Actionscript 3 :: Remove An Item While Iterating Over Collection?
Nov 23, 2010
I would like to use the AS "for each" syntax to loop over a collection of items. Within the loop I sometimes need to remove an item from the collection I am iterating over.
Using a "for" loop, I would code this like (note the "--" operator to move the index back):
for (var n:int=0; n<ac.length; n++) {
var s:String = ac.getItemAt(n) as String;
if (s == 'c')
ac.removeItemAt(n--);
}
Is it also possible to do something similar using a "for each" construct?

i want to know what types of objects should be removed for garbage collection? i m working on a bit long project. i've made it in flash application. i've 5 frames. each frame contains scripts. i've declared public variables as well as private and local. obviously assigned some eventlistener and so.. while moving from one frame to another, i want to remove unnecessary objects to garbage collection.whatever i understood, i nullified all the public variables and removed all the public eventlisteners (eventListeners which are in functions, I believe those can only be removed within that function). Objects (incl movieclips and all these) which were added dynamically, i removed them using removeChild() method..

I want the selectedIndex to remain the same. So, if I delete item 2, the next in the list should be selected. The problem is that if I delete item 2, item 3 will be selected and I have no idea why.

ActionScript Code:
var clip:Sprite = new Sprite();
clip.name = "clip"
addChild(clip);
cleanup(clip)
function cleanup(mc):void {
mc.parent.removeChild(mc);
mc = null
trace(clip)
// clip is removed from stage but traces as [object Sprite]. It still exists!
}
How would I pass a MovieClip/Sprite/TextField through this function and remove it entirely?

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);

ActionScript Code:

so that the end result looks like the following...
ActionScript Code:

So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.
Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip
{
var deck:Array =
[Code]....
When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.

I'm currently using a flash template for my online portfolio, but I've noticed that if you right click anywhere, it brings up the standard flash right-click menu with the following items:
Settings
Global Settings
About Flash Player 10
But directly above is a separate menu item that says "Made by JWD" and that takes you to a different website if you click it. I have the .fla file for the gallery - can I remove this menu item?

I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array. Is there any solution so that I could delete the duplicate entry in an Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);

Let's say I wanted to randomly remove an item from an array in a for loop.
Basically, it would go something like;
thearray = ["lol", "dude", "ROFL", "lame", "excellent"]
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
randomness = random(thearray.length())
thearray.remove [randomness]
}
Obviously that last line was made up, that's where the code goes for the item-removal.

When I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();

I have an array, crewPositionsAC that contains a list of position abreviatations - EP, PR, DR, WR, and so on. These positions are read in through an XML file each time my flex application loads. Also being populated from an XML is a project. Within a project, there are positions (a student assigned to a type of position listed within crewPositionsAC). These positions are not necessarily in the correct hierarchy order dictated by crewPositionsAC. I have all the positions within an ArrayCollection (positionsAC) with the following structure:
positionsAC (arrayCollection)
[0] = Array
[0] = startOffset
[1] = numDays
[code].....
Then, the user can click a button to add another position. When the "Add Crew Member" button is pressed, the user is presented with a list of possible positions to add. Currently, I simply add another array to positionsAC. This results in the recently added crew member to placed on the bottom of the list. I need to take positionsAC and reorder it based on it's [2] item (role) based on the hierarchy defined in the crewPositionsAC. crewPositionsAC has the following structure:
crewPositionsAC:
[0] = EP
[1] = PR
[2] = DR
[3] = WR
* continue until all possible position types are listed

i've got a loop which creates a movie clip for each day of the month and lines them up. so, depending on how many days are in the current month, the counter var for the loop is 28, 30, or 31.
Code:
for(var j:Number=1; j <= lastDay; j++){
// Create the Empty Movie Clip
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("dateClip"+j,300+j);
var dateClip:MovieClip = _root["dateClip"+j];
within this very same loop i am also using the same counter var (j) to iterate thru an array that is created from parsing my xml file.
now....i don't have 28, 30, or 31 dates in my xml file -- just about 4 or 5. so if i trace out this array i'll get values for the first 4 or 5 positions but then a series of 'undefineds' for the rest. that's normal, right?
Code:
trace(ArrDate[j].attributes.day);
the problem comes when i try to target the movie clip instances based on the "dateClip" and the "ArrDate". here it comes up totally undefined in all circumstances and i can't figure out why.
Code:
trace(dateClip["thisDate"+(ArrDate[j].attributes.day)]);
i can trace out dateClip and i can trace out the ArrDate (even though it returns only 4 values and the rest undefineds).

I am trying to make a class that would convert an arrayCollection to XML. I want to make it useful for all ArrayCollections.
My arraycollection looks like this....
newsDB.addItem( {
title: titleText.label,
clickURL: clickURL.text,
info: itemInfo.text,
[Code]...
I can access the AC with a for loop and arrayCollection.length, but how to I go deeper into the AC while making it work for any ArrayCollection? I could easily do dataSource[i].title but want to make this work for any arrayCollection passed into the class.

I need to loop through all the child inside a .fla file, and I can reach only the first frame movieclips when I loop through the childs, I found a "solution" that consists in copy all the movieclips to the first frame.Is there a way to loop to every movieclip, even if those are located in, let say, frame 120 in the timeline?

I'm making a very short text adventure, not one that will be all that fun, but just so I can learn a little as3. So I was designing a system that splits the persons input into an array of words, and then goes through and takes out unimportant words like "on." To test this out, I quickly (and messily) coded it up, and the only thing you can do is sit on a box. but it doesn't seem to be working. if you type "sit box" it works, but "sit on box" does not.
