ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Out Which Item In An Array Was Hit And Using That Information?
Oct 17, 2011
am creating a drag and drop activity which utilizes arrays to populate my 'drag' and 'drop' components with their parameters.So far, I am able to get all the drags to work (with a little a few days ago from the boards showthread.php?t=825222) . My problem now is that I need to register which 'drop' is being hit so that I can update the variables for that drop. However, as the drops are in an array, any time I reference that array it uses the information from the third and final drop, even if drop one or two are hit.Here is my code:
PHP Code:
var usingDrop:Number;
//the vars below are specific to each drop and used to be declared in the drop array - i
I have an XML object in Flex4 that is populating a tree (amongst other things).
I need to be able to find the name of the selected item when it is clicked in the tree.
For example:
<Object id=""> <Image></Image> <Cycle></Cycle>
[Code]....
The tags are all predefnied by me so I will know what they are, but I need to be able to know if the item a user has selected is "Object" and do something, or if they select "Action" do something else.
What is the syntax to get the names of these in flex4 and compare them?
I am currently using the latest verion of Adobe Flash Builder to create a Mobile Application. For the application one feature is to allow the users to bookmark content an this is done by storing the id of the object to be Bookmarked into an SQLite db on the device. This part has been done successfully and they are stored fine.
Now what I want to do is to pull back the bookmarked id's from the database and pass them to a WebService call which needs to be made to an External Database. When I retrieve the Bookmark id's from the local database they are contained within object, I now need to find a way to take the id's from the database objects in the ArrayCollection and store them in a new array that will be passed to the WebService, as the webservice is expecting an Array of Int's and not Objects. Below is the code I created to see if the object items are within the array list of objects:
I understand that I can see the usage count of a Library item easily. I have been assigned a task to edit someone else's Flash movie (I have been provided .fla source).The movies is extremely complex and I need to replace some images. How can I find out on which layer/frame does a Library Item appear on a Flash movie??
I put my mc's in an array.I have another array with strings.when the mc is clicked I want to get its position in the mc array and return the string from the same position in the string array.How do I do that?
PHP Code: var numBtnArray:Array = new Array; function addNumButtonsToStage():void{
I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?
I've got an array, events, where I store objectdata, such asevents.id (String), events.action (String) and events.time (Number).In a for-loop, I want to go through the array and for each object I want to connect a Timer which runs the function "takeIt" which runs the public function "newEvent". The object in the array, events.id contains information about the object which is running newEvent, and in the array, events.action there are alse information which action to use. The events[i].time contains information about the timer delay which seems to work.How should I wite this to make it work?
Code: for (var i:int = 0; i < events.length; i++) { function takeIt(e:TimerEvent) {
I have this code to try to acess the values of the array in the arraycollection but it does not work it actually creates a value to the end of the arraycollection. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong i basically whant to modifys the individual arrays in the arraycollection and add Login_user.
This should be a simple one. I am running an IF statement that needs to check the 5th value in a pre-populated array. I'm finding it hard to find the right method of searching the array.
[Code]....
indexOf seems to just return where the value is...but I already know where it is! I just want to know WHAT it is! There will also be values that are exactly the same in other positions in the array. I have to focus in specifically on the 5th value.
I am wondering if Flash has a built in way of finding if a value in an array exists. IndexOf only works with string values, but I couldn't find any function that tries to find a value of any data type in an array.
If there isn't one, I will just end up using this:
Code: contains = function (array, input) { for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) { if (array[i] == input) { return 1; } } };
I am trying not to use my own functions for things that Flash already has built-in, so I just want to double check with you all in case I missed something
I am making an array and I would like for the array to gather the information from an input box inside the array. How would I get the so called array to add the information from name_txt? Actionscript Code: var word = new Array("Hello" + _root.name_txt,"How are you today?");
So my array has 5 numbers in it and also the ability to add more to it as the user sees fit.I want to be able to display the max and min number in the array. I made a loop but i am not sure how to make it select the highest or lowest number automatically without me selecting it manually by typing it in.This is my code for determining this:
// Determine Min and Max Markfunction maxandminMark(){var markIndex:int;markIndex=(marks.indexOf(marks));if (markIndex != -1){ for (var i = markIndex; i < marks.length; i++) marks[i] = marks[i+1]; trace(maxandminMark);}}}
How do I find number of all the series (combinations of an array that have at least 3 consecutive values, like [7,8,9]) and have the longest number of values?
from [3,4,1,2,2] it would be 2 - ([1,2,3,4] twice, but ignore [1,2,3]*2 and [2,3,4]*2) from [9,6,7,5,8] it would be 1 - ([5,6,7,8,9])
[Code]....
this will create an array ($ranks) that will have these values [2:2, 3:1, 4:1, 9:1]
from this I will be able to multiply the values under 2,3 ad4 4 and multiply them by 3, so I would get 2*1*1 * 3
how to find the consecutive values, and ignore ones that aren't (like the 9)
I'm trying to find a simple way to solve this problem: I have an array of integers and need to find the highest value that is unique.Specifically, my array holds player scores. Ex: (4,7,6,5,2,7)I need a function that will give me the highest score that it is not tied with another score. So for the example above, it would return 6 (not 7 since there are two 7's)
i was looking at the tutorial Finding Values in an Array here and was wondering if i could replace
Code: dataValues = [10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2];
with a string value thats is read from a text box eg,
Code: dataValues = [myStringValue];
. myStringValue holds
Code: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7"
and only finds it if i type in the full value, how do i get it to find each value seperatley after each comma? Everytime i try that it doesnt work correctly.
I have an array with about 80 variables in it and everything is working fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to produce a variable name from the array. Example: I sort my array to get the highest value, then I cannot retrieve the actual name of the variable that holds the value.
[Code]...
I looked into "toString" and toLocaleString but they also gives me the number value.
what to do in order to find the number of sequences in an array? for example: my array is: banana, banana, apple, banana, banana. what shell i do in order to get the numbers: 2,1,2? (2 bananas, 1 apple, 2 bananas).
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'm just trying to find the size of a array I created. I know how to find the size of the swf and movieclips with getBytesTotal but that doesn't seem to work for arrays. anyone know of a method to find this or some built in function. I searched google and other search engines but only find the getBytesTotal command for use with MCs.
am developing an application which requires a consecutive searching side to it. Basically, I need a function or a class which takes an array as the parameter, and return the possible 3 consecutive numbers in a 2 dimensional array.For example, if I have this code:
ActionScript Code: //Global array var glob:Array=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
I'm currently writing a feature for an interactive periodic table which dynamically displays the name of the element and other properties when you hover over the element. I have thought of three ways to do this and I am wondering which is the best, memory-wise and speed-wise, for loading this information.
make a class with an array ( new Array("hydrogen", "helium", "lithium",...etc.)), instantiating it, then accessing the info with object.arr[i] make a class with a static array (otherwise, same as no.1), importing it, then accessing the info with class.arr[i] put the information into an external xml file and accessing it from there. The 3rd method seems excessive as you have to go through the hassle of adding event listeners for URLloader every time. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd way? (What is happening in terms of memory when you are importing a class - is the entire array added to memory?)
I have 3 arrays, each containing a random number of elements.
Lets say: array1(), array2(), array3()
I want to display information from 6 array elements on my stage, ideally 2 elements from each array. However, as the arrays may contain more or less than 2 elements, if an array has < 2, I'd like to make up for it if the other arrays have > 2 by showing extra from those arrays instead. As evenly as possible. I'd like to know at the end how many elements of each array to add to the stage (Maximum of 6 altogether).i.e.If we say array1.length() is 3, array2.length() is 1, and array3.length() is 1 - then I'd like it to display 3 from array1, and 1 from the other two arrays.If we say array1.length() is 0, array2.length() is 4, and array3.length() is 5 - then I'd like it to display 3 from each of array2, and array3.So as to get 6 wherever possible, and spread them out evenly wherever possible.
I am currently working on a tile based game in Flash, so im working with a two dimensional Array containing the data for the map the player can jump around in. The script is already able to find all the groups within the Array. In the following example Array it groups the left ones and the right using the zero tiles to divide them:
[1,1,0,0], [1,0,0,1], [1,0,0,1], [1,0,1,1]
I am already able to get the corners of the groups, but still they are not in the correct order. As well some corners exist twice.
get the corners in the correct order and how to get rid of the doubles?
