this is my sample code
var i:Number = new Number();
trace("showarray length" + showArray.length);
for(i=0;i<showArray.length;i++){[code].....
wherenever the if is satisfied it stops looping it immediately goes out of the loop.this is a sample output given that the length of showArray is 2 and num = 0
showarray length2

I've been trying out Flash Builder for the first time and I can't seem to get it working...
First off I have these bits of very basic code:
[Code]...
Another key problem: Flash Builder cannot connect to the debugger, even though I've installed it twice now.Can anyone help me here? I've made sure my firewall is off, but could this be causing problems?
I need to dynamically bind properties of components created at runtime. In this particular case please assume I need to use bindProperty. I don't quite understand why the following simplistic test is failing (see code). When I click the button, the label text does not change. I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

I'm trying to make flash animations w/ text. I don't know how to make buttons though so I can advance the movie. I really have NO idea so I need details on EVERYTHING past opening up a new as3 document.
View 3 RepliesI am only at the very beginning and I want to make certain that I go through this understanding everything that can so maybe I won't have to ask as many questions in the forums and can start answering more. In this part:The code for making a standard generic object in Flash is as follows:
myObject = new Object();
The variable myObject then becomes a object variable which can then have more variables added to it using dot syntax like so.Is myObject the actual name of the variable and the = new Object simply stating that there is a new object called myObject?
I started out learning AS3 on my own a while ago without any programming experience whatsoever. I'm still in my diapers, but slowly progressing. Currently I'm working on a short animation with some code involved. Part of the animation is a herd of cows grazing in a pasture. I have a class called Cow which extends MovieClip and on the Cow timeline I have the walk cycle and other cow movements animated. When a cow is walking it slowly moves horizontally, along the x axis. I want the cows, when walking to also randomly move up and down (along the y axis) which would basically look as though the cow is moving further away or moving closer towards us. I'll be resizing each cow, according to its y position to create the effect of perspective (near and far).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to make the cow move either up or down the y axis in a somewhat random way. By "somewhat random" I mean that I don't want the cow to switch directions every second, but rather something like: 5 seconds moving up the y axis, then maybe 8 seconds moving down, then possibly 4 up, then 11 down, etc. It would be super if I could also have a velocity factor involved, meaning that when changing directions - from up to down, or down to up - I prefer that the change is smooth, like as in a ease out and then ease in.

I'm trying to get to grips with having a function that can accept an input that is passed to it as it is called, and then use that input in its workings.As I'm writing more code, it's becoming clear that this is something that I need to pick up, but despite reading and playing about with it, I'm still a little confused.The code is designed for a character's "level up" screen. When the button next to a stat is pressed, I want it to pass the name of that stat to the statUp function, which will increase the selected stat by one.In my main file I have this code, to call the function when the button is pressed. (In this example, it is the Strength button)
ActionScript Code:
_root.buttonStr.onPress = function()
{
[code]........
I was pretty good at 2.0 but 3.0 has completely lost me. I've been reading up on it and getting a handle on it, but in the entire Actionscript 3 BIBLE I have not been able to figure out the simplest, key part that links it all together. How, in the name of everything that's holy, do I communicate between the stage and the "ever-necessary, more secure, more robust" AS files I'm creating? I wish I could give specific code, but I'm just looking for the guideline. If I create a function in a class, I can't call it in the timeline or a button, or even a line down from it in the AS file (call to possibly undefined method).
If I create a sprite in my AS file and then try to add it to the stage, addChild is an undefined method or function. If I create a movie clip in flash, export it for actionscript, it's undefined in my AS file. Just show me how I can write a super simple program where the thing on the STAGE interacts with the thing in the AS file, and I can take it from there.
Is there a way to modify this tutorial to execute selectedItem on ROLL_OVER instead of click? I changed
lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,itemChange);
to
lb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, itemChange);
but when I rollover a list item I get: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at as3xml_finished_fla::MainTimeline/itemChange()
I've just been following the Basics of Papervision3D tut, which is very good by the way, the only one I've ever managed to get working.And I'd like to write the code as a separate as file, but I'm having a bit of trouble.In the class definition, what should it extend?[code]I tried everything I can think of and looked at other tuts to see what they've done but nothing works.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying all day to get the Papervision3D Collada Basics tutorial to work and every time I run the file I end up with an empty black screen. No matter what I've tried i cannot get anything to show up. Finally I had the idea to download the source files from the tutorial and run those 'as is' without changing anything. When I opened the SWF created by Lee, all i saw was the same blank black screen. Has anyone else run into this? All other Flash files seem to be fine,
View 3 RepliesI've been reading through all the various threads related to the drawing API and saving drawings. About a hundred times I've seen mention of "log mouse positions into an array" and stuff like that, but I can't find any clear and simple examples of how to do this.
Let's take a very simple use of the drawing object to do freeform drawing. What is the AS to capture the mouse XYs as the user draws and put that into an array. I can't figure out how to get Flash to keep updating things as I go, it invariably grabs the fist point and that's it. Could one of you AS gods just write out a super simple routine for this? I know I'm not the only one that needs this (as it seems to be asked every week) Let's use the most basic drawing example I can find:

