Flash :: Global Arrays?

Global Arrays In LoadVars Undefined
Heellp... I have read all the threads I could find on this topic, but now I've gotta give up.

The question is simple, but the answer isn't... or so it seems.

How can I make the arrays, defined in mycode accessible outside the loadVars object??? The arrays stays local no matter what I do. When I access data in the arrays inside the loadVars object it works okay, but ouside they are "undefined"....!

I have tried using the _global property in every thinkable way, but it does not work.... and now I am completely lost!

What I am trying to do is to build up a poll, importing data from a mysql database. The data import goes fine, and the comboboxes and dynamic text fields in Flash are filled with the data from the database, but, I need the arrays for calculating percantages and totals for when the user clicks submit,

Check out my work in progress here (it's in Danish):
http://www.andand.dk/ulydige_db/ulydige_poll.swf

Here's the code:

var var_loader = new LoadVars();
var var_saver = new LoadVars();

var_loader.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
var headline_array:Array = this.headline.split("~");
var sp1_array:Array = this.sp1.split("~");
var sp2_array:Array = this.sp2.split("~");
var sp3_array:Array = this.sp3.split("~");
var sp4_array:Array = this.sp4.split("~");
var sp5_array:Array = this.sp5.split("~");
var sp6_array:Array = this.sp6.split("~");
var sp7_array:Array = this.sp7.split("~");

var sv1_array:Array = this.sv1.split("~");
var sv2_array:Array = this.sv2.split("~");
var sv3_array:Array = this.sv3.split("~");
var sv4_array:Array = this.sv4.split("~");
var sv5_array:Array = this.sv5.split("~");
var sv6_array:Array = this.sv6.split("~");
var sv7_array:Array = this.sv7.split("~");

spørgsmål.sp1.text = headline_array[0];
spørgsmål.sv1_1.label = sp1_array[0];
spørgsmål.sv1_2.label = sp1_array[1];

spørgsmål.sp2.text = headline_array[1];
spørgsmål.sv2.dataProvider = sp2_array;

spørgsmål.sp3.text = headline_array[2];
spørgsmål.sv3.dataProvider = sp3_array;

spørgsmål.sp4.text = headline_array[3];
spørgsmål.sv4.dataProvider = sp4_array;

spørgsmål.sp5.text = headline_array[4];
spørgsmål.sv5.dataProvider = sp5_array;

spørgsmål.sp6.text = headline_array[5];
spørgsmål.sv6.dataProvider = sp6_array;

spørgsmål.sp7.text = headline_array[6];
spørgsmål.sv7.dataProvider = sp7_array;
spørgsmål._visible = true;}
else {
_parent.tekst.text = "data could not be read...";}}
var_loader.load("ulydige_poll.php");}

[CS3] Global Function = Global Variables As Well?
CS3/AS2
if i have a global function with some variables defined within it, are the variables global too? if not how would i make them global too?

_global.function someFunction() {
var cake = 10;
var book = 15;
}

someFunction is global so therefore "cake" and "book" are too?

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?

Are Global Variables Really Global?
Hi everyone!

This might sound like a dumb question, but i've just been struggling with variables (more specifically global variables) for the last 3 hours, and now that i made it work, i'm wondering if my solution is the "normal" one.

From what i gather, when you declare a _global variable, you can just use it from any timeline without using a path, right? I have a variable (whichHoliday) which i initiate in the first frame of the main timeline, this way:
_global.whichHoliday="";

I want to give a new value to this variable inside a MC on that timeline. The only way i could do it was by using:
_global.whichHoliday="whatevervalue";

Shouldn't i have been able to use only: whichHoliday="whatevervalue" ?

Why did i need to use _global again to set the value?

Thanks for any input!

[F8] My Global Variables Are Not Global
Hi
I have a problem, my global variables aren't global, as soon as a new timeline is entered the global variable is undefined. (I read somewhere in a forum that it is only possible to use a couple of global variables for F8, could that be correct?)

I use:

if (_global.thing == true){
thing._visible = true;
}

This works for the timeline where true was set and one more timeline, but as soon a third timeline is entered the global value is set to undefined!

What could be the problem?

I am soo grateful for any suggestions!

Thanks!

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;
}

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

Global?
Hi!

Just read an article on actionscript coding standards and came across this: what is _global exactly, and also, when to use _global, _root or this. Really confused about which should be used and when =P

Another question is about playing midi files. Is there a way to sort of use quicktime plug-in to play a midi file in sync with a flash movie, and to control the plug-in from within the movie, i.e., change the music file when a scene changes?

Thanks ^_^

Russ.

Global MC?
Is there such a thing? Because I'm loading an external .swf into a movie clip and the flash progresses onto the next scene, I was hoping that I could keep the frame at the same position as before the scene change.

Is this confusing or do I have to pass the _currentframe properties to a variable and tell it on frame 1 of the next scene to go to that frame again, causing a break in the flow of that mc?

Any idea's?

Global Var
Can a var be set as global for use by all functions in a single fla file?

