Actionscript 3 :: Remove Equally Spaced Elements From An Array With Length Of 'n' To Match A Given Length 'y'?
Mar 9, 2011
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.

In below class I ave declared an array "selectedOptions". In click event Im storing the values in it. But everytime I click on the object the array gets initialized and stores the clicked element rather storing all the elements one by one. Could you tell me the reason?

I am using an array to return data to an application and as the array is filled with data using a loader and the order is important it happens that data in slot n is inserted later than data in slot n+1. How do I know that the array is full as I know the number of elements to be loaded? The length property doesn't work for this. I could go through the array each time I put something in and look if every slot is full but that seems ineffective.

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?

I want to compare one value against all values in the other array and extact a match. These are different in length.
Imagine one column of unsorted ID's and one column of ID's and names. I came up with this, but it doesn't work.
private function mergeCollections():void
{
for (var k:int = 0;k <= idArray.length;k++)
{
[Code].....
my arraycollections arrive from database.
The real thing I'm doing here is recieve values from a table full of ids and a table full of those ides, plus the name (they are separate because, normalization dude!) And I want to put them inside a datagrid that will only display the name.
I say possibly unsorted because the second column might reach a point of several deletes and inserts and might end up unsorted. But for this case I have one unsorted column against one sorted column.
My current output is just one name printed, and the rest dismissed completely.
NOTE: Also take in account that the nameArray has always MORE or EQUAL values to the ID table. and the Id table will always have values that match the names table.

Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.

I've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.
I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:
_root.caption.box._width = _root.caption.help.length * 8;
But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.

I'm trying to remove the value "3"
Code: Select allvar myArray:Array = new Array("1","2","3","4","5");
myArray.pop(); // removes the last value "5"
myArray.shift(); // removes the first value "1"
How do you remove the value 3 and still have the correct length?

I am trying to use the class Sound of actionscript.My code is really basic :
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("mysound.mp3"));
trace( new String(snd.length));
snd.play();
The audio is playing very well but in my trace, I get 0 instead of the length in milliseconds of the Sound.

im trying to use array.length to get the total indexs of the array, before running a loop on all of thoes indexs when i attempt to do this(i added a few extra things for the sake of debugging and understanding)
ActionScript Code:
var selectcharacternames:URLVariables = new URLVariables(evt.target.data);
trace(selectcharacternames)[code]....
does array.length not work with url variables is it possible to turn url variables into a array(im assuming it is not a array as a reason why this doesnt work)

I've got some coding to create buttons into an array, and on press of these buttons the function should remove something from another array and remove the last one of the line, so far the coding is working for the first removal, however thereafter the other buttons stay there I think it's to do with the line in bold but I cant put my finger on what's wrong with it! The trace's I've set look plausible...
function removeList (event:MouseEvent):void{
myArray.splice(0,1);
list_text.text=myArray.join("");

How would I go about checking the length of a sub array? If I have a code like this:
ActionScript Code:
a = [["a0","a1", "a2", "a3","a4","a5"],
["a0","a1"]];
and I wanted to check the length of the second subarray (the answer would be 2) what would the syntax be?
Edit: the title should obviously be Multidimentional.

As we have in other languages like C, Java that once we define the length of an array we cannot assign any value to the array beyond it's length.[code]This kind of stuff is not possible in C and Java.However AS2.0 calmly accepts the value and increments the length of ii (array) from 3 to 5.Is there any means to restrict the array to accept only particular number of data.

I have an array which contains strings. I need to sort the array by the length of the string - longest string first.
e.g. if
myArray[0] = "xxx";
myArray[1] = "x";
myArray[2] = "xxxxxxx";
[Code].....
but it didn't work. I guess length is not a property of each array element.
By the way, the array is already large (270,000 elements) - so I need the sort to work very fast, and I don't want to be adding anything else into the array.

How do I set the width of the array and length and set each of the values in it to the same number. This is for a game I am working on. I know you use for loops to find the x and y of the values... This doesn't work, but think its how it suppose to work.
Code:
_global.ymap = 4;
_global.xmap = 4;
for (y=0; y<_global.ymap; y++) {
for (x=0; x<_global.xmap; x++) {
_global.map[y][x] = 1;
}} trace(_global.map[4][4]);

With a text field displaying "1 of 3", after 10 seconds, "2 of 3" ....etc. A bit similar to image galleries really (sorry if I haven't explained this very well).Anyhoo, heres what I have so far, it loads the mc's one after each other:
