how can I convert String to Array(Instance Name)?The code below works fine.
Code:
var gridArray:Array = new Array(sq1_btn,sq2_btn);
gridArray[0].visible=false;
[code].....
I'm slowly climbing the AS3 learning curve, I had a query about converting data stored in an Array:
My flash file contains six movieClips arranged into a grid, each movieClip is named with an instance name, increasing sequentially like so:grid1, grid2, grid3 ... etc
What I'm trying to achieve is to have one of the grid items randomly selected to play a contained animation every 2 seconds.[code]...
i have several button that should navigate to frames in my movie. the button have the same name as the frame's labels i need to convert the buttons' instance names to strings
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
this.Label1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN ,gotoLabel);
function gotoLabel(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop('label1AsString');
}
I have a Flash poetry project in which I have 49 separate dynamic text boxes on stage. Each has a separate instance name - "cell_1", "cell_2", "cell_3" etc. I use the following code to store instance names in an array -
var j:int;
for (j = 1; j < 50; j++) {
instances.push("cell_"+j)
[code].....
Is there a simple way to convert an instance variable to a String?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to turn an string into an instance name.
stage.focus = ["box_"+[i+1]];
this gives me back = box_2;
but I need it to be an object not a string.
In as2 I could use eval. How do I do it in as3?
so here's my problem. I've got an array (wall_inst[]) containing instance names of 3 objects (for now), however they are stored as text strings. I've got a moving 'ball' object too. The problem is, the values contained in the array are text strings and will not behave as instance names, when I try to get object properties off them etc. Eg, I can do this:

I have multiple buttons, I would like, when the user presses a button, the name of that button is displayed as text on another frame.[code]
View 14 RepliesI have the following string: "2,26,17,33,6,14,9,29,1"
And an array of int, usedIds.If I do:
private var usedIds:Array;usedIds = "2,26,17,33,6,14,9,29,1".split(',');
I get an array of strings. How can I do it to get an array of int?
I have an old project where there is Variable that holds a string and I want to convert it to Array When I trace this variable (myVar) it shows this string
[Code]...
Something like in loop var myArr:Array = push(myVar[i]) I think can split it. But can't find the right string where I can split and create Array
is it possible to convert a string to an array? for example...
ActionScript Code:
var theString:String = "[{name: Freddy, score: 235}, {name: Quick, score: 987674}]";
var array:Array = ts;
trace((array[0] as Object).name);
// obviously this code doesnt work but i was thinking something along these lines...
Is there a nifty function that will convert a String to an Array in AS(1 or 2)?
Something like:
myString = "1, 2, 4, 3";
myArray = myString;
And then myArray ends up like:
myArray = [1, 2, 4, 3];
Im trying to add the content of a loaded textfile into an array, that's why.
When importing a variable from an external .txt file, I know that it will not properly import an array. I rember seeing a way to convert the string to an array, but I can't find it. Does anyone know the code?
I have used the search button to attempt to find the answer, however that proved fruitless. I know i have seen it somewhere around here, but I just can't find it again.
P.S. Does anyone know if you can import a .txt file from the net if it is imported into a .exe file running on a computer? The computer would have a connection to the internet at the time. would I just put an absolute path into the file parameter? Like: [URL]
is anyone know how to convert array to string??
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to convert a string to an array where the string is the syntax for the array? Something like this:
Code:
var txt:String = "[1,2,3]";
var a:Array = txt as Array;
trace(a.length);
//would trace 3

I'm trying to use one .as file to provide the code for a image gallery that will load different image sets for each web page. I'm using SWFObject to load the .swf and passing it FlashVars like this:

var flashvars = {};
flashvars.projectSet = "thrivent";

is it possible to do this? And if so how? the xml is converted to an Object using XLEFF; there are five nodes en the specified path: var path:String = "mCb.mXMLloaderObj.dm.lang[0].menu[0].node.length"; trace(path) this will offcourse output just the path as a string. But I want to trace something like: trace(Object(path)); and hopefully get the number 5, which represents how many nodes there are in the specified path in the Object. Is this possibly? Because I can't find anyway to do this
View 6 RepliesIs there any built in functionality to convert an ArrayCollection to a jagged string array? I have an Arraycollection of objectproxies that I get from a SOAP webservice (asp.net datatable) that I modify and want to send back.
View 1 RepliesThere's an array, lets called it arr1. There is a switch, that pushes argument to this array, but after the switch ends, I'm stuck at join("").split("");
var arr1 = [];
switch (myString) {
case "apple": {
arr1.push("apple");
break;
}}}
arr1 = arr1.join("").split("");
I know is simple, but I never had experience with arrays in flash before, I just realized join("") was used to convert the Array to string, but isn't split reversing this?
I needed to convert a string representing an array , like :
Code:
var a:String = "[u,[[a,b],[l,m,r,a,f,g,h],[u]],[c,q],d]"
into a real Array, so I started looking in forums, but I couldn't find it, so I wrote my own

I'm just trying to make a utility function to convert an array collection into a string.
Supose my item within the array collection (named 'ac') is something like:
Code:
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{property:'foo'},{property:'bar'}]);
I can get the items property if I use a 'for' loop like:
Code:
var acToStr:String = "";
for (var item in ac)
{

I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?
I am looking for a way to check if any sting of the Array is matched to the string that in the TextField. In the code it should be something like that:

I have 40 movieclips, with the instance names p[1-40] (for example, p14 or p32). I want them all to do something in order, so I'm using a 'for' loop. In simplified psuedo-code, it looks like:
