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 length?
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
I have 4 buttons that just tween a large MC. When I tween something though It loads the content to be tweened. After that if user clicks another tween I need a a way to remove the last thing that was just tweened. not methods, just a way to select the correct MC and remove it.
View 1 RepliesI'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.

I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

I have an 11 minute video (.MOV) that I want to convert to an FLV. The file is about 29GB. I first tried to convert it using the CS3 Video Encoder but only the first 5:00 were converted. I tried this a few times with different settings but got the same results. Then I switched to Cleaner but again, only about 5:00 was converted. The length is not exactly the same but close enough for me to think that there might be a 5:00 limit to how long an FLV can be. Or is there a limit to the size of MOV the encoding process will handle?
View 1 RepliesI have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file.However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10.

Each line in the dynamic textbox has 15 characters, and yet you can notice the difference in the length(between each line).

I am trying to find out what the max length is for a string because since as3 doesnt provide any methods for removing characters from a string by changing the initial string itself, i am going to have to stick to re-initializing.I did a little test to see how long it would take for my program to break using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
+[code]..............
The program crashed at a string length of about 500 million.
EDIT:however before it crashed,it performed the incrementations with reasonable performance.
EDIT EDIT: which is strange since my ram still had over 2 gig the program didnt use

View 1 RepliesI am using as2 to stream some mp3s. At the moment I have an attribute within the xml for giving me the length.I guess the length for the mp3s is buried in the mmp3 file somewhere. If I load the files in totally first, then I can get at the info (ID3 is it?) however, this doesn't work for streaming them . Or rather, I can't make it work! (I have found posts which suggest making an estimate if you know how much has downloaded in so many seconds and you know the length etc etc - but this is exactly that - an estimate!)So my question is how do I get the length of an mp3 clip that I am going to stream?

View 5 RepliesI need to get the length of an MP3 file.I tried using the following code: myFile.id3.TLEN; yet it didn't work.I copied (and changed a bit) the code from the help files and got this thingy:
myFile.onID3 = function(){
for( var prop in myFile.id3 ){
trace( prop + " : "+ myFile.id3[prop] );
}
}
myFile.loadSound(run_url, false);
The code shows me all the parameters I can get. Seems like my MP3 file used id3v1 which may not support time length, so using Winamp 5.3 (last update), I passed the information to id3v2.so I got some more parameters. Here's the output:
COMM :
TIT2 : MySong
TPE1 : Almonimus
TYER : 2006
[code]....
Seems like I still don't have the required parameters in the id3tag. I am aware that Winamp doesn't support id3v2.4 very well, so I downloaded a demo of Tag&Rename 3.2, and as you can guess, even after opening the file and resaving it, I can't get this parameter.
I have an xml file (attached). And what I need to do is find out the number of clients in the list

This is what I have so far but it always returns 0.
