I am curious if this is an okay implementation of the Array.filter() method.
[Code]...
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 four buttons instances (of same object) on the stage first_btn,second_btn...fourth_btn). i created an array (btnArray) and stored buttons instance name in it. After this i created an timer event to cycle through all the button for certain interval.the code is:-
function timerListener(e:TimerEvent): void {
while ( i <= (btnArray.length - 1)) {
trace(btnArray[i]);

Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++) around, can do this:I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:
class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;
var public address;
var public telnumber;
}
And use a kind of data structure class(say, List) to store a few Company-type objects. And then, I define my own comparing and searching function on that List class(namely, override the default one); within my functions I could specify on which attribute(name, or address, or telephone number) to perform searching, and how it would be performed.
I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code]....
the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.
I'm looking for an efficient way to filter a specific color from a bitmapData object in ActionScript 3. Currently I use a loop with readByte32(). This takes about a second to process which is unacceptable. I have been trying to get paletteMap() to work but so far haven't been able to grasp its API (any truly useful links? Google has failed me...). Here's my current logic, which I want to improve:

I'm working with tons of array generated from a XML. How should I go about creating a search function that will be able to search and retrieve a particular nod from the array. Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.
View 1 RepliesI have got an array of objects, each with properties, plus those objects have sub objects.
Example
Code:
Array[0]
Object.id = 0
Object.name = fish
Object.Array[0]
object.id = 0
object.variety = red tetra
[Code] .....
So now it will go through every item in the array and work filterArray on it, but where to proceed from here?
How can I search for a keyword in an array?

Does anybody have an idea how to search the strings in the array? Let's say the user types "ci" to the search field, searching in "taste" (it would be marked). Now it should return the objects which have the string "ci" in the taste, as: apple - acid - red berry - acid - purple..

I have traces set up which seem to show that until I declare that Tween all is going as expected, but the last trace there shows -1, and when I check the values of each individual filter in the array they are all increasing and decreasing together.
I've been trying to move array elements from one array to another using the push method. The problem is that the element pushed should any longer be on the first array where it was taken from. That's where i'm stuck..

I have one global array, and I am pushing other arrays (which contain strings) in it.
[GOLD, SILVER, BRONCE]
[BLUE, RED, GREY, ORANGE, PURPLE]
[JUICE, BEER, WATER, MILK, COFFEE]
[MERC, BMW, SUBARU, MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA]
Lets say I have these 4 arrays, and I push them into global array in that order.
Example 1:
if I have string "MILK", I need to search the global array and what I want is to pull out last array (with cars) because "MILK" is contained in third array (going from the beggining).
Example 2:
if I choose "ORANGE" I want to pull out last 2 arrays (drinks and cars).
Example 3:
if I choose string from the last array ("MERC") nothing is pulled out. And by pull out I mean just get to it.
I'm working on a grid based game where a user selects a tile and all the tiles with the same colour that are beside it disappear. Up until now I've been using this very rudimentary method to find the neighbouring tiles with the same colour (see below) but now that the game has gotten more complex and larger grids are involved performance is starting to lag so I optimizing the code. have a Tile class like this:

I'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.

I just read the tutorial "Finding Values in an Array". Sure, the code works, but that's only because we are searching arrays the contain a small number of elements. Suppose we have n elements in an array. To search that array for a particular element we may have to do n comparisons. If the array we are searching contains 10 million elements, we have a problem; can you imagine doing "if (this == that)" 10 million times? There's got to be a better way to search the array. Or perhaps we shouldn't use arrays to store the information.
View 9 RepliesI have an array variable called ball[#], which value starts at 0 and is incremented up to 8. I also have a corresponding array variable called _ballPlaced which returns true or false if a ball is placed in a target zone. What I would like to do is retrieve the array value variable from the ball[#] at any time. For instance, the ball[#] variable can be clicked and dragged, so when it's selected it becomes the event.target. E.g. How can I put the array value of the ball[0] in the ball _ballPlaced array.
ActionScript Code:event.target._ballPlaced[/* retrieve vale of ball[0] array i.e. 0 and put it in here */]
I'm trying to retrieve the value of an array element in a trace statement...how do I go about this? I've had a look through the AS reference manual but can't work out what should follow the dot '.'?
ActionScript Code:
trace(currentBall.name + " is in " + zone[i]./* something here to retrieve array element value */);
i have several bitmap stored in an array in this way:
var my_bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
my_bmp = Bitmap (event.target.content);
my_bmp.smoothing = true;
bmpArray.push(my_bmp);
how can i get later (from the array) each different image and add eventually to a movieclip?
I have XML data that is loaded into a mulitdimensional array.
I would like to call that information later in my actionscript but it seems that the array has not populated before I want to use it.
I am using the onload() method of the XML object.
I can trace the contents of the array directly after it is loaded with my loop, but later in the code a trace returns "undefined". My array is globally scoped.
In actionscript 2 I was able to make indexed associative arrays. Ex:
var arr:Object = new Object();
arr[0] = {var1:"one", var2:"two"}
arr[1] = {var1:"a", var2:"b"}
In actionscript 3 I cant seem to do this.I get the error below.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
If I have an associative array, say, cars = {make: "Honda", year: "1997", model: "civic"} is there an actionscript function to retrieve just the keys, (namely make, year, and model)? If not, how could it be efficiently done?

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it.

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?
I want a random image from the xml to be loaded and displayed when gallery is opened, together with gallery thumbs. Then remaining images are to be loaded in the background.

How do i save an array of objects, like this: [{n:1,bb:4},{n:2,bb:4,r:1},{n:6,bb:7},...] to a database? I was thinking i would have to convert it to string, but if i do that, when i retrieve it from the database, how am i going to use it?
EDIT: forgot to mention that the objects can contain an array of objects as well, but there won't be any more arrays beyond that point.
[{n:1,bb:4},{n:2,bb:4,r:1},{n:6,bb:7},{arr:[{a:11,b:2},{a:11,b:2},...],r:1},...]
I know you can filter an array like so:
