[f8] Array Access Notation To Access A MC Within A MC?
Hi,
can one access the contents of a movieclip - that contains another mc - using Array Access notation??

I am loading a bunch of similar (ie, based on the same template) external swfs individually on level0 on the main timeline. because there are many swfs, i want to control the button/mcs in those external swfs from the main timeline. i have a different number of buttons in each swf, and each button goes to a different label. so i am trying to figure how to dettermine the name of the loaded swf, in order to get to the buttons inside that swf...

I was thinking to name each label the same name as the corresponding button object name. and each button/label name be derived from the name of the containing swf... I could put the name of the swf in a variable, and use it as a gotoAndStop() argument...,

i can provide code, but i'm lost and it's gotten messy...

Any ideas GReatly appreciated.

Strange Linked Array?
hi,

i'm currently doing some stuff for a flash game and have come across an odd problem...

heres the relevent lines of code...

var statsAry = new Array();
statsAry[1] = {utype: "tank", movespeed: 2, ap: 100, hp: 250, mcost: 50, fcost: 50, damage: 75};

_root["unit"+numunits].stats = _root.statsAry[1];

there can be multiple units with the same stats, so i thought the above would be a nice clean way of generating their details

thing is though, when you get into the game and start changing the values e.g.

_root.unit5.stats.ap = 50;

it not only changes that unit, but all other units of the same type *and* the initial root array?? why?? :/

Strange Array Issue I Think
i have the following code which loads the values from an xml,
what happens is that it appears that every call to polys[i].Points[0] = someValue makes every other element in the polys array Points[0] object = someValue

Code:
//sets the arrays to the loaded lengths
polys = new Array(parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue));

//loads the polygons
for(var i:Number = 0;i<polys.length;i++)
{
//gets the polygons points indexes
polys[i] = new Polygon();
polys[i].PointsI[0] = new Number();
polys[i].PointsI[0] = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.p1);
polys[i].PointsI[1] = new Number();
polys[i].PointsI[1] = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.p2);
polys[i].PointsI[2] = new Number();
polys[i].PointsI[2] = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.p3);

//gets the texture coords for the points
polys[i].tCoords[0] = new Vector2();
polys[i].tCoords[0].x = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.tx1);
polys[i].tCoords[0].y = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.ty1);
polys[i].tCoords[1] = new Vector2();
polys[i].tCoords[1].x = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.tx2);
polys[i].tCoords[1].y = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.ty2);
polys[i].tCoords[2] = new Vector2();
polys[i].tCoords[2].x = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.tx3);
polys[i].tCoords[2].y = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.ty3);

//sets which texture it uses
polys[i].TextureI = parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.texture);
}

for(var i:Number = 0;i<polys.length;i++)
{
trace(polys[i].PointsI[0] + " : " +parseInt(meshXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[i].attributes.p1));
}
and you get this output
the numbers on the left are the values stored in polys[i].PointsI[0] and the
values on the right are the values in the XML

Code:
5 : 0
5 : 0
5 : 1
5 : 1
5 : 2
5 : 2
5 : 0
5 : 3
5 : 0
5 : 1
5 : 4
5 : 5
how do i make a call to polys[i].Points[i] = someValue not effect every other polys[].Points[i] value?

Array Access
I've created an array and everytime you click a button it inserts a value at the end. but how can I use the last entry of the array?

I thought I could do something like this:

varTest = mainArray.length
mainArray[varTest]

and this would access the last entry? but it doesnt seem to work

Hi,

I need to access array by name. Could anyone suggest how to do it. Accessing Object by name works fine with eval:

Can't Access Array
I have a MovieClip "tableCell_mc" that is added to the stage via AS3. This MovieClip has a few variables that I have declared within it. These variables are as follows:

var tableCellHomeX:int;
var tableCellHomeY:int;
var myChildren:Array = new Array();

stop();

I use these to store unique data to each instance of tableCell_mc.

I can access the tableCellHomeX and tableCellHomeY vars no problem. It's the myChildren:Array that I'm having trouble with. It's an empty array but as I go through my for loop I try to add values to that array like so.

ActionScript Code:
function makeTable(theXMLList:XMLList) {
var theXMLListAttribs:XMLList = theXMLList[0].attributes();
for (var i:int = 0; i < theXMLListAttribs.length(); i++) {
tableHeader = new tableCell_mc();
tableHeader.width = stage.stageWidth / theXMLListAttribs.length();
tableHeader.x = 0;
tableHeader.y = 100;
tableHeader.tableCellHomeX = tableHeader.width * i;
tableHeader.tableCellHomeY = 100;
tableHeader.cellValue_text.text = theXMLListAttribs[i].name();
tableHeader.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,slideToRight);
tableHeader.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, dummyFunction);
addChild(tableHeader);
for (var j:int = 0; j < theXMLList.length(); j++) {
var myAttribs:XMLList = theXMLList[j].attributes();
tableHeader.myChildren[j] = String(myAttribs[i]);
}
}
}

I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at SpreadSheet_fla::MainTimeline/makeTable()
at SpreadSheet_fla::MainTimeline/frame2()

Help anyone?

