Flash :: Turn Array Values Into Strings

[MX] Weirdness With Values Used By Array Populated Clip Values.
Hi,

I have used invisible buttons on top of some text, as part of a volume control interface.

The text buttons are set out as 0 – 25 – 50- 75 -100 referring to the % that a music tracks volume will change to once a button is pressed – so far so good.

Now to give values to the text buttons in order for them to make the text clip that they are on top of go to & stop & the right frame I have used arrays to give a reference the location of the text clip:

numbs_array = [_root.volHold_mc.vol0, _root.volHold_mc.vol25, _root.volHold_mc.vol50, _root.volHold_mc.vol75, _root.volHold_mc.vol100];

I then reference that in a home made “release” function as “this.monica.gotoAndStop(2);” “monica” being the reference to the address of the clip.

It all works fine except the code seems to make the movie play clips in an order that they have not been designated in the array – Like a button on top of the “25”% value will play the animation for the “75”% clip?

The whole problem is probably much better seen through the movie – the problem section of which i have attached below.

Database Values To Array Values
Hi all,

I've created a movie which uses a number of arrays to construct the elements of a flash-based gallery.

What I need is a practical method of getting values from a database into an array via an ASP page.

The plan was to load the variables into these arrays using the an asp page and a loadvars object to create a string (basically the array values in quotes separated by commas) which was then to be inserted into the parameters for the creation of the array. Needless to say this hasn't worked- the create array object seems to interpret the whole string as the first value in the array, i can't find a way of populating the array from just a single asp page.

I've given up with this method and really need a few pointers.

Thanks

Array Strings To MC Ids?
So I've got a 2D array that contains the identifiers of movie clips on my stage:
trace(theArray[0]["id"])//Outputs firstMC
trace(theArray[1]["id"])//Outputs secondMC etc...

How (using a for loop) can I access these values as MCs instead of strings?
Example
for (i=0; i<theArray.length; i++){
theArray[i]["id"]._alpha = 50;
}

??

Thanks,

Jared

Array Of Utf Strings?
Hi,

I have an array of strings, that is used to fill meny item's names. Here's example:

var sm4_array:Array = ["Brza Vožnja", "Submenu 2", "Submenu 3", "Submenu 4", "Submenu 5", "Submenu 2", "Submenu 3", "Submenu 4", "Submenu 2", "Submenu 3", "Submenu 4"];

As you can see array[0] is on croatian language (has "ž"). But when I put thins in preview this submeny text is like - ''Brza vonja''. Has no "ž" character!

Can anybody help me with this?

If I Type Array[1]=array[2] Their Values Are Permanently Linked. How Do I Change This
e.g.

Code:
array[2][0] = 4;
array[1] = array[2];
array[1][0] = array[1][0] + 3;

trace("array[1]= " + array[1]);
trace("array[2]= " + array[2]);

Result:
array[1]=7;
array[2]=7;

The result I want is:
array[1]=4;
array[2]=7;

How do I achieve this?

Splitting Strings Into An Array
Hi All,

I'm familiar that in flash, an array can be populated using such as a following:

var myArr = Array("cat","dog","bird");

Is there a way to populate an array if I get passed a string like this... (note the quotes placement):

"cat, dog, bird"

Some of you maybe familiar with VB's 'split' command which automatically turns that comma-delimited string into an array.

I need your help guys if there is a built-in function in flash that can do or mimic this or did I just missed an item in the help file?

Thanks in advance. Butch

[F8] Deleting Undefined Strings From An Array
i have it set to where it can lists the undefineds as null... but how do i remove them from the array completely so they dont show up at all?

PHP Code:

temp = [];
arr = [];

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.load("text.txt");

lv.onLoad = function(){
str = unescape(this);
str = str.split("

").join("");
temp = str.split(";");
temp.pop();
len = temp.length;
k = [];
for(var i=0;i<len;i++){
var u = temp[i].split("KaiOrbitalServer=");
if (u[1] !== undefined or null) {
    k[1] = u[1];
} else {
    k[1] = null;
}
arr[i] = k[1];
}
trace(arr);
}

Data in text.txt

Code:

I want to filter out the data from the array... hopefully my question is clearer this time and I'm thankful for anybody that helps.. thanks..

Array + Number In Strings In Function
Hi again!

This time I want to use ONE function with different inputs, but. Take a look at the two code examples below. testA does NOT work though testZ and testX does work.

Here is what I got from tracing the values from inside testA. All pretty obvious exept the bottom one.

Code:
trace(aCirclePic);//Circle00,Circle01
trace(nCirclePic);//0
trace(aCirclePic[nCirclePic]);//Circle00
trace(sArrayPic);//aCirclePic
trace(sNumberPic);//nCirclePic
trace(sArrayPic[sNumberPic]);//undefined
What variables am I suppose to use to get it to work with just one function. Obviously this is a very simplified example…

Code:
var aCirclePic:Array = new Array("Circle00", "Circle01");
var nCirclePic:Number = 0;
var aBoxPic:Array = new Array("Box00", "Box01");
var nBoxPic:Number = 0;

testA("aCirclePic", "nCirclePic");
//testA("aBoxPic", "nBoxPic");

function testA(sArrayPic:String, sNumberPic:String):Void {
this.attachMovie(sArrayPic[sNumberPic], sArrayPic[sNumberPic], this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:10, _y:10});
}

//testZ();
//testX();

function testX():Void {
this.attachMovie(aCirclePic[nCirclePic], aCirclePic[nCirclePic], this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:10, _y:10});
}

function testZ():Void {
this.attachMovie(aBoxPic[nBoxPic], aBoxPic[nBoxPic], this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:10, _y:10});
}

Array Access Notation With Strings?
I may be confused, but I thought you could use array access notation with strings. Can someone tell me why this code doesn't work (or suggest new code):

the code is meant to rewrite the block of text in tText at a rate of one character per frame... (when the function is called once per frame) but it doesn't work.

Attach Code

function swapText():Void {
var sWorkingText:String = tText.text;
var sNewText:String = oPhotoText[sPageFocus];
var nIndex:Number = oPhotoText.nIndex;

if(oPhotoText.nIndex < sNewText.length) {
trace("sNewText[nIndex] = " + sNewText[nIndex]);
sWorkingText[nIndex] = sNewText[nIndex];
} else if(sWorkingText.length > sNewText.length) {
sWorkingText = sWorkingText.slice(0, -1); //takes 1 character off the end.
} else {
oPhotoText.bSwapText = false;
}
oPhotoText.nIndex++;

tText.text = sWorkingText;
}

Setting Array Values To Variables In Another Array
I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated.

A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.

So...

Code:

PHP Code:

//variables on the main or root timelinevar1 = 1; var2 = 2; //... //within options mc timelinearray1 = [var1, var2]; array2 = [var1Display, var2Display]; apply.onRelease = function() { //set values in array2 to variables in array1 and update the main timeline's variables//... }

How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?

And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

hope this all makes sense to everyone

Hi all,
If i have the following:

Turn A Func To An Array?
******compeletly forgot : AS2.0 Flash8

Hi ... I’m just starting out on really learning java scripting and flash interaction... got this little test function to work great... but I’m not sure how to turn it in to an array... I've tried and tried and have gotten no were... so i was think may-be some one could show me what a few of the ways to do it so i can see a good working model for me to go off of....

here is the actionscript (don't poke fun i'm still learning...)

Code:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):Void {
PG_1.APP_Email.text = "" + str;
}
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendTextToFlash", this, getTextFromJavaScript);
function clickSend(eventObj:Object):Void {
var jsArgument:String = PG_1.APP_Email.text;
var result:Object = ExternalInterface.call("getTextFromFlash", jsArgument);
PG_1.APP_Email.text = "" + result;
}
PG_1.send_button.addEventListener("click", clickSend);
mind you I’ve work hard to get this far... just have not been able to move ahead

so the array example that I think I could get a good idea off of would be 4 items... unless some one think more makes a difference... I will be having a app to make in the near time that will have about 200 TextInput, CheckBox, ComboBox, and DataGrides so ideas would be great... they all will be much like this...

PG_1.APP_Email.text <TextInput
PG_1.APP_Yes.Boolean <CheckBox?
PG_1.APP_States.selectedItem <ComboBox?
PG_1.APP_Email.selectedItem <DataGrides?( a row of data ie: Item id, Item Name, Item Date ect)

I'm not sure about the muilt selects... and i'm not even sure about what i got lol... any examples or tips, heads up would be great...

Incase it matters.. here is the javascript... (which also need to be an array i'd asume)

Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function getFlashMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
}
function formSend() {
var text = document.htmlForm.m7feu_input_email_address.value;
getFlashMovie("v2.d").sendTextToFlash(text);

}

function getTextFromFlash(str) {
document.htmlForm.m7feu_input_email_address.value = "" + str;
return str + "";
}
</script>
I'm a designer not a coder ... I just wish my bosses would stop trying to save money by haveing a crapy coder code crap... lol... Please any help would be great thanks....

[F8] Problem Matching Variables In Array With Strings
I'm getting back into flash after 3yrs hibernation, so I'm sorry if this is a newbie question!

I'm writing a game to help kids learn vocab about occupations with the barebones script I've setup below.

I'm trying to put clothes on the nurse (not what you think!), but for some reason the 'random clothes item' (question) and the 'selected item' even if they are the same 'string' don't match in my 'if statement'. What's wrong please!

This script is on the timeline.

I'm supposed to be demo'ing this to a client on the weekend, so I really appreciate your input! The gfx part is all easy

code:
stop();

var rndClothes = new Array();
rndClothes[0] = "hat";
rndClothes[1] = "shirt";
rndClothes[2] = "shoes";
var partI:Number = 0;

/// FUNCTIONS ////
//////////////////

// add a method to randomly shuffle an array
NewRound = function() {

var thisArrayLength = rndClothes.length;
trace("size of array is " + thisArrayLength);
// copy over our array
var inputArray = new Array();
for (var i=0;i<thisArrayLength;i++) {
inputArray.push(rndClothes[i]);
}
// randomly splice everything back into our array
for (var i=0;i<thisArrayLength;i++) {
rndClothes[i] = inputArray.splice(random(inputArray.length),1);
}

trace("random clothes is " + rndClothes);
trace("where is my " + rndClothes[partI]);

}

EvalItem = function(selectedItem) {
trace("selected item is " + selectedItem);
trace("random item is " + rndClothes[partI]);

if (selectedItem == rndClothes[partI]) {
trace("this is my " + rndClothes[partI]);
} else {
trace("Oh no, these aren't " + rndClothes[partI]);
}
}

NewRound();

Are Strings Arrays? 4 Digit Date To 4 Element Array?
Getting my feet wet in actionscript and see that it sure resembles javascript, which, if I remember correctly lets you access each individual characters in a string as an element in an array. Can this be done in actionscript?

what I'm trying to do is turn the .getFullYear (2001) into some sort of form where I can access each individual number, be the 2 the zeros or the 1.

[MX04] Merging Strings Into A Variable To Pull Out An Array Value
Ok, so here's the deal.....

I have two dropdown lists who's values when merged them represent an array name.
For example... I make a selection from a dropdown list 1 who's value is "SomeArray", and from the dropdown list 2 i select an item with value "No1"

So now i want to merge those two and add a number from which place in array to take a number to display it in a text field...
Something like a variable called SomeArrayNo1[0] so afterthat I can put it into a text filed....

