I have a big array which contains words and sentences. I want to find certain specific words to replace with other words. I know about the string replace(), but from what I can understand, that only works with strings. I'm looking for something similar to the str_replace function in PHP where you can search both arrays and strings, and change words in them. Does something like that exist in actionscript 3, or do I have to build some kind of loop myself, to loop through the entire array, and use the string repace() on every single string in the array?
I want to prevent users from using webcam emulators, I have done that in AS2 by using senocular's function, but I can't make it work in AS3,so, here is the old version by senocular , and I would like to do the same in AS3, tried using indexOf but doesn't work, I need to find at least the first 4 characters of the string and compare them to the item inside the array in AS3![code]...
Following code removes duplicates from an array. But the problem is, it modifies the original array. Can we create a new array which does not have duplicates and keep the original array intact?
i am tring to check the values imn my array but for some reason the hit is never trace. So is the value o0f cat not found in the array. if not what do i do to find the value cat
ActionScript Code: var numbers_array = new Array("cat"); for( i =0; i < numbers_array.length; i++){
I have an array of objects, I separately have a reference to one of the objects in this array (in particular, the object dispatched an event and its reference is the event target, which is what I have). How do I find this object in the array and remove it from the array?
So if the value of myVar = 50;..and the array holds the values 25, 100, 150, etc.I want to write a function that will be able to find the array element that's closest to myVar, which would be the first element in the array (myArray[0]), since 25 would be the closest value to 50.
way to find the highest number in an array? umbersArr(314,2613,221,103,77);is there a way to loop though this, compare all the numbers to each other and find the highest value while keeping the array in order?
Is it possible to call a function to tell me if a var string is in my array. And if so, what position it is in?I pictured it to look something a little like this:
Code: var pages:Array=['index','services','about','testimonials','contact']; var pageName:String; pageName="services";
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.
in my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)
If I have an array like: Code: var newArray:Array = ["a","r","r","a","y"]; how can I loop through it so that if I were to make a typer effect it would find the middle letter of the array, and then added the letters to the right then left of the middle letter one after another until the entire array is typed out?
I'm working on a project where I have an array of coordinate points (4 of them) and a menu system that, when clicked, rearranges the boxes so that they all move around. The problem is that the values I pull out of the array are not always unique so some of the items end up not moving (or sometimes it ends up moving two to the same spot because the last one didn't move and one of them moved to a spot that is already occupied).
Here is the code I was using which for the most part works, except as mentioned, sometimes the check for the last one in the loop sees that the conditional is not equal so it doesn't do anything because there is no other values to loop through and it just leaves it in that spot.
Code: private function checkCoordinates($item:MenuItem, $coords:Array):Void { var numItems:Number = $coords.length;
But of course, "this" doesn't work, so I need to find out what number "this" is
Of course, it would be easy to remove the MC that I am checking "this" for distance with, it would just be splicing array[a], but it's "this" that I am just not sure how to splice.
given an arrayA = [a, b, c] and arrayB = [a1,a2,a3]
by using array[0].name, it will return "a", is there any function that i can get the number "0" when i do something to "a" ?
I hope i make it clear here Xp
because i have 2 array here, i wanted to do something when the position of an element in an arrayA is same as the position of another element in arrayB.
for example trace(array[0].name); -> output = A trace(array[0].?????); -> output = 0
After chatting with my coworkers, they have suggested I enumerate this into a large array of indexed values with references to which index they are associated with, for instance [code]...
i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers: a[1] = 4 a[2] = 3 a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?
I'm trying to build a function that finds max-value in array of numbers and returns index position of the value (in AS.3.0)I already have this.....but it is not helping me finding the index number.[code]
I'm stuck on this tutorial trying to learn how arrays functions. My task is to declare a variable, write an array, loop through the array and output the match in a textfield already created on stage. This code does that, but it gives me the match in number, instead of writing the name I get the number from the array, 2. How can I get the textfield to display the name Stian?
var bestevenn:String = 'Stian' var mineVenner:Array= new Array();mineVenner[0]='Janne';mineVenner[1]='Liv';mineVenner[2]='Stian';mineVenner[3]='Henri
I need to know the best method to find an item inside a list (Vector, Array, Dictionary, whatever is faster) of complex type (extensions of Objects and Sprites).I've used "Needle in Haystack" method, but it seems that it isn't fast enough.
E.g.Suppose that I have a collection of Sprites (a pool, in fact).Each sprite will be added to the stage and perform some action. After that, it will die.I don't want to pay the cost to dispose it (garbage collect) and create another (new) one every time so I'll keep the dead sprites in a collection.
Sometimes times I'll call a method that will add a sprite to the stage.This sprite can be a old one, if it is already dead, or a new one, if the pool don't have any free sprite.
One of the scenarios that pushed me to this question was a Particle System.A "head" particle leaving a "trail" of particles every frame and exploding into a flashy multitude of particles... Every frame...Some times this counts up to 50.000 PNGs with motion, rotation, alpha, event dispatching, scale, etc...But, this is JUST ONE scenario...At the moment I'm trying to use a Object Pool with a Linked List...Hopes that it will be faster that running a whole Array/Vector or create new instances every frame an let them dye with Garbage Collection.