Thanks,

Rich

i tried..

on(rollOver){
_root.x = 1;
if (this._name == "box1"){
_root.popUp1.popText = explanation[0];

Can't Access Value In Array - Please Help
I have written the following code, and the function called by mcListener.onLoadComplete is returning the current value in the array as "undefined." I want the current image that has finished loading to fade in, but "i" seems to have no meaning within the function. If i replace the [i] with a number, it works fine. I think this is a scope issue but I can't figure it out. Any help is much appreciated.

HTML Code:
var thumbArray:Array = new Array;
var mcListener:Object = new Object;
var photoHolderLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader;
photoHolderLoader.addListener(mcListener);

function creMenu(){
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
var smallIm:MovieClip = smallPic.attachMovie("thumb","thumbNail"+i,i);
thumbArray[i] = smallIm;
thumbArray[i]._x = xPos[i];
thumbArray[i]._y = 0;
thumbArray[i]._alpha = 0;
photoHolderLoader.loadClip(image[i], thumbArray[i].inner_mc);
mcListener.onLoadProgress = function(){
trace("LOADING");
};
mcListener.onLoadComplete = function(){
trace(thumbArray[i]);
};

smallIm.picVal = i;
//THUMBS ROLLOVER/RELEASE
thumbArray[i].onRollOver = function(){
this.alphaTo(50,1,"easeOutExpo");
};
thumbArray[i].onRollOut = function(){
this.alphaTo(100,1,"easeOutExpo");
};
thumbArray[i].onRelease = function(){
largePic.workPicMask.scaleTo(100,.5,"easeOutExpo");
smallPic.alphaTo(0,.5,"easeOutExpo");
p = this.picVal;
largePic.picture.loadMovie(large[p], 1);
largePic.desc_txt.text = caption[p];
picture_num();
};

};
}

Is This Strange Array Related Result A Bug ?
Try the following code in Flash CS3
Code:
var myArray:Array = [-9.1];

while(myArray[0]++ < 0){
trace (myArray[0]);
}

var i = -9.1;

while(i++ < 0){
trace (i);
}
The result is two identical set of values. Now try this
Code:
var myArray:Array = [-9.1];

while(++myArray[0] < 0){
trace (myArray[0]);
}

var i = -9.1;

while(++i < 0){
trace (i);
}
Now the results are different. The array values are converted into integer values. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this ?

Edit:
This only happens when compiling as AS3. When you compile the same code as AS2 in both cases the sets are identical

[mx04] Strange Problem With For(i In Array)
I wasted several hours yesterday while trying to change the depths of a couple of MovieClips stored in an array:
Code:
for(i in bug)
{
bug[i].swapDepths(4000+i);
trace(i + " depth " + bug[i].getDepth());
}
As I hadn't used swapDepths() before, I assumed I was doing something wrong with it. But nothing seemed to work - their original depths remained unchanged. Then, just in case, I changed to a normal for loop:
Code:
for(i=0; i<no_bugs; i++)
{
bug[i].swapDepths(4000+i);
trace(i + " depth " + bug[i].getDepth());
}
And suddenly everything works like expected... Can someone please explain this?

Strange Array Sort Problem
Hi,

I am trying to randomly fill an array with 36 numbers 1-36.

I have some code that works but when I try to wrap around an if statement with a randomise on or off boolean the sorting will not work - i.e. the array just fills sequentially whether randomise is set to true or false. It seems the array fills but the sort code is not being executed.

THIS WORKS
-------------------------------------------------------
//
//
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=36; i++) {
myArray.push(i);
}
myArray.sort(shuffle);
function shuffle(a, b):Number {
return Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
}

-------------------------------------------------------

BUT THIS DOESNT
-------------------------------------------------------
var randomise:Boolean = true;
//
if(randomise==true){
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=36; i++) {
myArray.push(i);
}
myArray.sort(shuffle);
function shuffle(a, b):Number {
return Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
}
}

------------------------------------------------------

No doubt its something easy to solve but I am really confused.

Any Help Appreciated

Array Of Objects - Strange Problem
Hello everyone,
I posted earlier for the first time, but deleted my message as it wasn't giving a clear picture of what is going on.

I am having some very strange problems concerning accessing an array of objects. First of all, let me tell you what I am doing. Please bear with me here.

I have a class called Player, which has a public property Array called points. I create an array of Player objects from within the Demo class, and that works fine.

The points array is initialized for each Player object in a the Demo class as an empty array of a given length. From within Demo, I fill parts of points with data. This data is of a class called XYPoint, so what I do is
Code:
players[x].points[y] = new XYPoint();
Later, I try to access this data using players[x].points[y]. I either get undefined or null, depending on some other factors. When I trace points, I seem to get an array of the correct length but without any values.