I know my English sucks, but please help me....
The code below puts a word "SomeArrayNo1[0]" into teh text field instead of pulling the number from array.

Code:
SomeArrayNo1 = new Array("10", "20", "30", "40");
var Droplist1 = new String ("SomeArray")
var Droplist2 = new String ("No1")
var ArrayPosition = new String ("[0]")
TraceNumberFromArray = Droplist1+Droplist2+ArrayPosition
trace(TraceNumberFromArray);
_root.textfield.text = [TraceNumberFromArray]

Turn A Array Of Variable Names Into Actual Variables
Hi all,

I have an array filled with the names of variables I created dynamically. I am trying to get these array items to act as the name of the variables while running through a loop but I get the error. "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property text not found on String and there is no default value".

Flash sees the array items as strings rather than a list of variable names. I tried this a couple of ways but no matter how I hold these variable names they are in string form. So I guess what I really need is a way to convert a string to a variable name.

Here is the code I am using right now.

ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<myMCArray.length; i++){
outXML += "<display_obj>";
outXML += "<value>"+myMCArray[i].text+"</value>";
outXML += "<pointX>"+myMCArray[i].x+"</pointX>";
outXML += "<pointY>"+myMCArray[i]y+"</pointY>";
outXML += "</display_obj>";
}

Thanks for the help my transition to AS3 has been a bumpy one.

</artworkinfo>
the xml will tell where the cover art is the movie title and plot.
i want to populate my movie with this info what is the best approach to create empty movieclips using actionscript or create individuals MC , i try the second one and create 4 movieclips (cause the xml have 4 elements just post 2) and make an array of mc but i can find how to match the xml array to the mc array , this is the code for better explaining,

Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {

if (loaded) {

xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
movie = [];
plot = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {

image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
movie[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
plot[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;

}
placeholder=new Array(loader1,loader2,loader3,loader4);
placeholder_total = placeholder.length;
for (e=0; e<placeholder_total; e++){
placeholder[e].contentPath=this.image[i];
}

} else {

content = "file not loaded!";

}

}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;

the _root[bricka(i)]=frameNum; is wrong somehow.
it set bricka[1]=2,bricka[2]=3,bricka[3]=4 and so on, instead of
the random numbers that comes out from arrayPos.

Array Values Into A For()
I'm trying to use the following values in a for so I don't have to type them out all the time.

But it ain't working [obvioulsy]!

Also I'd like to put it into a function so that I only have to type out the array values then call the function rather than repeating the for code all the time.

Any clues?

squares = Array("s2","s11","s19","s27","s30");
opacity = Array("15","22","40","17","12");

for (x = 0; x < squares.length; x++) {
_root.Grid[squares[x]].gotoAndStop(1);
setProperty(_root.Grid[squares[x]], _alpha, opacity[x]);

Hi,

I have two arrays which attach random movie clips to the stage. One array contains pictures and the other contains words. So for example the word array contains the words "apple" "dog" "cat" and the picture array contains pictures of an apple, dog and a cat. Ive got the movie clips to display randomly when you click a button, so a picture and a word displays at the same time.

Is it possible to assign a number to each item in the array, so for example the dogword = 1 and the dogpicture = 1
appleword = 2 and the applepicture = 2
catword = 3 and the catpicture = 3

so if the dogword and dogpicture are on the stage at the same time it is possible press a button to say that they match and then to add a point to the score?
Could anyone tell me if this is possible?

this is the code i am using to display my movie clips randomly

on (press) {
_root.blankpicture.attachMovie(_root.pic[random(3)], pic1, 0);
_root.blankword.attachMovie(_root.word[random(3)], word1, 0);
}

and then my arrays are:
pic = new Array ("applepic", "dogpic", "catpic");
word = new Array ("appleword", "dogword", catword");

I am using flash mx
thanks

Array Values
I am Using Flash MX 2004........

