Creating And Calling Array Dynamically
Jul 1, 2010
I would like to be able to create and call an Array dynamically. So to pass a name through a function and create an array based on that name.Then to store values into sections in the array. I got the creating the array dynamically working, but I can't seem to store into it.
Code:
Sort = function (numOfVars,Name,toSort){
This works
_global[Name] = New Array(New Array (),New Array());
This does not work
_global[Name][i][c]= 3
This does not work
_global[Name + "[i][c]"]= 3
This does not work
_global[[Name][i][c]]= 3
}

This seemingly trivial problem is *really* confounding me. I have a 3 dimensional array like this ...
Code:
oldmap = [[['a1',0],['a1',1]],
[['a0',1],['a1',0]]];
I simply want to take this array, modify the data, and create a new array. Here's the code (minus the transform functions):
Code:
newmap = new Array();
for (i=0;i<map_height;i++) {
for (j=0;j<map_width;j++) {[code]....
When I trace "newmap" I always get undefined.

I'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code

I am creating a photo gallery , and everytime you hit a button a picture loads and a caption appears. The image loads fine, but how do I call the text... this is what I got so far, this AS is in the Button:
Code:
button.onPress.createTextField("theField_txt", 1, 20, 26.9, 242.9, 22.30);
theField_txt.text = "Rugged Coastline & Beach"
theField_txt._visible = true;
Also, how can I hide it afterwards to load another caption in the field, or should will it erase the last caption automaticaly?

I have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

I have done a bit of searching for this and have come up short. I have seen a few others post this question but never seen an answer... So here I am hoping I can find it here!Ok, so my problem is that I need to call MC's from the library dynamically depending on a number of previous user chosen options... and the names are all fairly similar but with a number or word difference...So here is my problem...I need to be able to call a clip such as the following
ActionScript Code:
var1+"mc_name"+var2+"mc_name"

I have a main listbox, which the content is in form of dynamic arrays. Upon click on some of the item in the listbox, some other arrays are suppose to appear in another listbox, by checking that both of them have the same "title". I was thinking of using listener to listen to the main listbox, but it does not seem logical to me. Can anyone suggest a better way to solve this? btw, i saw one tutorial atits something like the dependable combobox tutorial, but in this case, the arrays are 2 different arrays that has the same content for checking purpose, unlike the one in the tutorial.

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;

So basically my file is a photo gallery. There are two ways to click through the photos - the previous/next buttons or the camera icons on the floor plan diagram. The cameras are dynamically generated from XML, into a cameraHolder mc.
I have the controls working independently, but I need to have them working together (ie: if you click the previous/next buttons, the camera icons would change state) I don't have all the over/selected/visited states working yet, but I don't really need help with that.
What I really need to be able to do is figure out how to call the camera icon clips. See line 138 for where I tried to trace one: trace(cameraHolder.camera0); It returns as undefined.?
Also is is possible to call a mc where part of the name is a variable? For example, you'd call something like "camera" + whoIsOn instead of camera0?
FYI: this file is definitely a work in progress. I kind of slapped together two examples to get what I currently have...

I am calling some data from php, which simply retrieves some data from MySQL. The tables retrieved are called dynamically and so I have a list of those tables sent to actionscript below and called by event.target.data.its and event.target.data.ces. These will have a list of the tables called. I then send the name/value pairs to actionscript from php by using those table names (all inside of php here) dynamically.
$sql3 = "SELECT * FROM `specialties`";
$getit = mysql_query($sql3);
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($getit)){
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($itlist);$i++){

I have a function gameTimerInterval() set to run every half second. Every x of those intervals (the value of x varies in this situation), it creates another interval that calls the function birdTimerInterval() every y of these new intervals. Basically, gameTimerInterval() determines when a new flock of birds will enter, and then birdTimerInterval() controls how each individual bird in the flock comes in (one at a time). The thing is, there can be multiple flocks coming on the stage at the same time, so birdTimerInterval() will need to receive a parameter so it knows which group of birds to control. The only way I could see achieving this is doing something like dynamically passing the name of the interval that's calling the function, as I don't know how I could use global variables or arrays to distinguish which flock should be moving.

I am working on an interactive quiz type game using arrays and multidimensional arrays.
I am trying to make a dynamic textfield say "the current question" + "Sorry, the correct answer is..." + "the second answer in the first string of answers in the array".
I think I am pretty close, but there is an error in the syntax.
Here is the line of code where I try to do this:
questionHolder.question.text=(String (cat4Questions[0]) + "Sorry, the correct answer is "+ String (cat4Answers[0,2]));
I am getting this error:
VerifyError: Error #1030: Stack depth is unbalanced. 1 != 0.

I am creating movieclips into which I want to load thumbnails which are to be loaded dynamically. I'm not sure if the solution I am trying to build is the more effective way to do this; I'm still quite a noobie.
Each movieclip container which I will use hold the thumbnails is of a size to hold 16 thumbs, so the number of holder movieclips required is calculated at the time the xml loads; with the movieclips then being created, named and stored in an array. (The idea is to then move between these movieclips (and so the thumbs) using previous and next buttons) - however, I'm not at that stage yet!
However, when I call each movieclip to place the loaded thumbs in, the code throws the "#1010: A term is undefined and has no properties" Error. I think this is a problem with the array; and possibly the mc not being defined properly. However, I am not sure where my problem is.

I'm learning AS3. I would like to call an Array which contains five mc. Although when I check for errors on the script it says that it doesn't have errors, when I test the movie I have a
couple of errors.
1046 Type was not found or wan not a compile...
1180 Call to a possibly undefined method

Here is my script.
var listLoader:Array = new Array(back_1, back_2, back_3,back_4, back_5);
bt_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
function (evt:MouseEvent): void {
function placeRamdomPicture (): void {
var iRandomImage = Math.round (Math.random() *

iRandomImage = (iRandomImage > -1) ? iRandomImage : 0;
picHolder.addChild(new listLoader [iRandomImage]);
} placeRandomPicture();

I am writing this post because i have not found an answer to this. I wrote a class that will get several function names and then proceed to call them. Thing is, i want this code on a base class, which is on a separate swc.
[Code]...
If i override the createThing function, and add the exact same code, there is no problem. Is there a way around this? I think this is a bug on AS3 not distinguishing its real context, but i am not sure.

How would one go about calling a function of an object that is stored within a multidimensional array? I keep getting TypeError: Error #1006.
Code calling the function:
ActionScript Code:
_board[i][j].drawPiece(xPos, yPos);
Code of the function:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawPiece(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
_piece_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000);
[Code]....
The object is there. When tracing out the array for specific index it provides:
[object Piece].
Or would it just be best to use a single dimensional array? End goal is to have a board class to be able to use for checkers and then potentially chess.