I have a bit of Flash experience, did a full featured movie player, other stuff in AS3 and got plenty of programming skills in other languages, BUT now I need to create a multi paged website. Quite easy, a few pages, some animations here and there, nothing fancy, got all the graphics.
But time is short on this one, so I need some advice about good practices (pack everything into one main MC or make separate swfs and load them in, etc.), where to begin, or what kind of book should I grab to make the job pretty.
I'm trying to loop through an XMLList and rather than giving me each item in the list as XML, it's just coming back with the positions as strings e.g.
[Code]...
It just alerts "0" or "1". If I inspect the 'item' variable, I see the same thing. But if I inspect 'myList' it looks like the XML. I've also tried myList.children() and strongly typing 'items' to 'XML' but nothing I do has worked.
I have a DataGrid which contains a DataGridColumn with a textinput and DataGridColumn with a Button.The DataGrid is bound to some XML which displays values in the text box.When the button for a row is clicked I need to get the value out of the text box and save it into the relevant XML node.My solution was just to pass the id of the row to the button click event then loop over the rows until I find the id then just grab the text box value. Simple. However the only advice I can find on looping over the rows is via the underlying dataProvider, which is nonsense as the two aren't the same thing.
View 2 RepliesI am using a GroupingCollection to bind my advanceddatagrid. I have used groupingcollection to group the data by date.
Now I need to select the data in the datagrid through the code. I need to loop through the adg's dataprovider and select the item that matches the criteria for the selection.
I'm just starting to learn flex and AS3I'm trying to get information into a datagrid that originates from a mathmatical formula. For example if I have 100 and I subtract 5 from it and continue to do so until it reaches 0 so my grid would be something like:
100 | -5
95 | -5
90 | -5

I want to access a webservice:getMonitorData() , on creationcomplete and returns an array, in an infinite loop so that the getIndex0.text is updated each time.Flex is not able to handle an infinite loop and gives a timeout error 1502. If I run the for loop until i<2000 or so it works fine.How can replace the loop so that my webservice is accessed continiously and the result is shown in getIndex0.text.This is how my application looks like:

View 1 RepliesI have a table in the database:
name Opinion
Tim Tim has an opinion
John other random text
Dan Dan's random text
Al Al says something else
I call this data and get it back in
getRecords.lastResult
To access John's opinion, I could use:
getRecords.lastResult[1].opinion
But that's only because I know that John is the second record (record 1), but this may change. So the right way is to search through the results to first find the record index for John, then access his opinion.
I need some sort of a loop? Is there an easier way to search for John directly without a loop?

As you can see i want to add an item (notfriend) in MYFRIENDS unction, "notfriend" is defined inside the loop, but by the time "MYFRIENDS" function finish loading the item already changes to the next item even though i was originally refering to the previous item. Is there a way to maybe hold the FORloop until "myfriends" function finish loading.
I wanted to use Eventlistener on "myfriends" function , but then what do i do to stophold the loop? all i know is BREAK-which destroyes the FOR-LOOP and CONTINUE-which continue the loop from the next iterate.
I dont know how to show the current progress in progressBar component when the process is a loop that requires a lot of seconds to do the job. Inside the loop, i setProgress and update the progressBar label in every cicle, but it is not shown up to the job is done. I dont need this, because i want to see the advance of process.
View 2 RepliesI have a method, which connects to a HTTP server and requests via XMLRPC, a list of data structures and then for each data structure gets a list of attributes and the values of those attributes. It's implemented using nested for each loops.
The problem is that it's loading a lot of data all at once, and consuming a massive amount of CPU (over 100%) reading responses from the server and parsing the XML.
If I were writing the program in C, I'd insert a usleep() at the end of the loop, to wait before trying to load more data and reduce CPU usage. What would the equivalent be in Flex?
I have a loop that parses and works on a lot of data and it takes a long time. While it works away, the screen is blank and im wondering if there is a way to put a loader or counter up?
Since it does a finite amount of work, I thought I could just update the progress from within the loop but further readings has revealed that it wasn't possible.
DISCLAIMER: relatively new to Flex/AS3, I might be missing something obvious. After doing some research it appears that using the for(var property:String in object) does not guarantee the enumeration order of properties, however it doesn't say anything about modifying the VALUE that property points to as changing the for...in loop.
[Code]...
As a solution I can create a temp object to store the data while doing the loop on the original object, and then replace the original object with the modified data, but I'd like to know what exactly is going on.
So my question is, does the value of object property modify the looping order of the for...in construct? And if so, should it or is this a bug?
I have some simple function in Flex in which I would like to send one of my variables to all the components used in my app... The problem is that there is lots of components in my app, and I'm not sure how to reference to my component's id... Basically, is there an easier way to do this;
private function preloadStuff():void{
// populating of bulkLoader var
var preloaderItemsList:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(preloaderItems.children());
var item:XML;

How to initialize and make condition for 2 variables in single for loop in Flex let keep i and j are two variables
View 2 RepliesI have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.
