C++ :: Actionscript 3 - Initializing A Vector With Type Array?
May 30, 2011
I have a quick question for you all. I'm trying to convert over some ActionScript code to C++ and am having a difficult time with this one line:
private var edges:Vector.<Array> What is this exactly? Is this essentially a multidimensional vector then? Or is this simply declaring the vector as a container? I understand from researching that vectors, like C++ vectors, have to be declared with a type. However, in C++ I can't just put down Array, I have to use another vector (probably) so it looks like:
I don't expect you guys to know the C++ equivalent because I'm primarily posting this with AS tags, but if you could confirm my understand of the AS half, that would be great. I did some googling but didn't find any cases where someone used Array as it's type.

I need to know the best method to find an item inside a list (Vector, Array, Dictionary, whatever is faster) of complex type (extensions of Objects and Sprites).I've used "Needle in Haystack" method, but it seems that it isn't fast enough.
E.g.Suppose that I have a collection of Sprites (a pool, in fact).Each sprite will be added to the stage and perform some action. After that, it will die.I don't want to pay the cost to dispose it (garbage collect) and create another (new) one every time so I'll keep the dead sprites in a collection.
Sometimes times I'll call a method that will add a sprite to the stage.This sprite can be a old one, if it is already dead, or a new one, if the pool don't have any free sprite.
One of the scenarios that pushed me to this question was a Particle System.A "head" particle leaving a "trail" of particles every frame and exploding into a flashy multitude of particles... Every frame...Some times this counts up to 50.000 PNGs with motion, rotation, alpha, event dispatching, scale, etc...But, this is JUST ONE scenario...At the moment I'm trying to use a Object Pool with a Linked List...Hopes that it will be faster that running a whole Array/Vector or create new instances every frame an let them dye with Garbage Collection.

Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
Is there a way to temporarily suppress this on a specific block of code? I am creating a HUGE dynamic 3d array of objects, 1000x1000x1000 and need the build to actually finish the initializing.

I have some code that initializes an array (arrQAnswer) that stores what button the user clicked on (0,1,2, or 3). That option it put into arrQAnswer, then compared against arrCorrectAnswer to see if the user got the question right. The problem is that for each time the user clicks on a button, they are taken to a new screen to display feedback based on the answer of the question. If the user gets the question wrong they are returned to the original screen and try again. This is where arrQAnswer is screwing up (or more likely, where I am screwing up). On the first question where the user chooses an answer, then returns to that screen, arrQAnswer re-intializes. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Note that it only happens on the first question, I think that is because the first question is on the same frame as the code (below):

I have a class which takes a Vector.<DisplayObject> in it's constructor. I had expected it to be ok to create instances of this class by passing Vectors of types that are subclasses to the DisplayObject class (in this case Sprite ans SimpleButton). But it doesn't work. And casting these Vectors as Vector.<DisplayObject> when declaring the instances doesn't work either. [code]...

Trying to create a 2D vector. I'm getting type coercion errors when trying to store the 2nd vector inside the first.
Code:
var vector1:Vector.<Vector> = new Vector.<Vector>
var vector2:Vector.<CustomClass> = new Vector.<CustomClass>
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
vector2[i] = new CustomClass()
}
vector1[0] = vector2;
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type __AS3__.vec:Vector.<CustomClass> to an unrelated type __AS3__.vec:Vector.

I have a class member in an ActionScript 3 class that looks something like this:
private var m_myvect :Vector.<MyType> = new <MyType>[];
I'm exposing it through a getter, like this:
public function get mydata() :Vector.<MyType>
Which doesn't help when I use it like this:
for (var o:Object in inst.mydata)
{
...
}
... because the type of o is not MyType, but Number instead, because it enumerates the vector indices instead of the data.How would I expose only the data within the vector in a way which:Does not expose the data in a way which allows it to be modified?

Typically you create a Vector (strongly typed array) specifying a data type like:
new Vector<PictureBox>();
However I need to create a utility method that should be able to create a vector of any given datatype. Is it possible to specify a type using a variable instead of hard-coding it?
var type:Class = PictureBox;
new Vector<type>();

So I have this waky idea that I would put an array list (or list) or items inside a vector.
For example an array of fruit containing bananas, apples and oranges inside a vector of type fruit.
I could get the array list and thenwalk through it to get what I want.

What is the most efficient way to empty an Array or Vector in ActionScript 3?I've always just re-initialized them:
vector = new Vector.<T>();
array = [];
It doesn't look like there's an empty() function or anything similar.

I've run into a strange Vector out of range error when trying to splice a Vector array. The idea is to cut off the Vector array after a certain point....
var vec:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
vec.push(1);vec.push(2);vec.push(3);vec.push(4);vec.push(5);
vec.splice(3,vec.length); // output RangeError: Error #1125: The index 5 is out of range 5.
The strange thing is that it works perfectly, if I change the Vector to a regular array like:

I've been working on this for a while, and thought I understood the BitmapData class at least well enough to do basic stuff with it, but I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to make a preload function that will load external JPEGs, store them in an Array as BitmapData objects, then distribute them to thumbnail objects after all the images are loaded. The thumbnails are based on an external class I wrote, which already has a function to accept variable data.
My problem is, I can't seem to find a way to store BitmapData objects in an Array. I've even tried using a Vector.<BitmapData> object, but I get the same result, which is no data stored.
Here's the function, isolated from the rest of the script.
[Code]....
The result of this function is supposed to be, a series of images loaded one after the other, stacked 5 pixels down from each other. However, the actual result is, only the last loaded image is displayed. That's true for any number I place in the 'for' loop, only the last loaded image gets displayed.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong with the loading of the 'bitBucket' BitmapData, because it seems to be writing over the previous BitmapData in the Vector series.

I need to copy a 2 dimensional Array or Vector (8x8), the only success i have had so far is using 2x For loops actually assigning the primatives from one Array/Vector to another (works for 1 or 2, but on the scale i need to run this it is unsuitable).
After a bit of digging on the internet i saw that .concat() is the fastest and most code-efficient way to copy, but i can't seem to get it to work?
Here's what i'm doing:
Code:
var _squares:Array = new Array();

I'm developing a small library and trying to outweigh the pros and cons of using Vector vs. Array. So far, I can only think of a few things to think of: Vector only works for FP10, while Array works for both 9 and 10. Vector is typed (which is a wonderful, fabulous thing), but if I'm only using the Array as a private variable, so I have full control over what goes in and comes out of it, this factor may not play as great a part anymore, but definitely great protection.
I believe I heard somewhere that Vector is a lot faster than Array, yet in a quick inconclusive speed test I did a while back, it didn't seem to make any real difference at all. Is Vector really faster than Array? If so, is it faster in all aspects, or only faster in certain situations just as uint is only faster than Number when using byteshifting?

How would you go about initializing a Vector. with say the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Logic would say you could do newVector = new Vector. ( [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] );
You could also try something like this...
var tmp = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
newVector = new Vector.();
newVector = newVector.concat(tmp);
But then you get a type error converting Array to Vector.
I'm stumped, am I missing something stupid or does the vector class really not play well with numeric types? You can try making them decimal numbers just to be sure they get cast as number and not int.
