How could I create a function that returns an array of attribute values.like
ActionScript Code:
//this is my main class
var _XMLPicQuery= new XmlQuery("gallery.xml");[code]......
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop(); //deck = array of Card
}
Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....
In the following XML doc my attempt at retrieving the title attribute returns undefined, what have I missed?

I was wondering if I can create an array of created Classes. I have a feeling that I cannot, and that you can only create an array of values, not objects.

I am currently trying to create a piece of code that will retrieve values from a 2D array and use them as x and y values to position instances of a MovieClip called mcMain. The code for the array will look something like this...
Code:
var lvlMain:Array = new Array();
lvlMain.push(new Array());
var xAxis:Array = new Array([150,400,200,300,100]);
[Code]....
how to create a piece of code that would retrieve the x and y coordinates listed in the arrays and use them to create instances of mcMain. So going from the code above it would create the first instance at x=150 and y=100, second instance........fifth instance at x=100 and y=500.
I'm making a portfolio, it has a large amount of images, one by work, (maybe there are 25) and they are put in a horizontal band, the images all have the same height, but not he same width, and they load an external MC of each work.So I want to create an array storing all this values, _width, and MC to load.
Secondly I have a frame like a stroke of the picture, the frame is in the center of the band of images, and there are two arrows, one to move on the band to the left, and other to the right. The thing is that when I push the arrow the band must move 15 px on left or right, and te frame must adapt (with easing) to the _width of the image.And one more thing, there will be many many images in a future, so I would like that a user if it's holding the left or the right arrow for a medium/long time it could make the band of images to go faster from one to another. I think it's so simple of changing the speed of the movement, what I don`t kwow is how to know if the button is pressed for a long-meidum time.
does anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.
I have this XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

What shoud I write instead of "<stuff_to_change>" to get flash to trace "Jonny James", or "Good, unique racing skills"?
I'm just trying to make a sprite follow the last letter of a TextField with the getCharBoundaries() function. It works fine when the DisplayObject that contains the TextField has no 3d transformations on it. But when I rotate it in 3D, returned values are wrong and it doesn't work anymore.I don't know anything about the matrix objects and all those transformation functions but I guess there is a way to get the correct value by using one of those matrices.I tried to use some matrices and played with some of their values but didn't get any luck.
View 1 RepliesHow to find the attribute values ("0_0_0_1" ) in the following xml example.Example:

I'm trying to match some events on stage to certain info from an XML doc.
For example, I have a movie clip instance named "id1234". In my XML, the attribute value for that particular node is also id1234.
So when I click on that mc, it's suppose to pull the XML data associated with id1234 from XML.
Is there anyway I can compare the current target value (that is whatever my mouse clicked) and search for the proper attribute in XML dynamically?
var _current:String = e.currentTarget.name;
if (_current == ANY OF THESE XML ATTRIBUTE VALUES) {
PULL THE CONTENT FROM THAT NODE;
} else {
Do something else;
}
The thing for me is making this process dynamic.
I'm doing some calculation with numbers and would like to only print an integer (the number without the decimals).I thought that the toFixed() method of the Number class would do the trick, and it does most of the time. But quite frequently strange values are returned. Here are 2 examples:
Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns
"0." while
Number(1.002).toFixed(0) returns
"1" (without the period)
Once in a while, Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns "1"
Needless to say that's not the expected behaviour. Am I not using this method correctly?
*edit: I know I just have to do int(0.002) to get 0 but I'd like to understand that strange behaviour.
Is there a way to parse a single XML attribute into an array?
Something like
<images>
<image index="0,1,2"></image>
</images>
and somehow parse it into an array like
indexArray[0]=0, indexArray[1]=1, indexArray[2]=2?

I have a flex app where I need to be able to access and modify component attributes using variable names.
eg, say I want to edit the text attributes of text label.
I am not sure what object or attribute will need to be updated until runtime.
Say I get passed the following variables:
var objId:String = "label1";
var objAtt:String = "text";
var objVal:String = "Hello World";
I need to take these and update the "text" property of label that has the ID "label1" to "Hello World".
I have tried different variations to accomplish this but am stuck One example is
this[objId][objAtt] = objVal;
I'm having hard time reaching the right nodes here. The XML structure is like this:
HTML Code:
<map>
<y>
<rs>
[Code]....
I'm trying to return a list of names for countries that contain company nodes with t value of f, so here are some of my attempts. None of them work.
Code:
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").i.@t == "f").@n
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").(i.@t == "f")).@n
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").i.(@t == "f")).@n
The problem is that the selector either returns too many or too few nodes.
I'm using a custom component CheckBoxList DataGrid (http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/02/checkbox_selection_in_datagrid.html) and as dataProvider I have an ArrayCollection with items such this one:

I would like the CheckBox list updated when the selected attribute is set to false or true in the data model.
I have an xml with an xml-schema. The xml-schema defines an abstract complex type with 2 optional attributes that have default values. Then I have several complex types that extend the base one. And finally nodes of the types defined.So I load the xml and when I parse each node, the optional attributes are not present at all.I've tried fooling around with the namespaces, even[code]...
No luck. Something similar was being experienced by this guy on codingforums, but that was like 5 years ago. Same is happening to me with firefox 3.0.11 - the xml is shown without the default attributes.For now I'm setting the default values in code, but isn't there a way to make them available from the xml-schema?[code]...
Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...
here is the thing i want:::
I have array values like this,,
array1 = [23, 49, 40, 239, 20, 80, 39,49,120, 24, 31,41];
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....

I have an array
Code:
var myArray = new Array("James", "Doug", "Alex", "Katie");
Now, based on a text input I'll have, the user will type his/her name. Let's say thew value will be "Alex". How can the variable "Alex" returns me the number 3? I'm trying to make a movie clip jump to an specific frame based on what the user will type. Doable?
On the timeline, I set up an array with 'section' names. When the mouse is clicked, a listener traces the section name to output.
Code:
var pageName:Array = new Array();
pageName [0] = "newsHolder";
pageName [1] = "aboutHolder";
pageName [2] = "reelHolder";
pageName [3] = "printHolder";

That works fine. But I also have a button on the stage:
Code:
on (release) {
trace ("testing "+pageName [0]);
}
But this returns "testing undefined".
What is the ActionScript 3 function that returns the type of a variable ?
I remember that there is one but I can't remember it nor can I find any reference of it.
I've got an object inside an object. The child object basically loads a variable from SQL into one of it's own public variables. The SQL works 100%, because it traces out correctly.Now I've wrote a function from the child.as
Code:
public get_var() : String
{
return var_yes_friggin_work;[code].....;
Of course the files arn't called Parent.as and Child.as I've just had to rename them because our work is monitored though checking the internet and I can't delete this form.The FilePathOriginal doesn't output anything unless the string is manually set from the child, does anyone know where I'm going wrong here? (I can't upload all my code because of the monoriting process)
I want ask u how can i create hitTest function that when two mcs from movieC array hits eachother they can change their colour. Both of them.
