ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Generate Nested Arrays
Apr 28, 2010
I'm sure this must have come up before but how do you generate nested arrays in as3? In AS2 I believe you could simply write arrayX[a][b][c] = d; but in AS3 you need to declare each nested array e.g.
[Code]....
This doesn't throw any errors but when used in a function, any subsequent values overwrite the existing arrays. e.g. with differing values of a,b,c and d the trace of arrayX[a][b][c].length will always be the value of the last run of the function.

If the subject isn't entirely clear, it's because I'm not sure how to describe what I want to do. What I have currently is a large group of ComboBox components which trigger an event handler, which uses a Switch...Case statement to determine the selection, and then uses another Switch...Case to figure out which ComboBox actually called it so the function called can use the appropriate arguments. The way I have it written has bloated the code, so I'm wondering if there's a shorter way to do this.

I have this array that contains the names of various images I want to load into Flash
var imageArray:Array=["image1","image2","image3","image4","image5","image 6","image7","image8","image9","image10"];
Now I want to create 10 different buttons with each button loading in an image. I know there's a way to do this with a for loop without having to make 10 different buttons and writing 10 different functions. Not sure how to correlate the members imageArray with the generated btns.

I am having problem with 2d nested arrays, I want to create one which is coming from XML. My XML ('test.xml') looks like this:
<content>
<item image="Mike.jpg" name="Mike" state = "New York">
<complex fid = "0"> ju675</complex>
<complex fid = "1"> kyu49</complex>
</item>

I've used Flash Builder's "connect to data/service" tool to connect to a URL of XML, which looks something like:
<house>
<name>Home</home>
<address_line1>My street</address_line1>
[Code].....
This has created a service and a package called valueObjects. In this valueObjects package is a class called "House", as I'd expect and I've worked out how to access these and their properties.
What I can't work out is how to work with the class called "Photos". Each house has a property "photos" of type Photos, which I'd expect to be an array but I can't for the life of me work out how to iterate it or see what it stores.

I'm trying to figure out how to generate an array whose elements are each arrays to make a quick loading database of sorts.the main array could essentially be something like "employees" while each employee would have demographic data like age, salary, gender, etc.In some cases the information on some employees would be greater than others, and options created by "push" would imply the number of elements within each employee array would be variable until generated.[code]But I get the feeling this type of array as it is currently described doesn't lend itself well to adding new elements in the way I've described.My goal is once an employee's information has been entered and saved, I can call up their info by array number like aEmployee[2], and if employee 2's name is Bob, then Bob's name would appear in the text field, along with all the other fields related to Bob's array, such as being male, 42 years old, and living in Witchita Kansas.Would I modify a multidimensional array, or do I want an array within an array, and is there a way to add "arrays" as elements?

How would I go about sorting an array of nested arrays, based on the contents of one of the nested arrays elements?
var nestedArray1:Array = new Array(0,0,1);
var nestedArray2:Array = new Array(0,0,9);
var nestedArray3:Array = new Array(0,0,7);

I have 2 movieclips(mc1, mc2) nested inside a movieclip(container) who is nested inside another movieclip(main).
(mc1 & mc2 -> container -> main)
How can I define an array for those 2 movieclips(mc1 mc2) so that it can be used in the main timeline?
E.g: if the 2 movieclips were on stage then var theArray:Array = [mc1, mc2]

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.

correct syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

In the past I have created a php file that generates the XML and then referenced it in place of the xml file and it has worked. I am trying this with a precompiled flash app and it is not working.
It works if I run the script, save it and then reference that file to the swf. I would rather not generate a file to the filesystem if possible. Anyone any solutions?

I'm working on the UI for a project. I have a question that hopefully is rather simple. But my whole project hinges on whether or not it's possible, so it's important to me.
generate a .swf from another .swf. Let's say I have a .swf that I export from Flash, and it lets the user choose a number of settings for a piece of generative art, and once they've customized it to their liking, can they then click a button that says "save as a .swf"?

Is it possible to generate multiple thumbnails from a FLV using only as3? The flv is on the same server as the swf so I'm not using any dedicated streaming server. I'd imagine that as long as the flv has load the video you'd be able to pull bitmapdata from a specific time of the flv. My idea is to pull around 8 images from every flv, convert them to buttons and use them as links to specific chapters in the flv. If this is not possible, would it work better with a dedicated streaming server like red5?
Edit: I'd also like to know how to do it if it's possible :) The idea is to not use the server. The thumbnails will only be used within the swif, so no saving to another location.

I am trying to create an image gallery similar to Androids "Gallery" where it is a horizontal scrolling list of images. I am doing this with an HBox and Bitmap objects wrapped in a UIComponent. The problem is I am trying to do this for mobile and having many full size images open in memory causes problems. I have been trying to have the images load right as they are scrolling into view and unload once they are out of view, but the loading/unloading while scrolling requires too much cpu and causes a very choppy and poor UI. What I am looking to do is be able to load several low quality versions of the images in memory so I dont have to do as much loading/unloading. I have tried decreasing the height/width but it dosnt seem to have an effect on memory usage.

I have a slight issue generating a swf using the flash IDE. I can import c300 images via the 'Import To Stage' option but then the program crashes and dies as it runs out of memory.
Is there a way to create a swf by reading a folder of images? PHP is a possibility but the swf capabilities are limited.
