Flash :: Arrays Syntax

Arrays And Syntax
I am new to action script, but came accross this in box with no explanation..

FillArray = new Array();
// this will create a new array called fill array.... fine i understand that
FillArray.push({x:x,y:y})

i know the push method push items into a array like

eg Myarray = new Array()
Myarray.push("Cat","dog","snail")
and then Myarray[0] = Cat...... I think...

But FillArray[0] is what?
what are these {} i though each item is separated by a comma so FillArray[0] = the x:x... however it doesnt and x was set earlier in the program as the start point of a fill but i have never seen this syntax till now.... so confused....

Larry thanks i know i am slow like the snail.

Web Service Syntax ? And Arrays...
I'm calling a web service that returns an array. I have a function that just displays the result returned. I'm getting [object, object] when I trace the result. How do I pull a variable returned from the array like city? I've tried;

details.onResult=function(result){
trace(result.city); // equals undefined
trace(result); // equals [object, object]
}
please help;
what am i missing

Syntax When Dealing With Arrays?
Code:
this.ButtonContent.text = _root.menu1menu[0];
This works great, however I would really like to introduce something along the lines of this.

Code:
this.ButtonContent.text = "_root.menu"+var+"menu"+[0];
However, it's been forever since I've worked with arrays and I haven't a clue how to do this properly.

I thought eval might be an option, but that's very old school flash isn't it?

Thanks in advance

I Thought It Would Work But...(arrays & Dot Syntax)
Hey,

Well I've been trying to think of a way to create to scroll my images horizontally upon rolling over a button. Most of the solutions here talk about horizontal scrolling in relations to the mouse position.

So I thought I would create two MC and a button. The first MC is my menu with images(instance "menu"). The second is a blank mc with a loop(instance "initialize"). And the button starts my loop.

MC 1:

on clipEvent (data) {
Xpos=move;
Xmove=Xpos/10;
_root.menu._x=Xmove;
}

MC 2:
Frame 1 = stop;
Frame 2 =

for (go=0; go<10; go++) {
array[0]=(go+1)*10;
move=array[0];
_root.menu.loadVariables(move);
}

Button:

on (rollOver) {
_root.initialize.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

What I thought would happen was I would rollover my button; start the loop counting; have the loop assign a value to var move; and have the x position of my menu change as the new var move came into its AS.

Am I completely over my head?

Thanks.

Exact Syntax/arrays And Accessing Them

i assigned a txt box the cardname var, it didnt show
why doesnt this work!?!?!
btw, i tried every variation, [] instead of () and "whitemage" instead of white mage, just to be sure

GetURL Syntax Problem With Arrays
i'm using the getURL(); function to open a link in another browser window but i'm trying to get the URL to be taken from an array,

i've tried things like...

Code:
getURL("linksArray[w][2]", "_blank");

and...

Code:
getURL(linksArray[w][2], "_blank");

but i can't get it to work. what is the syntax for something like this???

cheers

p.s. the url stored in the array is a fully qualified url e.g http://www.somesite.com

Fuse-Syntax With Targets & Arrays
hello, i don't understand the syntax with arrays and fuse

in the documentation ist something mentioned, that i can use arrays with "fuse.addTarget" and "fuse.target"

Code:

var buttons_arr:Array = new Array ("b1_btn", "b2_btn", "b3_btn", "b4_btn");
var fuse:Fuse = new Fuse();
fuse.addTarget = buttons.arr; // don't work, which is the correct syntax here ?

thank for you help...

Advanced Actionscripters? Help, Please:dot Syntax, Referencing Arrays
Hello, once again. Thanks to whomever might be able to solve this...

Problem:
I have a movie in which I set two modes:

mode="one"
mode="two"

When in "one" mode, i have a clip which is duplicated into a containerclip (for reasons of maintaining control over depth).

"duplicateone" is the instance name of the clip being duplicated into "containone"

i reference it:

_root["contain" add mode]["duplicate" add mode]

when in "two" mode, i am doing the same thing, only with different clip being duplicated.

i reference it the same way, as mode is a global variable.

no problems thusfar...switching between the two of them is not an issue.

But now i need to be able to reference both of them, preferably with a single line. It's sort of like I've got the individual variable references to each instance working, but now I need to also have a 'global' variable that references both of them. If I can do this, it will mean management of the movie will be much easier, as will adding new modes...

So, I thought about setting an array of the modes...
and here's where it all fell apart....