Ok i have an array with 4 elements wich are coordinates that i will be using for another function in my application.... they are as such

test[0]=12;
test[1]= 205;
test[2]=167;
test[3]=355;

now i have a function that will take the the array element values and do what they do with them.... for right now that function looks like this

function makeButton(x1,y1,x2,y2) {

trace(x1 + ", " + y1 + ", " + x2 + ", " + y2);
}

Now i know i can access the aray element values independently but i dont want to do that, what i want to do is concatenate the array and use its resulting string as the parameter values for the function when i call it....the Problem is it is not working and im not sure if can be done when ...I tried using test.join() and i also tried using test.toString() both of these output
12,205,167,355 which is exactly what i need to pass to my Function but even after setting a variable equal to these the output of the function is....

12,205,167,355, undefined, undefined, undefined.............. which means that the entire array.join() value is only being passed as the x1 value......Is there away around this? Help if you can...Thanks

[F8] _x And _y Values From MC's In Array
Hi

I have created an Array with 5 duplicated movieclips. I am now trying to use the _x and _y values of these movie clips, but this value comes out as UNDEFINED. What am I doing wrong?!

Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 5 ; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip(dot_mc, "dot_mc_" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth());

_root.dot_mc._x = Math.floor(Math.random() * Stage.width);
_root.dot_mc._y = Math.floor(Math.random() * Stage.height);

aDotArray.push("dot_mc_" + i);
trace(aDotArray[i]._x);
}

Using Values From Array
ActionScript Code:
function setButtonDefaults(){
buttonPropertiesArr=["buttonOne``150", "buttonTwo``110", "buttonThree``128];

for(i=0; i<buttonPropertiesArr.length; i++){
var tempArr:Array = buttonPropertiesArr[i].split("``");

_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins.outer._x=0;
_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins.outer_orange._x=0;
_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins.inner._x=0;

trace("arr length: "+buttonPropertiesArr.length+", arr: "+_root.tempArr[0]+", "+_root.tempArr[1]+", orange x: "+_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins.outer_orange._x+", button: "+_root.tempArr[0]+", orange x buttonOne: "+_root.buttonOne.button_tpl_ins.outer_orange._x);

}
}
Ok, inside the function, for example:

tempArr[0] - traces as something valid

_root.buttonOne.button_tpl_ins.outer_orange._x - traces as something valid
_root.buttonOne.button_tpl_ins - traces as something valid

yet as soon as I replace a static value with an array value it becomes undefined:

_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins.outer_orange._x - traces as undefined
_root.tempArr[0].button_tpl_ins - traces as undefined

I don't understand, and I don't know what to search for to find the answer...

Array Values
Hi everyone! I'm trying to assign values to my array. Here is what I have so far.

Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Placement", 2);
var shapes:Array = new Array("square", "circle", "triangle");
function selectshape():String {
//get the index for the letter
var index:Number = random(shapes.length);
//assign the letter to a var
var s:String = shapes[index];
//display letter
return s;
}
trace(selectshape());
//calls the function that will place the shapes on the stage
pulltogether(shapes);
function pulltogether(test:Array) {
for (var i = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
Placement.attachMovie(shapes[i], shapes[i], i+10, {_x:random(200), _y:random(200)});
}
}
What I want to do is say if "circle" is selected than I want to assign a value of "yellow circle".

Code:

if ("circle" ){
storedvalue="yellow circle"
]
else if ("square"){
storedvalue="blue square"
}
else if ("triangle") {
storedvalue="green triangle"
}
Hope this makes sense???

Array Values
I'm trying to load a random .swf into a holder .swf, basically a random ad on the screen. I'm attempting to do this by calling a random item from an array. I'm wondering if my new array is referencing the external .swfs (which are in the same directory) or if that is just some empty data that I created myself in flash. I'm pretty confussed on how all of this works and how to actually reference external assets like movies and images, in an array.

