How do I create a new arraycollection that can generate a unique variable name? Like:
AC+nu as in AC1:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC2:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC3:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC4:ArrayCollection
nu++;
I have an ArrayCollection as mentioned below.
private var initDG:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{fact: "Order #2314", appName: "AA"},
{fact: "Order #2315", appName: "BB"}[code].....
I want to populate a ComboBox with UNIQUE VALUES of "appName" field from the ArrayCollection initDG.
<mx:ComboBox id="appCombo" dataProvider="{initDG}" labelField="appName"/>
One method I could think is to loop through the Array objects and for each object check and push unique appName entries into another Array. Is there any better solution available?
Looking to generate random numbers b/w 0 and 19 with no duplicates to be put in Array.
View 6 Repliesgenerating a unique number of some sort, in Flash that varies from computer to computer, sort of like an IP Address.And is there a way of doing it all within Flash, no php!!. This file is using .asp on the server side, but I'd rather stay away from that (though reply if you know how to do it that way), plus I'm curious if there is a way to do it in AS2.
View 1 RepliesIm making a game where there are 25 tiles with corresponding questions when you click them. One of the tiles must blink at a time, once the blinking tile was selected it will be hidden and the question will appear. If he answered wrong, the game is over else we will select another blinking tile after answering correctly (but the previous tile is hidden now). So how can i make the tiles blink or change its color using AS? And how i will select the available tiles, where some tiles are already disabled/hidden (already answered)? here is my pseudocode: (im not yet familiar with AS2 OOP concepts so im will use movie clips here & array to save the selected tiles)
select unique random no. from 0 - 25
check if it is in the array1.length not 0 && generated rand. no. is not in the array1
else store generated rand. no. to array1
tell movieclip(array1[0]) goto blink frame
if movieclip(array1[0]) finished blink
goto not blink frame
else hide the tile.
I need accessing a value in my arrayCollection in Flex 3.
var f:String;
I need to access the photoFilePath where series = f. So if f=2, then I need /pics/my2.png
So, pseudo code: myAc.(series="f").photoFilePath
<mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC">
<mx:Object label="Label 1" series="1" photoFilePath="/pics/my1.png" pageTitle="First"/>
<mx:Object label="Label 2" series="2" photoFilePath="/pics/my2.png" pageTitle="Second"/>
</mx:ArrayCollection>

I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >

I have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.
Quote:
for(var i:int = 0; i < blogXMLList.length(); i++)
{
var txtHolder:TextField = new TextField();
txtHolder.x = textX;

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.
I've just created a draft animation demonstration of a unique analogue clock [URL]. What I would like to achieve is to also have a digital clock just below it. So when you roll over the analogue clock, the animation starts for both clocks. When you roll off the animation stops leaving the time displayed exactly the same on both clocks. So basically both the clocks run simultaneously (speeded up). How I might achieve this?

What I'm trying to do is setup a function that shoots through a set of buttons within a subset and creates click code for these buttons.
THe three variables are the identifiers for the actual keyframe i wish to jump to, the movieclip in which i want to perform the action and the actual button to go to the right frame.
Presently the problem I'm having is that the variables aren't stored when the onRelease functions are created, so they all are just calling the LAST variables declared.
Here's a sample of the code I currently have
Code:
//function to load canvas/acrylic
function setSwatches(mySwatchCount:Number, myContainer:String)

I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

how would you go about creating a random equation? i would like to randomly generate two individual numbers, a random operator (out of +, -, *, /) between these numbers and then the user would input a number to answer the equation... any thoughts on this?
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to set up an unseen variable in flash sort of like keeping score?The best way I can describe it is from the BASIC language I used to use back in the day, where on a click you can make x=x+1, or x=x-3, or whatever depending on the button you click on.And then it would display the score (i.e. whatever is the current value of x) in the corner? give me a link or the actual code you would assign to a single button that will add or subtract to a displayed score in the corner.
View 10 RepliesI am trying to generate variable names dynamically to get the X coordinate for many MovieClips on my stage.
This sort of works:
stop();
var End_X_mcArm01_Dot0:Array = [];
for (var Four_counter:int=1; Four_counter<=1; Four_counter++)
{

It stores the X coordinate in the variable End_X_mcArm01_Dot0[Four_counter] which is great. But I want to store these values for use later in my FLA.
If you turn the comment off on the second trace it errors although it appears to have created a variable called "End_X_mcArm01_Dot01".

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
I have a advanced datagrid and populating some data by using arraycollection. And i am filtering the arraycollection, the arraycollection index got changed.
Arraycollection:- [0] - name: abc
[1] - name: hello
[2] - name: hello1
[3] - name:hai
after filtering the arraycollection as 'hell' , the array collection is displaying like the below:
Arraycollection:-
[0] - name: hello1
[1] - name: hello
Can i know the reason why the index got changed after filter it?
* no server side code for filtering. it is only flex side filtering.
Is there a way to get a unique machine-specific system ID in a Flex application running in a browser, so that is can be used for example to determine if the machine is properly licensed to run the application?
View 5 RepliesI have a BarChart that compares different user interactions with a program we have. Obviously some users will have multiple sessions and depending on what the filtering is, a single user may have multiple entries displayed at once.
The problem comes in with the Category Axis, which uses the username as the categoryField. This is fine and displays nicely when there are no repeats of the username in the dataset. If there are repeats, though, it will put a new entry in the Y axis for each instance of the username, but all of the data is rendered on the first label in the Y axis.
Is there any way to keep the username as the category axis, but have the BarChart display the corresponding data in the correct spots?
I'm using a localconnection to allow communication between an actionscript 2 swf and an actionscript 3 swf.Localconnection objects share a global namespace across a user's pc.So, this means, a user can fire up my flash app in one browser, and submit commands, back and forth, which is what i want. But the user can also fire up another browser, and all commands sent to my application will be handled by the first application if its still loaded in the first browser.When I make the LocalConnection, I specify an id, but the id must be known to the actionscript 2 swfs, and therein I find a problem. I don't know how to let the actionscript 2 swfs know what the unique id is.
View 1 RepliesI am building a tabbed interface for switching between various similar layers. Each layer will have a number of graphs. By dragging with the mouse the graphs can be rearranged or even moved between layers. My question is, is it best practice to register a unique mediator for each layer that keeps track of the layers content / organization, or should i keep track of it all with one central mediator.some considerations:
the layer contents and organization will be saved(in a db) so that it can be restored when a user comes back to the app.the layers themselves are functionally identical.the user can add and remove layers at will.
