ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove All Objects From Array

Nov 23, 2009

I'm trying to remove all objects from an array, and then emptying the array using splice. I'm restarting the game, removing all objects etc so that I can add them again. But what happens is that no object (enemies, blocks, bullets etc) is really removed. It's not visible anymore, but it's still on the stage wreaking havoc (hit detection still working, so enemies are avoiding enemies that were supposed to be removed, bullets hitting them and so on). And then when I restart the game a couple of times I have way too many objects and the game starts to lag. Code below: This is the code for the enemy, I have different loops for the other objects, but they all look the same:
Code:
for(var a=0; a<enemy1.length; a++) //loop through enemy1 {
if(enemy1[a].dead == true) //check if dead {
removeChild(enemy1[a]); //remove from stage
enemy1.splice(a,1); //remove element from array
}}
So to reiterate, I need to remove the objects from the stage, and clear/empty the array.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Objects From Array?

Jun 30, 2010

I have an array containing objects, where each object contains a boolean. I was wondering how I can remove only the objects where the boolean is set to true.I've tried doing it like this:

for(var k:int = 0; k < ballContainer.length; k++){
if(ballContainer[k].isCheck == true){
removeChild(ballContainer[k]);[code]....

But it doesn't seem to work that well. (Reason for it not working may very well be another reason, but I thought I'd check here anyway since I'm an AS3 novice)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using OnMouseDown To Remove Objects In An Array?

Nov 27, 2002

How on earth do I use the onMouseDown event to remove objects generated by an array?

I'm still programming (if my bumbling can be called that ) the game I discussed in the 'Random Object Generation' thread and I'm using the basic framework of the array function that h88 gave me. Everything is working fabulously, but getting the things to disappear onMouseDown is a problem - it doesn't work.

Oh, and if I reference Target.prototype.onMouseDown and tell it it to this.unloadMovie, it unloads every single target on the screen instead of the one your mouse is actually over, making for a fairly... lame... game. I'm pretty sure it's because every single clip generated by the array is a Target prototype instance and so when the MouseDown occurrs, it unloads every Target movieClip. And I am using a hitTest in the Target.prototype.onMouseDown command, so that doesn't solve anything...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does Setting An Array Of Objects To Null Erase The Objects From Memory

Apr 27, 2010

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.

While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".

Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Values Past An Array Length And Clear Entire Array?

I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.

What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.

Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?

Flash :: Sorting An Array So That 3 Types Of Objects Are Evenly Distributed Throughout The Array?

Oct 17, 2011

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.

If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z

HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

ActionScript 3.0 :: Take For A Sprite To Be Added To The Displaylist?

May 28, 2009

I am having some trouble understanding the display list.  This might sound silly but how long does it take until a sprite is added to the display list?
 
My understanding is that the root variable is only accessible once the object is added to the display list.In the following code I add the TLSEntry_Text to the display list and then on the next line I try to trace its root variable without luck.  The root variable appears only in the enter frame event...  I guess a little bit later.
 
What am I missing here?  Is there a way for the display list to "force refresh" itself?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove Dynamic Objects

Nov 25, 2009

So far I have this squid-shaped MC floating and making bubble-shaped MCs which rise to the top of the stage. The bubbles get generated by following the squid's (x,y) cordinates. The whole thing looks convincing enough. The only problem is that as the memory gets full, the bubble animation degenerates, so I want to remove them once they reach the top. I figured I could use a removeChild() function tied to the same EventListner that makes them rise, but once removed it will look for the object again and throw an error. I know I'm missing something simple here, but I can't pin it down.!

Code:
var bubbleTimer:Timer=new Timer(1200);
var i:uint = 0;

Actionscript 3 :: Monitor Change Of A Component's Displaylist?

Mar 25, 2011

I'm working on a drag-drop solution, and acting when a item is dropped on the current target (let's say an "intelligent chess-board") is a breeze, as the board fires DragEvents when items are hovering over on dropped on the it.

What I'm looking for is a way to make the board act when an item is dragged OFF the itself. Of course - when the item is dropped somewhere else, I could fire an event there and tell the board that change has been done. But this is what I want to avoid.

I wonder if there is some way to monitor a change in the displaylist of the "board", so it fires an event when a child/element is removed from "outside"?

for(var i:uint = 0; i<=10;i++)
{
var my_ball:Ball = new Ball() //new instances of Ball from library export

ActionScript 2.0 :: Force Remove Objects From Stage?

Dec 5, 2010

I am using a carousel (from Lee Brimelowe's tutorial) as the main method of navigation from my site's homepage. There are six icons in the carousel, clicking any one brings the icon to the front and some dynamic text and a button to navigate to a different page appear on stage. Clicking the icon again brings the icon back to the carousel and the text and button disappear.The site is multi-lingual (English, German, Dutch, Polish) and all text changes to the relevant language by clicking a flag button, including the text that appears beside the 'expanded' carousel icon - all of the data is loaded from XML files.

The problem with changing the language is that the entire carousel needs to be destroyed and rebuilt each time, as all of the data needed for it is only loaded on runtime. I have this 'kinda' working, the problem I am having is:If you change the language via a flag button when an icon is 'expanded' the dynamic text and button (theText and urlBtn) get 'stuck' on the stage and you have to do some clicking on the new carousel icons remove them - not ideal!Can anybody out there please advise me on how I would include some AS to remove these items too when the language button is changed?
