Flash - For Loop Only Returning Last Item In Array?
Nov 25, 2009
In a nutshell, I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last.I have a single frame movie where I create a simple array of strings from an external text file:
_global.i = 0;
_global.numplaces = 0;
_global.PlacesArray = new Array();
[code]....
The traces work fine and show that the for loop is iterating properly. However the place.htmlText dynamic text in a movie nested one level down (for tweening purposes) that I'd like the loop to update is only updating with the last item in the array.

I'm wondering how I can return the value of an array that is being created inside a for loop?I have created a class that is using ZendAmf to grab page titles out of a database. After the connection is made I put the page titles into an array with a for loop. I would like the class to return the value of the completed array.
I have tried using a public array variable and a getter, but I'm never going to get the correct value until the for loop finishes. So how would I go about getting the array variable after the loop has completed?I'd rather not set a listener that listens for a boolean inside the for loop.

I am now trying to make it a class. It appears to work except I only get the last item in the array. Not sure how to fix. colorHolder_mc is added prior to the loop.

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.

I have an array. I have a button, when I press on it I want to be able to loop through every item in the array and see if EVERY item is equal to true, if so I want something to happen.
var allIsTrue = false;
_global.myArray = [false, true, false, true, false, true, false, false, false, false, false, false, false,false,false,true]
///would not do something
[Code].....
I thought I could loop through each one and if a false statement if found, the loop stops and the variable allIsTrue = false. But if the loop cycles all the way through allIsTrue = true.

[I apologise if this isn't really an in depth question, but I wanted to solve this once and for all]I was trying to get look into quadtrees, but already ran into trouble getting collision detection without any optimization working properly. Did a search and found a pretty neat example:Only some collisions are detected between particular objects. When the objects are not moving it seems to work alot better for some reason. really can't figure out whats the problem, the code is essentially the same as the sample. I did not blindy copy pasted it, I understands whats happening except Here is what I did:Main class
package
{
import com.martino.objects.Square;

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?

I have two two-dimensional arrays, and this line of code:
openListParents[compWith] = openList[olID];
Does it work? Yes. However, openListParents[compWith] becomes openList[olID], but I want openListParents[compWith] to be the value of openList[olID]. This is what I get when I press CTRL+ALT+V:
[Code].....
This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I built a class that parses JSON data, stores it in an array, and now I want to return that data so that it can be stores in an array in my root AS file. I'm eventually trying to pass the returned array to another class. My class looks like this:
package com.src
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]....
I keep getting the following error however:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method payload through a reference with static type com.src.DataGrab.
Does anyone have advice on what might be wrong with my class, or a more logical way to write the getResults() function so that I can get retrieve the array being generated by this class?

Sorry if this is a little n00b-ish. I'm working in AS3. I've got an array of 8 buttons. I'm currently hiding the button that is clicked using e.currentTarget. How can I tell flash to make all the buttons that aren't the currentTarget to become visible (i.e. if a button has been hidden by previously being clicked, how do I tell it to become visible again when another button is clicked?)

I have what I think should be a very simple problem. I have an array and can access an element of it like this:
var test = finalArray[0];
Will be a number between 1 and 7
say this will trace a number.No there is a movieclip on the root of stage whose name is a letter (always the same, say "R") and whatever the number is. I'm trying to get this movieclip to gotoAndStop at the frame corresponding to the number that is test. However this isn't working:
"R"+[test as MovieClip.gotoAndStop(test)];

The code is coming up with [Text Object] instead of what the text actually is (and if I actually add .text it calls up absolutely nothing). This functions perfectly well when using the standard array without the sub-properties and {} brackets (so I think the problem might be somewhere in the push statements). I am not understanding what the error is (probably something blatantly simple, my only guess being some sort of conversion problem).

Simple. Take the array [4,6,6,7,8,8] for example.we have the number 6 and 8 twice.Isn't there a method to return this array like: [4,6,7,8] ?or, how can I push this number into the array only if they are not pushed yet?I tryed to make a loop with condition to check if the numbers was already there, but I had no bliss.this is my code now:

I've got an array (called "thearray") that I've just sorted alphabetically using thearray.sort.I then wanted to check if a certain item (myItem) was in the array, so I did a loop:
for (var w=0; w<thearray.length; w++){
if (thearray[w]==myItem) trace("this item has been found in the array")
Now, I want to know if it's possible to return the new position number of the item in the array - ie finding the element number of myItem (as in arrayelement[0], arrayelement[1], arrayelement[2]-- the number in the [ ].)

I have an object array into which I've pushed a number of objects with different variables :- myArray.push({myRef: 1, myValue: "W"}); I can sort the array in numerical order using :-myArray.sortOn("myRef", Array.NUMERIC);but after sorting I would like to collapse the array using something along the lines of :-myArray.join("");to join the OTHER variable (myValue)...Is it possible to do this without pushing every instance of 'myValue' to another array and then joining that?

I'm making an activity that involves measuring the depth of a fictitious river at various points. I have an array containing those depths at the various points and a slider for traversing through the depths and outputting to a textfield.
As the user moves the slider up and down, they can see the depth of the river at that point and plot it onto a graph. What I would like to do is be able to figure out the depths inbetween the explicitly defined values.
here is the code, it's pretty simple:

How would I go about figuring out the values inbetween?

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.5 on an Actionscript project. I've created the following classes:
package
{
public class ComplexNumber
{
[Code]....
but the code inside this loop generates the following run time error: "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on ComplexArray." Thus, my code for "BXFN_complex[ii] = ~" is incorrect. Anyone know how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Basically, ComplexDivide.v1p0 returns two numbers, and BXFN_complex is an object containing two number arrays, and I want to assign the ComplexDivide two numbers into the ii'th element of arrays in BXFN_complex.

I have an array with many values pushed into it (happen to be names of objects). I am using a for loop to check all of the objects (by index number) for collisions, etc. Periodically, depending on a condition, I want to remove the currently checked object's name from the array list. I noticed that there is a problem if I immediately splice the checked name from the list. Namely, the list gets shorter, which is what I want, but not until I'm done checking all objects. Is it a good idea to solve the issue by incrementing i-- after the splice? I do this so that the object that used to be next in the list doesn't get skipped.It seems to work very well but I want to know if this is a lame/problematic solution and if there are any better ways of dealing with it
for (i=0;i<myarray.length;i++){
var ob=myarray[i]
//any old condition

I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}

I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....
I know that I need some sort of removeChild() in there, but I cannot get it to actually work.
