Right now I am using ArrayCollection. But I want to change that to Set as I want make sure do duplicate values come.
var addressList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
One way is I can use Dictionary and store addresses as a key. And I can just use keys to iterate. But I am looking for Java HashSet like implementation.
Why might it be useful to store an object (i.e. a Movieclip) as a key in a dictionary? Does any one have any examples of where it's used/is useful?
View 5 RepliesThe dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{
var id:int;
var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
In my project, I need to get all IP adresses from my PC. I find out, that if I have more than one LAN it is quite problem. I use ZINC to get IP adress from my PC:
var ipAddress:String = mdm.Network.IPAddress;
but this get me only one IP and no all of them.

View 4 RepliesI had a php programmer write me a script to download information from a local real estate board, and it works great, but we had to have it download to an xml file using urlencode in php (there were characters in the listings that caused problems - ie. > < & "). Anyways, now I'm parsing the information in flash, and still left with a few "+" signs between street names (ie. Bear+Mountain Road).
I tried adding:
var loadVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();loadVars.decode(i.attributes.street);trace(i.attributes.street);
In my actionscript, but I still end up with "Bear+Mountain Road."
I guess either the "decode" function doesn't work to remove "+" signs, or I'm using the wrong thing. Right now it seems to be ONLY "+" signs, so even if there is a way to search the attribute and remove them that would be great!
I have managed to install the trial version of FMS - developer 4.5 using the defaults including Apache, and it works reasonably well. However it has used-up all the available IP addresses so that IIS does not now work. I need IIS and FMS to reside together on the same server, as IIS provides document download and upload for our web-site on a different server. I have tried changing the FMS.ini file to limit the IP and Ports used, but to little use. My server is Win2k8 R2, and IIS V7.5 + V7.0 for FTP; all 64bit.
View 6 RepliesI'm using the weather.com XML service to retrieve forecast data. I created an instance of UrlLoader and passed the entire HTTP address including credentials, location and other parameters to it. This works very well in tandem with the XML(urlLoader.data) functionality in that I get the result for the specified location ID. I then use E4X to trace just the nodes needed.
The tricky part is that I have to do this for 19 additional cities. I've done the initial work in the Main class, Main function, private function onXmlLoaded. I tried creating a new public function getCityName making the new URLRequest, tracing XML and adding values to my components. However, when I attempt this, I receive
Error 5006: An ActionScript file cannot have more than one externally visible definition.
How can I easily setup the URLRequest to request data for all 20 cities, and parse the results thereafter? Do I pass an array of location IDs to URLRequest, because that's the only part of the HTTP request that's different. Do I create separate ActionScript files with their own class and functions for each of the 20 queries?[code]...
I have a comboBox that I need to associate different email addresses with the different selections (the "selections" are the labels of the comboBox - not the data... the data fields for the comboBox are blank). right now, as written it returns "email2" no matter which I pick.
Code:
if (comboBoxName.getValue() == (("selection1") || ("selection2") || ("selection3") || ("selection4") || ("selection5") || ("selection6") || ("selection7") || ("selection8"))) {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email1";
} else {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email2";
}
Also, is there an easier way to do this than by using the if statement?

Normally in Flex you use a collection like ArrayCollection as the dataprovider for components. I often have data stored as a dictionary whose values I would like to use as a dataprovider.
View 2 RepliesI'm working with a large set of hierarchical taxonomic terms, where each term ("203") has a matching "term203" movie clip on the stage, and am having trouble getting a recursive function to return all of a given term's descendants.There is a main Dictionary() object with the following nested organization for each term:
{ [object Movie Clip] : { "tid":203, "parent":99, "name":"Culture", selected:false, "otherData":"etc" } }
...where the [object Movie Clip]'s instance name would be "term203". All of these object:subObjectArray items ("terms") are stored in a master taxonomy:Dictionary() object.I've been trying to make a recursive function (which is in itself already a little above my head) that takes the click.target of a movie clip and returns a new Dictionary() object with all of the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren (etc) of that term, in the same, nested organization described above.
The code below traces the right number of recursive loops, but the returned Dictionary() object only contains the first run's terms (only the immediate children of the requested term).
var taxonomy:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
// ...Term info is loaded into taxonomy from a JSON-style text file)
// ...MOUSE_OVER event listeners are added to each
[code]....
I certainly do not claim to be the most efficient AS3 programmer, so I am open to alternative configurations. However, after trying static and nested Arrays, I would prefer to continue using the Dictionary() object as my main pool.As noted, only the immediate children end up animating in the revealChildren() function. It's mystifying to me then, that in the getAllChildren() function, all of the descendants trace sequentially (well in no particular order) in the output window.Also I can't get any sort of name or property out of the subSet Object. That could be the problem.I've only tested it as far as 'two generations,' but it seems that only the first round of calling the function successfully adds those terms to the new Dictionary() object and returns it intact to the animating function.
I'm often seeing others using a Dictionary object in their AS3 code that simply maps objects by String keys and wondering if there is any advantage at all of using a Dictionary over a simple Object if String keys are used. Anyone know any details on this? I would suppose that since an Object is more lightweight it should be faster and preferable over a Dictionary if used with String keys.
View 1 Replieswhy the Dictionary class ignores setPropertyIsEnumerable? I found this bug at bugs.adobe, seems the prototype might be involved in some devious way.Here is some test code:
var obj:Object = {
'a': 0,
'b': 1,[code]......
Notice that the Dictionary is still enumerating the property "a" even though it was told not to.
What is the correct way to determine if a Dictionary contains a particular key or not?
In Java I can do:
HashMap x= new HashMap();
x.containsKey("test"); // returns true/false
Is this the correct way in AS3?
var xictionary = new Dictionary();
x["test"] == null
[Code]...
in Java this: dict.keySet()
View 6 Repliessomehow plug a dictionary into flash which can be used to verify words in a word creation game I'd like to create..
Sounds perfectly feasible but I just wouldn't know where to start in finding it... are there ones which are readily available ?? (preferably free)
for (var k in dictionary)
{
var key:KeyType = KeyType(k);
var value:ValType = ValType(dictionary[k]); // <-- lookup
// do stuff
}
This is what I use to loop through the entries in a dictionary. As you can see in every iteration I perform a lookup in the dictionary. Is there a more efficient way of iterating the dictionary (while keeping access to the key)?
As the title suggests, is it possible to use AMF to encode/decode Dictionaries (without subclassing, that is)? For example, here's a test case:

What exactly is the difference between an object and a dictionary in Actionscript?

obj.something = "something";
var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();

The trace statement seems identical...
I am writing my destructor but I am not sure how to make sure that my Dictionary object is completely dismantled.
Do I just walk the keys and 'delete' the objects? If so do I need to destroy the keys? or are they already removed when the object is removed from the Dictionary?[code]...
I have an ARRAY which contains single symbols and DICTIONARY in where every symbol in array is attached to unique string, what I want to do - is to merge ARRAY and DICTIONARY together, and as a result receive RESULT_ARRAY where order of elements is equal to ARRAY but elements are replaced according to a DICTIONARY.

//for example
//this is what we have -
var originalA:Array = new Array ();
originalA[0]="y";

Has anyone tried sending a Dictionary through the arguments of ExternalInterface.call()?What happens to it when it reaches the Javascript side, because from what I understand JavaScript does not have a Dictionary implementation.
