ActionScript 3.0 :: Implementing A Linked List To Use Instead Of Arrays In Some Areas?
Sep 13, 2010
I was looking at implementing a linked list to use instead of arrays in some areas. But is it really worth it in AS3? I did some speed tests using 10000 objects (ints). Access is about the same as long as you know what node you're on. Removal is of course faster.But adding to the linked list is actually slower than push() by the same amount that it is faster in removal.So is it really worth it to use them?

I have the following set up: 6 text input areas when button 1 is pressed these numbers are copied to 6 text areas these 6 (user input) with text areas appear and when button 2 is pressed a further 7 (result) text areas that appear to a timer and contain randomly generated numbers to string I need to compare these two groups of text areas in a way that treats the 7th text area as a special excluded case:

I am currently using this AS to randomize an array:
Code:
function shuffle(wordtestmix,b):Number {
var num : Number = Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
return num;
[Code]....
and would still like to randomize the array without splitting the two values up.
What is the best way to declare this type of array and also adjust the randomize code in order to mix it correctly.

I tried the benchmark on this site: Array vs. Vector vs. Linked list. It tests the performance of iterating over said sequences.Remarkably, iterating over a linked list is approximately 2.5x faster than a Vector.<int>. What is the reason for this counter-intuitive result?

I know there isn't a built-in linked list in AS3, but one can easily write his own. However, I found it difficult to come up with a good solution for sorting such list.If you didn't know, linked list is a chain of "cell" objects, where each object has a reference to the next object, typically you can write it like this:
Cell1.next = Cell2;
Cell2.next = Cell3;
CellN.next = null;
(Circular linked list and bidi linked lists are out of the scope of my problem, for now at least).
I looked into other languages that do have linked lists or even standard libraries for them, however, I don't seem to be able to either port any of their solutions, or, some of them, if ported to AS3 would not be workable (since they use recursion) or would otherwise have huge overhead because of lots of method calls etc.
I think, I'm focused on 2 possible algorithms: Merge sort and Insertion sort. These two seem to be most applicable to AS3. However, I may be wrong - so, please fill free to correct me.

Let's say I had an AS file that populates a list menu in my movie from ListOneArray.That list menu is used as a navigational tool and when the user clicks on a list item it would take them to, say, frame 2.On frame two I would like that list menu now to have a different list from an array in the AS file called listTwoArray.What would be the best way to go about that? Or, if I have the list menu populated from the AS listOneArray and the user moves to frame 2 by the navigation, can I on frame two access the listOneArray in the AS and change the data?

First I need to come up with a storage mechanism that looks something like this
x coord: 124 y coord 26 color: orange
x coord: 13 y coord 54 color: orange
x coord: 14 y coord 14 color: orange
x coord: 124 y coord 46 color: orange
x coord: 154 y coord 26 color: black
x coord: 12 y coord 21 color: orange
Secondly I need to know how to run a test to see if there is already an entry in that list that has the mouses current coordinates, and if it doesn't, it places a new entry with the mouses coordinates with the current color variable which will be a variable that flcikers back and forth between black and orange based on a timer that runs separately. I know that forEach will be involved and I know that what I am working with will be called an associative array.

what I need to do is combine 5 arrays with 5 individual strings (which have come from a JSON webservice) into one single list item in FlashBuilder Burrito. [code]I've pulled these out successfully and each one traces in the debugger, although as I need them all in the same list I'm struggling to establish them as a dataprovider together.If I push the strings and arrays together it is impossible to read properly, as the main Titles are at a different level to any descriptors for the products which are in the arrays.

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.

This is a pretty simple thing but I'm not sure what is the best way to do this. How do you define the "hot spot" for a movieclip?. Let's say you want to define what part of that movieclip is sensitive to the cursor within that same movieclip in a frame. (like the Hit Frame in a button object). The Hit Area property seems to only refer to other movieclips, and not able to define it as a specific frame.

Im trying to make a game, but want to use specific text input to get points, this is probably simple but it doesnt seem to work for me. Essentially I have a text input area on the screen and if the user enters the right value and then clicks continue they get points. I have a text input area named numgame and have attached this code to the continue button:
on (release) {
if (numgame = "343"){
_root.score = _root.score + 100;
gotoAndPlay(536);
}
}
Currently it seems like the if statement isnt even doing anything, the score is added once continue is pressed no matter what is entered. Is there a better/ correct way of doing this.

This is a very very basic question.I am able to colour and otherwise manipulate elementary vector objects, such as rectangles. Yes, I know how to use the colour panel and the fil land ink pot tool. However, sometimes I can colour a vector shape drawn with the pen tool and sometimes I cannot. It seems completely random.In detail: select keyframe on an empty layer.I make a triangle with the pen tool, and a small circle shows completion. I get a triangle.This is coloured not for the stroke but for the layer. It seems to exist in two densities - a layer coloured line for drawing, a thicker, same-coloured one after selection.However, neither the ink bottle nor the fill tool do anything. I can set the colour in advance, or after the event, through the colour panel or otherwise, nothing. A gradient fill does not even show the guide lines for the fill tool.

I'm working on for a flooring company. They want a Flash movie that allows the user to change the look (product and color) of different areas of the floor.I have a menu on the left side that designates the three different areas of the floor. I have the two products along with color swatches along the top. I currently have each of the three areas as separate movies that load into a main movie.These three area movies each contain the color swatches on the top as buttons to change the color of that area using "On Release > Go To Frame Label" actions that displays each of the different colors. These movies each load on a different level based on the selection of the left side menu.I want the user to be able to go to each of the three areas and change the product/color attributes without losing what they had already done. For instance, if they choose PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, then they want to change the product/color on AREA 2, I still want the movie to display PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, etc.The problem I run into is that when you go back and forth between the three areas, the navigation only controls what movie is on the top level and doesn't allow the user to go back to a previous area and change the product/color attribute.
