I need to add one array to another (only care about saving the joined one). Which is the preferred way of doing this? Speed is the primary concern followed by readability (I consider Option 1 to be a cleaner option). I assume it might also depend on the length of the arrays, but are there any good guidelines?

I have quite alots of display objects to manage during runtime, so Im currently using Arrays to manage them. But the problem is I have few many types of displays objects(eg. Tile, Npc and Building) which are basically MovieClips linked to the library. Each display object plays different role where it will be checked on enter frame, a loop.Method 2 sounds much more faster and extensible however Im worried if it would affect the checking rate of each display object during runtime as the displays:Array grow larger and probably making it glitchy.So which one of the following method is faster+less glitchy and explain why you choose it.[code]
View 3 Repliesthis is what i'm trying to accomplish; With a click on a movieclip (cannon_mc)a shot is being fired (ball_mc)
The longer mouse is down, the speed of wich the ball is fired with should increase.My question to you is;
What is the most efficient way to accomplish this? With a timer or something like this;

I'm devloping some library classes for flocking/steering behaviours on large numbers of objects (2000+). I'm finding that at < 500 instances, performance is reasonable. As the numbers increase, framerate bogs down.
I've seen remarkable performance with libraries such as Flint or Box2D with ridiculous #'s of particles / objects, so it should be possible to optimize / refactor my code to be a bit better.
I'm aware of the basic optimizations, such as bitwise operations and optimized for loops. Are there any more fundamental approaches I should be considering? For example, currently each instance is a vector-based MovieClip. Would working with BitmapData be more efficient?
Will I take a big hit in performance using nested ViewStacks? Should I strive to handle all navigation in one ViewStack and push children manually or will the affected performance be negligible?
eg.
<viewstack>
<tabnavigator />
<tabnavigator />
<tabnavigator />
</viewstack>
We have a medium size Flex 3.6 application that contains around 20 different page views (managed via a single lazy ViewStack) each having multiple components. Most use custom renderers.All model data is loaded at startup and changes to model instances are communicated via binding and/or collection change events.Once the user has viewed each page at least once, all page views are instantiated and happily listen to update events.Which in effect means that each time a model instance changes, all interested views receive that event and compute derived data or trigger item-renderers.I have tested and confirmed this behaviour in a proof-of-concept application. Even when setting a list to being invisible, it still listens to collection change events and invalidates any renderer affected.What would you do?

I've got 3 variables called pSize1 = 15, pSize2 = 16, pSize3 = 17. I have some radio buttons that have the data: 1, 2, 3. depending on what radio button is pressed, I need to trace the data in either pSize1, pSize2, or pSize3.if they user presses the first radio button, it returns data 1, how can I combine that with "pSize" to return 15, and not "pSize1". What i have tried so far:
Code:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object):Void {
thisSize = eventObj.target.selectedRadio.data[code]......

View 5 RepliesI'm currently testing Flex/AIR for a new software that we have to design to display data received from the network and I'm very excited about all possibilities Flash offers in terms of UI and how easy it is to quickly develop a nice-looking, portable application, compared to other technologies (like Java, though richer in terms of API but harder to write code reusable for desktop, Internet and mobile apps, and not so good looking ).
The application itself gets data from a multicast group and formats it on the screen (images, graphs, ...).
So I'm really willing to use Flash to build this app and after a few benchmarking/prototyping I'm using a DatagramSocket (AIR-only, that's fine) to read UDP datagrams and it's working fine except for two tiny things on which I couldn't find any answer: I can't have the socket join a multicast groupI can't set the send/receive buffer size for the socket I have a lot of code in C and Java for that and both are just a single call to "setsockopt" function: In C: setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &group, sizeof(struct ip_mreq)) - where "group" describe the multicast group to joinsetsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &sz, sizeof(sz)) - where "sz" is the number of byte to use for the receive bufferIn Java it's even simpler, using a MulticastSocket: sock.joinGroup(group)sock.setReceiveBufferSize(sz) I tried to use Alchemy to write simple functions to create an UDP socket and have it join a multicast group but alas, the "socket" call returns -1, as it seems that sockets cannot be created in Alchemy environment (though compilation works without problem...).
I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one needing these two tiny "setsockopt" calls... I found on Adobe forums people trying to set the TCP_NODELAY option on a socket (also using setsockopt in the end) but without success...
By the way, the data come from an electronic board and is somehow coded in VHDL so I can't use RTMFP on that, though it seems to implement the functionnalities I need (or at least the multicast group part, the receive buffer size would be a bonus).
Well, I'm rather disapointed by this as Flash fills remarkably 99.9% of the application needs but this tiny 0.1% makes it impossible for it to get the data, thus making it useless...
And we don't want that I turn to Silverlight, do we?
I am wondering if any one can point me in the right direction. I have a number of sound objects. I am wondering if there is any way I can pull out the byte arrays and stitch them together into as one bytearray.
View 1 RepliesThere's an array, lets called it arr1. There is a switch, that pushes argument to this array, but after the switch ends, I'm stuck at join("").split("");
var arr1 = [];
switch (myString) {
case "apple": {
arr1.push("apple");
break;
}}}
arr1 = arr1.join("").split("");
I know is simple, but I never had experience with arrays in flash before, I just realized join("") was used to convert the Array to string, but isn't split reversing this?
Ok, I am new to Flash and I am using CS3. I just learned about creating lines and choosing their end cap styles and joint style. I created 2 lines that were connected, highlighted both with the selection tool and tried to change the join style to miter. It would not work. I also tried round and bevel but they would not work either. I did this over and over with many different sets of lines, and I could not change the join style. What am I doing wrong?
View 2 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.
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.
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() );
[code].......
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.
I know there is a way to determine how many users can connect or "join"( in a manner of speach) per second, and how to set a maximum number of users in the queue to join, this does not mean though, that the server will reject all or any petitions after a certain number of players are connected or viewing a stream, which is what we need to do. anyone know if its possible to do this and how?
in other words,we need to set a limit on how many users can be watching a stream at any given time, be it by stream or by server, it matters little, we just need to get it set..
For the life of me I can't work out how to replace a "/" character in a string!? Using the standard myString.split("/").join("-"); does absolutly nothing to the string. I've heard the odd story of adding double slash ie. split("//") but that has no effect either.
