ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Property From An Instance Name Stored In An Array?
Feb 23, 2011
I've got this code -
Code:
var enemyArrayOneA:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 1; i <= 84; i++) {
/*
[code]...
I try to use race("mc.main1.a_0" + i + ".x = " + enemyArrayOne[i].x); and it doesn't work...I'm trying to find out if I can store instance names of movie clips inside an array and retrieve the movie clip's x and y positions.

I need to create an Array of movieclips so that I'm able to read / modify / add its properties. I thought the best solution was to create an Array of strings with each movieclip's name and then using this to convert the string to an expression, but I don't really know what to do when I want to access one of its properties. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
var room:Object = new Object
room.objects = ["mcObj1", "mcObj2", "mcObj3"]
mcObj1.Description = "It's a ball and it bounces"

I'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.

I'm creating a dynamic movieclip and the name/instance name is stored in a variable. How can I reference the instance if its stored in a variable?This is what I'm using and it doesnt seem to work (for obvious reasons). I know in php that you do this "blah blah" . $variable.

I've been using a custom base class with an id property that is automatically assigned by a manager class when an instance is created. I use this value in multiple ways and require it to differentiate each instance.
I want to remove the need for my own base class but still have a way to tell instances throughout my application apart.
Is there a property set on all objects in ActionScript 3 that can act as a unique identifier?

I have a "back button" scheme that includes using an array to store references to functions.However, when i have to troubleshoot something like this, one of the things i'd like to be able to trace is the names of the functions that are in the array. If i trace a for loop through the array i just get [type Function] for each function. I would like to look at it's name.Right now, im using a workaround that places objects with a func property and a funcName property, which is a string that needs to be indicated manually.

I was wondering... i thought this might be a dumb question to ask but ive been wondering if it is possible to remove all the data that was inserted into an array?
i.e.
ActionScript Code:
var loadAllThumbnails:Array = new Array("poop1", "poop2", "poop3", "poop4", "poop5");
someBtn.onRelease = function(){
//clears/emptys the array when released
}

How would one go about calling a function of an object that is stored within a multidimensional array? I keep getting TypeError: Error #1006.
Code calling the function:
ActionScript Code:
_board[i][j].drawPiece(xPos, yPos);
Code of the function:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawPiece(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
_piece_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000);
[Code]....
The object is there. When tracing out the array for specific index it provides:
[object Piece].
Or would it just be best to use a single dimensional array? End goal is to have a board class to be able to use for checkers and then potentially chess.

Anyway, I am having problems with storing movie clip objects in an array because when I try to access them, it kinda loses its properties as a movie clip. Say, i have mc_1 stored in the array,and in the course of the flash movie, a button is triggered to change its visibility to "false".. what i do is, arr[0]._visibility = false.So here's what I'm really trying to do with my school project: I have 24 movieclips, i named them field1, field2, ..., field24. I stored them in an array. Initially, they're invisible. Then, a button is clicked to show one field. If the button is clicked again, the second field is displayed, and so

I want to write a function that will load all of my external sounds stored in an array which are just strings of their filenames ie:
var soundList:Array = new Array();
soundList = ["sound1.wav", "sound2.wav", etc];
And create a new array with sound Objects that will have the sounds loaded in them (for later execution). After loading all of the sounds in the soundList array, the function should return or just set a _root value to 'true' ie:

I'm trying to draw a line between circles stored in an array. I have a button on the stage which adds another circle to the stage. My issue is I cannot draw a line between the most recent circle added to the array and the one that will be added next.

Im a bit stumped on this. I have a movie clip named mcMain that the player controls, and i want him to have it detect collisions at certain points of the screen (like at a certain X and Y co-ordinates). I have an array that contains those values, which is shown below:
Code:
//Array that holds x position of points
var xPoint:Array = new Array(150,400,200,300,100);

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

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'm having a problem with the supposed AI that I've created for a card game that I'm making. The purpose is to have the function meant for 'player 2' to run after the human player has put down a card. What the function is supposed to do is to compare the value of the card which is stored in a array, and then according to the value assigned the AI is supposed to compared with the 4 cards in its hand and decide on which is the best possible card to pick. Though the human player's code seem to work as expected, for some reason the function for the computer did not run and instead churned out a huge chunk of data in the output. I will attach 2 separate text files; one will include the portion of the code which I highly suspect is giving the problem, the second will be the supposed error message.

I have a little bit of code that makes a nifty kaleidoscope effect, but I would like to take it one step further by having each star in the kaleidoscope gradually shift color as it expands outwards. Right now, I create randomly colored "star" movieclips by drawing 6 different triangles within the movieclip, and then add those individual "star" movieclips to a "stars" array.
What I'd like to do is use a "for...in" loop to grab the .color property of each of the "star" movieclips and change it slightly (using colorTransform?) at each ENTER_FRAME. How can I go in and access the star.color property (or is it star.transform.colorTransform?) of each of the movieclip objects that are now stored in my "stars" array?
Would it be:
Code:
for (var i in stars){stars[i].transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}OR
for (var i in stars){stars[i].star.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}

I have a long timeline with a series of slides arranged along it with a labeled frame at the beginning of each slide.These slides do not have any standardized length so instead of counting out frames and jumping a set number I am trying to navigate with my previous and next buttons to frame labels stored in an array.
This works GREAT!Or rather...it works great if you're rapidly hitting the Next and Previous buttons to step through the area.The problem comes when you sit and try to watch the whole thing play out and then try to use the next button.If you have passed framelabel2 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2.If you have passed framelabel3 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2. Clearly the problem is that it does not know it has gone past framelabel1 and is thus gotoandplay-ing the next frame in the array...which is 2.I need to make it check its current position in the array before adding 1 and advancing the playhead.
var fLabels:Array = new Array("start1", "start2", "start3", "start4", "start5", "start6", "start7");
var cLabel:Number = 1;
function nextPlayClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {[code].....

ive come across this method 'as' and I dont get it.I am following a tut, and i have an array with my objects stored in it(for reference to control these sprites).They are instantiations of my sprite class 'Ball.as'
Code:
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
var myMCs:Ball = myMCs[i] as Ball;
}
when I remove it - flash doesnt seem to mind its absence.

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?

is there any way, within a class definition, to access the instance name of the class?as in, say you have a class "playerObject", and you instantiate an instance of it like usualplayer:playerObject = new playerObject();is there an inbuilt property or variable i can access within the playerObject class code to return "player"?if, in the constructor, i trace(this) it returns [object Object], i tried things like this.name, this._name etc, of course they didnt work...
