ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Mini Map Which I Can Populate With The Contents Of An Array?
Jan 2, 2010
Currently 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.
I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D). So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful. I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers
I would like to create a panning tool similar to the attached. I looking for something very simple, I would like to be able to scroll the large image from left to right using a smaller inset browser.
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.
I am getting return type as array from PHP. When I populate in my datagrid, the values are not coming... var appSes:Array = event.result as Array dg.dataProvider = appSes;
I am getting the values, from PHP is there anything other than this i have to do. <local:CheckBoxDataGrid id="dg" allowMultipleSelection="true" x="118" y="142" width="507"> <local:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="firstName" headerText=" " width="20" sortable="false" itemRenderer="CheckBoxRenderer" > [Code] .....
I'm currently working on a project where I have a user defined list of urls which is saved in a local SO. When the movie is loaded the ComboBox is populated with the values from the SO (Stored as array inside SO).I want to give users the option to remove items from this list. So far I have managed to remove the selected item from the combo box, clear out the SO and loop the remaining ComboBox items, but, when I try and load these item into an array to parse back to the SO, the array is created and creates the correct amount of elements, but, each element is populated with only the data from the 0 index item of the ComboBox.My code so far: (This sits inside a button component and is invoked onClick)
Below is a method to populate a vector with a list of strings
PHP Code:[code]....
However, I have an existing array that contains a list of strings.How would I transfer those contents within the array into the vector?The basic way I can think of is using a for loop, and push the values in.
I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.
I want to be able to populate the tool tip array for a HSlider via a web service.Below is my code and all I'm doing here is populating anotherArray in the init() function from the arrayValues array just to test that much.However when I launch the application anotherArray contains only "null" and not the rest of the data.
I'm trying to populate a fl.controls.ComboBox dataProvider with this array. What I want to do is set the labelfield, as shown in the documentation:
[Code]...
In other words I want the name to be displayed, and the 'data' to be the code, which will be called when I click on the item. But the labelField is not the same as "French". How do I create the two fields in the array such that I can designate the first as labelField and the second as data?
i have a big issue in AS2. I would like to populate an array on mouse click and show immediately this element on the stage.
It's possible to make something like this. Every click on a specific object on the stage, loads into the array a library movieclip. If the array is not empty I would like to show each movieclip in a column each one below the other.
I'm trying to populate an array with info loaded in from an xml file. I've got the xml loading fine and I can trace everything but cannot seem to access the info outside of the function...here's my code:
My trace inside of the populateNav function works great...all the info is there and image_path returns all of my...image paths. So my XML is fine...what I can't seem to do is pass that info outside of the populateNav function. My imageholder trace returns undefined. I think it's got something to do with the fact that the imageholder trace is being performed before the xml is fully loaded...not sure what to do about that though.

I have an XML feed coming into my application. What i would like to have happen is the for loop that adds an index number to each item in the feed, also create a text box for the description and title and then assign the item text to those text areas
var il:XMLList=xml.channel.item; for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++){ var mySumm:TextField = new TextField();
how to take an XML element, bring it into a class (CLASS IP3D), and then inherit that value from IP3D into my main class (Full3D) as a string.So far I have figured out how to create the IP3D class -- but I cannot figure out how to then use inheritance in AS3 to create a string in Full3D and populate it with with IP3D's xml value (Specifically String ip where its value in class IP3D (more specifically function: processXML) is equal to myXML.IP[0].
I would like to be able to dynamically populate a dynamictext field (assuming that's the best component to use) with anarray of data from PHP.I have attached my PHP code and my Flash Code.The PHP code is working fine and generating the array.The first part of the AS code is working as I can see thepop-up window with the PHP array in it. However, I can't figure outhow to get the array to display in the dynamic text box.I have created a dynamic text box in flash with nothing inthe 'instance name' box and 'events' in the var box.
I am creating an app using CS4 flash. I have it calling an asp containing xml with from 1 to 30 records. The xml example at the bottom has 3 records.I was hoping someone would be able to tell me the code needed for my swf to check how many records there are and generate that many "pages" from a page template, with the data dynamically entered into text boxes on each generated page.I have included the method i am using to call the xml.[code]
I have a detailed results page to which I want to post all the questions, answers, and whether the user answered correctly or incorrectly. All this information is stored in a multidimensional array and its successfully showing the results via the trace method.
My question is, what is the syntax for populating a dynamic text field with these results? Do I just write out one long line of AS with the newline command to separate the data? How would I go about applying bold to certain parts of the stored data that I will be showing?
Here is current code for my detailed results page:
function showResults(){ trace("Now showing results"); for(var i:Number = 0; i < NumberOfChallenges; i++){ //This calls the length of the original array (not the spliced copy)
I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.
I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.
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]);
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();
[Code].....
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.
