ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Array Inside Array
Dec 11, 2011
I have an array with 10 buttons with random names, so not btn1, btn2, etc but for the sake of examples, I'll use btn1, btn2 etc
each of these buttons have dynamic text like so btn1.textField.text = "something random" etc also in each of this text there is a delimitator "%#%" I can easily use
Code:
var btn1ContentArray:Array = btn1.textField.text.split("%#%");
btn1.property1 = btn1ContentArray[0];
btn1.property2 = btn1ContentArray[1];
[code]....
I was wondering if there is a more ellegant way, using arrays or something similar to make the coding cleaner and easily scalable I can also create
Code:
var arrayBtn:Array = [btn1, btn2,..., btn10];
and do a for loop, but I don't know how to use array inside array

how I can access array data inside of an mc from the main timeline.. I am hoping to get into an array called children, which is inside of an mc, which itself is inside of an array called mcs.
Here is what I am trying to get to: mcs[m].children[0];

I"m creating my first game which is based on the efg framework ( 8bitrocket.com/books/the-essential-guide-to-flash-games/ ). What I'd like to know if it's possible to put a delay inside the processing of an array (in my case it's some scores which appear temporarily when an enemy is destroyed).The purpose of this question is: I'd like to make a delay so the scores appear half a second after the explosion.[code]

I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.

So I have this waky idea that I would put an array list (or list) or items inside a vector.
For example an array of fruit containing bananas, apples and oranges inside a vector of type fruit.
I could get the array list and thenwalk through it to get what I want.

I'm learning a lot by reading the questions and answers that are asked in the Forum. Now it is my turn to ask a question that is probably a rookie, but I have spend 3 days breaking my head to try to find a solution and have not found it yet.
I am trying that the program responds to each click of the player in a box that is white and turns red, with a random click in another box. Something similar to Tic Tac Toe.
My problem is that I can't make te program to access the boxes in the array by programming. When I try the program to access the box with p.ex.: "this.newBox.boxplus30.gotoAndStop (2);" I always get the error "object null or undefined". I have tried everything you can imagine to formulate that line of code, but without success.[code]...

I am doing my first simple game using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 3.0. In this game the player would be able to create a new quiz where it would create an array and add sets of questions and answers to that array. I have been looking on how to do this or anything like it and it doesn't seem to be possible (at least in this way).

I have three randomly moving movie clips and one keyboard controlled movie clip which is meant to avoid the tree random flying clips.
I want to do a hit test that basically will do something if anyone of the 3 random clips hit the keyboard controlled clip.
in the hit test i want to be able to have this work for any of the three random clips (flying pumpkins with different instance names, pumpkin1 pumpkin2 pumpkin3). This is all done on an external document class.
I thought about an array but I have no idea really
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;

ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<10; i++){
var p:Particle = new Particle();
[Code]....
I have this array of particles and I was wondering how can I add this particles inside a movieClip, in other words I would like to add particle "p" to a movieClip that I have on the stage with an instance name of "mainMC".
Also, is it possible to display the number of particles (p) inside mainMC in a text field? On this case I know it will be 10, but this will change.

I have an Array where in position 0, there are two items "name1" and "name2", then in position 1, there is only 1 item "name3", and position 2 there is only 1 item "name4".
Now when I trace like this:
trace(exampleArray[0].length)
The result is 2;
But when I trace like this:
trace(exampleArray[1].length)
The result is 5;
I understand that on the second trace its counting the length of the item so its the number of letters that its returning. I'm just wondering how can I get it to return 1, which is the number of items in that position which is what I'm interested in.

Code:

It gives me: undefined

I've never actually fooled around with 2d arrays that much. What I need is to access an array and get all the objects inside of it. I actually mocked up a little something to mirror what I want.
ActionScript Code:
var arr:Array = [[{name:"Hat", price:"34", url:"http://www.google.com"},
{name:"Scarf", price:"38", url:"http://www.yahoo.com"},
[code]....
I don't have any trouble getting the data, but as you can see that it's pushing each object separately in an array. So it would look like this: I just need to get all of the objects first like {obj}, {obj}, {obj} and then push them into an array.

At the beginning of my Flash game, I do some fairly heavy-duty calculations to figure out path-finding and visibility and that sort of thing. The result of the calculations are a few large Arrays and a Tree datastructure. It takes about 10 seconds on my computer. Is there a way I can do this calculation once and for all, and then just package up the final datastructures right in the the SWF, so that no one ever has to do the calculations again?

I am trying to create an image gallery using an Array with MovieClips inside it but I keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Fullsize_01$ to flash.display.DisplayObject.
Here is the code I made. I know it's probably something simple but I am pretty new to ActionScript.
var Fullsize_Pic:Array = new Array();
Fullsize_Pic[0] = Fullsize_01;
Fullsize_Pic[1] = Fullsize_02;
addChild(Fullsize_Pic[0]);

I have an array filled with several pre-existing variables. I want to loop through this array and update each of these variables that way, so that I don't have to do it line by line. My issue is that when I edit the variable inside the array, it is not changing the actual variable that was assigned to it. See Below for example.
Actionscript Code:
var myVar1:uint = 1;
var myVar2:uint = 2;var myVar3:uint = 3;
var myArr:Array = new Array(myVar1, myVar2, myVar3);
for(var a:uint = 0; a<myArr.length; a++){
if(a == 0){ myArr[a] = 9;
}}trace(myVar1); // Still traces "1" instead of "9"

I have a standard array with some text items and some numbers.
Here is an array item
ge: 65, (no quotes around this number)
Here is the DataProvider line (the section that applies to my example)
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: 65}]);
Here is the search line
for (var n; int = 0; n<arrayname.length; n++
arrayname[n]. Age == search_age.selectedItem.data
This works fine because the array number MATCHES the selectedItem data number (65) exactly and I get all records where age is 65
BUT I want to find records whose age is any number "greater than 60"
I have tried many ways to use the > sign and keep getting an error, example:
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >60}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: (>60)}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >(60}]);
None of these work.
Maybe these aren't numbers? I've tried putting 'int' in various positions with no results. I'm using a DataGrid which works fine for text items and will find numbers without quotes around them (if those numbers match whats in the array!).
What's the way to write this so I can get records greater than, or less than, etc.?
