ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested For Loop - Update The Tiles With The New Array Value?
May 25, 2011
i'm running a simple nested for loop (code below) that when you go over a tile makes it change its color, so far so good but i also want to make it so that when you go over a tile you can then continue only on the tiles connected to it
Code:
for (var colum = 0; colum < field_h; colum++)
{
for (var row = 0; row < field_w; row++)[code].....
i think i should be able to do it using arrays but i can't seem to understand how after the tiles are placed and the array updated accordingly to update the tiles with the new array value (enter frame event ? )

i'm a newbie to AS3 and i'm trying to update a website from AS2 to AS3. i can't get a for loop to work properly for me. i create the button movieclips initially, name them properly, and drop their titles into a textfield within the button movieclips.i am able to change the textformat on rollover/out and on click to a third state. i want the on click to change all the other button's text box format's back to the base state.so, when i write a second for loop to run through the other buttons, i keep getting an error.
when i test trying to change the text like this: parent.getChildByName("mbtn" + i + "_mc").getChildByName("title_txt").setTextFormat(T extFormats.mmbase_fmt);
i get this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a

This is my first time using Actionscript in probably 4 years and I'm learning everything all over again. For example, here's what I tried to jump right into doing and just realized I don't remember how. I'm trying to generate a world map out of tiles I created in Photoshop. I've created a symbol in the library for each tile and want to use an array and a for loop to create the full map.
So far I seem stuck on creating the array itself. I've started by creating a variable for each tile that exists such as m73 = "Lake South" where "Lake South" is the name of the symbol in the library. The full map will be a 32x32 grid of tiles but for now (until I get it working) the array is much smaller. An example of it is like this:
worldMapArray = [m4,m4,m4,m4]
[m0,m4,m4,m4,]
[m17,m16,m16,m16];
Hopefully this is enough to convey what I'm trying to do. However, when I use something like trace(worldMapArray[0][1]); it comes up as undefined. I've already created the needed for loops that use attachMovie for each iteration in the array, but as the array itself isn't set up right nothing happens.

I'm having a big problem with my tile-based game. I create tiles based on a 2 dimensional array. Each tile is a Movie Clip, created using attachMovie. The problem is that when there are many of these tiles, the game lags, because so many properties must be stored for each MC. Is there a better method for creating "tiles" than attachMovie, or a way to free the memory used for each one?

I am using a nested template by following the normal practice of creating a template, which I will call "core" and then creating a page from that template and saving it as a "nested" template. So far so good, except, when I update the "core" template, it only updates the .dwt template files that I created from the core template. It doesn't update any of my content pages that were created from the "nested" templates, that were of course based on the core template. I can go into each nested template and then it updates the corresponding pages, but it just seems like updating the core should do all associated nested templates. Is this the way it is supposed to work?

Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.
AS code:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var nodes = this.firstChild;

In the below code, "sector" is an indexed array.fsector1, fsector2,fsector3 are Associative arrays.The "gotoAndStop" command doesnt work properly.The last trace command, "curTerr" returns the same value as "curSec",leading me to assume i did not define "curTerr" properly.
Actionscript Code:
function loadmaptest(){ sector = ["fsector1","fsector2","fsector3"] fsector1 = new Array(); fsector1["terrain"] = "grass"; fsector2 = new Array();

I'm just wondering, how would I go about making a counter in ASC3 count more then once?
Because,
counter++ updates once,
but counter+2 gives you some kind of error.
counter+1 also gives you error.

I'm trying to display the current loading/buffering percentage by displaying it in a label.
Somehow, when the for-loop starts, the text wont update. It seems that the app is too busy rendering my frames so that it wont update the text..
This is parts of my code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<=359; i++){
myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(i);
mySWFBuffer = new BitmapData(myMovieClip.width, myMovieClip.height, false,

We have found that if you skip over frames that include nested movieclips with embedded timeline sounds, those sounds loop endlessly.For example, if you gotoAndStop(20) from frame 2, but frames 5-10 have a CLIP A that embeds CLIP B, which has a timeline sound, you hear that sound over and over again (even though the playback head never touched the frames with that clip).Does anyone have a convenient workaround (other than the obvious -- playing sounds dynamically, etc). For animation-sync reasons we need to use timeline sounds in this particular case.