ActionScript Code:
productClip = new Array("catClip.swf", "QCClip.swf", "OPOSClip.swf");
productClip[0] = "catClip.swf";
productClip[1] = "QCClip.swf";
productClip[2] = "OPOSClip.swf";

function loadOne() {
loadMovie(productClip[random(2)+1], "_root.loadMC");
}

I'm not even sure if this is how I should go about doing this or if there's an easier way.

Values Disappearing From Array
Hi,

i'm filling an array from a xml-file somehow like this:

Code:
[i]
_root.bild[i][j][2] = menuItem[i].attributes.name+"/"+subItem[j].attributes.url;
trace("Fotograf "+i+", Bild "+j+" = "+_root.bild[j][2]);

The trace-command at this stage shows the value alright, but some values seem to disappear from the array if I try to use it later.
The code is rather long, I posted the files here:
http://files.ueberland.net/array.zip
The relevant lines are from 134 to 224 - I'm traceing the actual problem there.
You can see in the output-window after the "where are they gone" that some values seem to have vanished.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Isn't it a bit... odd to use []-brackets to format the forum-posts since it's the way you handle arrays in actionscript?

Array Values Into Variables
OK, so i have an array defined by a query to the database.

myEntry[][]

What i'm looking to do is define variables from the array using part of the array as the variable name.

ie:

myEntry[0][0] = myEntry[0][1]

The value stored in [0][0] should be the variable name and the [1] value needs to be set as the value of that variable.

Obviosly the above example would simply just redefine the array myEntry[0][0] - but how would I do what I'm trying to do?

Any clues?

many thanks!

Remove Values In A 3D Array?
Hey,

I'm not sure if 3D array is the right word... but whatever

Ok, I've got this array for my ISO-RPG-Game wich stores the tile-data:

Code:
map = [
[[6], [2], [2], [2], [2] ],
[[2,1,5],[2], [2], [3], [2] ],
[[2], [2], [2], [2], [2,1,4]],
[[2], [2], [5], [2], [2] ],
[[2], [3], [2], [2], [2], ]];
If a cell only consists of: [number], there's nothing special. It will just add a tile...

But if a cell says [number,number,number] there's something special going on. I shall explain the most left one: [2,1,5]

The first number (2) is just the tile, 2 stands for grass so it'll add a grass tile.
The 1 means an item should be placed on that tile.
The 5 means it's item number 5 that should be placed there.

Now when the hero picks up the item I want: [2,1,5], to be replaced with [2]...
I'm now using:

Code:
map[1][0][1] = null;
map[1][0][2] = null;
But when I then trace that part of the array it says: 2,null,null so the data is not realy removed...

So the question... how can I remove it?

How To You Reset Array Values
Hi everyone, im creating a game and i need to know how to reset Array values. I have a timer set so that my enemys are called every 5 seconds (just for testing purposes) but the problem is that their speeds keep on increasing each time the enemy code is called....

////////////////////
myInterval = setInterval(initCounter, 5000);

function initCounter(){
initEnemy2();

}
/////////////////////////////

function initEnemy2() {

Enemy2Array = new Array();

// start enemy1 at number 0
Enemy2Num = 0;

// create three large enemy2, 100%, at random locations
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
enemy2 = newEnemy2(100);
enemy2MC._x = 400*Math.random();
enemy2MC._y = - 10;
}
}

function newEnemy2(size) {

// create a new enemy2
enemy2MC = attachMovie("enemy2", "enemy2"+Enemy2Num, 300+Enemy2Num++);

// random speed and direction
//enemy2MC.dx = 5*(Math.random()-.5);
enemy2MC.dy = 5*Math.random() + 1;
enemy2MC.dy = Math.round(enemy2MC.dy);

// move every 25 ms
setInterval(moveEnemy2,25,enemy2MC);

