In the beginning of the code I have this code to hide the bombs(movieclips). I have all my movieclips visible on the scen in the game, I'm not using addChild.
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 10; i++){
sBomb_[i].visible = false;
}
Before I used Arrays I had ten instances on the scen with different numbers, but how will I do know to get the instances into the variables and into the game?
I got a ton of movieclips in a class. Is there a more efficient way to apply a function to every instance in the class other than this?
var textArray:Array = [
interludes.interludeIntro.interludeBegin1,
interludes.interludeIntro.interludeBegin2,
[Code]....
I have NO idea why the above doesn't work. I want to turn every single instance in the class interludeIntro invisible, but I want to turn specific instances visible later.

how to compare two arrays for matching numbers? One array is called randomNumberArray and hold 7 numbers in it, and the other myArray_array which hold 6 numbers in it.
Once they have compared how do I then display messages depending on how many numbers have matched. so lets say less then 3 numbers are matches I'd want it to display on the interface 'Sorry you have not matched at least 3 numbers'.
my code.
ActionScript Code:
var _num:Number = 0;
function chek_Arrays()
{
[code]....
Its intention is to compare the two arrays for matching numbers and depending on how many matches there are display a message.
But even though no error messages come up in the compiler error section, no messages displays on the stage where it should be.
In case it helps array 'numersChosen' is from another piece of script in this application, would I need to reference it?
Ok can anyone give me a hand ?
I have this code that's meant to compare two arrays for matching numbers. Depending on how many matches there are, a certain message will be displayed in a dynamic text field. But for some reason it's not working, can anyone figure out why?
ActionScript Code:
var _num:Number = 0;
function compare_Arrays() {
for(var i = 0; i < numbersChosen.length; i++) {
for (var k = 0; k < randomArray.length; k++) {
if (numbersChosen[i] == randomArray[k]) {

I have made a very simple custom class for keeping track of groups of offices for a company. The class has a Number variable to tell it how many different offices there are, and an Array to store the individual offices by name. It looks like this.
class officeCluster{
static var _className:String = "officeCluster";
// variables var numOffices:Number;
var locationArray:Array = new Array();
// functions function officeCluster() {
trace("officeCluster constructor");
}}
Now, it is my understand that when I create different instances of the class, they will each have their own version of "numOffices" and their own version of "locationArray". When I run traces of "numOffices", this seems to be true. For example,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.numOffices);
trace(servicesOfficeCluster.numOffices);
yields
5
4
In the output panel, which is correct. However, there is trouble with the locationArray. It seems that as I assign different values to it, regardless of what instance I specify, there is only ONE array- NOT one for each instance. In other words,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
// theLocation is a String. The locationArray itself holds Objects.trace(servicesOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
Is anyone aware of any issues partaining to using Arrays within Class instances? I've been able to work around this by creating multiple arrays within the class and using a different one for each instance, but this seems very sloppy.
I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on rendering large numbers of identicalanimated instances. The first step we undertook was to separate out the parts of the instance which are static and render flag them cache as bitmap. However I was wondering if there was a way of rendering the same object multiple times without the player having to recalculate the animations separately for each etc?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game engine with a friend of mine, we plan to make it open source so other people can use it too for their own games. We basically have everything done, but I really want to add multiple ground instance support. I would like to use an Array, to call upon all ground layers on the stage, and put it into one call name for my gravity function. So I wouldn't have to have various strings for each ground instance.
Code:
var groundArray:Array = [ground, ground2, ground3];
var groundtile:MovieClip = groundArray[1];
addChild(groundtile);
This is my gravity..

What I have so far works perfect without arrays.. When I add my above array, I don't get any errors.. but I fall through the ground.
I have neither the capacity nor the integrity to overcome as3, how to build a system wherein if I were to press movieclip instances in a certain order, would move me to a certain frame if I did. I am trying to do this without making 100 eventlisteners and relying on an array instead. If I could say anything about how as3 is about implementation of values, I'd say it's a bit like using the titanic to deliver a piece of cheese on toast, but I guess what I need to know specifically is
How to make a function that relies on a certain set of array values.
How to splice that entire array after the array reaches a certain number of values.
How to move to frame 2 if the array does possess the correct values.
How to stay on frame 1 if it does not.
So far I have
var inacertainorder:Array = new Array();
var i:*;
i = 0;
function toframetwo(event:MouseEvent)
{gotoAndPlay(2)};
if(inacertainorder[i] == "0,1,2")
{stop();}
else inacertainorder.splice[i>3]
{gotoAndStop(2);};
how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

View 8 RepliesI am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
create a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.
Everything seems to be a string right now & that kinda ruins the whole xml as an internal data structure thing, I don't need a big tree of string I need typed data :-/ Are there any changes I can make to either my XML files or my AS3 code that will force it to cast ints as ints and Numbers as Numbers? Or maybe some kind of type schema I can impose? Not really worked with XML til recently so chances are I'm just ignorant of the canonical way to deal with this...
View 4 RepliesI have a problem with my input text fieldsI to type numbers with commas like "2,5" but flash only allows me to type numbers with dots, like "2.5"
In Sweden where I live we only use commas on numbers.
Now I have some input textfields that I must change so they work with commas instead of dots.
What I have is 5 input boxes (*input1,input2,input3,input4,input5) and one dynamic text box (*total).
So I add input 1 and input2. Then subtract input3-5 for my total of 49.99 and my incorrect always fires.

it all works fine apart from this line here where its adding the old "numberstore" in with "number2" to create the new "numberstore". I've tried all different combinations to get this to work, but all i keep getting is e.g. 1+1 = 11 not 1+1=2.
I have 12 icons for example, and each icon have a number and I want (when each one is selected) to make the total of them.
Example:
bublle1 = 12%
bublle2 = 24% when i click this too the total number should appear on screen 36%
How do I add numbers in Actionscript 3? I have two dynamic texts
totalscore.text = "3"; and
myscore.text = "2";
I'm trying to add them like this
totalscore.text += myscore.text;
And I get this answer 32 instead of 5 it just attaches them instead of adding. why? I also tried it like this
var my_score:Number = myscore.text;
totalscore.text += my_score;
But it still attaches them numbers together instead of adding.
