I notice that about 4 times through out, who ever coded it used letters in addition to numbers in an arrays position.
Code:
risksArray["r"+element.@riskCode] = whatever;
but throughout the whole thing, he always refers to the array positions the same way.. so I can't figure out why he would possibly just add an r to the beginning like that.How does that work? Why would someone do it?
How can we simulate this effect? (Letters moving with mouse position?)
View 4 RepliesHow can I place my letters in a different position everytime the game starts and the letters will not appear in the same position? Right now I can make them appear in different positions but sometimes they will appear in a same position. I got the fla file attached here.
View 4 RepliesI have an Array of objects that each have a Name and a Score. I can sort the Array with '.sortOn()' by the object's Name or the Score, but when I sort by the Score, if some Names have the same Score, they don't list Alphabetically within that Score.
The following code shows what I mean. The Names with a Score of 50 are together when listed by Score, but they are not Alphabetical. How do I combine both ways of sorting?

I'm working on a for-fun project where I have a bunch of letters, in a row, that are jumbled. What is supposed to happen is that if you press one of the letters, then press another, and it is supposed to tween the two of them to the others position. For some reason though, the tween doesn't seem to be working (Since there are about 12 or 13 letters, I was planning on temporarily placing the two to be tweened into an array, and then tween them via the array)
Here is my ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent
import flash.geom.Point
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var tempPoint:Point = new Point(0,0);

I would like to parse some User Input Text into individual letters (probably using an array so the letters can be used and changed easily). The goal is to create an encryption flash script, which will take in a user input sentence, and spit out a jumble of "random" letters with a 4-Digit code. The end-user then takes the jumble, puts it in to the box, punches in the 4-Digit Code, and decrypts the message. I understand there may be ActionCrypt and stuff, but I'd enjoy attempting this myself. I have all the other data I need (translating letters in an array into numbers, jumbling the numbers, turning those numbers into letters, and then allowing the end-user to enter those and reverse-engineer the original sentence).
All in all, I only need the code to parse input text (in this case, and for the easiest idea, lets say 10 letter maximum) into an array of individual letters per sector.To make this easy for me to understand, I'll give you some variables to work with, so if you post code, I understand what you mean with the variables:
input_txt = User Input Box
encrypt_btn = The button one will press, and thus make the (hopefully new) sentence be parsed into an array
So pretty much, I'm assuming the code will begin with the encrypt buttons AS:
"this.on(Release) = function()"
That's the way I imagine it at least... If any of you have an extremely advanced way, that's fine by me. Use all the variables you want, array names.... everything!

Okay, what I want is kinda hard to explain, so bear with me.If I have an array:Code:myPets = ["cat", "dog", "bird", "fish"];Now, is there any AS that can use the value of say "dog", and return the position that "dog" is in the array, I know this seems a bit stupid and dog is obviously myPets[1], but when I'm creating arrays on the fly it becomes slightly harder.

View 1 RepliesSo I've got a button that spawns a block and when pressed spawns another to the right of that block, if pressed again the process repeats. These blocks are all placed into an Array. When the user click on the blocks, they are removed.I would like the blocks to track their position in the Array so I can splice out the value on click and all the other "building spots" will move to their Array position * building spot width, so when a block is cut out, the others all move a long and remove that space.Since Arrays aren't my strong point, I wish to see what you think would be the best option here.

View 9 RepliesI've creating a drag and drop card game in AS 2.0 and need to set the cards randomly in set positions every time the game is played. no two cards can be in the same space, so the taken position needs to be taken out of the array.I am not concerned about the Y value just X .
