[code]I've tried some various things (including "this"), but basically, I need to loop through data held in arrays to create several dynamically named functions on the the fly.
View 1 RepliesI have 35 textboxes with the names "t1" to "t35". How would I call these names in a for loop? I have tried this with no luck:

I know I'm doing something wrong with the ("t"+i) but I dont know how how to combine a string and number like that.
I have a simple array of movie clips ("box1" "box6") that I have created on the stage. I then have a simple onRollOver function that is iterated for each of these movie clips, as shown below. As it is now it's working fine, but I can forsee two potential problems for when I use larger arrays and apply this technique to my real working files.
If I were to have many more movie clips, the first line of code would be much longer as it lists each movie clip instance name. Is there a way to use, for example, a for loop to include all these movie clips in the array without having to type out all their names? As you can see here, I have used a simple numerically-incremented naming process. I think the problem may be that I am using movie clips with instance names assigned on the stage and not created through ActionScript.The function as I have created it makes all the movie clips gotoAndStop(1) and then the one that has been rolled over goes to frame 2. Is there a way of making all the movie clips in the array except the one that has been rolled over gotoAndStop(1), ie. is it possible to exclude the rolled-over movie clip from the first part of the function? Here it works just fine as it is, but I'm thinking that maybe when I start using more complex functions with tweens etc it may cause problems. Or not?

I am writing my quest .as files for my RPG that I am making. At the present moment I am having issues with certain commands and how best to accomplish them. This pertains to my conversation system that I have in place. Currently, the conversations are stored as an array, with each index in the array representing a different "page" of the conversation. Now for my quests, at the end of each conversation (the last index in the array), I want a certain function to occur (receiving the quest, updating the quest, completing the quest). So my thought is to have a separate array with the same number of elements as the conversation array, and when the conversation text is updated to reflect the next page, it also will access the function array with that given index, and therefore only on the last page of the conversation will the function be executed.
Code:
var a:Array = [func0, func1, func2];
function func0():void{
trace(0);[code].....
Now my question is this, when is the code actually executed? When it is placed within the array, or when it is accessed with the for statement?
I've got an array (slides) that I parsed from an amfphp return that contains the following data in each array element:
slides = (chapterName, lessonName, slideName, slideText), for every slide in the course
I'm trying to get arrays out this that will look like:
chp1Array = list of Lesson names in that Chapter
chp1Less1Array = list of slide names in that Lesson
chp1Less2Array
chp2Array
chp2Less1Array
chp2Less2Array
chp2Less3Array
etc. etc.
This wouldn't be a problem in as2 but I can't get it to work in AS3 because it gives me errors when I try to create the arrays with dynamic names from within the function? How to get the dynamic number into the array name...
I have been trying to assign tween function in an array through a loop in as3.I have 20 mc on stage, the instance names are obj1, obj2 and so on.I want to assign a tween function to each of them, the function looks like this :
Actionscript Code:
function startTween(e:TweenEvent = null):void {xTween = new Tween(obj1, "x", None.easeNone, obj1.x, Math.random()*20, 0.2, true);

what I'm trying to do is to get 4 movieclipps (leaf1, leaf2, leaf3, leaf4) to play the sound that is attached to them when is dragged onto another movieclip (NatureTarget) and the play button is pressed so that the sounds are played in the order they are dragged on. I know I need to use an array and the push function and a loop...
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering which is faster in AS3:
array.forEach( function(v:Object, ...args):void
{ ... } );
Or
var l:int = array.length;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < l; i++ ) { ... }
I want to loop through an array of mc's, and assign each a onRelease function. I have the following code but the trace inside the function doesn't seem to find the array.I understand why but what is the correct way of doing this?
ActionScript Code:
var theArray:Array = new Array();
var j:Array = new Array();[code].......
If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have a set of 15 buttons on my stage. Trying to use an array with loop to quickly populate a new array with the instance names of my buttons, then add eventlisteners to all of them quickly too. And yes, I do have the Handler functions written out too, but I didn't include, because the error I'm getting is "TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function"
and the error keeps pointing to each of of the eventListeners within my for loop.Its saying that each of those eventListeners is a value that is not a function. ?
var btnList:Array = new Array();
var numBtns:int = 15;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < numBtns; i++)[code]......
i was searching for the solution all over the internet but could not find the way to solve this problem . I have a loop in which i want to assign one property value ( in this case value of several numeric stepper components) to one array spot. Unfortunetaly i cant figure out how to change the property name acording to number of the loop. Here is an example.
Code:
hours0.value = 5;
hours1.value = 6;

I have 8 text boxes (called h1, h2 etc) that I want to do things with, the code below is just to make them all invisible when the movie loads,this works:

}

I'm trying to imitate the spining preloader that fades as it rotates and I can't remember how to name each of the lines that are created with this code so I can later add the script to modifiy their independent alpha as it turns.
I don't know wether I need to create another function or what to do...
var numLines:Number = 12;
var extRadAsterisc:Number = 20;
var intRadAsterisc:Number = 10;
var centreX:Number = 110;

I have a few functions that accept several parameters. [code]...
Is there a way to loop through all the params (without knowing how many or their names) and put them in some kind of an array with their names, so I'd get an associative array [code]...
i want to query about a point here,
Now, When i make a loop for example a "for" loop
ActionScript Code:
var i:int;
for (i=0;i<4;i++){
// Looping Code For 4 Times
}
in the looping code, when i use a variable, for example "myVar"
Can i make the variable name be "myVar0" in the first time looping, and the name be "myVar1" in the second time looping, and so on ..
how could I make a simple loop which loops through the childrens of specific movie clip and add each of them instance name lets say "iname", since I have movie clip in which childrens are not added by code.
And if I'm sure I could acces those childrens then by code like iname.x = 100?
I can't create new variables within a for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
Still learning how to use for loops, I want to set a huge range of Boolean Variable to false. like:
var met0:Boolean = false;
var met1:Boolean = false;
var met2:Boolean = false;
etc... etc...
how can I dynamically name variables inside a for loop and set its data type? I know how to with movieclips but can't get it to work with variables
I have a few MCs named fruit1, fruit2, fruit3, all instanced off a MC...I would like to loop to shorten my code and just loop through and stop all of them at once... My Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=7;i++){
fruit[i].stop();
}
I get an 1120: Access of undefined property fruit.I want the result of my loop to do:
fruit1.stop();
fruit2.stop();
etc..
How can I create several tweens with different names in a for-loop?
I want to create one tween named tween0, one tween named tween1 etc. up to tween9.
Like this: (This doesn't work)
Code:

var ["tween" + i]:Tween = new Tween(...);
}

how do you turn the s[z] into something like s1 - s2 or s3 ? i just want different movie clip names for each loop..
The problem is referencing object names dynamically in AS3, in a loop. Example. I have an array called c4 which i would like to reference like this:
I have a number
var x:Number = 4
How can I do something like
trace(["c"+x].length);
(I know this is wrong!)
Same with other objects
E.g. Movieclip called mc4
["mc"+x].x = 100;