I tried:

globalMode=newArray("one","two");

then i tried to reference it something like:

_root["contain" add globalMode]["duplicate" add globalMode]

and a couple of variations on it.
the movie explorer message tells me that an operand must follow my use of 'and'...

so, anyone know the syntax to address two clip instances using variables and/or arrays?

or, better still, any ideas on how i can get myself out of this predicament?

much appreciation to anyone who can offer insight...

thanks

Arrays: Searching An Array In Flash... Syntax?
Trying to do something like PHP where you can take a value and search an array for that value. How can I do this without a loop?

Arrays In A Text File To Arrays In Flash
What i am wanting to do is get an array list from an external file and put it into flash arrays, the code i tryed to use was this:

PHP Code:

            for (i=1; i<33; i++) {

                if(id=="undefined" || id=="NaN"){

                } else {

                id[i] = id(i)

                               }

                         }

But that dosent work obviously.

I know ive got the
PHP Code:

id[i]

bit right, but i dont know how to do the bit from the text file.

in the file it goes like this:

PHP Code:

id1=432&id2=324 ect

So basically what i am trying to ask is how to in a look do variables using the i (id plus the i at the end). Anyone got any ideas?

Sorting Arrays...2-Dimensional Arrays
How would I go about sorting two dimensional arrays using the sort() function. What I'd like to do is organize the arrays inside of an array by a certain variable...

i.e:

array1 = new Array("Name", "State1", "Cost");
array2 = new Array("OtherName", "AnotherState", "OtherCost");
array3 = new Array("DifferentName", "YetAnother", "AndAnother");
allarrays = new Array(array1, array2, array3);

Now, let's say I want to sort the arrays in allarrays by their state variable. In other words, I want to sort them so allarrays would look something like this (if sorted by state):

allarrays:
array2,
array1,
array3

Any suggestions or past experiences with this sort of sorting? Would I use the Sort() fuction? or would I have to make my own sort function? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Arrays: Cleaning Up Empty Arrays
Hi,
So, I have an array generator, and its not worth explaining the details, but long story short, I end up with an array in which some of the slots are "undefined". How can I go through and remove just those slots? Eg this this my Array

myArray[1] = "red"
myArray[2] = "blue"
myArray[3] = undefined
myArray[4] = "pink"
myArray[5] = "undefined

and what I want to end up with is:

myArray[1] = "red"
myArray[2] = "blue"
myArray[3] = "pink"

thx!

Arrays/Arrays/Arrays/and Functioning.
Can someone please , tell me how to shorten that Rescale function to just do all the movies in one shot ? and also to add an array for the delay which is the ( o.2, 0.4,0.6 ) so i need to shorten all this to do something like this

Code:
rescale = function(){
this.scaleTo(100,2,"easeOutElastic",this.speed);
this.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",this.speed);
}
//... the next line is inserted within the duplicate movie loop
eval("item"+a).speed = 0.2*a

Instead of all this..

Code:
// Callback Function for lacos to tell when to rescale/alpha back to 100 percent
reScale = function(){
//How can I shorten this by just making an array and doing this in One shot ? is the only problem
item0.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",0.2);
item0.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",0.2);
item1.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",0.4);
item1.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",0.4);
item2.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",0.6);
item2.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",0.6);
item3.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",0.8);
item3.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",0.8);
item4.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",1);
item4.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",1);
item5.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",1.2);
item5.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",1.2);
item6.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",1.4);
item6.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",1.4);
item7.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",1.6);
item7.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",1.6);
item8.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",1.8);
item8.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",1.8);
item9.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",2);
item9.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",2);
item10.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",2.2);
item10.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",2.2);
item11.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",2.4);
item11.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",2.4);
item12.scaleTo(100,2,"easeoutElastic",2.6);
item12.alphaTo(100,2,"linear",2.6);

};

//Duplicate method puts all movieclips on stage at 0 alpha so the user doesnt see the placement
for (a=0; a<titles.length; a++) {
duplicateMovieClip("item", "item"+a, a+1);
//eval("item"+a).alphaTo(0,0,null);
eval("item"+a).item_txt.text = titles[a];
eval("item"+a).tween("_x", [posX[a]], 4, "easeoutElastic");
eval("item"+a).tween("_y", [posY[a]], 4, "easeoutElastic", 0.1);
//Callback function is set here
eval("item"+a).scaleTo(0,0.2,"easeoutElastic",0.1,reScale);
item._visible = false;
}

Actins:wrong Syntax=correct, Right Syntax=wrong
Has any body made a similar observation:
when I want to load a pic into mc and write

_root.loadMovie("pic.jpg","mc");

I get a little window just the size of my pic but not my stage. But when I write:

_root.mc.loadMovie("pic.jpg");

everything is fine. I have a Mac, OS9.1. Is this related to the flashplayer in mac or what?