I have an animation of a dog running across the stage and a movieclip called "legs" which is the legs moving. I want to loop the dogs legs for a certain amount of frames and then make it stop on a certain frame within that same nested "legs" movie clip.
Can anyone tell me how to do this and where the actionscript should go?

The below function does not work probably due to the path being typed incorrectly. How can i fix it?
ActionScript Code:
function ChangeTheme(Thistheme)
{
for (i = 1; i <= 218; i++)
{
with (this["sector" + i])
[Code]...
Also worth mentioning: On each of those frames, i have defined a local variable to label the sector. the label's name will be the same as the movie clip that is visible on that frame, as described below:
Actions for Frame1 of WallNorth: fLabel = CementRoad_mc
actions for frame2 of WallNorth: fLabel = DirtRoad_mc
P.S. "Thistheme" is just a way of advancing the frame of "Cementroad" (to display the cement road as wet or dry or muddy or w/e)

I have the following code to control the x position of one single movieclip (company_mc) with five button mc's (btn_corporate, btn_dimitriou, btn_cars, btn_cycles, btn_hertz):
Code:
function movoClip(x) {
company_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += (x-this._x)/5;
};}
[Code] .....
Now I also want to control tha alpha fade for 5 photo_mc's (photo_corporate, photo_dimitriou, etc etc) So if btn_corparate is pussed photo_corporate should go to alpha 100 and the others to alpha 0. I think it has something to do with a nested loop, but I'm not sure and also don't know how to implement such a nested loop insite the existing loop.

filterFunction is a method to apply a filter on the content of a collection.But the filter is not apply into the orginal Array (the one which use in the ArrayCollection) So, after apply a filterFunction, the original Array lenght doesn't change, neither the content because the Array is not update; Only the Arraycollection does changes after filterFunction method.is there anyway to synchronise the content of an arraycollection with an array ?

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 an inputbox and a submit button and prev and next button in my screen. Whenever users enter a text in the input box and clicks on the button, the text value is stored in an array. Then users click on the next button and again enters new value in the inputbox and click the submit button. The new value is added in the array.
Now suppose if users want to make correction to the values that they have entered for previously entered values, they can click on the previous button and make correction and click on the submit button.
For this I think, we have to remove an array value and add a new value to it. I am confused on how to remove and add a new value to that particular place.
Do I have to use Array.splice method. I think using the splice method I can remove an array item but how can I add the new value to that particular place. For example if users want to make correction to the second item, we should replace myArray[1].

I think I must be missing a step here; I have different data being pulled from an array created from xml depending on a variable (_currentTrackNum).. and the data changes if I set a different initial value for it; but if I change the variable once the program is initialized, none of the data changes even though I rerun the call with the changed variable.[code]

I am trying out the following code, so that whenever I make a movieclip null, the array containing it's reference too becomes null. I understand the following code cannot do this, but I want somehow, the array can provide information, if the movieclip has got null.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
var a_arr:Array = new Array(a_Mc,b_Mc);
trace(a_arr);
a_Mc= null ;
trace(a_arr);
Output is:
[object MovieClip],[object MovieClip]
But I want something like null, [object MovieClip ]

I've been working on a project the last few days in AS2 and decided I'd try and re-write it in AS3 as I'm yet to venture in to the AS3 world. I've done most of the conversion, but I'm stuck on what should be an easy problem. I'm loading images from an xml. The images get put into movieclips.
mcholder.image_mc.nmc0
mcholder.image_mc.nmc1
mcholder.image_mc.nmc2
mcholder.image_mc.nmc3 .......
I have a function that resizes the images when the stage is resized. This then runs another function to update an array of the image widths. The problem I have is trying to update the new widths into an Array. I just can't seen to reference my MC's to get the widths!

I have the following problem: I have this multi-level array (nested array) which contains two rows of bitmapData. Row 1:360 rotated bitmapData objects; row 2: 360 rotated and colored bitmapData objects.
I try to access row 2 but that doesn't work. There are some mysterious error messages coming up ("TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@36d7e9e9 to flash.display.BitmapData. at BasicBlitArrayObject/updateFrame()").
this function rotates and colors bitmapData; the rotated bitmapData is thrown into an array and the colored bitmapData is thrown into another array; a third array is used as a level array for nesting the other two arrays inside of it
