How can i evaluate whether my test array is equal to my static constant DEFAULT_ARRAY? shouldn't my output be returning true?[code]...
View 3 Repliesis it not possible to define a static const array? i would like to have an optional parameter to a function that is an array of colors,
private static const DEFAULT_COLORS:Array = new Array(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF);
public function myConstructor(colorsArray:Array = DEFAULT_COLORS)
{
}
i know i can use ...args but i actually wanting to supply the constructor with 2 separate arrays as option arguments.
In the attached CS4 file I have attempted to have a button evaluate whether a variable (textbox) is equal to a number. If so, I want another textbox to say "correct" or trace "correct" either way. However, it doesnt appear to be evaluating the variable. I receive the "correct" trace everytime the button is released.
I tried to upload the file but it is too large. The code in the button is as follows:
on (release){
if (phoneNumber == "911");
trace ("correct");
}
I have a textbox entitled numbers, in which the user presses buttons and the number is added to the textbox. The same textbox has a variable assigned to it entitled phonenumber. When the talk button is pressed the code above should check the variable to see if it == 911. However no matter what I enter into the textbox, the trace always pops up and says correct.
maybe this is something small I'm overlooking, but I can't figure out how to pull this offI have an XML file that keeps data on my tilesheets. Currently it keeps info on the width and height of the tiles (works fine), but I also want to tell my program what part of ananimation it belongs to. I have a class set up that keeps some constants on the state of the object, that will decide it's animation. For example, if the state equals"PlatformState.WALKING", I alternate between tiles 1, 2 and 3, if the state is"PlatformState.FALLING", It alternates between 4 and 5.The static constant PlatformState.WALKING is a uint with value 0, FALLING has value 1, etc. But I don't want to put the rough values in the XML, but the constant names.

I have three array holders that hold different text and numbers. First I need if(_root.achievements[0][i] (Needs to be evaluated as a string variable name for example _root.pKills because before I set _root.pKills to 10) == _root.achievements[1][i] (Need to be evaluated as a number so I can compare it to the string variable name))

I have just switched to CS4. When I updated some text in a movie on the site (originally built in an older version of Flash from back in the Macromedia days) things went fine until I published the document. The movie file looks fine but random characters have disappeared and some portions that were Italics have become regular. Everything stays good in the movie file, but the published one loses characters. I tried publishing for flash 5 but that made no difference. What should I be trying?

Is there a way to declare and instantiate an array using constants as indexes? I want to do something like:
public var arr:Array = new Array([ CONSTANT_A : "helloWorld", CONSTANT_B : "helloGoodbye" ]);
In php one could do:
$arr = array(CONSTANT_A => "foo", CONSTANT_B => "bar");
I have no understanding of even the most basic concepts, put it that way. Anyway, so I have 2 test boxes, one that is static and one that is dynamic. I made the dynamic one first, and on the same frame, I put the AS: var random:Number = 100; What I do know is that flash now recognizes that whatever dynamic text box with the variable label of "random" is a number. The output should also be a #, and when you test out the movie, a 100 should be in the dynamic text box that you just created, even though you don't see this on the stage before testing. So I tested it out, and sure enough, a "100" shows up. Next, I put another text box that is static, and I typed "test" in it. (Without quotes) The two text boxes should have no relation, but when I tested out the movie again, only the "test" static text box words show up, and the 100 in the previously created text box is gone. I've tried moving the text boxes to different places and changing variables and such, but nothing works, as far as I know.

I have probably posted this a few times now. I am using the tutorial at www dot flashgametuts dot com/tutorials/as3/how-to-create-a-platform-game-in-as3-part-7/ and I would really like to know how to have a sound play when the character collects a coin. This is a tile-based game where the "coin" objects are represented by the number "7" in an array, which is the level map.

I have three randomly moving movie clips and one keyboard controlled movie clip which is meant to avoid the tree random flying clips.
I want to do a hit test that basically will do something if anyone of the 3 random clips hit the keyboard controlled clip.
in the hit test i want to be able to have this work for any of the three random clips (flying pumpkins with different instance names, pumpkin1 pumpkin2 pumpkin3). This is all done on an external document class.
I thought about an array but I have no idea really
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I don't I need to know is there some kind of isIn for an array. To test if an item is an element in an array. I just cant remeber what it is.
View 5 RepliesOn the PHP site it was advised to do for loops in a certain way that I have not seen on any recommendations for AS3. I think I found about a 10 times speed increase and I thought I better check that I was not missing something (?) before going through my code and changing it. Very simple and fairly self explanatory (in the faster one the array.length is not calculated every time I think):
Code:
import flash.utils.getTimer;
var time:Number;
var myarray:Array = new Array();
myarray.length=2000000;

I want to check if my character is hitting any of the items in an array (true) and if he isn't (false). right now the boolean is in a for loop so it returns one "true" and multiple "false" statements each time the program updates.

I'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?
Let's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.

I'm working with arrays again and i have a question for the smart I have an array with 10 references to a movie clip in my library and a timer that add one of these movie clips to the stage every second (Without removing them from the array). When the movie clips are added to the stage they will be touching another movie clip that has an instancename. I want to perform a hit test between the movie clip on the stage and the added movie clips from my array that will lead to some actions.
My question is: Is it possible to hit test the movieclips in the array with the movieclip on the stage with a few simple lines of code? I'd hate to have to give each of them an instance name. I know this is what classes are for but i really hoped i could avoide using them for this project ( stupid classes!) I'm looking for something like this in code: if any movieclip in my array hit test a specific movieclip on stage
