ActionScript 3.0 :: Use String Or Array To Compile Total Numeric Value?
Nov 13, 2010
I am building a remote control, and when i enter txt, right now i can "change the channel" only for a single value 1-9. the way it functions is you hit the number, then an enter button, and the channel changes. The problem is I want to able to enter 2 digits, and the way i have it coded now, it adds the the numbers together instead of reading 1 as 2 , 2 as 4 and so on, here is the code, I'm thinking i should use an array, or a string to get the proper value, but when i use the "+" sign it still adds the number together, how would i express, so it sees 11 as eleven etc?
ActionScript Code:
function storePad(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var aNum:Number = Number(evt.target.name.substr(4))
nTest = 1 //numeric sTest = " test" //string sFinal = nTest & sTest //string I get an error with this, because sFinal is a string, and im tryin to put in an numeric value. How can I create this code so that it will work? I want the sFinal to contain "1 test". This code is useless, I know, but this is just an example.
I have an mc.instance name is Twentysecond it has a text box called label When clicked Twentysecond populates a text box and I want to use this code Flash will not let me use an instance name of 22nd.
TwentySecond.label = _name;//(I want this to show 22) onRelease = function(){ myTextBox = _name; // (I want this to show 22nd }
I should know how to do this, but memory is failing.
I'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
I`ve got one combobox wich items are named as alfabetic stringsThen one input textfield where u inser numbersThen in the third element on stage (dynamix textfield) wher the result of the calculation is displayed.The problem is that when i try to transform the text string into a numeric value like this it dosent work (example for giving the string "Leds " a value of 300):
var myNumber:Number = 300; var myString:String = "Leds" (myNumber) This is the rest of the code without the conversion from text to number working good but
I have made a form and want to check valid data i.e if alpanumeric value is req. user cannot enter numeric value and vice versa. I found no inbuilt fn. in flash which could detect whether the entered value is string or numeric.
I I have an alpha-numeric string as a variable. I would like to extract (from left to right) all of the numbers from the string and then push them into an array. Below, is what I have going so far, but it stops after the first number it meets. I was under the impression that the RegExp.exec runs through the entire string before stopping.
var testMenu:RegExp = /d/; var whichTarget:String = me.target.name[code]..........
when I trace my array, it is just filled with the first number that is encountered. So, in the two examples above the array beomes [1] (when the string that is executed is "menu1sub2hypo3" and then [3] when the string that is executed is "menu3sub4hypo8". It craps out after the first number is reached.What I really want is that the array gets filled with [1, 2, 3] in the first example and [3, 4, 8] in the second example. How in Helsinki would I do that? Does the exec function need to be looped in any way?
Not so important right now but thinking a little down the line: what regular expression would I need to find "25" instead of just "2" if I run this RegExp.exec on a string that may look like this "menu25sub3hypo6"?
im trying to use array.length to get the total indexs of the array, before running a loop on all of thoes indexs when i attempt to do this(i added a few extra things for the sake of debugging and understanding)
ActionScript Code: var selectcharacternames:URLVariables = new URLVariables(evt.target.data); trace(selectcharacternames)[code]....
does array.length not work with url variables is it possible to turn url variables into a array(im assuming it is not a array as a reason why this doesnt work)
I have a button on the screen with the the following code attached to it's release function.

No matter how i sort the dataTag array it never puts the information into the respective order. The 10XXX figures always come ahead of the preceeding numerals. Anyone come across this before who can point me in the right direction?
I am loading data from an xml file into several different arrays. Once its all information is in the arrays I then sort one of the arrays (called percentage) numerically from highest to lowest. What I can't figure out is how to reflect the changes in position in the other arrays to what has happened in the percentage array.
i have an array that i basically load from a csv file. i have a function below that test every number for the value if is a number.[code]the problem im having is that when it reads the array is reading ",15" instead off "15" how do i remove a character from an array ? i dont want to remove the whole element just a character.
I started to mess up with classes to see how they work, and I'm having some troubleI'm trying to do a class where the user gives an array, and a number. The result is a trace of random X numbers, according to the number the user requested. If he/she types 3, the class gives 3 numbers.It works nice, but when I try to put an sort(Array.NUMERIC), i get this error:
PHP Code: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert undefined to Function. at Array$/_sort() at
I'm saving several arrays into a SharedObject and I'm able to read them back fine from the SharedObject when the movie loads. However, one of these arrays contains numbers instead of strings, and the contents of this numeric array show up as 'undefined' when read back from the SharedObject.
I've been searching for ever for a solution to sort a numeric array that I create from an xml file. All I can sort is the first digit of each number. So I get this for example: 4,4,4,3,23,2,2,10,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,023 should be first! How to I fix that?Here is my code:
How would you go about initializing a Vector. with say the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Logic would say you could do newVector = new Vector. ( [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] );
You could also try something like this...
var tmp = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; newVector = new Vector.(); newVector = newVector.concat(tmp);
But then you get a type error converting Array to Vector.
I'm stumped, am I missing something stupid or does the vector class really not play well with numeric types? You can try making them decimal numbers just to be sure they get cast as number and not int.
While a for loop runs through all the elements in an array I want to get the width of each element and add it to the sum of the width of all previous elements.
I have an advanced data grid. The data provider for this ADG is an ArrayCollection. There is a grouping collection on an ID field of this AC. Example of a couple items within this AC the AC var name is "arcTemplates":
(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0 filterFunction = (null) length = 69 list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#1
[code]....
Problem: In my AC example there are a few items, items 0, 32 and 56 properly sort and group to their templateTypeID, but item 55 does something weird. It seems to sort/group on the numeric 5 instead of the string "5". Gets stranger. If I change the name property to contain text (so 1234x) it then correctly sorts/groups to the string "5"
I am looking for a way to check if any sting of the Array is matched to the string that in the TextField. In the code it should be something like that:
Code: var TestString:Array = new Array ("chicken", "cat", "dog"); function LookStringArray(){ if (TestArrayTextfield_txt.text == (anyString.TestString)){
I feel like this should be really easy, but I don't get what I need to do.I have a value bgW[j] stored in "j" equaling a number.But I can't seem to get it to register as a number.What commonly needs to happen to convert this value into a numeric datatype?I've tried a bunch of stuff: eval, parseInt, multiplying it by 1.
I have two arrays. One contains numbers and the other contains strings. I want to do a sortOn(DECENDING) for the number array and then have the string array sort to match. if my string array is
I put my mc's in an array.I have another array with strings.when the mc is clicked I want to get its position in the mc array and return the string from the same position in the string array.How do I do that?

I have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.
I'm using Flash Develop to build an as3 application using the Flex compiler. In the constructor of a particular class I have written the following code
Code: //constructor public function Test(par1:int, arr:/*int*/Array = [1, 2]){ <----- compiler shows error here
There is probably no way for this but does anyone know a method of excluding certain functions from a build by use of a meta tag and or compiler option?I want to expose some functions for testing but not have them bloat the application on production. I could create separate testing classes and test for a complier directive or option and only load them if necessary but I like the idea of having the test function on the actual object (in the class).
I know this questions is going to have an easy obvious answer but i have spent over two days now trying to do it with no luck (I am a Flex newbie)Basically i am trying to open a webView that will open google maps to the location in an array
The location comes from data in an array taken from facebook events (that works fine and will display the data) but i am struggling with passing this information to the webView.loadURL string
The data i want in the array is 'data.location' (the code i am having issues with is in the itemrenderer towards the bottom of the code snippet)[code]...
i am a new learner of as and wanna to parse the str:String="tom||boy||16**suan||girl||18**" for a new array to be put into a datagrid, like a table. it is supposed to split "**" firstly to array, then to split array's item by "||". but i am stuck here. do not know how to do that.my code is below, but not does not work.
var str:String="tom||boy||16**suan||girl||18**" arr1=str.split("**") trace(arr1[0])
I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:&myVar=charlie,dog,cat,test&I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like thismyArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];
I'm trying to use a string from a split command as the var name of a new array the string being split is spec0[1][400] where spec0 becomes the new array name after the split.How should i write this.....P.S. the ultimate goal is to take the string split it up and make a new array out of its split data......is this realistic?
PHP Code: trace(loader.data.spec0); var str:String = loader.data.spec0;
