what's a simple way to combine arrays with as3? by combine, i mean that contents of one array are pushed into another array.I already tried a for loop and push.
View 6 Replieswhat im thinking is each mc loaded is pushed into the array then on the press of a button or keyboard press the array is cleared and the movieclips that were inside the array are removed from the stage. trouble is i dont know how to write that. some guidance would be great.

I'm calling a flash file into the VB application. I'm also executing some code when user clicks on the SWF file.
Pushing a value into an Array is part of the code. What is happening is that.....when i trace the value of the Array, it shows duplicate values.
like if i'm pushing string "A" into the Array......when i trace the array it shows the array as [A,A] with length 2.
ActionScript Code:
if((second_mouse).hitTest(First_random_box))
{
Mouse_Team_One = ID;

I successfully loaded 8 objects and pushed them into an array. The problem is that if I want to have the same object in 2 places, it deletes the old one to make a new. Ex:
I am looping through an 9x9 grid btw and goto a MySQL database to find what tile needs to be placed where.
ActionScript Code:
function onResult(responds:Object):void
{
var dbArray:Array = responds.serverInfo.initialData;
[Code].....
It will load fine but once I hit a tile that was already used, it moves it to the new square.
I must be missing something small, but it sure makes a difference. My array contains five states each with an abbreviation (abr, such as "NJ", "NY") and either enabled or disabled (hot, either "true" or "false"). When I do a trace within the function itself, it brings back an accurate array.length. But, after this function, I can't recall the data at all! Its as if it only exists during the load function.
StateArray = new Array();
XMLRetrieve = new XML();
XMLRetrieve.ignoreWhite = true;
XMLRetrieve.load("states.xml");
XMLRetrieve.onLoad = function() {
[Code] .....
I'm trying to figure out how to find the exact location of an XML item after I pushed it to an array... I'm using this to find the item with the "fotoNR" number:

But how do I find that by code? Basically, I need to know how many items go from the beggining till the finded one!

i have two arrays of DesplayObjects and i want to add all the objects in the second array to the end of the first array, i knew that i just can just do a loop and puch em into the array, but i wondered if there was a simple function for doing this?

i have a series of radio buttons that when clicked, an array is pushed to store a value. i would like this value to be spliced from the array with the help of a variable if the person unchecks the checkbox, but all i've been able to come up with is splicing the first value out regardless of which button is unchecked.
Code: Select allmyArray=new Array
if (myArray.length>0){

I have a javascript array and a function on my html page, and I need actionscript to be able to pick the right one from the array and run the function based on what button I pushed. My javascript is:

I'm a little lost on the AS part of it, what would be the best way to have the each different button run it's respective part in the JS array/function?
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'm trying to get this code to work dynamically:
ActionScript Code:
var imageArray:Array = String(imageArray0).split(",");
filePre.preload(imageArray);
I have a variable, _global.buildingNumber that I want to show up after imageArray so Flash loads the desired array.
This doesn't work:
ActionScript Code:
var imageArray:Array = String(imageArray+_global.buildingNumber).split(",");
filePre.preload(imageArray);
I'm trying to compare two array variables and combine if they do. This is what I have in mind: (it's inside a "for")
Code:
var people:String;
if (arr[i + 1][0]==arr[i][0]){
people = arr[i + 1][6]+", "+arr[i][6];
[code]....
The "i + 1" obviously do not work.
Long story short: I want to search a multidimensional array in AS3 for (in this example) the location of 6 strings - all of which are stored in another unrelared array. Long story long: Once I get the locations (in the multidimensional array) of each string, i then know where it's located, and can access other atributes of that object - so if i found the string "box3" is located in element [5] of my multidimensional array, i can now target: multiArray[5][3] to return the 4th item stored (keeping in mind we're starting from 0, so 3 is the 4th position).
I can get this to work once, but I'm trying to set up a for loop based on the length of my basic string storage array - this array holds (in this example) 6 instance name strings - each time my for loop loops, i need to run a search in my multdimensional array for the next consecutive instance name. Then, once I've located all of them (and store the results in a new temporary array) I can dig around in each location for the info I need.

