Assume I have an array with references to different display objects on the stage. The display objects do not have any other explicit references except for the array indexes. How do I evaluate if a certain index of the array is a reference to a certain display object?Some code to clarify:
Assume:
objArr[1] = dispObj1;
objArr[2] = dispObj2;

So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

know if the index effect the scope of an object because I am creating a game and for some reason, I get an error like below
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at com.objects::EngineApi/loop()
[Code].....
updateObject is the loop for all my objects. I have one centralized loop and in that loop it calls on an array of objects that have been placed on the stage. all of them containing the method updateObject. to update the status of the object. addGameChild() is a encapsulated addChild() , that not only adds the object to the stage, but places it in a array so it's updateObject() method can be called on. it is also used to make it easier for garbage collection.
I have a set of buttons which trigger menu panels to tween up from below the screen. I want these menu panels to be displayed behind the buttons (which are displayed on the button edge of the screen). So I add the menus to the parent container, then I add the buttons, so that the menus would be behind the buttons and getChildIndex(buttons) = 1 and getChildIndex(menus) = 0.
The menus are correctly displayed behind the buttons when I comment out the tween code. But when I implement the tweens and start the tween of the menus, they do their motion tween but are displayed in front of the buttons instead of behind; somehow their display object index order got screwed up.from the Menu class:
Code:
this.tweenIn = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight, stageHeight - this.height, 2, true);
this.tweenOut = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight - this.height, stageHeight, 2, true);[code].....
I'm building a plugin and I'm using actionscript to save the selection of an object in an illustrator document and then reference it later.
var arrObj:Array=new Array();
arrObj.push(app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
If I select now the same object in the document and check if its in the array it returns a -1 for the index value.
var id:int=arrObj.indexOf(app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
trace (id); //-1
Why is the selection not considered the same object as in that of the array?
how do you find an object's index / position within an array in flash actionscript 3? I am trying to set a conditional up in a loop where, if an object's id is equal to the current_item variable, I can return its position within the array.

if I have done something like this:

I'm writing a multi-layered drawing app, and I want to be able to move the layers up and down. It's easy enough to change the objects in the display list and move the buttons, but in order for it to work continuously I need to be able to change the index of the button objects in the array so they are targeted properly by the function. Is there a way to do this in AS3?

I was just wondering whether it would be possible to remove an object from an array without referencing its index, for example when the index is unknown, or when you want to splice it from within the class itself, like ina die function for an enemy in an array.

// now I want to get the value for the last assignment

My thinking was that this frees up some memory similar to disposing a bitmapdata. Does this even do anything? Or, will arrays be cleared and the memory usage restored when the object is removeChilded?

I have four checkbox and store the value in the Array. So if check all the boxes than I have an Array which have value = 1,1,1,1
I want to compare that with a variable which has same value 1,1,1,1
If the both value is same than it will display correct feedback.

var correct_answer = "1,1,1,1"

View 2 RepliesI'm going to be building a site for a photographer and would like to be able to do something like the thumbnail navigation in this example: [URL] I'm assuming it's adding the thumbnails to the Display Object via an array based on an external XML file, and displaying them once their corresponding full-size images are loaded ... Perhaps it's building the nav simply by looking to see how many photos there are in a folder on the server (i.e. no discreet XML added for each shot). Not sure if this idea is even possible -- would like to hear from any of you if in fact it is.
