I have an created an associative array of MovieClips, but when I try to iterate through them, the for loop never gets entered (nothing gets outputted). It's like as-if the Array is empty.
var navItems:Array = new Array();
navItems["home"] = item_home;
navItems["featuredfilms"] = item_featuredfilms;

How can I iterate through all the MovieClips in a MovieClip
View 2 RepliesHow can I iterate through all the MovieClips in a MovieClip ?
View 2 RepliesWhat do you think is the fastest way to iterate across an array? To access and perform an operation on each element stored..
Is there a difference if your array is varied or if it only contains one class type
I'm trying to build a small app that will iterate through an array of sound files to see if they are valid.I'm simulating corrupt sound files by taking .png's and changing the extension on them to .mp3 The idea is a sound will start playing and the timer will start. When the sound is done playing the next sound will start and the timer will reset and start counting down again. If a sound does not finish within 45 seconds the timer will complete, output the name of the file that did not finish, and then skip to the next file. For some reason though the timer does not reset when the sounds finish playing, it just keeps counting down from wherever it is.

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com {
public class CreateList extends MovieClip {
//this is the object I will be recycling
private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

I'm having trouble with the push statement.On my stage I have ten blocks labeled Block1,Block2,...Block10. I added these blocks manually by dragging anddropping. Did this because it is easier for me to figure where theyshould be on the stage than trying to code a routine for it.In my .as file I created an array to hold all these blocks. Ican easily add one block to the array by using code such as:
blockArray.push(Block1)
or
blockArray.push(Block10)

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I'm trying to optimize a site I'm building with Django/Flash and am having a problem using Django's iterate over chunks() feature. I'm sending an image from Flash to Django using request.POST data rather than through a form (using request.FILES). The problem I foresee is that if there is large user volume, I could potentially kill memory. But it seems that Django only allows iterating over chunks with request.FILES. Is there a way to:
1) wrap my request.POST data into a request.FILES (thus spoofing Django)
or
2) use chunks() with request.POST data
I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection.

I have an array wich is filled with platforms that are supposed to move.

Right now I have 2 moving platforms in this array. But only one moves up and down. But they both register a touch with the birdie.
This should hopefully just be a quickie. I'm slowly starting to learn Flash and Actionscript and right now I'm a bit more stuck than usual. I have an array, "container", to which new movieclips are added by clicking a button. When they are added they are given a name, "pic" + i, and are added at the corresponding index "i". Now, what if I want to change the position of a certain movieclip in the array or alter its alpha value? I tried something like:

I have a new flash with several objects(classes) created in as3.They are called Ball1,Ball2,Ball3 and are of type Ball.I wish to be able to insert them into an array and have the array loop test them all against each other like eg. array[i].interact(array[i+1]) and so forthAdditional things I'ld like are:Making sure an object isnt tested against itself,removing objects from an array.sorting the array(if neccessary).adding new objects to the array
View 10 RepliesI worked again on a new Project and stumbled while trying Arrays. I have two cubes(cube_mc, cube2_mc) in my scene.
My code:
var gy:Number = 0;
var gravity:Number = .2
var moving:Array = new Array(cube_mc, cube2_mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gravityFUNC);
function gravityFUNC(event:Event):void{
gy+=gravity;
moving.y+=gy;
};
I was trying to put both cubes into the array, and then affecting the whole Array with gravity. When I test it nothing happens, and it shows no errors.

ive come across this method 'as' and I dont get it.I am following a tut, and i have an array with my objects stored in it(for reference to control these sprites).They are instantiations of my sprite class 'Ball.as'
Code:
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
var myMCs:Ball = myMCs[i] as Ball;
}
when I remove it - flash doesnt seem to mind its absence.
Is it possible to execute a "foreach" through each of my SharedObjects?
Something like this . . .
_so = SharedObject.getLocal("test","/");
foreach (var item:Object in _so)
{
// print key name and value
}
Lets suppose, I have a class with so many public properties
class person{
public var address:String;
public var name:String;
public var fathername:String;
//etc etc
}
Now i want to iterate over them in a simple way like
for (var key:string in person){
trace("property is " + key + " and value is " + person[key]);
}
But AS3 doesnt allow this to do with Classes
what would be the better and simple way to iterate over them as i dont want to do so many if(else) on it.
Say, for example, I have a car on a flat plane. It can move either left, up, right or down. I also have 10 obstacles on the stage. Each time the car hits one of them it should automatically turn to avoid it. I could loop through each obstacle and check if it is colliding with the car but a better approach would be to make an obstacle class that checks if the car is going to collide with that obstacle and if it does, make it change direction. My problem though is what about if I had 5 cars? Would the obstacle class have to loop through each of the cars to check if any are colliding with it? My main concern with this is how much the performance of the program would be affected. I imagine with only 5 cars the difference would be insignificant, but what if I had 1000 cars and 1000 obstacles? Going back to the first example, it is easy to see how you can use a class as opposed to using a loop but with the second example, I just don't know.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to iterate through a MovieClip's child MovieClips?
Lets say I have a MovieClip "a_mc" which itself is made up of n number of child movieclips. Is there a way to iterate through all the children without creating an instance for each one?
I would like to know is there a way to iterate through all parents in a display object.I need to do this because i am loading swfs to application and swfs have different number of nested movieClips and i would like to be able to access loader properties like width and height dynamically from within any depth.
View 2 RepliesI am using Flex dictionary to store ValueObjects with Timestamp as the 'key' for each object.
Given a timestamp, I want to iterate over the dictionary starting from the given timestamp key value.
The Docs discuss the following for dictionary iteration, but this iterates from the first key-value pair.
for (var key:Object in myDictionary)
{
trace(key, myDictionary[key]);