// store in array
Enemy2Array.push(enemy2MC);

return (enemy2MC);
}

function moveEnemy2(enemy2MC) {
// move enemy1
//enemy2MC._x += enemy2MC.dx;
enemy2MC._y+=enemy2MC.dy;

//trace(enemy2MC.dy)

for (var i = Enemy2Array.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
if (Enemy2Array[i]._y>=600) {

Enemy2Array[i].removeMovieClip();
Enemy2Array.splice(i, 1);
}
}
}

Spliting Array Values
Hi

my problem is that i create an array consisting of external valuse. One of the array dimensions is made of xml element attributes which works dandy for all the later processing. But i am also trying to display each of the attributes on a list box for the user to see what is available.

this does work but atm says for example

wheels,steeringWheel,Brakes,Engine

instead of

Wheels
SteeringWheel
BRakes
Engine

this is the code

for (i = 0; i < myXML.childNodes.length; i++)
{
this[myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName] = new Object();
this[myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].name = myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName;
this[myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].isa = myXML.childNodes[i].attributes.isa;
this[myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].has = myXML.childNodes[i].attributes.has.split(",");
parseArray.push(this[myXML.childNodes[i].nodeName]);
hasDisplay.addItem(myXML.childNodes[i].attributes.has.split(","));
} // end of for

where hasDisplay is the list box I dont really want to change the structure of the array because that is used later on and works fine just wondered if anyone knows how i could split the attribute values when it reaches a comma?

thanks.

[F8] Unique Array Values From XML
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make a combo box display attributes from some XML, but unique values from my XPath array.

Here's my XML

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<animations>
    <animation link="1lat" key="none" label="Healthy">Whole Body (Healthy)</animation>
    <animation link="2lat" key="mAct" label="Healthy">Leg Muscle Activation (Healthy)</animation>

    <animation link="vidPost" key="none" label="Rheum">Whole Body (Rheumatoid Arthritis)</animation>
</animations>

and here's the AS Code that I thought would strip out the repeats:

PHP Code:

while (a < titleArray.length)
        {
            duplicateArray [a] = titleArray [a].attributes.label;
            a ++;
        }
        for (i = 0; i < duplicateArray.length; i ++)
        {
            element = duplicateArray [i];
            for (n = 0; n < duplicateArray.length; n ++)
            {
                if (element == duplicateArray [n] && n != i)
                {
                    duplicateArray.splice (n, 1);
                }
            }
        }
        for (d = 0; d < duplicateArray.length; d ++)
        {
            content_mc.page3_mc.main_mc.condition_cb.addItem (duplicateArray [d]);
        }

Is there a spelling mistake somewhere or something? I can't see one, and the code works partly, but in my comboBox I get Healthy, Healthy, Rheum. So something somewhere has gone wrong!

For Loop With Array Values
Ok, the issue is with the enabling of the buttons on my stage. I run a loop to deactivate them all when one is clicked, then I want to turn them back on, EXCEPT the one which was clicked. I thought I could start off with an array of MC names and simply delete them from the array. But I can't get my head around exactly how to read in the array contents as MC names...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Displaying Values Of An Array
Hi all,

Hope you can help me, I think this is a simple one but I cant figure it out.
What I need to do is display the last element, the second last element and the third last element of an array in dynamic text boxes that have variables numbercalled1, numbercalled2 and numbercalled3. The Array is always changing so this is what I have come up with am I doing something simple wrong??? usednumbers is the array that I want to pull the values from.

mary = usednumbers.length
mary2 = usednumbers.length-1
mary3 = usednumbers.length-2
numbercalled1 = usednumbers.toString([mary]);
numbercalled2 = usednumbers.toString([mary2]);
numbercalled3 = usednumbers.toString([mary3]);

Will this display the elements as I have discribed or am I going about this all wrong. I cant use the pop method as I dont want to change that array but just display the elemants in the text boxes.

Also is there any way that I can do this with usednumbers.slice()

Thanks for your help.
