Below I have an array that works but it is far too long and I am thinking there is a far easier way to generate the same result using a loop but I just can't get my head around it at the moment. The array is as follows:
var CardDeck = new Array();
CardDeck[0] = new C1();
CardDeck[1] = new C2();
CardDeck[2] = new C3();
CardDeck[3] = new C4();
CardDeck[4] = new C5();
CardDeck[5] = new C6();
[Code]...
Why doesn't this work?
[AS]
times = 6;
for (i = 0; i <= times; i++) {
_root.createTextField("txt" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["txt" + i].text = i;
trace(_root["txt" + i]);
}[/AS]
It works for empty and library-linked mc's but not textfields...
I want to appear one of a set of colors randomly on timer fire using the below code:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerFunction);
function timerFunction(event:TimerEvent) {
[Code].....
This works to randomly generate a color, but I want to call one of a set of colors. this.graphics.beginFill only takes a numeric value or a fixed color value.
How would I add the var here to activate my set?
var myArray:Array=new Array("0x000000","0x0000FF","0x00FFF0","0x0FFFFF") ;
var i:int;
for(i=0;i<myArray.length;i++){
The specific problem (first four lines in first for loop) is related to mcName it doesnt have a problem if I replace it to an actual name of a movieclip.
I'm trying to reference mcName to the array that stores the names of the movieclip. In other words I'm trying to generate dynamic variables that include movieclips generated from a multidimensional array.
how to create movieclip variables that get the names of the movieclips from multidimensional arrays.
ActionScript Code:
//VarName, mcName, XPos, YPos
var row1:Array = ['thisBall', 'thisball', 100, 200];
var multiArray:Array = [row1];

I was generating a four-dimensional array using for loops, but I kept getting undefined when reading from the variable. Just to test the thing, I created a new Flash file and typed this into the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
test = new Array();
test[0][0] = 24;
trace(test[0][0]);
When I ran the SWF, the trace window displayed undefined. The same happened when I replaced the 0's with other numbers. Is there something wrong with the way that I am defining the array?
I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.
I want to loop through an array and use the array value to reference a variable.

I have this flash movie I've been working on for awhile. I've received in these forums. I have my file set to load an array of swfs. Now, though, I'm wondering how to keep it from looping. At the end of the last swf, I want the movie to go to the last swf and then just stop. Here is my code:

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...

This works fine - the array is loaded and plays through once... What changes are needed to get it to loop through the array.
how can i set an array by using a loop.. the array is contains by a data that i read from database.. so the length of carry depend of the length of data in my database..
i try to use
for (var i:int = 0; i < xxx; i++) {
products = [p[i]];
}
i never read data from database in as3.. so if i want to use the data in database for this loop,what should i do?
if you could run a loop in an array?
I'm having to make an array that has each value increase by a 10, like 10, 20, 30, etc. is there an easier way to put in those values without adding them 'manually'?
and I have another question that is related. For this same project, on the stage there will be a text box and the user will put in a number--how can that value be run through the array? like say I input the number 500, how does it find it in the array? is there a passed id, a listener and a broadcaster?
i got stucked in a problem in actionscript 2.0
there is a 2d array - arr[12][13]
how can we start a loop to copy the value(using for loop) in manner:
a1=arr[0][0]
a2=arr[0][1]
a3=arr[0][2][code].....
I have an array like this:
Code:
var myData = new Array();
myData["name"] = "John";
myData["Age"] = 35;
What is the syntax to loop through and get the key and value? I have tried for each and for in but they just give me the value of "John" or "35", how can I get the key e.g. "Name" and "Age"?
Is there a simple equivalent to what I used to do in AS2 to add a bunch of new objects to the stage and throw them into an array so they can easily be referenced? I'm finding this more difficult than it used to be.

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined.I use a for-each loop to access all the elements of the array that is not undefined (since it simply skips the undefined elements).But I also want the index of that particular element.The only option I can see is to use indexOf(). But it feels a bit like looking for water on the other side of the river so to speak.
When looping through long arrays each frame, is there a change indexOf() might slow it down? or does the for-each loop somehow know what index it's dealing with?
I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.

There's 3 boxes I'm indexing through with a timer. They disappear in sequence. How do I make them reappear?
boxes disappear in sequence 1-3

I'm not to particular about the sequence they disappear and appear, but it need to keep going in a loop.

My problem is that the loop uses all the movieclips (WELCOME00, WELCOME01, etc.) at once.

insted of having the "addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setContent);" i need something that counts the current frame and the end frame of that swf is that possible?
I have been following tutorials but they don't seem to cover exactly what I'm doing.I have an associative array of values called definitionsArray which I use as references to instantiate classes in a run time shared library.I instantiate and push the object into a new array.
