I am trying to remove an object from an array. but from some reason its not working. I am under the impression that a splice accepts 2 parameters. the position of the array. and for parameter 2 , how many to delete from then on out.I just want to delete one array so I am doing this array. splice (i,0);but it isn't working. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong. enlighten me on how it suppose to work.
View 3 RepliesI am running a hittest to see if my avatar hits a food movie clip. When it does I want to remove the child that has been hit. I have put all the food movieclips into an array called prey.
Currently what I have when my avatar hits a food it removes the whole array but I only want the food movie clip which has been hit to be removed.

i think the title explains how to do it, but i am making it so that there are a ton of movieclips in arrays, and i want the specific one clicked to be removed... here is my code, it isnt working...

I was just wondering whether it would be possible to remove an object from an array without referencing its index, for example when the index is unknown, or when you want to splice it from within the class itself, like ina die function for an enemy in an array. I have a project due on Friday morning, GMT.

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?
I have an array of buttons in a public var in _model.btnArray. I want to make a function that i can pass an index number parameter that will add addEventListener to the button at that index and removeEventListener to all other buttons in the array. The function creates a tempArray:Array and assigns _model.btnArray to it. Then it addEventListener to the index passed as a parameter to the function. Then it splices the passed index out of the tempArray and then loops through spliced tempArray to remove all the EventListeners from it. which should be the listeners on all the buttons except for that one spliced. but this isn't working, its giving me an error and i don't know why.should this be working or is it just wrong?
Code:
function addRemoveEventListener(num:Number){
var tempArray:Array = _model.btnArray;

View 1 RepliesI'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?

I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.
I noticed something dangerous while working with AS3 - some objects (namely DisplayObjects / MovieClips) tend to remain in the memory and even perform actions after all references to them have been removed.
I work with Flash CS 5.5 and Flash Builder 4.6.
After getting rid of all references (including removeChild(...) from the Document Class) some objects just seem to stay alive.
This question might come off as a bit broad - but what I am trying to understand is what can I do to MAKE SURE that an object is picked up by the Garbage Collector? More so, how can I get some sort of feedback from the GC that signifies that a certain object has been destroyed? (For example, a console message)

I've highlighted where the problem is occurring. Now, I think what I'm trying to do is remove an object from within another object. I think the object I'm trying to remove is actually on the root.
Here's what I'm currently doing/trying to do to accomplish my goal. But it is not removing the "row" the way I would like it too.
So, I'm making an object, then pushing it into an array. And the adding to the array part works fine and just as I expect.
var nearProfileInfoObj:Object = new Object();
nearProfileInfoObj.type = "userInfo";
nearProfileInfoObj.dowhat = "add";
[Code].....
But this doesnt seem to be deleting the whole row like it implies.
how do you find an object's index / position within an array in flash actionscript 3? I am trying to set a conditional up in a loop where, if an object's id is equal to the current_item variable, I can return its position within the array.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a game that involves cargo, and I plan to have a large number of cargo types. Currently I have a Cargo class, and a ship carrying cargo has an array of the Cargos it is holding. I'd really rather not have each ship with a bunch of objects when all I really want to know is how much of which cargoes each ship has. Especially when these ships will be created and discarded a lot.
I'm sure the thing I'm looking for is so basic I'll look dumb for even asking, but I know there's something similar to an array that holds an object and a related value. I want to use that to reference the Cargo type from the static array, and hold the quantity.
What's it called? How would I use it (ie what are common functions used for it)? Some code snippets and terminology would be ideal.

I am trying to use the following code to convert an object read in from a ByteArray to an Array and store it:
var data:Object = ba.readObject();
var invObjects:Array = data as Array;
In debugging, I find that 'data' is indeed populated with the correct data and takes up memory and is in an Array friendly format. However, invObjects is NULL. How does merely saying 'data as Array' make the holding variable suddenly null?

View 1 RepliesHow do I find an object's index in an array
I have an array of objects similar to[code]...
After chatting with my coworkers, they have suggested I enumerate this into a large array of indexed values with references to which index they are associated with, for instance [code]...
i would like to place various instances of the same library object on the stage.
the different instances (0,1,2,...) are meant to be containers for their individual content. hence, each instance (0,1,2,...) is one container and each containter embeds different placeholders (textfields- and image-instances) in itself.

For days now I have been trying to get this hit test to work and which ever way I try it, it always comes back to the same result. I get a hit on the last item I pushed into my array but none on the previous items I pushed in. Also if I put a .sort() on the array it only gives a hit on the last item of the array, no matter which one I push in.
The idea is that I want to drag and drop objects onto the stage, they may not overlap so I need a hit test on the objects so I can make them undroppable when the hit test is true.
This is the part I have for dragging the objects to the stage, and adding them to arrays for the hit test.
Code:
private function onClickDragBuilding1ToGameField(e:MouseEvent):void{
building1Placeholder.x = mouseX-25;
building1Placeholder.y = mouseY-25;
[Code]...
Now if I run this I can add the object to the stage just fine no errors or other issues but the hit test only works on the last object I added to the stage/array and not the previous object I added to the stage/array.
Sso I drag the first object to the stage. (no other object are available yet so nothing happens, this is as it should be) Then I drag a second object to the stage, this reacts to the first object and returns the hit test as true. (Also great and working as it should.) Then I drag a 3th object to the stage, this reacts to the 2nd object I dragged just fine and return a true value, but it does not react to the 1 object I dragged onto the stage. Then when I drag a 4th object to the stage it will react to the 3th object I added, but not the 1st ad 2nd object.
I created an array in the var declarations with Code: var private eDrag:Array In a function that adds imported mcs to the stage, I also added code to push each to the array. Here is an example of a block of code loading the object with the part pushing the object to the array at the end:

View 0 RepliesI have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.
I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?
Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using
Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}
Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?
