I have a mixed Array, containing instances of a custom Image class, and of the FLVPlayback class.. I want to be able to loop through the Array, and check whether each element is a video or an image?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to do something such as:
Code:
var n:Node = openList.shift();
I know that all of the data contained inside openList is a type of Node object, but Flash returns an error. I don't know how to typecast such as placing (in another language)...
Code:
(Node) openList.shift();
...to tell Flash that the data returned will be a Node object.
Better yet, is there a way to specify, while declaring the array, the type of the data that will be placed in it?
I could just take the :Node tag out from my variable declaration, but this might be in a tutorial, so I should at least act like I believe half the stuff about proper coding I write about
I have an array that has mixed data of strings and integers and i want to sort it by the LAST element which is an integer:
myArray[string,string,integer,integer,string,integer]
Why doesnt my Array work? I get this message:
"Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 83 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
PHP Code:
var boxArray:Array= new Array();boxArray.push(WallLeft);boxArray.push(WallLeft2);

I want to do something like this in Actionscript 3:
if(variable is Object) ...;
else ...;
Where variable could be a String(), Number(), Array(), Object()...Currently the above check returns true for all of these types, which makes sense. I only want it to return true for objects made with new Object(), however.
I have a function and it accepts an argument, it can be a MovieClip or an Array. How can I determine what the type is of the argument? I did an attempt, but it didn't work, my code currently looks like so:
Code:
var peopleArray:Array = new Array("Alfred", "Bob", "Casper", "David");
function myFunction (givenArray:Object) {
if (givenArray.dataType == Array) {
trace ("This is an array");
// do stuff where an array is needed

I want to check the file extension from the string using regular expression in action script.
View 1 RepliesSay I start at a leaf node, and I traverse up the tree by using .parent(). I need an exit condition once it hits root. At the moment, I'm using parent.@name != "root", where name is just an attribute, but shouldn't I be able to check the type of element as well? How? Also, is there another way to end the traversal in as3?

I'm basically having the following error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Array. In relation to the event listener that calls 'Backdrop'. Backdrop is a public function in another class, but it does still recognise Backdrop as a function.
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

In most browsers, when you have one in focus and you type something, the combobox will try to find the value within its options and show the closest one. I was wondering what kind of algorithm is used for that.I don't think its Levenshtein or similar since it only works with the beginning of the string.I'm thinking that it works by keeping a buffer of what has been written, and tries to find a string starting with that... if it doesn't find anything, it clears the buffer, and searches a string beginning with the last character pressed.I already prototyped this, and it works quite ok, with one caveat... In HTML, when you repeatedly press the same key, it will rotate between all options starting with that character.
View 4 RepliesI have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
I have this array:

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
I've written the following method (in actionscript 3, it's a flash application) which returns what transformation type is required for the current mouse position in relation to a given element position.
An element can be moved, scaled and rotated. This method returns if any of these transformations are applicable with the given coordinates[code]...
at some point in the past, i believe soon after i got Flash CS5 and installed it, i started receiving the following error when clicking the "Check Syntax" button:
Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.
what's particularly annoying is that playerglobal.swc file is present in that FP9 directory. do i need to choose some arbitrary setting somewhere so Flash CS5 knows it's not 2008 and that i'm not deploying on Flash Player 9?
I'm having a problem checking the position of elements in an array.. for example if I have an array as follows :-I have drawn the number 68 (I always exclude the number drawn). I am checking this array of numbers to see if any exist in the same 'row'Say I have already drawn 61,62 and 63. I don't want this to 'return as true' when I check the array because yes the numbers exist but there is a gap (the numbers arSo I would like to accept if I had 68, 69, 70 because they are sequential from 68 but if I also have 72 I don't wish to accept that number.
View 19 RepliesIs there a way of checking all the strings in an Array in one time ex:
Code: Select allvar array:Array = new Array("string1","string2","...")
if(text_field.text == array[everything]){
doSomething()
}
I already tried "for(var i:Number = 0; i<=array.length; i++){ ..." it just doesn't work well enough enough.
How would I go about checking the length of a sub array? If I have a code like this:
ActionScript Code:
a = [["a0","a1", "a2", "a3","a4","a5"],
["a0","a1"]];
and I wanted to check the length of the second subarray (the answer would be 2) what would the syntax be?
Edit: the title should obviously be Multidimentional.
how can I check the content of an array with a switch statement?
Code:
var array :Array =[0,0];
switch (array) {

I am doing a flash game with Actionscript 2.0 and have encountered a problem.

i need to split a large text file into an array at line breaks so one array element = one line.i have tried the using "" in both match() and in RegExp but it doesnt work.i had the g and m flags on. tried the $ sign too.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to check through an array to see if any of my movie clips are currently on frame 15, before taking giant leaps I was trying to just get it to work with one var in the array before all of them, for some reason this code is not working, the trace is not coming up.
Code:
stop();
var anybtn:Array = [btn1_mc, btn2_mc];
trace(anybtn[1]);
btn1.onPress = function(){
if(anybtn[1]._currentframe == 15){
trace ("Array Check Working"); .....
If someone would like to go a step further and show me how to check through all movie clips. There will be many more than btn1_mc and btn2_mc so I will definitely need to use an array.
I have an array that has its values dynamically changed as a user interacts with buttons. I need to constantly check 6 index values from this array against each other so that if they are the same value they count as 1 but if they are unique they also count as 1.
E.g. IF all 6 index points = "A" I get 1 returned
If 3 of the index points = "A"
2 index points = "B"
1 index point = "C"
I get 3 returned to me
So I'm looking for a way to get a number returned to me ranging from 1-6 depending on the values.
I have this Array

var shoprubriken:Array = new Array();

Now I wanted to check on which Index Position maybe the 47 is
How can I archive this on a Button or Function?
I have an array. I have a button, when I press on it I want to be able to loop through every item in the array and see if EVERY item is equal to true, if so I want something to happen.
var allIsTrue = false;
_global.myArray = [false, true, false, true, false, true, false, false, false, false, false, false, false,false,false,true]
///would not do something
[Code].....
I thought I could loop through each one and if a false statement if found, the loop stops and the variable allIsTrue = false. But if the loop cycles all the way through allIsTrue = true.
I know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.
var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];
trace(myArray[0]);
trace(myArray[0], ?,?);

Now if i want to access febTarget for cash how will i do it?
How can add element to array in ActionScript3
If i have an array: var myArray:Array;
How can add element to this array "myArray", something like this:
