entry?

I have a multidimentional array already made, brought in from a CSV file via csvlib.I also have the headers in an array and I would like a way to assign this array as the keys for the arrays.here's a simplification. have a data array like so
data[0] -> [0] blue, [1] 1984, [2] wednesday
[1] -> [0] green, [1] 1926, [2] friday
and a simple array of keys/properties (header array) like so:
[0] colour, [1] year, [2] weekday
I'd like to insert the keys to make
data[0] -> [colour] blue, [year] 1984, [weekday] wednesday
[1] -> [colour] green, [year] 1926, [weekday] friday
i've read up into associative arrays a bit and am not getting how to do this. (there's 38 properties so remember which is which is going to be quite inconvenient).I sort of thought csvlib would do this automatically but it appears the headers just exist completely independently.

If I have an associative array, say, cars = {make: "Honda", year: "1997", model: "civic"} is there an actionscript function to retrieve just the keys, (namely make, year, and model)? If not, how could it be efficiently done?
