I'm trying to figure out if this is possible?lets say I'm trying to remove the value "3"
Code: Select allvar myArray:Array = new Array("1","2","3","4","5");
myArray.pop(); // removes the last value "5"
myArray.shift(); // removes the first value "1"
How do you remove the value 3 and still have the correct lenght?
Is there a way to delete a specific value in an array? For example, the array:"Banana Peel,Hippopotamus Leg,Computer Wire,Keyboard"Would there be any way to delete just "Computer Wire" from the array? I found the Array.splice thingy, but it seems that you need to know the index of the thing. Therefore i guess my question is: Is there any way to find the index of a particular value.In the thing I am making, the value could be at any index in the array (it is put in place by the user), so I could not just say Array.splice(2,1,)

So every 25 milliseconds, a block is being created and it pushed into an array. The for loop cycles through the array and moves the x by 1 for each object in the array. If the x reaches past 300 pixels, then I want to delete the object from the game entirely. The way I'm doing it now yields an error, so what am I doing wrong and what should it look like inside of the "if (i.x > 300)" stuff?
var my_arr:Array =['das',2,jack',4,5];i need to delete the element by refering thier index number.

I'm making a very short text adventure, not one that will be all that fun, but just so I can learn a little as3. So I was designing a system that splits the persons input into an array of words, and then goes through and takes out unimportant words like "on." To test this out, I quickly (and messily) coded it up, and the only thing you can do is sit on a box. but it doesn't seem to be working. if you type "sit box" it works, but "sit on box" does not.

how to delete an element from an associative array? Splice doesn't work and I tried using the delete action but this doesn't produce the desired result....the element's properties become undefined.

How to remove any element from that array when instead of indexes we have names; such as kamil or madzia. pop, shift, slice, splice and so on... dont work at all.

myArray[0] = "value 0";

I'm working on a game for my flash class, where you a question pops up and asks you the name of a US state and you guess the state. I have created the 50 states as buttons with the questions. Each state is in its own frame and i need a way to randomly select a state.
After the game begins i need to crate an array with the frames of all states and then have a random() function select a frame from the array and display the question on the screen. After that it needs to delete the frame from the array so the random() function cannot select the same question twice. Once that is done and all of the data is gone from the array then it needs to move on to a different frame where the total number of questions correct is calculated and its display on the screen.
So there is a problem now. Lets show some code:
x = new Array();
x['kamil'] = new Object();
x['kamil'].name = "kamil";
[code].....
does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:

9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
i have an image and it is a large sheet with series of poses for a character (like a sprite sheet), and wanted to take them out to be animated and make them into individual movie clips.I did successfully, but I went to delete the original image, however, the movie clips became red fills.Is there a way I can get rid of the original without affecting the movie clip?-If not-I wanted to do this because I thought it may save memory but i am not really sure if it will affect the memory since the sheet itself is not going on the stage, is there a chance that this full sprite sheet in the library won't effect the file size of .swf?And if it does, if I turn it into a graphic, or movie clip, will that compress it?I use Flash CS3!

I can of course use removeMovieClip but I heard there was a more simple solution - attaching all of the MC's to another MC, and then deleting this MC would also delete all attached MC's. I saw some examples (starting with createEmptyMovieClip but I guess I'm having some problems with syntax.
ActionScript Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("movie1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie2", this.getNextHighestDepth();
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie3", this.getNextHighestDepth();
...
This code does not work...What I'd like is to remove movie1 so that it would delete all the others. Can it work?

I'm using Flash CS4 and I have to trim a .fla file down. I can delete the end frames no problem, but the first 600 frames that I have to remove are proving to be a nightmare. When I use the select>right-click>delete method it doesn't remove these frames, instead it removes the corresponding amount of frames from the end.

View 1 Repliesfunction countdown(){
timer--;
if(timer==0){[code]....
okay so there is my timer above, the timer counts down and everything else works exept for deleting the function at the end of the level, at the end of the level the script goes to another frame to show you have passed the level and then goes back to the previous frame to play the next level, all the new objects are made but the timer then counts double so its like the timer is running twice at a time so instead of counting down 1 everysecond it counts down 1 every half second, i have tried delete countdown();.i dont know how you actually make this work or how to go about it,
I need to load and unload thumb buttons with images loaded in them. I load an xml, create the clips, then load the images into the clips.
When I remove the clips, I need to unload the loaders first?
Can I store references of the loaders in an array and use the array to unload them?
How should I delete the clips? removeChildAt()? Or use an array?
Here's relevant code:
Code:
function createScrubThumbs():void {
for(var i:Number=0;i<thumbsXml.thumb.length();i++){
var picHolder:ScrubThumb = new ScrubThumb;

Is it possible to write some code that would search to see if a NetConnection and a NetStream object exists in the scene, and if so to delete them (or *.close(); or whatever)? I would like to be able to 'see' (with traces) these 'non-visible' sorts of objects to have a better handle on when/how/where these things are created .The same goes for all of these *.addEventListener's that I keep creating all over the place in AS3.Is there a way to step through all these 'hidden' objects in a scene and get some sort of status on them?
View 7 RepliesI'm having a problem where I load my SWF (Advertisement) into the dom after an event happens in a flash game. After viewing the ad, the SWF is removed with JavaScript and users continues to play, this continues several times without ever reloading the page.
The problem I am running into is in IE 8 & 9 performance of the game drops and frame rate becomes choppy after several ads are shown. Each advertisment has a timer built in and my thought is that the ad is not being fully removed from memory hence causing a slowdown.
Is there a way to ensure a full removal of the ad or at least a way to detect within the ad that it is no longer on the page & kill the timer?
I think I discovered a bug. Say this is a line with anchor points:
x---x---x---x---x---x---x
And this is what I want to achieve using the Delete Anchor Point Tool:
x-----------x-----------x
Then this is as far as I'm actually able to get:
x-------x---x-----------x
Because for some reason, if I delete the 2nd anchor point, the 3rd will be deleted too. I can, however, delete the 3rd without deleting the 2nd.
It is only after I've moved the 3rd further away that I'm able to delete the 2nd, but this gets tiring after a while.

View 1 RepliesI have a main swf which I am loading other swf's in to using a container. On each of the swf's I am loading I have an unload button which I placed the actionscript below on. The swf unloads fine, but it seems to be unloading the container as well. After I unload one video the others will not load. I don't know if it is because the unload button is on the swf being loaded and is not on the main swf or what. Is there anything I can put in this to make it unload the external swf and not the container on the main swf?
