I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
If i have array like var my_Arr:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");and i have button to use random element of ths array , is there any to remove that element that if i press the button again i won't find the last element ?
View 5 RepliesI'm writing an application in Flex / ActionScript and have a number of class member variables of type Array storing data. My question is: what's the "best" way to clear out an Array object? I noticed the ArrayCollection class has a function removeAll() which does this, but the basic Array class does not. Some possibilities I've considered are:
Iterating through the array, calling pop or shift on each element
Setting the array length to 0
Setting the member variable to a "new Array()" or "[]"
I noe how can I remove all elements in an array? I got a quiz where it will store the questions which the user has answered wrongly in an array n when the user press the "try again" button, he will go back to the first question again. I want the array to b reset n restore the questions tat answer wrongly again
For instance:
tempArray = new Array();
tempArray.push(dom1);
I'm working with SWFAddress and I have a split function but its also adding empty elements to my array which I want to remove or stop been entered in the array.
Code:
var str : String = '/home/'
var split = str.split("/");
trace("split = "+split.length);
tracer.text = split;
output : ,home,
As you can see the split is coming back with 2 empty elements in the array.The string value could change depending on what the user enters into the url for deeplinking. It could be var str : String = 'home' and this returns the correct value but if the add a slash I need to make sure that is not registered in my array as an empty value. how I could stop these empty elements from showing in the array?
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
[code]I've marked two locations where this fails in the function pause(). I'm new to Flex/Actionscript/Flash. From what the error says, I assume that from the function, I cannot clea/remove the child loader, because it has a different parent. If I am correct with that, how do I know what the parent is?[code]

I have referred this for creating error message tool tips, to be displayed continuously unless the error is resolved by the user. :: [URL]
But, this is being applied to a pop-up window visualized as a pop-up form.
When the user clicks 'CANCEL' button, I want the error message tooltips if present to be cleared off from the screen. The message tool tips remains on the screen even if the CANCEL button is clicked.
Is there a way to write out an array without the that separates the elements in the array?
View 15 RepliesIf I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array
{
public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo
{
return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example)
}
}
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.
I'm using a spark combobox (which I really like). What I'd like to do is to allow users to delete elements from the cb list. To do this, I thought I'd add a delete button next to each cb element, by using a custom (and extremely simple) itemRenderer.

I have a big ArrayCollection variable. I want to filter it serveral times and each time assign the filtered result to a different ArrayCollection variable.
So if it has let's say people, fruits and cars. (for illustration purposes) I want to first filter it to only show people, assign the result to a people ArrayCollection, then filter it to show fruits and assign it to a fruits ArrayCollection and so on.
How can I do that? Not the filtering, but the assignment after filtering. Or is it faster to instead run a for-loop through the big ArrayCollection and just add each item into the corresponding smaller ArrayCollection?
I'm making a custom webbrower by Adobe Air.I would like to add a html filter function that disable javascript & iframe.If I can get html code before render, I would delete tag elements with regexp.I guess I can something with htmlloader when htmlloader's LocationChangeEvent dispatch.

Would anyone be kind enough to help me with some Actionscript code (2.0) that will automatically remove from dynamically imported html text. Basically an html page is updated by a client using a CMS system (CushyCMS) but it inserts.When the page reloads into the flash site the cause the text to break.So I would like something that either removes the or changes it to a single space that won't cause the line to break.

View 1 RepliesI've got an application that has several slides. Each slide has a sound file that goes with it. I created a function on the root timeline that plays the audio sound. Each slide loads one after another and works great. However I have next and previous buttons for each slide. Each button makes the sound channel stop. If I press something too quickly the sound in the sound channel isn't overwritten with the new sound.
So basically I want to know how to remove all sounds from the sound channel so I can load a fresh new sound. Because the stop command only stops the soundchannel until the next sound is loaded and then it starts playing the sound again. It seems like the sound channel is an array of sounds and I don't know how to clear the array before pushing a new sound to it.
I am using this code:
Code:
clearList_btn.onRelease = function() {
extTracks.clear();
};
But the array in the shared object still exists.
i have As code with functions on frame 1-6 i want on frame 7 to have a clear code that will remove all the functions from frame 6. I need only the AS code to be cleared on frame 6 no where else... so the functions that are there no longer work in the rest of the animation.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.
How do you empty an array. I want the array complete empty, so the array length =0. I have tried this code, but that doesn�t take away all elements in an array, just a few.
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
myArray.pop();
}
