I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
Can I clear all values from an array and not let any of them be undefined. Like reduce the array size length or some thing. I have MC names in the array and need to refer to var�s from the MCs and can�t have any be undefined

View 9 RepliesQ. How do I set the width of the array and length and set each of the values in it to the same number.This is for a game im working on. (Tile like you could of guessed.)
Note: I know you use for loops to find the x and y of the values... This doesnt work, but think its how it suppose to work.
Code:
_global.ymap = 4;
_global.xmap = 4;
for (y=0; y<_global.ymap; y++) {[code]......
I'm trying to use a for loop to remove duplicate array values. I've tried pop, shift, and splice.
View 3 RepliesMy goal is to take an original array and subtract from it the values dynamically stored within another array to return a completely new array.
For instance, the pseudo code might read:
//original array
fruitArray = ["Apples", "Oranges", "Grapes", "Pears"];
//when user clicks button a new array is populated with one of the values found within fruitArray, after two //clicks the array might look like:
newFruitArray = ["Apples", "Grapes"];
//the resulting array would consist only of these values
finalFruitArray = ["Oranges", "Pears"];
I tried concatenating fruitArray and newFruitArray and removing the duplicate values but it's not quite working. !

View 1 RepliesI have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:
groceries = ["bananas", "apples", "apples", "oranges"];
I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?
what im thinking is each mc loaded is pushed into the array then on the press of a button or keyboard press the array is cleared and the movieclips that were inside the array are removed from the stage. trouble is i dont know how to write that. some guidance would be great.

Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...
here is the thing i want:::
I have array values like this,,
array1 = [23, 49, 40, 239, 20, 80, 39,49,120, 24, 31,41];
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
this problem is blowing my mind i have a for loop that i want to go through my entire array but it seems to not be counting the last element in the arraay!
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i<gridControl.game.blockG.length; i++){
trace(i +" "+gridControl.game.blockG.length);
}
and the last line of code it spits out is "83 84" meaning that there are 84 items in the array but it only ran through to 83...i dont understand why its doing this.
anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

How do I display the contents of an array in a text box? (AS3) It's a 2-dimensional array, if that matters.
This shows me the first entry, of course:
ActionScript Code:
outputBox.text = bigChunk[0];
This shows me all data in the array, but of course the user won't be able to see this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(bigChunk);
What I want is this, but of course it doesn't work. Gives me an error because I'm trying to use an array as a string.
ActionScript Code:

View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to clear the contents out of an array or to reset an array?
Say I have 3 arrays that get populated throughout a specific time. I want to be able to reset or clear out all of the data in the array so it is basically a new Array();
I've got an application that has several slides. Each slide has a sound file that goes with it. I created a function on the root timeline that plays the audio sound. Each slide loads one after another and works great. However I have next and previous buttons for each slide. Each button makes the sound channel stop. If I press something too quickly the sound in the sound channel isn't overwritten with the new sound.
So basically I want to know how to remove all sounds from the sound channel so I can load a fresh new sound. Because the stop command only stops the soundchannel until the next sound is loaded and then it starts playing the sound again. It seems like the sound channel is an array of sounds and I don't know how to clear the array before pushing a new sound to it.
