What's the best way to sort an array while making sure that elements of equal value stay in the same position?
When I do something like this:
var i:uint;
var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray.push({num:1, type:0});
[Code].....
The objects that have equal num values swap places everytime I do a sort. So how do I get the sort to not swap the positions of objects that have the same value?
Is there a way to check if an event object is == to a sprite. For example
Actionscript Code:
if(evt.target == [object Sprite])
So I have two circles and a square on stage, myCircle1, myCircle2, and mySquare. You can drag the two circles, if you drop either one outside the square it'll snap back to where it originally was, if it's touching the box it'll snap to the center of the square.
I want it so when the second circle (either one) snaps to the center of the square, the first one will go back to it's original co-ordinates. So only one circle can be in the square at any time.
I've attached my as file with the current code.
The dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{
var id:int;
var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
I'm creating a simple banner for my site and have run into problems with easing.
What I want to happen is for the title of my site to bounce into place from frames 1 to 60 and then for an adjacent tag line to transition from blurry to clear during frames 61 to 90.
This is what my timeline looks like:
What I can't figure out for the life of me is how to get the title to remain on the stage after it stops bouncing on frame 60.
I tried extending the bounce tween to frame 90 then using the motion editor to shrink it to frame 60, but, for some reason it becomes distorted and no longer looks like a bounce:
What's the trick to getting the title to stay in place?
I want a symbol (instance name: "bullet") to appear at the same x and y where another symbol ("this" symbol, the symbol the code is attached to) is when the spacebar is pushed, but only if "bullet" is off-screen. I tried the following code, but "bullet" doesn't appear on top of the other symbol ("this") when I push the spacebar:
Code:
if (Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down
if(_root.bullet._y<0) { //checks to see if "bullet" is off the screen
bullet._x=this._y //sets "bullet"'s x to "this" x

I have a script which adds a div to a page containing a full-screen Flash object, like this:

In Firefox (running on Greasemonkey), myDiv appears on top of the Flash object. In Chrome (running on Tampermonkey), it is added underneath. I can't seem to change this by setting z-index - it is ignored.

I'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then). I'm making an educational game for my company that involves dragging labels from a word-bank to their correct position on a diagram. I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I used code snippets, so that each individual label has the following code associated with it:

View 1 RepliesWe have a flash object and when we use blockUI or some other overlay div with opacity < 1, it doesn't make the flash area transparent. However, it do hides the flash object when opacity is 1, but I want to have the overly div transparent which make the flash area transparent too like it doing for other HTML objects.
Here is the code expert:
[Code]....
For overlay div we are using jQuery.blockUI and FancyBox (when we need to some popup and block the UI). We also tried to overlay the flash object using a div with z-index. It overlays and hides the flash when opacity is 1 but not when it's < 1.
Here is the screen shot:

View 2 RepliesIs there anyway to randomly place a MovieClip/Sprite on an irregularly shaped object?For a rectangle, it seems pretty straightforward (i.e. use Math.random with the range being the coordinates of an object)...but what if say, you would like to avoid placing objects in the center?
View 2 RepliesBecause of the inability to create Vectors dynamically, I'm forced to create one with a very primitive type, i.e. Object: var list:Vector.<Object> = new Vector.<Object>(); I'm assuming that Vector gains its power from being typed as closely as possible, rather than the above, but I may be wrong and there are in-fact still gains when using the above in place of a normal Array or Object:

I have an object that moves around, and once it is pressed, I want it to move to a specific place and then continue to the next frame in the movie clip. This is what I have : a movie clip, the first frame has the stop(); command and contains approx 12 frames. The MC has this script attached to it :
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_x >= 0){
_x = _x - 10
}if(_y >= 0){
_y = _y -10
}if(_x == 0 && _y == 0){
gotoAndPlay("/ball",2) // ball being the instance name of the mc
}}
The first two parts do move the object to where I want it but the third part will not work and I cant get it to move past frame 1. (Note : 0,0 is not the place I want it to move to, it is there because I was experimenting with the code and this was an easy place to assign to the movement).

i've started to make like a quiz in flash with 218 questions in it! i've made it so the computer will show X amount of random questions.i've already got the code on the buttons so it will jump to a random question, but i'm having trouble with limiting the number of questions asked.
i've got an inputbox so the user can chose how many questions they do and the buttons add 1 each time thier pressed to a different variable.
i've got this code, but it never seems to stop asking questions
on (release) {
score = score+0;
page = page+1
if( (page == pagemax) )
GotoAndStop(220)
if( (page != pagemax) )

if (myVariable < 2){ //checks to see if it's value is zero
myVariable = 2; //set it to 1 if it is zero
}
gotoAndStop(myVariable); //goes to and plays the frame.

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip called background_mc; this movieclip contains 20 different movieclips each loading content. This works so far. When the minus key is pressed the background movieclip scales to 25% [this works] while scaled down the movieClip can be dragged around[this works]. I should note that while the movieClip is at 25% if a nested movieclip is clicked(onRelease) it tweens to 100% at the correct cooridinate. The problem is that after the movieClip is scaled back to 100% it can still be dragged whereas I only want it be dragged when scaled down.
