Actionscript 3 :: How To Reset An Array Index

Feb 1, 2010

I got a problem with processing an array in actionScript. I removed the last element of an array through array.pop(). After that I would like to put this removed display-object back to the beginning of the array: array.unshift(object). The object is now the first element of the array but it got still its old label (number of the last element). Therefor I can't update the position (graphically) of the display object. Is it possible to "reindex" the array?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Won't Let Reset Child Index?

Jul 15, 2010

I've got multiple images being loaded from an xml document and when they're created they add it to the stage and call a setIndex function to set it to 0. But when I try to the same object later on when they're called I get this compiler error:
 
I marked in bold the lines that relate. Out of the last two lines I marked bold I get this compiler error when I use the first one: 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:Sprite.
 
and this output error when from the last bold line: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

Actionscript 3 :: How To Reset The Current Tab Index In Flash

Nov 29, 2010

For instance, if I have an ordered set of objects [a, b, c, d, e] with their tabIndex property correctly assigned, and the focus is currently on object c, I want to change the focus so that:

a) Nothing is focused;
b) Next time I press tab, object a gets focused.

stage.focus = null solves (a), however it remembers the current index causing object d to be focused when tab is pressed.

Flash :: Get The Specific Array Index Based On Value Inside The Index's Object?

Jun 22, 2011

So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:

sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);

and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"

I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:

sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]

how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?

so basically it could be like:

sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Hittest With Multiple Array - Without The Rest Of The Array Numbers Being Reset

Mar 20, 2009

The Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array, Shuffle A Part Of An Array Using Start And End Index Is Not Working Properly?

Feb 15, 2011

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:

a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it  goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

I'm able to create the first array, but the next time I press the button I need it to reset and create a new array. This is my create array function. what is the code I need to clear the array first and then recreate.

outfitArray.push(headGroup.selection.data);
outfitArray.push(topGroup.selection.data);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting An Array's Index?

Jan 18, 2011

I have a game map made of tiles, each tile is stored in an array called _tiles.The very each tile has a "plantable" parameter, which determines whether or not something can be placed on it.Then i loop through the array and check the position of each its elements against the mosue cursor, so I know which tile am I hovering with my mouse.

And it works pretty good. The problem is that even though I know what is the position of the tile I'm having the cursor on, I still lack the knowledge of what index is that tile. I simply can't tell where exactly in the array is placed this tile. I just know its position. The reason why I want to know the index of it, is because it's the only way for me to set a proper flag, namely whether it's plantable or not. Here's the code:

ActionScript Code:
for(var j:int = 0; j < _tiles.length; j++)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Index Of Array In For-each Loop?

Jan 29, 2009

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?

Actionscript :: Get Index Of Object In An Array?

Jan 29, 2012

I'm building a plugin and I'm using actionscript to save the selection of an object in an illustrator document and then reference it later.

var arrObj:Array=new Array();
arrObj.push(app.activeDocument.selection[0]);

If I select now the same object in the document and check if its in the array it returns a -1 for the index value.

var id:int=arrObj.indexOf(app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
trace (id); //-1

Why is the selection not considered the same object as in that of the array?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Index Of A Multidimensional Array?

I have an MD array:

It's for a quiz program. Question1 is the first part of the sentence, the answers words that are shuffled and question2 is the last part. So basically they have to align parts of a sentence in the correct order.

Everything is groovy, but I can't figure out how to check if the words are in the correct order. The current [2][0][1] position is my test for embedding the answers, but when it's shuffled it seems to ruin everything.[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Index Of Array In For Each Loop

Jan 29, 2009

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined. I'd like to 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.

So I have two options:
1) Use array.indexOf(element).
2) Use traditional for loop, thus getting the index out of the iterator.

I'd rather not use option 2 since it contradicts the whole idea of not having to deal with undefined elements.
