I am trying to clear out an array but it isn't working how I would like. What function clears elements from an array?Also I have had trouble removing children.It leads to strange error messages, any hints or tutorials on clearing children?
View 9 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
I'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?
what im thinking is each mc loaded is pushed into the array then on the press of a button or keyboard press the array is cleared and the movieclips that were inside the array are removed from the stage. trouble is i dont know how to write that. some guidance would be great.

I have a number of 'items' (mc's) contained in a scrolling mc that can be drag-dropped to other matching mc's. The items names are listed in an array and I wish to assign variables of suitability and feedback to each mc from the array also. I think this is called an associative array?
Having some trouble correctly referencing the items from the array. To explain, here's a working script with a simple array and an inefficient workaround:

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
Is there a way to write out an array without the that separates the elements in the array?
View 15 RepliesIf I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array
{
public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo
{
return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example)
}
}
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.
I have quite alots of display objects to manage during runtime, so Im currently using Arrays to manage them. But the problem is I have few many types of displays objects(eg. Tile, Npc and Building) which are basically MovieClips linked to the library. Each display object plays different role where it will be checked on enter frame, a loop.Method 2 sounds much more faster and extensible however Im worried if it would affect the checking rate of each display object during runtime as the displays:Array grow larger and probably making it glitchy.So which one of the following method is faster+less glitchy and explain why you choose it.[code]

View 1 RepliesI've got an application that has several slides. Each slide has a sound file that goes with it. I created a function on the root timeline that plays the audio sound. Each slide loads one after another and works great. However I have next and previous buttons for each slide. Each button makes the sound channel stop. If I press something too quickly the sound in the sound channel isn't overwritten with the new sound.
So basically I want to know how to remove all sounds from the sound channel so I can load a fresh new sound. Because the stop command only stops the soundchannel until the next sound is loaded and then it starts playing the sound again. It seems like the sound channel is an array of sounds and I don't know how to clear the array before pushing a new sound to it.
I am using this code:
Code:
clearList_btn.onRelease = function() {
extTracks.clear();
};
But the array in the shared object still exists.
I can't seem to find a way around this one.2 arrays:
//array containing mc instance name placed on stage
var mc_array = new Array(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6, mc7, mc8, mc9, mc10, mc11);
//array of values for var selMc, to be assigned to mcs

I'm making an array and i'm sticking a bunch of movieclips in there that I want to act exactly the same.
In as2 this was as simple, I would just write something like
"for(x in samplearrayname){
//do stuff}"
this doesn't seem to be the case with as3 because i'm getting all sorts of wacky errors. I'm seeing something called foreach() but it doesn't seem to work the same way. Would someone be kind enough to point me towards a good tutorial?
the error i'm getting is "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number."

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected.
