Actionscript :: Get Index In An Array Of A Clicked Element In It?

Aug 10, 2011

I'm trying to create a virtual keyboard.

I have a class VirtualKeyboard which contains an array called keyboard of 26 movieclips, each one representing a letter.

In the main class, I create an object of the class VirtualKeyboard and added an eventlistener on it when a letter is clicked.[code]...

But the index always returns the value 4294967295.

How can I know which letter was clicked, I mean the index in the keyboard array corresponding to that letter?

The same code is working correctly if I put it in the VirtualKeyboard class, but not from the main class.

I tried this in the event handler :

var objectClicked:Object = event.currentTarget;
var index:uint = virtualKeyboard.keyboard.indexOf(objectClicked);

But the "index" always returns the value 4294967295

So how can I know which letter was clicked, I mean the index in the keyboard array corresponding to that letter?

Actionscript 3 :: Determine The Index Of An Element In Array That Has Been Clicked?

Jan 3, 2012

Say, I have an array of movie clips (dummies). Each dummy has an event listener and reacts to clicks. And when a dummy is clicked, I want to know the index of the clicked dummy.

I've only come up with this solution: run through the whole array of dummies and find out which dummy is the target, then exit the 'for' cycle and assign some global variable the value of counter variable, but this way the application I am building will demontsrate poor performance.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Index - Cannot Loop Through Every Element

May 31, 2010

I search the stage for the level I created and put the floor pieces into an array. I'm trying to test the properties I created for each piece by tracing to output when the hero sprite is within the floor pieces sides. This works fine when I specify the array index to do this for, but does not work when I try to loop through every element of the array. I see no reason why this code should not work.

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.getTimer;
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class MegaManTest extends MovieClip {
private var hero:Object;

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);

Flex :: Get The Index Of First Visible Element?

Jan 21, 2011

I have a simple list in Flex that is populated every N seconds by a dataprovider. My goal is to avoid scrolling the list after the dataprovider has been changed.

So, before I populate the list, I save the selectedIndex, and once the dataProvider is filled, I call:

list.selectedIndex = index;
list.scrollToIndex(index);

Trouble is that this moves the selected item of the list to the top. The solution would be to get the index of the first element displayed in the list: but I have no idea on how to get that.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Identifying A Clicked Element From MouseEvent?

Dec 9, 2009

I have several array element each assigned to different symbols on the stage and now I have assigned one function (fcn1) for each element's MOUSE_OVER event as follows:.

for(h = 0; h < fields.length; h++)
{
fields[h].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fcn1);

[code]....

Now in fcn1, I have to identify which element the mouse was over it. I could not do this because I can't pass any parameter to fcn1 other than e:MouseEvent. And I tried to look the properties and methods of e:MouseEvent that might give any information about the source element (in this case, array elements).So far, only way out of this was I create function for each array element which in turn call fcn1 with appropriate parameter, but it is cluttery.

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)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A Element To An Array With Array.push

Mar 14, 2005

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far

[Code]...

Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

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++)
{
