ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Unique Array Element Identifiers For HitTestObject
Feb 13, 2010
My hitTestObject fails even though a trace shows that I'm getting access to the correct target object.
I read a post that said that hitTestObject won't work if the hitter has the same identifier as other hitters (like in an array). So I tried using a single hitter (set the array to have only one element) and it does work, which makes me think I need to give a unique ID to each hitter in the array.
I can declare a string var in the for loop and make it unique, but since it's a string it won't accept being typed as another class.
how to create 100 unique var names that can be typed as a class?
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Liner extends Sprite{

I have an xml file and I'd like to create an array of all the unique values from one of its nodes.The xml file is called pntxml and the node is pntxml.row.Category where category is from where I'd like to create an array of all unique values.I was working through this and was first going to create an array of all values in Category by iterating through the xml and pushing those values into a seperate arrayWhen I try to push each entry into an array I get an error orTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at NAPA_fla::MainTimeline/sortXml()

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'm trying to create an array of random unique numbers from 0 to 39 so that I can list these numbers in a countdown and without repetition, ie: 25, 29, 11, 03, 17 etc. These are 40 different numbers, equal or greater than 0 and equal or less than 39.

I'm making a tile based game in AS3. Now I need to check a collision between the player and each tile (which are created in an array with 300-something instances).
I want to do that in my Main class. The player is in a class called Level and the tileArray is in another class. When I execute, I get the classic #2007 error - "Parameter hitTestObject must be non-null".
MAIN
public function checkCollision():void{
if(_level._tileSetBMP._tileArray[0] == null){
_level._tileSetBMP._tileArray[0] as flash.display.DisplayObject;
[Code].....
What can I do to make a hitTest with each of the [0]-instances of the array?

Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

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;

I am making an user application where users can chat one on one for an x amount of time till they go to the next user (see it as speeddating). Only they are all women talking about women stuff like knitting or something. A friends chat.
I am stuck with making unique pairs. only the first round is going great (unique pairs), but then it gets mixed up:
[Code].....
As you can see everyone in round 1 is paired good. But in round 2 you see (for example) Donna talking to Cindy, but Brenda is also talking to Donna. that's not right. she can't talk to 2 people at once.

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

I'm completely new to Flash and AS3, and I'd have thought this would be a simple question, but I've been unable to find an answer online or in the documentation. I'm trying to use addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME) and (.currentFrame) to disable a button for part of an animation sequence. While the animation sequence fades in, the Button Hand cursor is visible and people can select it before the sequence is completed. I want this button disabled for the first 213frames of the main timeline, which is when the button becomes visible.Earlier, I was successfully able to disable a Rewind button for parts of a different movie scene using the code below with a few insignificant things changed.
Skip_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SkipToGoToScene);
function SkipToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void

I know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.
var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];
trace(myArray[0]);