I would like to set a var in any one of 3 functions (dependant upon user choice) and then be able to read it's value in a fourth and fifth function.

something like this:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public var choice1

function onechoice() {
//do something
//set choice1 value
choice1 = "one"
allchoice()
}

function twochoice() {
//do something
//set choice1 value
choice1 = "two"
allchoice()
}

function threechoice() {
//do something
//set choice1 value
choice1 = "three"
allchoice()
}

function allchoice() {
if (choice1 !=undefined){
checkchoice()
}

function checkchoice() {
//do something
//set choice1 value
switch (choice1) {
case "one" :
//do this
case "two" :
//do this
case "three" :
//do this

}
//end checkchoice
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this possible?

i would like to apply this CSS to ANY textfield in ALL levels of the project ...
but if i apply the CSS in some loaded (external) .swf like this:

----------------------------------------
textWindow.styleSheet = flashCSS;
textWindow.htmlText = "<span class='hdl'>Example Example Example</span>";

and at the end of the current scene ive said:

gotoAndPlay(_root.selectedscene);

this works fine when the button is on the main timeline but when i put it witin an mc on the main timeline it doesnt work. do i have to use targets for gloabl variables? how?

actually i have five MCs wtihin an MC on the main timline.
there is a button within each of the five MCs. an action on the buttons changes the variable. so ive created the variable first in the main timeline and refered to it from within the buttons' actionscripts. so i created

_root.selectedscene = "empty"

on the first frame of the movie just to create it.

why isnt it working??????????

Local And Global
hi...

can someone explain me the diff. between a normal variable & a variable created by var

i mean:
a = "name"
var a = "name"

i understand that its a local variable but wats the scope... the guide says its lasts in curly brackets only...

but can we use them across the frames...? on one timeline... or what...?

slightly confusing... i only use var for variables in loop like For (var i=0; i<=10; i++)

thanks

Global Variables
hi there,

how can i properly define global variables, meaning variables which can be seen from any scene in my movie?

if i start defining it (like normal) with "var myVar = 42" i can access it only from within this scene. if i just use it without defining it, i can access it from any other scene too, but it doesn't look very clean to me, so is there a better solution for this problem?

bye, stevie.

THe variable does not seem to parse here.

I place trace after an onrelase event and the variable comes up as empty and not 450.

Which Vars Are Global?
I have a movie in _root which has the ability to load a form that is contained in its own movie into _level1.

When this form sends the data to the server, it's sending a **LOT of information along with it. Some of this is good, some is a waste of bandwidth.

How do I know which variables will be submitted? I understand that global variables will go, does this mean all variables defined in _root, or will variables defined in _level1 go too?

Is there a common practice on where to store your variables so that they are not arbitrarily sent to the server? If so, how can I selectively send my vars to the server?

I thought that maybe I could load a different movie into _level1, and put variables there. Then load my form into _level2. Will this help?

Thanks,
Matt

Global Varibles
Does anyone know if there is any way to set a global variable from within a function?

Here's a link to the page that I'm having a problem with: http://www.kawaguchi.ca/georev/main.html
Basically, what I need is a way to retain which primary section is rolled over. If anyone has any idea, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance.

Variable In MC As A Global
Hi again,
here is another problem:
in my MC's (embeded a button) I am working with various variables which need to interact with one another, say if one variable is 2 another MC cannot be used anymore..:
on (release) {
door = door+1;
if (door == 1) {
setProperty ("/door-movie", _x, 327);
counter == counter+1;
trace(counter);
}
if (door == 2) {
door = 0;
counter = counter-1;
setProperty ("/door-movie", _x, -100);
}
if (counter>2) {
setProperty ("/door-movie", _x, -100);
door = 0;
counter = 2;
}
}
but my counter-variable is not traced.... what can I do???
(did you understand what I mean????)

Global Variables
I'm trying to do an Audio ONOFF button for my scene. This is what I did:
-Created a movie instance containing the wav file.
-Assigned the above instance to an object with "new Sound" command in first timeline frame:

suono = new Sound(audio); *audio IS THE WAV INSTANCE*
aa=true; *this global variable is intended to be used for the switch behaviour*

-Created a second key frame on time line and placed "Stop()" command.
-Created a switch button.
-Assignet the following script to the button instance:

on (release) {
aa=!aa;
if (aa==false) {
suono.stop();
}
else {suono.start()};

}

When first I press the button, the music stops, but after that I cant let it start again. The global variable "aa" works at the beginning, but seems that it cant keep the "false" value after the mouse leaves the button. This is what I think. Maybe the debugger would give great help in this matter, but I cant see the "aa" variable on it.
Any idea?

Global Variables
Hi,
I have two issues.I would greatly appreciate if someone can help. First thing, How do I create global variables like. I have created some variables by loading a xml file while loading the movie. I want to reuse them in the movie clip mousedown events. Now I am again loading it unnecessarily.
Secondly how do I reuse the functions I created in one movie in another. Now I am needlessly typing the same function in all the MCs.

Please help

Thanks

Global Variables
Hi

How can i set a global variable at the beginning of a flash movie, so that the values are available to all other frames and MCs within it?

I tried using set variable commands in the first frame, but found that subsequent frames did not retain those values.

Your help appreciated.

BoB.

Global Variable HELP
I am trying to use the "if , else" function to get a page to play an audio only once -- just the first time a user opens the page, which is inside loaded inside another movie (a navigation system).

I've looked at trying to set a global variable after the audio is played for the first time which would communicate that it has been played to the script the next time this page opens.

I just can't figure it out.

I hope I have explained clearly enough.

Thanks!!!
-Rob
