I have a sentence that's basically items from an array, and I have this line that when I type one of those words on it, that word is removed from that sentence/array. And I'm having trouble coming up with a function, I'm trying to make it an if statement.so far I tried: and I know I need to put splice in, but this is just to see if it works or not.
ActionScript Code:
if(enterWordLine.text == sentenceLine.text)
{
[code]......
var answer_array:Array = new Array();
var wordsLoader:XML = new XML();
wordsLoader.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code]....
All of the values in my array are coming up "undefined".
I want something where I click a button, and it replaces words with other synonyms automatically. My thoughts are:
set up array
(array1=array2)
array1="word1","word2","word3"
array2="word1","word2","word3"
search text for word in array1
if find in text= word in array1
replace with random word in array2
Would anyone know how to set this up, or point me in the right direction?
I have a text file that has a large list of words. Each word is on its own line but has no commas or any punctations in between.Can I turn this file into an array with each word being a string in the array?Can I do this without manually putting commas in between each word?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to have an array of words, and then, with another set of code, to have those words randomly animating (perhaps from the distance, to closer up, like a zooming non-blurred effect) on the stage?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

View 8 RepliesHow do I create an array of strings from a string, eg."hello world" would return ["hello", "world"]. This would need to take into account punctuation marks, etc.There's probably a great RegEx solution for this, I'm just not capable of finding it.
View 7 RepliesI need to flash a series of words for 2.5 seconds with a pause for .5 seconds. The words are drawn from an array that is assigned, but I need to have these words flash in a particular order.For example, if the "words" were A, B, C, D, E (each of which I've assigned a stored value), I might need to show A C E B A A F.
View 3 Repliesso i search for keywords ofc, but...doing this isn't really my thing:input.text.indexOf("spam") != -1 && input.text.indexOf("more") ! -1 && ... etc
I'd like to make it some what like:input.text.indexOf(<database>) != -1
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]
View 1 RepliesThe 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 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?
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);
}
}
the button is added in Land():
Code:
function land():void
{
if(ship.xVel==0 && ship.yVel==0 && rocks.x>50 && rocks.x<350 && rocks.y>311 && rocks.y<319)
{

If I use array to reference clips, what's the best way to remove the clips using that arrayHere's the basic example code with a way that seems to work. I want to know the best/proper way to remove from memory
Code:
var arrayListItems:Array = new Array();
function loadList(){
[code].....
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?

View 1 RepliesI've made a little movie that reads items from an XML document and when you click on a thumbnail it adds the details and the price to a list and totals the amount. The problem I'm having is when you want to remove an item; I want to make it so that the items all shift up and there isn't a gap in there but at the moment they're overlapping sometimes when you remove something from the middle of the list.I'm not really sure where the problem lies because I've been staring at this for a few days now nothing's coming to me. It's probably in the below area, I think it's going haywire when the array gets remade but the num property of the remove button doesn't get updated.[code]I've attached all of the relevant files if anyone wants to take a look at it in action. Also, I know some of the code might seem a bit strange (like reading the XML in a loop and then pushing that into a different array) but there is a reason for it, I've stripped that part of the application out though.
View 0 RepliesI have made a class that creates a dotted line following a moving object. The dotted line is small circle added to the stage (and to an array) every half a second at the object's position.
First I add the circles to the stage, when the object stops moving I remove them from the stage.
This, however, only works twice, after that it throws a "display object must be a child of the caller" warning.
ActionScript Code:
public class Path extends MovieClip {
var tInterval:Timer=new Timer(50,500);
var pathArray:Array=new Array ;
[Code].....
I've currently got an array made up of Movie Clips, and a variable to tell us how long that array is. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var coinArray:Array = [coin1, coin2]; //an array which contains all of the coins
var numCoinArray:int = coinArray.length; //how many objects are in the coinArray
I've got a function called collisionTest which tests a collision between two objects.
So, I've got a loop set-up so if my character and a coin collides, it removes the coin it collided with from an array. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
function coinCollect(evt:Event)
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < numCoinArray; i++)
{
[Code].....
Is this trying to reference my objects as something other than MovieClips and is finding them and not recognizing them? I'm completely lost on this and can't understand why it doesn't work.
i'm making a mini-game (part of a larger game) where worms pop up randomly on the screen. You can click on a spraycan do remove them all at once. After that it should repeat itself. But during the second wave, when I press my spraycan, it doesn't work anymore and it gives me this error:

I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).How do i remove a specific item from within an array?

so here goes the description of what i'm (trying) to make : i want to make a slideshow with AS 3, it will load external image which the location will be written in xml after it has load all the image it will play by itself and change beetwen image with transition.. well i manage to : read the xml, load the picture one by one and convert it into a bitmap tipeafter convert it to a bitmap tipe data i save it into an arrayafter all the image has been laoded , converted into bitmap and saved into array to display the image itself i first add the the image which has been save into the array to the container that i specially made to hold this (well actually because transition manager can only have effect on MovieClip).
myMCContainer.addChild(myImageArray[imageIndex]); that's how i display it (of course i have added "myMCContainer to the stage").
well the real problem is when i tried to use remove child fo myMCContainer it give me error #2025, and when i tried to check number of child that myMCContainer has it returned 0 even after adding the image...

I need to remove every object that is part of an array from the stage. What I have right now only removes one of the objects.
this.removeChild(enemyList.splice(0)[0]);
I've tried several variations of this with either the same result or an error. Also, what is the zero in hard brackets for? I haven't seen that in many tutorials/explanations, but when I take it out, I get all kinds of errors.
