ActionScript 3.0 :: RemoveChild + Array.splice Lag?
Jun 2, 2009
I am working on a basic game in order to practice my AS3 coding skills. The point I am at is that when my enemies (Falling vertically down) touch the bottom of the stage I want to make all enemies in all of my arrays be removed. Now, the code below works perfect for that description of what I want, but it does not remove everything at the same time. Instead it does not remove all of them at the same time, and it's very noticable. As in there is about a 3-4 second gap between when the first dissapears and when the last does.
So will I need to completely optimize my entire project, or is that any way I can do this process that is more efficient? Also what are your thought on just changing all of the enemies y coordinates to -100 or something at first, and then removing them while they are off the stage?

From what I know the whole idea behind having collection classes is introduce extra wrapper methods which will be handy for developers.
Then why does ArrayCollection in Flex not seem to have some methods that array has.
ArrayCollection does not have a copy, concat, join or splice methods which return a new array so we need to do the copy manually?

Currently my code is this[code]...
What I am trying to do is splice the array at the right time in my code so it will disappear from my array- and the affect would be the returnRandom() function won't return that same item ever again. [url]...

OrderModel.getInstance().orders.splice(i, 1);[code]....

I am trying to remove an element from an array by using splice like:
Code:
myArray[1].splice(2,1);
This works & finds the element I am looking for but it doesn't really remove the element but it will just insert a blank object instead. Am I doing something wrong here. How would I "really" remove the element, meaning that the Array would become shorter?

I have an unordered ever-changing array that looks something like this:
12,23,1,4,11
I just want to basically tell the code to remove a specific item, let's say "23". But since the array is constantly changing length, I can't use splice.I also can't have any gaps, such as "12,,1,4,11". It must return "12,1,4,11".And on a related note, can I then check if this array has the same content of numbers as another array (and do I have to put them both in numeric order before it can perform the check, or doesn't it matter that they're not in the same order, as long as they have the same contents)?

I am trying to replace an Object inside my nested array (colArray) by using splice, the object acts as my player and will need to maneuver around the Array it's in. The Problem is splice doesn't appear to be showing anything in return, it comes up with an error saying: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.What am i doing wrong ? And how would i go with moving my playerObject around the array?
var gridContainerMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var gridSize:Array = [col,row]; //Rows, Columns
var gridArray:Array = new Array();
var col:Number = 44;

I have an array with many values pushed into it (happen to be names of objects). I am using a for loop to check all of the objects (by index number) for collisions, etc. Periodically, depending on a condition, I want to remove the currently checked object's name from the array list. I noticed that there is a problem if I immediately splice the checked name from the list. Namely, the list gets shorter, which is what I want, but not until I'm done checking all objects. Is it a good idea to solve the issue by incrementing i-- after the splice? I do this so that the object that used to be next in the list doesn't get skipped.It seems to work very well but I want to know if this is a lame/problematic solution and if there are any better ways of dealing with it
for (i=0;i<myarray.length;i++){
var ob=myarray[i]
//any old condition

I have a drag and drop game. You listen to a sound for exampl "bread" You proceed to drag that mc to a box. If it is the right object I want to remove that mc and splice the array so it doesn't choose that object anymore. However I have notices two things.
When I splice(0) a specific element - then nothing works. When I splice the cuurent indexed element ie: the last element to get right - it doesn't actually remove it from the array. I have highlighted the key code parts.

I'm trying to figure out why I can't remove the child of the meteors immediately after they have hit the planet or a building so that it would only damage the building once. When I try to just 'removeChild(meteorArray[k])' AS says that the 'object must be a child of the caller'. I'm not sure what that means, but I thought that the meteor was the child of the main document class.

I've set up and button/movie clip array so that when a user clicks on a button, that movie clip loads and the old one goes away. What I'd like to do is use "addChild" to load the new movie clip and "removeChild" to remove the previous clip. I've got the addChild thing...sort of...it loads all the movie clips onto the screen at once though and I can't get the script to work another way.
Here's the code I've got:
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:m1_mcButton, page:m1_mc},{button:m2_mcButton, page:m2_mc},{button:m3_mcButton, page:m3_mc},
{button:m4_mcButton, page:m4_mc}, {button:m5_mcButton, page:m5_mc},{button:m6_mcButton, page:m6_mc},

remove certain children of a MovieClip gamePage which I have added to the stage.. I have added a removeListeners Array loop to my validation button which should do this although children still remain.. I think I may not be targeting the movieclips correctly.. Here is my code (which works but throws Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.) it must be syntax related
function onValiderButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var persoArray:Array = [gamePage.a1, gamePage.a2, gamePage.a3, gamePage.a4, gamePage.a5];
if((level == 1) && (gamePage.h1.occupied != true) && (gamePage.a2.hitTestObject(gamePage.h2)

I've condensed my problem to the code/situation below for testing purposes. I have several MCs. At any point, any one of them may be on the stage (via various other user interaction throughout the project - I've cut out all that for simplicities sake). I need a way to, at the press of a button, remove (from the stage) whichever MC happens to be there at the time. My hope was to put them all in an Array (or some other container??) up front, and then make code that would remove any of its current objects on command. Am I barking up the wrong tree?Here is the code. For testing purposes, I'm assuming that only one of the MCs ("b") have been added to the stage at this time:
var aroject1 = new project1();
var broject2 = new project2();
var croject3 = new project3();

When I'm removing an object from the display list (via removeChild), I'm performing a splice on all of the arrays that the object has:
[Code]....
My thinking was that this frees up some memory similar to disposing a bitmapdata. Does this even do anything? Or, will arrays be cleared and the memory usage restored when the object is removeChilded?

I'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

If I have an array
[Code]....
Then secondPosition is them temp[5] instead of temp[6]...since one has been removed from the array. I have been writing:
temp.splice(firstPosition,1);
temp.splice(secondPosition-1,1);
I don't think this is right...especially if secondPosition is at the beginning of the the "temp" array (i.e. temp[0]). Is there a way to remove two items at once from an array, if they are not side-by-side??

I'm working on an application for a company that wants to create a service for their users. This company currently offers videos that are around 1.5 hours in length, and the service they want to integrate is the ability for the user to 'record' clips of this larger video to create, essentially, a highlight reel. The end result of this service would be a 3 minute video of the user's favorite parts of a huge 1.5 hour long video. Make sense?
For the sake of simplicity in asking my question, imagine the user interaction to be very basic. The user watches the video, he/she can press 'record' to record a clip of the master video. Now... I'm already aware of FLVslicer by Thibault at ByteArray, but I've thought surely there is some other approach to recording / splicing / merging FLV clips than just this guy's framework.
And so finally, my question is: do any of you have insight as to how I might investigate the best way to create this functionality aside from using FLVslicer?

i am trying to splice a string between line breaks.
I have text called in using load vars and a text file. The text file called in has a few lines:
line one text
line two text
line three text
I would like to be able to splice that string so that i can create a string just using the second line of text.

Is there a way to do this, possibly by overriding the draw function of flash.media.Video?
