how you pass and receive an array through functions in AS3? I keep trying it the same way I do in C# and it doesn't seem to work the same.Im trying:
Code:
Var aTest:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
Testfunction(aTest);
Public Function Testfunction(aTestArray:Array)
[code]...
My example imports XML and has an object rotating on stage. The rotating object is called enemy corresponds to ENEMY in the XML. How do I set the rotation variable to receive values from XML?
REASON: It seems more difficult to set up variables using external data. I want to understand it better.
rotation.fla
//LOAD XML
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();[code]......
Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
How can I define functions that can receive unknown/variable amount of parameters?
View 2 RepliesI am sending a PHP array to ActionScript 3.Below is the code that is meant to receive my PHP array and dump it in to an ActionScript array.
code:
function onDataLoad(event:Event){
var myArray:Array = event.target.data;
textField.text = myArray[0];
}
But it doesn't work for some reason.
how i can send an array from as3 to php with the toString() method. Now i'm looking for the solution to how do I receive an array from php. I would like to print an array and access it inside my actionscript file as an array? Is there a way to parse it?
View 3 RepliesHow to receive an array from flash vars?
So I have HTML page. with flash app on it. I vant to send an array to flash. How to do such thing using flashVars (I have something like uid=12&sid=12&sid=32&sid=12&sid=32) so i need to get dinamic andomeegunnown number of Sid's not losind UID how to du such thing?
btw I want to pass in an array of values and have it recognized by Flash as an Array object; For example, with POST and GET requests an array is formed as "field[]=value&field[]=value" etc.
Code:
package{
import flash.events.*
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class ParticleAttractors extends Sprite{
public var i:int;
public var j:int;
[Code] .....
They all move in unison, but by my terrible reasoning, all objects in the particle array should receive different velocities. Is there some much more efficient way to achieve this effect? If not, tell me what is wrong in my for loop. Update is an on enter frame function, by the way.
I have some basic experience with using URLRequest to POST variables to my server which works fine.How do I post an array to my server and receive it back?
View 3 RepliesI have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
I know PHP, JavaScript and AJAX. All of these other languages easily allow me to pass variables through a function, but I can't seem to work out how to do it in ActionScript 3. As you can see from the code below, I have created a variable called 'flag', this variable is set to 'notAdded'. However, once the function is called, I want to change the variable to 'added'. This for some reason does not work, the variable update only works within the function itself. There seems to be no global scope for functions.
Code:
var flag:String = "notAdded";
bobRunning.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , bobRunningUp);
if (flag=="notAdded"){function bobRunningUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ bobRunning.width = 30;
bobRunning.height = 30;
flag = "added";
}}trace(flag);
Pass additional parameters to this type of functions?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set up a function that makes the hit areas for buttons. The text is visible, but the hit area rectangle underneath the text is not, but detects the hit; my previous version, the mouse had to be over the actual descenders and ascenders of text to register, to the rectangle makes it easier to click. I have the invisible part of the hit areas visible right now, by commenting out the line to make them invisible, but the end result will have them invisible. Instead of explicitly defining every rectangle, I am successfully passing the x,y,height, and width params to newbut function. But I also want to pass the names for each button, otherwise it seems to just change the coordinates on the same button. I am trying to pass the names as strings, but not working. Not sure what to do!!! PS this is my first time on this or any other Flash board, so please be gentle.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI'm starting to get a handle on some AS3 basics in terms of building nested classes or packages or whatever the proper syntax terminology is.
Now I have two instance functions:
1 - parseXML
2 - loadImage
I have these 2 functions working together using an eventHandler. Once the XML is parsed the aim is to load an image. Sounds pretty common right?
When the image loading commands are in the parseXML function they work fine. But then when I put the image loading commands in separate function titled loadImage and trigger it using an eventHandler onComplete, it loses my variable and instance definitions.
I've got this external class that I'm loading into a function, it traces. But then I try to use the already loaded class in another function it tells me that I'm trying to access something that's not defined[code]...

Suppose you have a round based RPG type game. The player issues directives to his units, your enemy AI issues directives to its units. The problem is that the functions for those directives then have to be executed in a specific order with no relation to the order they were input in and all at the same time with the push of one button.
I just need a little direction here, I just spent the last fifteen minutes searching "AS3 Array of Functions" before figuring out that maybe that's not the way you do it in AS3.
Essentially, I'm looking for the way to store functions, put them in a list to be sorted in a specific order and then execute them in said order.
I want to generate a random number and use that number to run whatever function appears at that index in the array.

is it possible to sort array elements using more than one sorting function? My problem is this: I want to sort an array firstly for one property of the objects inside, then with the help of a function and again with the help of another function...