Arrays Referencing Other Arrays?
Picture this... I declare two arrays:

array1= new Array();
array2 = new Array();

Then I went through some data and added values to "array1". For this example, let's say it has 20 values. (length = 20)

I want array2 to be a "backup" of this data, so I did this:

array2 = array1;

I would expect array2 to simply be a copy of the contents of array1. But, whenever I .pop() a value off of array1, array2 ALSO loses that same value! How is this possible? Is array2 only a "reference" to array1??

Only Arrays Or Arrays And Objects
Hi

I've been told not to do this with an array...

PHP Code:

var travelbooks:Array = new Array();
travelbooks.push({titel: "Madrid", release: 2004, pages: 248});
travelbooks.push({titel: "Barcelona", release: 2003, pages: 224});
travelbooks.push({titel: "Tenerife", release: 2002, pages: 124});
travelbooks.push({titel: "Malaga", release: 2005, pages: 172});

for (var i=0; i < travelbooks.length; i++) {
     trace(travelbooks[i].release + " - " + travelbooks[i].titel);
}

... but to do this...

PHP Code:

var travelbooks:Array = new Array();

var book_1:Object = {titel: "Madrid", release: 2004, pages: 248};
var book_2:Object = {titel: "Barcelona", release: 2003, pages: 224};
var book_3:Object = {titel: "Tenerife", release: 2002, pages: 124};
var book_4:Object = {titel: "Malaga", release: 2005, pages: 172};

travelbooks.push(book_1, book_2, book_3, book_4);
trace(book_1.titel);
trace(travelbooks);
trace(book_releases);

function book_releases():void {
    for (var i:Number = 0; i < travelbooks.length; i++) {
        trace(travelbooks[i].release + " - " + travelbooks[i].titel);
    }
}

Could you tell me why i'm not supposed to use the first example? And why example 2 doesn't work?

Thank you
Ferran

Creating Arrays From Arrays?
I'm not sure this is possible but...

I'm trying to create a series of arrays from one main array.

My main array [main_elements] contains four items - interactive, motion, print and illustration. This main_elements array is dynamically created from an xml file.

I'm wanting to create a set of arrays based on the content within this initial 'main_elements' array.

So i would end up with an interactive array, motion array , print array and an illustration array.

currently i'm at this stage with it...although i've tried every other combination i can think of to get it working.

ActionScript Code:
for(q=0; q<work_elements; q++){

main_elements[q] = xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[q].nodeName
//this is the actual categories of work - the areas - interactive,motion,print,illustration

var Vname = work_elements_ARRAY[q]
//i need to create an array based on the names in the work elements area
//ie i need an interactive array - motion array etc
Vname = new Array

trace("Vname-- "+interactive.length)
//this trace should pick up the newly created interactive array but it doesn't exsits...???
}//end of second for

I would then fill these arrays with the work items.

As you can guess its a menu system of the simplest kind i'm trying to build.

Is there a better way to be doing this or is it a case of correct syntax / approach??

# Of Arrays - Length Of Arrays
Is a length of 540 to long for an array?
If so what a good limit to cap it at?

What # arrays of max limit are to many for a flash movie?
10?
100?
1000?

I'm just curious as i need to track the _x and _y of a dragable MC for as long as possible - 3 to 4 minutes if i can squeeze that. It needs to have smooth motion when it's played back, so the cord's need to be stored about 3 times a second. I was just wondering if anybody has an idea of how much data is too much?

All comments are welcome. Thx

Arrays In Arrays Trouble
does AS3 have capability to do multidimensional arrays? My computer won't let me download it because I have edu version. 2D arrays would make this a lot easier. Here's the class:

Code:

class com.samainsworth.math.matrix {

var arr:Array;
var r:Number;
var c:Number;

public function matrix(r:Number, c:Number) {
   this.arr = new Array(c);
   for(var i in this.arr) {
      this.arr[i] = new Array(r);
   }

   this.r = r;
   this.c = c;
}

public function getPos(r:Number, c:Number) {
   return this.arr[c][r];
}

public function fillPos(val, r:Number, c:Number):Boolean {
   if(r <= this.r && c <= this.c) {
      this.arr[c][r] = val;
      return true;
   }
   else {
      return false;
   }
}
}

here's the code in the movie:

Code:

import com.samainsworth.math.matrix;

var m:matrix = new matrix(2, 2);

trace(m.fillPos(1, 0, 0));
m.arr[0][0] = 1;

trace(m.getPos(0, 0));

and last but not least here's error:

Code:

true
undefined

I'm trying to work on 3D which requires a lot of matrices work even though flash doesn't support 3D you can fake it with a lot of math - http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actions ... onCube.swf

Syntax? Why Cant I Do This Way?
Please take a look at the code below. Could someone please explain to me why I cant call a instance by its name until it has played (or that seems to be the case). Basically I cant use the statement: "_root.Intro.gotoAndPlay(1);" in the "else" statement it only allow me to identify it as "_root.gotoAndPlay(2);". Why wont the actionscript allow me to call it as an instance name? It works fine in the "if" portion of the statement...I assume because it has already begun playing. Please clarify this for me.

on (release) {
if (_root.Intro._framesloaded > 0) {
stopAllSounds ();
_root.Stop();
_root.Intro.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

Thanks for your help

Dot Syntax
hi | i'm building a shell for a movie and i'm having one problem. on the main timeline i have a movie with a button. on release, that button sets a variable on the main timeline and it also jumps back to the main timeline and has the playhead go to frame 3, i.e.

on(release) {
myVariable=1;
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

-- this part is working fine --

on frame 3 of the main timeline is another movie which has a condition:

if(_root.myVariable=1 {
placeholder.loadMovie("one.swf");
}

the problem is that the placeholder movie clip (which has the instance name of placeholder) isn't loading the external movie -- which is targeted correctly. i also ran a trace statement in this second movie just to make sure that _root.myVariable=1; -- and it did. does anyone have any ideas why my placeholder isn't responding to the command?

thanks, - matt.

would this be it???

What Does The Syntax 'in' Mean?
I have a sample .fla I got from FK that I am learning how to build an mp3 from. one of the functions is this.
code:
function select(){

if(playlist_mc.target_mc[i].songNum != songNum){
playlist_mc.target_mc[i].gotoAndStop(1);
}
else{
playlist_mc.target_mc[i].gotoAndStop(2);
}

}

}

What does the 'in' mean in the line
for(i in playlist_mc.target_mc){

There is no listing for this in Flash's reference.

Is this syntax correct? I'm not sure how to interpolate the i variable in this for loop:

pic1_mc._alpha = 0;
pic2_mc._alpha = 0;
pic3_mc._alpha = 0;

Hi

what is the syntax to specify something like this

idClients = new array("Party22","Fox22","Elite");
//load the names from the array (as dynamic text)
for(i=0;i<11;i++)
{
idText+i.text = idClients[i]; //this bit here
}

how do u write idText+i.text so it works as if idText+i is one variable ??? It should be something with [] but I can't remember. Also is there a way to maybe load these names from single external file insted of array and how would I specify as many variables as needed in one file so when u pull it in each text field pulls right variable contents. i know how to have a txt file with single variable but not multiple variables.

Cheers

What's The Syntax?
Hi all, I have a movie with an empty MC called "container" in which I need to attach "pages" from the library. on each page I'll have 2 buttons, next and previous. Also on the first frame of each page I have this:

_root.currentpage = 1; (or 2, 3, 4 etc)

The pages are linked as page1, page2, page3 etc.

What I want to do is have the "next" button attach the next page by it's number and then go to a frame label on that page. I don't know the proper syntax but here's what I've got:

on (release) {

container.attachMovie("page" + (_root.currentpage + 1) ,"page" +(_root.currentpage + 1),1);

container.page+(_root.currentpage).gotoAndStop("pa ge");

Syntax For 'using'
I recently saw in the middle of a thread a cunning way of putting 'using' then I think, a path, and then a whole load of variables so you didn't have to rewrite the path the whole time.

Would be really useful if someone could let me know what the syntax was.

Thanks.

Syntax
I'm sure this is easy but i don't know why this isn't working. The path is correct but it keep giving me this error. It is written on an MC.

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
_root.cater.cattext._visible = false;

BUG REPORT
Scene=catering, Layer=cater, Frame=1: Line 2: '{' expected
_root.cater.cattext._visible = false;

Syntax
hi

what is the syntax to get dot+i to work ?
dot is the name of a movie clip ??? undefined at the moment?

for(i=1;i<96;i++)
{
cordX[i] = getProperty((dot+i), _x);

cheers
