Array In A String
Hi every one, I have a big problem.

When I use a text file to store things and a "loadVariablesNum" to load it, it works.
Usely I transform it in a Array with a simple .split();
But here, the txt file is too long, and, when I use .split(), it takes a lot of time.

I'm trying to store a string that looks like a array : TestTot = "{tNom:Test, tScore:123}, {tNom:Test02, tScore:221}";
So I don't have to split anything.
But I can not manage to load it as an Array, or to transform it as a array.

Is there a way to do that ?

Thank you in advance.

Re. Array In A String
Hi. I have problems with .
I have :
--- TesTot = "123, 45, 78, 90, 12";
But I want it to become an Array, without using .split() for technical reasons.
So I try :
--- TestB = new Array(TesTot);
or
--- TestB = Object(TesTot);
but both fail.
--- trace(TestB[0]);
// return undefined

Anyone can help me on it ?
Please...

(I hope i do not upset this forum in posting two threads on a similar subject).

Thank you in advance.

String To An Array Name? Or... What?
so, I have some dynamic text in a MC that has the name of an Array written in it (by hand)

lets say thats a dynamic text box who's 'var:' is "fff" and has "arrayname" written in it

in another MC (in the actionscript) I have:

Code:
arrayname = Array();
arrayname.push(new GlowFilter(0x00FFFF, 1, 10, 10, 3, 1, false, false));
(on load)

and

Code:
bla = _parent.othermovieclip.fff
this.filters = bla
...it doesn't work...

when I trace "_parent.othermovieclip.fff" from there I get "arrayname"

my guess is that it's a string, and that "this.filters = " isn't taking it because of that

so, I tried:

Code:
this.filters = _parent.othermovieclip.fff
and that didn't work either.

to test it I tried:

Code:
bla = arrayname
and it WORKED, but not in the way that's usefull

I traced "bla" and it gave me "[object Object]"

so, now I'm confused as hell

any tips?

String To Array?
Hey! I am making a tile game map editor, and i want to save a map. I would like my editor to be able to load a "copy and paste" code, but i dont know how. Here is an example of the code generated by my editor. Each number is a tile type.


Quote:




level_array = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1], [3,1,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,1], [6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6] ];






In the load window, there is a text box input where you can paste this code. My problem is that I don't know how to transform the pasted text in an array.

Any hint?

String -> Array
My problem is a bit to complex to exlpain in full, but hopefully there's a simple soultion so I need not post it all.

Basically I have an array in a string, say for example:


ActionScript Code:
myArray = "[1,2,3,4,5]"

Trouble is, it's no good in a string, I can't read from it.

So I need a way of effectively removing the ""s so it's just a normal array.

String / Array
how can i list the _width values (in an array) of the following text fields in a separate text field called texter?

ActionScript Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i <= 5; i++)
{
    var mNav:MovieClip = tClip.duplicateMovieClip("tClip" + i, tClip._parent.getNextHighestDepth() + i);
       tClip0.Text.text = "COMERCIAL SETS"; tClip1.Text.text = "CUSTOM FURNITURE"; tClip2.Text.text = "RETAIL DISPLAY"; tClip3.Text.text = "EVENTS"; tClip4.Text.text = "ART"; tClip5.Text.text = "VIEW ALL";

texter.text = mNav.( the array here) ._width;
}

so my results look something like: 22, 127, 23.6 ...

[FMX] String To Array
Hello,

(Using Flash MX)

I'm wondering if theres a way I can turn a variable of strings (separated by commas) into an array?

I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.

For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:

I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like this

myArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];

Is there any way to do that?

String To Array
Hello...

I have a problem... let me explain...
I have an array... for example ["aa", "bb", "cc", "dd"]
Now i want to make as many arryas as there are string in my array... in this example 4. But of course i can not say how many there will be the next time. And the names of those 4 arryas should be the string from my first array. So the result would be 4 arrays: aa, bb, cc, dd

I would be like doing this :

var aa:Array = new Array();

4 times but each time for a different string which i would get from my main array.

If anyone can help i would appreciate it... and if i didn't explain good enough let me know...

thanks

Splitting String Into An Array
Hi,

this should be incredibly easy: splitting a string into an array, where each character becomes an array element.

According to Flash help files it should work like this:


Code:
myString = "hello";
myArray = myString.split("");


ie. using an empty string as delimiter in the split function.

In practice however, this simply creates an array with a single element containing the complete string - ie. the same as when doing 'myString.split()'. Am I specifying the empty string incorrectly???

(I know how to do this 'by hand' - but want to know why the split method isn't working).

Any thoughts welcome,

thx - n.

Find String Value In Array?
Hey, everyone. A quick question regarding arrays and strings. (Flash 5)

I have an array that holds three values: my_array("one","two","thr") which correspond to movie clips on my stage with the same instance names. Then I have buttons that sets a variable "selected" equal to _root.one, _root.two or _root.thr. Now I have a function that takes "selected" and manipulates it. This all works fine so far.

