ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Duplicate Value In An Array?
Oct 26, 2009
I have an array containing single alphabet in every index and some of them in the array are duplicates. I'm trying to pick an alphabet and if there is an alphabet in that array, I want it remove from the array. so lets say if i have 3 "a" in the array, I want all 3 to be remove. But my function only remove one alphabet. How do i make it remove all 3? (var i:int = 0; i<alphabetArrayLength; i++) { if (singleAlphabet_arr[i] == alphabetPicked) { answer = singleAlphabet_arr.splice(i,1); } }

Also another question is, if i reach the end of the array how to i remove it? if i use splice it doesnt seem that it will remove the last item in the array.
my code is very simple
for (var i:int = 0; i<alphabetArrayLength; i++) {
if (singleAlphabet_arr[i] == alphabetPicked) {
answer = singleAlphabet_arr.splice(i,1);
}

I'm currently trying to make a cross-hair shooter game with an additional onstage character so that you not only shoot the AI, but also dodge using the arrow keys. The problem is, I have a code saying that if the AI hits the player unload the player, the AI, and the AI duplicates. The player and the AI are unloaded, but the AI duplicates are not! I tried fiddling with the code but just can't get it to work.

I generated some duplicate text fields in actionscript via a for loop and just did the "addChild()" function to add each textbox to the screen. Now I would like to remove them, but how do I do this? Since the textfields all have the same name, I can't do a 'getChildByName()' function to remove them, and I also tried getChildIndex(), but I can't seem to get any of that working.
How do I delete the duplicate dynamic text boxes from the screen via Actionscript?

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I'm having one of those brain cramp days..I'm trying to add a number of items (sprites) from an array to the stage. There are 5 items in the array, and I want to randomly pick one of them, add it to the stage, and do this 100 times.My end result only has 5 items. I can see why, because when I try to add the same item again, it replaces the previous placed item. I can't think of how to duplicate the item in the array to add as a new Sprite
ActionScript Code:
private var sizes:Array = new Array(15,10,5,20,30);
private var squares:Array = new Array(); // becomes populated with square sprites the sizes

This doesn't work at all.[code]...
but adding "removeDuplicates(aPeople);" after "createfile(thename);" has no effect: in other words, when I push the savefile button, it keeps creating clones of the same objects. What can I do?

I am parsing data from an xml file into an array within my flash file. The nodes within the xml file have common data between them. What I am attempting to do is dynamically push the data in the array without duplicating data already contained in the array. For example I may have an xml file that looks like this:
<videos>
<video>
<title>video1</title>
<thumb>file1.jpg</thumb>
<group>group1</group>
[Code] .....
Say I want to push the "group" data into an array. When it gets to the third "video" node I want the array to see that "group1" already exists so instead of pushing a second reference of it into the array to actually push the secondary data ("title" and "thumb"> into a new array for "group1". I will later use that array to pull up a list of "group1" videos.

I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);

I'm calling a flash file into the VB application. I'm also executing some code when user clicks on the SWF file.
Pushing a value into an Array is part of the code. What is happening is that.....when i trace the value of the Array, it shows duplicate values.
like if i'm pushing string "A" into the Array......when i trace the array it shows the array as [A,A] with length 2.
ActionScript Code:
if((second_mouse).hitTest(First_random_box))
{
Mouse_Team_One = ID;

I am planning to create Dynamic Boxes, in which may contain buttons, pictures and textboxes in the box. but I'd really want to know are
When a duplicated Movieclip was clicked, I want it to return a value so which I can know what Movieclip was clicked.
How do I manage them in one duplicated movieclip? for example, A duplicated box, and then in that box is an image, textbox and a button MOVIECLIPS, so when dragged, they can be dragged also.

I've got 4 menubuttons: homeBut, aboutBut, portBut and contBut that I'm adding a rollover command to. If I write all of it out as below it works correctly. Obviously this isn't the way to do it so I've used an array and for loop to duplicate this process. However, when I compile the .fla the rollovers don't work. I thought I had my head around loops, vars and arrays but apparently not.
Below is the bloated, redundant code that works followed by the array/loop code that doesn't.
// Main Menu: Rollover
/*this.menuMC.homeBut.onRollOver = this.menuMC.homeBut.onDragOver = function() {
this._parent.homeTxt.gotoAndStop("on"); };
this.menuMC.aboutBut.onRollOver = this.menuMC.aboutBut.onDragOver = function() {
this._parent.aboutTxt.gotoAndStop("on");

I'm having trouble going through a multidimensional array and weeding out duplicate items. For instance, here is some simple code:
Code:
var arr1:Array=new Array(1,2,3)
var arr2:Array=new Array(2,3,4)
var arr3:Array=new Array(arr1,arr2)
var arr4:Array=new Array(1,2,3)
[code]....
Is there an error in my logic? Or programming? Or is there a different way I would have to go about comparing array items than the array.some() method? My only other idea is to use a loop to go over every item individually in the nested array; is this the right track?

It's a simple self-checkout grocery thing and I want to list the items the user is "buying" after typing in the appropriate code, but I can't get it to stay at nine lines only in the dynamic text field. I was told to use array.shift() to get rid of the first value in the two arrays so that I have an easy way by keeping the arrays at nine values, but it doesn't seem to work right.. It'll get rid of the first value, but only once and it'll add a blank value and then continue happily adding to the length of the array. Google has failed me so far so I suspect it's something else in my code.[code]

The as dictionary tells me I can use array.splice to remove an element from an array like so
Code:
var myPets_array:Array = new Array("cat", "dog", "bird", "fish");
trace( myPets_array.splice(1) ); // dog,bird,fish
trace( myPets_array ); // cat
Which is all fine an dandy, but what if I want to use a value instead of the index number?
like:
Code:
var myPets_array:Array = new Array("cat", "dog", "bird", "fish");
trace( myPets_array.splice("cat") ); // dog,bird,fish

I 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?

I have a utility function:
function removeFromArray(item:Object, arr:Array):Object {
for(var i:uint = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if(item == arr
[Code]....
This function searches through an array and sees if an item exists in it, if it does, it removes it and returns a reference to that item.
This works fine for most things. But I just ran into a problem where I need to remove an array from an array.
so my array looks like this [ [item1a, item1b], [item2a, item2b] ]; and i need to remove [item1a, item1b] from it. But passing in the the array to remove and the full array to remove it from does not work because i guess of the casting to an object in the parameters list. Can the functionality i want be used? if so how?
