i'm trying to setup a 2D array, but not geting very far. here's a simple bit of sample code i've got.
Code:
var temp:Array = new Array();
temp[0] = [1,3];
temp[1] = [2,4];
temp[2] = [3,6];
trace(temp[1][2]);
as far as i understand, that trace should output 4. but instead it gives me undefined

heres my code for making one class
cwall = function () {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
this.vwidth = 0;
this.vheight = 0;
};
_global.wall_A = new cwall();
what would i do to make _global.wall_A an array of classes? also how would i call them?(i.e is it like _global.wall_A[2].x=5
I have some buttons (dynamic mc's) set up with an ROLL_OVER/ROLL_OUT MouseEvent handler and have put them in an array.
Code:
var btnArray:Array = [];
for(var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var bg:Bg = new Bg();
bg.width = 173;
bg.height = 20;
bg.x = 25;
bg.y = (22 * i) + 40;
bg.name = "bg"+i;
[Code] .....
The problem is I can't seem to target the dtr mc's (Dot) at all even when they're in an array. Anyone have any strategies I can use to make this concept finally work? I've been able to do it as long as the dot mc's are a child of the button mc's, but I don't want the rollOver/rollOut effects to effect the child, therefore the separation.
I wanted to setup an array of movieclip buttons to navigate across my timeline via labels, this is where it went pear shaped.
Having spent three days reading and attempting most online solutions I couldn't find a method which worked 100% without failing in some way or another.
I've had some joy with the method below having seen a blog entry covering different ways to call frames etc and which highlighted the bugbear below :
clipArray[i].mouseChildren = false; //Hidden bugbear
I've added the full code below so hopefully it may help anyone else who similarly nearly resorted to hari-kari in trying this.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var clipArray:Array = [btn_1,btn_2]; // Movieclip's called btn_1 etc...
[Code]....
This works fine, now however my understanding of whether it is 'good' code or not is an issue, if this could be improved in any way I'd like to know why and how as the problem with learning AS3 from 2 is that often you use code having seen it online without fully grasping the detail.
Adding MovieClip buttons with fluidity and which cancel out from an array became a three day mission when you're learning...

I'm making a dialogue based flash game.When a player clicks the right response I want them to gain/lose points.What is the best way to accomplish this?I'm in need of correct code/script because the way I'm doing things now doesn't work.
The buttons that allow for a gain/loss of points are inside of movie clips and are also on different layers, so I thought using a global variable would allow for editing it anywhere,but when I click the buttons that //should// make the player lose or win points, the value does not change, either that or I get a "NaN" in my dynamic text box.

_global.love = 0
The code I'm using right now;

I also want it to go if it is small caps verses large. How do I put all in one statement or do I have to do it this way. How do I put this in a text file if I have multiple passwords going to different pages. So as you see below if they put in password1,PASSWORD1,cash,CASH this all goes to page1.html If this put in password2,PASSWORD2 it goes to page2.html[code]...

View 1 RepliesI've watched a really helpful tutorial on FB4.5 for PHP by Mihai Corlan and am hoping to use some of his techniques but would like to use a different PHP server because Zend Server costs money and I'd rather avoid polluting my workstation with still more daemon-type services. I've set up numerous Debian and CentOS servers from scratch and would like to configure FB4.5 for PHP so that I can debug both my Actionscript and PHP. Has anyone done this? I could certainly used advice from someone who's gone through all the trouble already. I'd very much like to capitalize on all of the ways that FB4.5 automatically generates code and creates links for you rather than writing all that stuff by hand.

View 1 RepliesWe are trying to setup FMS so that a section of videos for streaming are restricted to a specific network, while other videos would be available to all to stream. According to what I read, this is best restricted by means of a vhost. However, I've spent 3 days trying to get a vhost to work and am thoroughly stumped.Our current configuration for the _defaultVHost_ is: within vhost.xml, it points the apps dir to ${VHOST.APPSDIR} which points to the default install location. The VOD_DIR within fms.ini points to a separate location: d:contentflash.

I have two scenes so far, and I have a transition set up that takes you from the first scene to the next from pressing a button. There is not much on the second scene yet since I just started working on it, but the problem I have is the first scene is not cleared. I can still see the entirety of the first scene behind the few objects I have placed for the second one, and if I click anywhere it goes back to the first scene. How do I move from scene 1 to scene 2 and wipe everything clean with the exception of global variables obviously.
View 8 RepliesI'm pretty new to the action script side of things, but am starting to get the hang of it. I've been following a computer arts tutorial to set up a dynamic xml portfolio, which has been going well, however the problem is the tutorial is just for a one page portfolio, when I try and link more than one page I hit a problem, the menu info on first won't go away.
What it needs is a line or two of code that closes the previous movie clip, when a new one is loaded, if any of you out there can help with this I'd be massively grateful - this problem has literally had me pulling out hair for the last week.
here is the relevant bit of code, if it helps I can upload the fla and xml too.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to setup an application that has certain movieclips that have to chance position depending on a selected option. The application basically has the main stage with a movieclip called "Options" and a movieclip called "Objects". The selected options in the movieclip "Options" define what positions the movieclips in the "Objects" movieclip have later on.
I figured that I had to script it so that if I click "Option 1" in the "Options" movieclip, that it defined 2 variables called "option1_x" and option1_y" and when selecting Object 1 in the movieclip "Objects", that it would set the X and Y values of "Object 1" to .x=object_x and .y=object_y
However, I'm rather new to AS3 (read: very new) and I'm struggling to figure out how to get this to work, because my attempts so far have been.. rather bad.What I have right now is this for the "Options" movieclip:
Code:
var object_x:Number=0;
var object_y:Number=0;
option01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click01);

The one thing that was never covered (that I read) was how to set up your library. As a result, I have been guilty of starting a project folder and copy/pasting all of the classes I need into each project folder. (As a result I have like 30 copies of TweenLite on my PC). I have done some searching, but the topic seems elusive... I have also read where most people use a reverse web address format (e.g., "com.site.page"). So my questions: Is there a standard way of setting up a library for your classes?WHERE does the "com" folder live on the directory (ex: c:com, or c:Adobecom, etc).How do YOU have your library set up?
