Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
Is there a way to temporarily suppress this on a specific block of code? I am creating a HUGE dynamic 3d array of objects, 1000x1000x1000 and need the build to actually finish the initializing.
Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com {
public class CreateList extends MovieClip {
//this is the object I will be recycling
private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

I would like to add a bunch of cars to the stage, and store them in an array as objects. The problem is I hate using external AS files and would like to keep it as simple as possible.I tried doing :
var car:Object = {carcolor:String,carscale:Number,carpower:Number};
var test:Array = new Array()
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++) {
test.push(car)
}
The problem is if I try to set a value of one object in the like test[1].carscale = 5
Every object in the array gets their attribute carscale set to 5.Is there any way I can do this without using external class files?
I've tried to make 2d Array. I need to make 2d array of objects(CheckBox). My code is:

for (var j:uint=0;i<5;i++) {
var b:Array=new Array();

I have a XML document that has 8 main sections, and under each section there is a number of sub sections and under each of those sections their is a number of sub sections and then one more level. I am trying to create one main multi-dimensional array that can reference the particular sub section. For example by using this notation:
"_global.Link_arr[main section id][sub section level 1][subsection level2][sub section level 3].link " (or _global.Link_arr[0][0][0][1].link)"
Is this possible to do with the following script.
_global.Link_arr = [];
navBtn.subfolder = category[i].childNodes;
var l:Number;
var subArrNum:Number = 0;

I do not know how to create an array within a multidimensional array like I am doing?
I have a quick question for you all. I'm trying to convert over some ActionScript code to C++ and am having a difficult time with this one line:
private var edges:Vector.<Array> What is this exactly? Is this essentially a multidimensional vector then? Or is this simply declaring the vector as a container? I understand from researching that vectors, like C++ vectors, have to be declared with a type. However, in C++ I can't just put down Array, I have to use another vector (probably) so it looks like:
I don't expect you guys to know the C++ equivalent because I'm primarily posting this with AS tags, but if you could confirm my understand of the AS half, that would be great. I did some googling but didn't find any cases where someone used Array as it's type.
I have some code that initializes an array (arrQAnswer) that stores what button the user clicked on (0,1,2, or 3). That option it put into arrQAnswer, then compared against arrCorrectAnswer to see if the user got the question right. The problem is that for each time the user clicks on a button, they are taken to a new screen to display feedback based on the answer of the question. If the user gets the question wrong they are returned to the original screen and try again. This is where arrQAnswer is screwing up (or more likely, where I am screwing up). On the first question where the user chooses an answer, then returns to that screen, arrQAnswer re-intializes. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Note that it only happens on the first question, I think that is because the first question is on the same frame as the code (below):

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend.

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);
trace(i);

I am trying to create a library of transition effects. Each transition type or preset is its own class. In the Client/Main class I would like to create the transition type I need based off a static constant, hoping to save myself from having to write a long switch statement to select which type of transition class to instantiate.[code]I am not using the getDefinitionByName utility correctly, what am I missing here? Is there a different way to achieve class instantiation by passing in the name of the class as a string.
View 9 Repliesthis is a wierd problem I am facing in flash I need to create a dynamic global variable where the variable's name is stored in another variable. say I need to create a global variable , _global.fam , but "fam" is stored in a variable temp="fam";

Now, I have a file, prefs.elf, that contains my preferences in the following formatlocation:USAaccountID:48996151894Now, what I'm hoping to be able to do is create an object with the labels as the object.So, I have an object, preferences, which I'd like to be able to get at these values through - like this: preferences.email or preferences.location. can read the file and toss these in an array really easily, but I'd like to do it a little more eleganty with objects.My main question is, how do I create the sub-objects to hold the value? In other words, how would I create preferences.location, or preferences.accountID without explicity specifying them in my code
View 2 Repliesi've had good feedback and help from these forums before so thought i'd pick your brains again...
I'm looking at making a sim/game based around random results. The experiment im supporting has (for example) 100 rubber ducks in a bag, you pick out 30 and mark them with a cross and place them back in the bag. Then you pick another 30 and note how many of the marked ducks you have found again.
I have some knowledge of Flash and have managed to make a random dice simulator and a few others. I figure the best way is to forget about manually marking the ducks but instead have a drop down box where you can sellect how many of the 100 will be marked.Then have an action button which produces the results (in numbers?) underneath each corresponding duck (1 normal yellow, one marked).
I have an object calls "level" and I want to create random number of objects with random position on the stage.
I've reached how to create random position but I still have only 1 object "level" on my stage.
I've got four arrays which I want to use to create objects on the stage.
The first one is what the Object Class is called.
The second one is what I want the instance name to be.
The third and fourth relate to the x and y co-ordinates respectively.
ActionScript Code:
var objectName:Array = [Background, Frame, Up, Down, SideBar, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, Titles,
TimeBar, TimeBarSlider, Stop, Play, Pause, ThumbnailOutline, Thumbnail];
var instanceName:Array = [bg, frame, up, down, sideBar, yellow, green, pink, blue, titles,
TimeBar, timeBarSlider, stopBtn, playBtn, PauseBtn, thumbnailOutline, thumbnail];
[Code] .....
The "i" would relate to the parameters for the same object. So, if i = 0, then the Object Class Name would be: 'Background', the instance name would be 'bg', the x position would be '0', and the y position would '0'. What code would I need in the for loop to create this?
I've started using the 3D capabilities of Flash CS4 recently, particularly with respect to transforming the rotation and translation properties of movie clips with AS3. Which is fine for planar shapes, but I want to know how to create true 3D objects that I can similarly manipulate. The problem is, that although there are plenty of excellent tutorials covering simple changes in X, Y and Z properties, there seems to be a distinct lack of tutorials explaining in simple terms how to go about creating, say, a basic cube that can be displayed and transformed dynamically. Adobe's Flash CS4 files mention perspective projection and the Matrix3D object, but I don't find these section particularly clear. What I would like to do, for starters, is create a simple cube to which I can apply x, y and z axis transformations in the same way I can to movie clips.

How do I write a combination of XML declarations and Actionscript classes such that I can initialize each of my three lists from XML?
note that I am not trying to populate a Flex UI element (such as a DataGrid) with the various number-name pairs. I'm just trying to read the data into a plain old vanilla collection. (Once I've got my collections initialized, I can populate DataGrids or whatever at my leisure.) I can't find any documentation of how to address this super-simple case. The documentation all assumes that I'm trying to do something much more complicated, such as accessing a remote database, which confuses the issue tremendously.