I have an xml say in following format[code]...
What I should do is parse an xml and from its node name create object property and then create an object array based on those property.
Is it possible to to loop contents in an Array? Something like this?
for (var s:Number = 1; s<21; s++) {
var me = ["tfNm"+(s)];
var mcB = ["_root.gmb_mc."+me+".tf"];
var mcC = ["_root.gmbb_mc."+me+".tf"];
//trace (mcB)
var mcA:Array = [mcB, mcC, _root.F5];
/////
}
What is the best way to clear the contents out of an array or to reset an array?
Say I have 3 arrays that get populated throughout a specific time. I want to be able to reset or clear out all of the data in the array so it is basically a new Array();
I have an array that holds some other arrays and I want to return just the name of the arrays that it holds, not their contents. In this example I want to trace the string "myDays_ar" but can only get the contents.
[AS]
var myDays_ar:Array = ["Sat", "Sun", "Wed"];
var myMonths_ar:Array = ["January", "July"];
var my_ar:Array = [myDays_ar, myMonths_ar];
trace(my_ar[0]);
[Code]...
I seem to be having trouble reversing the contents of an array
this is the code:
Code:
stop();
// Attributes arrays
var nd:Array = new Array();

i've tried changing the 'for' loops for both the 'n' and 'i' variables to decrement them and also tried idnum.reverse(); but i can;t get it to work.
It's a news page so i'm basically trying to get the newest story(which is attached to the highest id number in the databse) to post first and then post the rest in descending order.
just wanted to share this, some months ago i was looking all over the web for an array content randomizer and found none, yesterday i was reading a book about AS3 and after finishing the arrays chapters tough of this:

I am trying to trace out the contents of an array, my code is this.

var shortArray:Array = shuffle[newNumber,35];

Right now I have an array with a bunch of different file and folder names in it. I want to separate the files and folders in to two separate arrays. How would I check the arrays to see if the elements have a "." in them, and then if they do have a "." in them, put them into files array.
View 3 RepliesI'm pretty new to AS3, using Flash (CS3) to build applications for my university degree. In my movie I've got an array (completionArray) with 7 values, which are set to all be "false". What I'd like to be able to do is use the contents of this array to switch GUI elements on and off.As an example, I've got a movie clip called cowItem on the stage. I'd like to use the first value in the array to set the .visible property of that movie clip, but I can't for the life of me work out how to get it to work.[code]Like I say, I'm new to AS3 and haven't tried using variables as part of a property before, and I also have a similar problem using variable values as part of a method call.
View 3 RepliesI have a static menu populated by XML. "menuTitles" and "menuLinks" are both arrays populated with the contents of an XML file. Everything works except the onRelease command. I get "undefined" instead of the contents of the array element.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm performing the following operation many times (sniped of code below). I'm creating a two dimension array whose overall size depends on each iteration the process takes.
myArray = new Array(); // initialize the array
myArray[0] = new Array(); // add new array to first index
myArray[1] = new Array(); // add new array to second index
Question is: When I need to recreate this sequence again, do I just perform the same operation (repeat the same 3-lines)? Or is there a way of freeing up resource first.
I have an Array with several Items (between 10-15)Now i wanted to give out these Items in Textfields dynamically.
View 2 RepliesCurrently I am trying to create a mini map which i can populate with the contents of an array.I can make any size grid with little to no trouble in AS3, for arguments sake I have been trying to get a 4x4 Grid populated.I can even make listeners inside the new class but i cannot figure out a way to give each new MiniMap tile a unique identifier like i would of in AS2 and then assign the current frame to play.I have looked around and tried a few tutorials with no success.I have been using this to create the tiles (inside two for loops to make the grid)
Code:
var MiniMap:MiniMapTile = new MiniMapTile();
addChild(MiniMap);
Here is how i did it in AS2 for anyone Interested.
Code:
_root.MapTile.duplicateMovieClip("Tile" add i, i);
Edit: I have done it the long way :/ made 12 separate objects. Incredibly convoluted.
Is there a way to push the contents of an array to a textfield with a line break in between them?
View 3 RepliesI have quite alots of display objects to manage during runtime, so Im currently using Arrays to manage them. But the problem is I have few many types of displays objects(eg. Tile, Npc and Building) which are basically MovieClips linked to the library. Each display object plays different role where it will be checked on enter frame, a loop.Method 2 sounds much more faster and extensible however Im worried if it would affect the checking rate of each display object during runtime as the displays:Array grow larger and probably making it glitchy.So which one of the following method is faster+less glitchy and explain why you choose it.[code]
