The Action script code below takes the strings in the array (pgtit) and creates a dynamic navigation bar I am trying to trace the index number of the array being click I just seem to get -1.
var pgtit:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var xPos = 0;
var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild(menuHolder);

I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:
[Code]...
I want to know the index number of the object when I clicked it..
trace(mc.getChildAt(0)) = display the object at the index 0 lets say the output is [object] button
now I want to reverse it..
when i click the object button
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick)
function onClick(e:MouseEvent)
{
[Code]....
I want to know the index number of the object when I clicked it..
trace(mc.getChildAt(0)) = display the object at the index 0 lets say the output is [object] button
Now I want to reverse it. When I click the object button
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick)
function onClick(e:MouseEvent){
trace(e.currentTarget.????????)
//I want to trace what index number is that button, the output should be "0"
}
I copied some code over to a similar function, which traces out the array index number using indexof(e.target).For some reason I'm getting the usual undefined property errors, but it is tracing other properties in the array using e.target?[code]
View 9 RepliesI am trying to trace an index number from an array.
I know this must be about as simple as it gets, but I just cant figure it out.
I know the contents of the array are all asighned a number begining with 0.
I need to find out the index number of a thumbnail when you click on it.
Code:
function whenThumbsLoad(event:Event):void{
var thisThumbsLink:String = clipPathList[ c ];
var thisThumbsTitle:String = clipTitleList[ c ];
[Code].....
I know I can trace the thisThumbsLink and get that, but all I need is it's index number. Also I trace(c); and I get how many there are, but I just don't know what to trace to find the index number.
i used a for loop to addChild of a class object(movieclip) to the stage and at the end line of for loop after addChild i push it into an array and i add eventlistener to it , such as
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 9; i++) {
.....
clip = new CLIP;
......
[Code]....
and if i want to get the array number which currently accessing how can i do that ? for example, i drag one of the mc class from the array which has already added eventlistener above.
how can i get the number of the array which im accessing ? evt.target..... etc ?
I have a Array. I dont know how large the array is. How can I get index of the smallest number in the array? I know array contains only numbers.
View 5 RepliesFor instance:
PHP Code:
my_Array = new Array();
my_Array.push("one", "two", "three", "four")
Here's the catch: another variable (for instance) called "three" is loaded. I want to look up "three" in my_Array and retrieve the index-number (should be 2 of course). How can I accomplish that?
Say you have a class Parent, which has a property childArray:Array. In this array, we will register several instances of the class Child. Is there an easy way for a child to know which position in the array it currently has? I know I could just pass the index number into the child as I register them, but if a child were to be deleted from the array, all children past the deleted childs index would need to have their indexes updatedl. While this is of course not a huge task, I just have this feeling it should be a better and more dynamic solution.

I have created a set of MC's loaded from library via attachMovie in a for loop. Right now I have a set of MC's that are attached with the numbers 1-8. I would like to be able to select a MC and traces back its number. I know this can be achieved through an array. I know how to build arrays, but I do not know how to create an array what would trace back a number form a for loop.
Here is the code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("navClip",this.getNextHighestDepth());
for (i=0; i<8; i++) {
currentThumb = navClip.attachMovie("numberBox", "clip"+i, i, {_x:(i*50)});
currentThumb.imageNum.text = i+1;
navClip._x = (Stage.width/2)-(navClip._width/2);
currentThumb.onRelease = function() {
trace(currentThumb);
};}
I need it to call back in the onRelease the number associated with that clip(array).
So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
[code]I want to input a number and find a match for the number, returning the values on the row in to specific fields for each number. For example, if I input the number 10 in an input field, I want the number 1.2276, 0.00100, 106.38 and the rest of that row to output these values I have seen so many options, don't know where to start.
View 2 RepliesI have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

Anything I do to customerCheck treats it as if it were a new array. This is especially obvious when using customerCheck.push in addCharToCheck() -- the trace always shows a blank array before push and an array with one object in it after the push... then next time it does the same. I know I'm making some sort of fundamental error regarding the scope of the array within the class but I just cannot find any good information on how to fix it! Moving to AS3 (been coding it for all of about 3 weeks) is a nightmare so far, and it seems to be the 'easy' stuff that causes me problems
Is there a way to get the index of an array?
For instance, if I have an array:
buttons = Array("abc","def","ghi");
If I wanted to get the index dynamically of the string "ghi", could I do that with a certain function or piece of code?
I thought that there was a way to be able to name array indexes. Like instead of myArray[0], it could be myArray["tileFour"]. I thought that instead of using index numbers one could use index words.

I have a game map made of tiles, each tile is stored in an array called _tiles.The very each tile has a "plantable" parameter, which determines whether or not something can be placed on it.Then i loop through the array and check the position of each its elements against the mosue cursor, so I know which tile am I hovering with my mouse.
And it works pretty good. The problem is that even though I know what is the position of the tile I'm having the cursor on, I still lack the knowledge of what index is that tile. I simply can't tell where exactly in the array is placed this tile. I just know its position. The reason why I want to know the index of it, is because it's the only way for me to set a proper flag, namely whether it's plantable or not. Here's the code:

for(var j:int = 0; j < _tiles.length; j++)