My problem occurs because after "selected" performs its actions, I want to remove the corresponding value from the array. So first I have converted the movieclip object "selected" into a string using remove1 = String(selected), then I slice out the _root. using remove2 = remove1.slice(7,-1) so now remove2 is equal to a string "one" "two" or "thr".

How do I remove this string value from the array? Is there a way to search the array values for this string and return its index? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

String From Server To Array
Hey guys... I have a perl script that is sending back a bunch of data to my flash movie... I want to store each piece of data into an array in flash.. right know all I know about is sending the data back as individual variables... is there a way to put that individual variables into an array?

Possible solutions that I have come up with are reading in 1 var as a whole string and then splitting up the string according to a delimiter, or dynamically naming new vars in the perl script and use the same name generation in the flash file and just transfer each variable over to a slot in an array... both of these methods seem to be a bit sloppy... anyone have any other ideas?

thanks so very much for your help!

Evaluating String/array Help
I know I am doing this wrong...please help. In the following, the variable, _root.currentSection equals "mc_home" on the root. The value changes throughout the navigation.

I need to get the value from the following:
_root.mc_homebox_Xpositions[i]

The dynamic version would be something like this:
"_root."+_root.currentSection+"box_Xpositions" +"["+[i]+"]"

But what I get is the string and not the value:
_root.mc_homebox_Xpositions[1]

I tried this but it comes up undefined:
this["_root."+_root.currentSection+"box_Xpositions" +"["+[i]+"]"]

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Getting A Specific String From An Array
Hi all:

I'm jumping into Flash from the Director side and am trying to create a program that will get a random line of text and concatenate it with another random line of text.

In Lingo I would first get a random value and then get then correspond that value with the line of a text cast member. Easily done. In Actionscript, i'm a bit more lost. I suspect it would be pulled from an array but I'm not sure how it would be set up.

Anybody who can give me a good shove in the right direction?

Thanks.

Array Coming In As A String - Eek
Hello,

I'm loading in an array from an external txt file (I'm bringing it in via LoadVars())

&spectrumLeft=[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]...]

but it appears to be coming in as a string! eg: (the output window displays this)
spectrumLeft:"[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]...]"

how do I convert this to an array when it's read in!!?? Or should I be loading this in a different way?

Array Comparison To String?
Hi

Im just working on an application and can any one tell me why this doesnt work and any possible ways round it?

trace(aArray[0].toString());
trace(["tField" + unique]);
if (aArray[0].toString() == ["tField" + unique]){
trace("ok");
}


right ok is never reported as a trace yet the first trace and the second report the exact same thing. so why is it that flash does not see them as the same if they are the same in trace?

trace(aArray[0].toString()); //traces tFieldOne
trace(["tField" + unique]); // trace tFieldOne

A little help?

my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
messages=this.messages;

now my php script sends back a string to flash that looks like this

'{{from:"joe",subject:"Hello",date:"10/12/94"},{from:"josh",subject:"grr",date:"10/88/94"}}'

but that is evaluated as a string and i want it to turn into a multi depth array i tried eval but that doesn't work any suggestions?

here is php


PHP Code:



<?php

include("common.php");

$link = dbConnect();

$uname = $_COOKIE['hpuname'];

if($uname == "") {
    print ("&messages=wronguname");
    exit;
}

$query = "SELECT pass FROM users WHERE uname ='$uname'";
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$pass = mysql_result($result,0);

$query = "SELECT inbox FROM messages WHERE uname ='$uname'";
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$messages = mysql_result($result,0);

print ("&messages=$messages");
exit;

messageVars.load("getinbox.php");
messageVars.onLoad = function(success) {
    if(success) {
        if(this.messages == 'wronguname') {

Array/String Question
I have a string that I want in an array:

myString = "this,that,other";
myArray = new Array(myString);

Of course, this puts myString into the first element, but I want it to separate the words in between the commas and put each into its own element. As if I had done this:

myArray = new Array("this","that","other");

Any ideas on how to do this?

Getting Xml Array.length Using A String
Hi all,

I'm trying to pull the length of an array using a string with a variable. If I replace the variable with the value of it, I get my number. However, if I just use the variable, I just get the string. Perhaps I need to convert the string somehow?

this.loadXML("XML_loads/options1.xml", "list1");
function loadXML(path:String, objName) {
this[objName] = new XML();
this[objName].ignoreWhite = true;
this[objName].onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
// When the data arrives, pass it to the menu.
if (success) {
//trace("list1 = "+list1);
olength = objName+".firstChild.childNodes.length";
trace("olength = "+olength);
} else {
trace("xml failed to load");
}
};
//insert path to the xml file for the menu
this[objName].load(path);
}

String To Array Reference?
hi,

is there a way to get a reference to an array by string? in AS2 you could do this:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
var myString:String = 'myArray';

myArray[0] = 'blah';

trace( this[myString][0] ); // trace blah

maybe something like you can get child with getChildByName or class getDefinitionByName?

cheers
