ActionScript 3.0 :: Arrays And Conditionals Not Working?
Feb 8, 2010
I'm working with CS4 and AS3 using timeline coding. I have three sets of movie clips in three different arrays. The idea is to have topArray and downArray movies make zeroArray movies visible. For instance, if topArray[0] and downArray[0] are clicked, then r0_0 becomes visible. PROBLEM: r0_0 becomes visible when EITHER topArray or downArray is clicked. How to make r0_0 wait until BOTH top and downArray movies are clicked?

I've got a function which uses a 'hitTestObject' test if two moive clips are touching each other. A FOR loop has been used to run through all the zones, to check if they've been touched. Within this FOR loop is an IF condition which then locks the ball to that particular zone if the ball and zone are touching. The ELSE statement sends the ball back to a random place on the stage if they're not touching.
However, the IF statement seems to be getting bypassed. Whenever a ball is dragged over a zone and the mouse is released, rather than locking to that zone's x and y positions, it gets placed randomly on the stage...i.e. the ELSE statement is being activated all the time?! I've commented out the ELSE condition and the IF works fine on it's own, it's just when the ELSE condition is included the IF is bypassed.
ActionScript Code:
private function zoneFill(event:MouseEvent):void{
for (var i:uint = 0; i<=8; i++){
var index:Number = event.target.name.substring(5,6);
if(event.target.hitTestObject(zone[i]) && zoneFull[i] == false && event.target._ballPlaced[index]== false){

I finally decided to start learning about arrays in AS3 and i could use a I learned how to create an array and add references to movie clips in the library, next thing i want to learn is how i can add multiple instances of one movie clip to the stage without having to name each one and do the addChild thing.

My fish is swimming along and needs to catch the food and avoid the poison. I've attempted to create arrays for the food and the poison so they are randomly dropping down. I've also added a hittest but can't get it to work.
I'm not really happy with the randomisation of the array, there are too many instances appearing on screen and I'm not sure how to fix this. Is there an easier way to animate the food dropping down without using as2 and arrays? There is also something wrong with my score, each food should be +10 to score and poison should be -10, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I also don't know what script to type to end the game to either a congratualtions screen or game over screen. Basically I have no idea what I'm doing and haven't had much help from my teacher, he may as well be speaking another language.

so here is the problem that I have so far. I tried to simplify my code so I can attempt to figure this out, but I have had absolutely no luck. I have a viewstack that contains 1 dropdown per stack. They share the same data provider. What I want to do is to select the item contents from the first one. Once I do that, when I click a button to the next stack I have a function that searches from index 0 to the dataprovider length and if the item from the first stack matches the second one, I want to have the second dropdown pick that item up and display it. I have it matching, and I try to select it, but when I run the application it shows up like nothing is selected. Here is what I have:
edit: I got it to work for a simple example, but when I attempt to use it in my more complicated example, on that button click it for some reason resets the value of selectedIndex to -1. How do I prevent this from happening? This is working code for the simple example

I've got a function which looks at movieclips (ball#_mc) which have been placed in a target zone (_ballPlaced[#] boolean). It then decides where to go on each movieclip timeline depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone.Only the first condition is ever met, i.e. when all the balls are in a zone, they jump to their correct places in their timelines....however, it doesn't work for any of the other 'else if' conditions?
Here's my code...
// function to determine which video to play for each ballprivate function playVideo(event:Event):void { if (ball0_mc._ballPlaced[0] && ball1_mc._ballPlaced[1] && ball2_mc._ballPlaced[2] && ball3_mc._ballPlaced[3]) { ball0_mc.gotoAndPlay("BluYelRedGre");

Is there a better way to do use a use a boolean with visible? I'm setting up animations that have conditions for visibility, and I don't want to use something that performs poorly. This animation blinks 30 times and stops. It works without error, but takes a moment to load. I would like to learn other ways of using visibility with conditionals.
This is what I used 'waits before playing'
if(condition=5){
box.visible = !box.visible;
This works fine 'no pause'
if(condition<6){
box.visible = !box.visible;

Just wanted to know if someone can explain the difference between these two conditionals:
if ( !object )
if ( object == null )
where object is an instance of a user-defined class.I'm sure that these two cannot be used in an interchangeable manner, or are they?

I have the following: ActionScript Code: if ((player.charVelocity < 9.0180945396304027e-26 && player.charVelocity > -9.0180945396304027e-26)) it seems to be firing as soon as charVelocity gets between 1 and -1. Am I writing that correctly? I assume it would work as I copied the syntax it was outputting for the variable value (which is set to 'int')

I want to calculate the angle a line makes with the positive x-axis in a clockwise direction. It's a lot like a bearing except instead of North, I want the angle it makes with positive x-axis. The image illustrates what I'm after.
Below is the code I wrote to achieve this. It works fine but I am just wondering if there's a way to reduce all these if statements.
ActionScript Code:
/**
* @return Bearing, in radians, of <code>p2</code> from <code>p1</code>

var btn:Button;
if(btn != null && btn.label != '') {
mx.controls.Alert.show("d");
}
In the above if clause, is it guaranteed that the first condition(btn != null) will be evaluated before the second condition?

i'm working on a homework assignment in where we created a match game. It's up to me to figure out how to tell the action script which difficulty the user play the game at. There are 3 buttons easy, mediym, hard. Each one lays out an increased number of cards say 4 for easy 8 for medium etc.
we are supposed to use the switch conditional to do this.My problem is how does the switch know which button was clicked?here is the code so far, it is only set up for the easy at the moment.It works fine until I tried to set up the switch.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
when I click the easy button in the swf file I get this message.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property level not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.

correct syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.