Now, I'd be inclined to think that I'm having troubles adding data to the array. However, when I run the debugger, I can see for each element in players a correct array length, and the correct value (XYPoint) for those elements that should have data. Not only that, but the XYPoint has the correct data too.

If the debugger confirms that there is data of the correct type in this array, why do I get null or undefined when I try to access the data?

Note: To access the data, I am using
Code:
var myPoint:XYPoint = players[x].points[y];
I hope this has made some sense, and someone at least understands why this is confusing me. Hopefully there is a simple explanation.

Many thanks in advance!

Strange Problem Referencing Array
flash mx 2004

i an array created which references an number of objects.
for some reason i can't get the length of the array or reference any of its elements.

When i test the movie and check the variables, the damn thing exists! See....an array located on _level0 with 3 objects stored in it

Variable _level0.box_ref_array_full = [object #62, class 'Array'] [
0:[object #63, class 'Box'] {
path:[movieclip:_level0.box1]
},
1:[object #64, class 'Box'] {
path:[movieclip:_level0.box2]
},
2:[object #65, class 'Box'] {
path:[movieclip:_level0.box3]
}
]

but when i run the following traces on it, all of them return a big 0;

trace ("box_ref_array_full.length=" + box_ref_array_full.length);

returns 0

trace ("_root.box_ref_array_full.length=" + _root.box_ref_array_full.length);

returns 0

trace ("_level0.box_ref_array_full.length=" + _level0.box_ref_array_full.length);

returns 0

This makes no !@$!@#$!%@$% sense!!!!!

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

Dynamic Array Access
Hi,

I'm trying to take a sentence and break it into an array of words (done) then take the words and break them into arrays of letters. I was able to do a sloppy bit of code and make a buch of variable but I'd kinda prefer to do it with arrays cuz it's a whole lot cooler.

anyway here is the mucked up code for the variable generation just so you can see what I was trying to do

on (release) {
words = v_1.split(" ");
for (i=0; i<words.length; i++) {
for (l=0; l<words[i].length; l++) {
set ("word"+i+"["+l+"]", words[i].charAt(l)
);
}
}
}

and here is the array generation code as it stands now

on (release) {
words = v_1.split(" ");
for (i=0; i<words.length; i++) {
set ("word"+i, []
);
for (l=0; l<words[i].length; l++) {
set ("word0"+[l], words[i].charAt(l));
}
}
}

I can create the arrays OK but it's the last line of code where I try to populate them that's not working - where it says "word0"... I had tried "word" + i + [l] and it disregards the [] so it I know there is something I'm doing wrong with the syntax

Thanks to all who give this some thought
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How To Access Array Elements?
hi, i'm currently trying to use arrays for the first time, and i've made a simple array myArray with 50 elements 1, 2, 3... 50. but i encounter a problem that makes me suspect that i don't understand the array concept at all: how can i access the value of an element in the middle of the array?

failed attempt #1: why is trace(myArray[x]) undefined and not simply x?
failed attempt #2: i tried to make a new array with the slicing method (referred to in flash help), like myArray.slice(x,x+1). then i reckoned i could access the element from this new array by the pop or shift method. but where on earth IS this new array, and what's the name of it??
failed attempt #3: an expression like
secondArray=myArray.slice(x);
myVariable=secondArray.shift();
didn't work either.

EXTRA QUESTION (OPTOINAL...) what i'm planning to make is an application that jumps between 50 frames, just one visit in each, in a random order. i will use the array to accomplish this, by deleting one element after each frame is visited, in order to avoid a condition for testing whether a frame has been visited (don't know if this was understandable). am i on the right track by using arrays or is there another/simpler way?

Access Array Of Objects
I need to fill an array with objects, access the information stored in the array and use it to duplicate a movie
clip. I am an avid programmer new to actionscript so any tips and pointers are welcome.

Here I am attempting to fill the array array_Calendar (initialized as: var array_Calendar:Array;) with DateCell objects.

code:
for (var dateNum = 0; dateNum < 42; dateNum++)
{
array_Calendar[dateNum] = new DateCell(dateNum);
}

This is the DateCell class:

code:
class DateCell
{
var dateCell;
var dayNumber;
var eventText;
var eventList;

function DateCell(dateNum)
{
dateCell = (typeof dateNum == "number") ? "calendarDate" + dateNum + "_mc" : "";
dayNumber = (typeof dateNum == "number") ? "_root.calendarDate" + dateNum + "_mc.dayNum.text" : "";
eventText = (typeof dateNum == "number") ? new Array("_root.calendarDate" + dateNum + "_mc.eventText0_mc.eventText_dt.text", "_root.calendarDate" + dateNum + "_mc.eventText1_mc.eventText_dt.text", "_root.calendarDate" + dateNum + "_mc.eventText2_mc.eventText_dt.text") : "";
eventList = new Array();
}
}

This is the line I'm trying to use to duplicate the movie clip:

code:
duplicateMovieClip("calendarDate_mc", array_Calendar[day].dateCell, day);

After the loop that is supposed to fill the array with DateCell objects I used the trace function to see if the array
was indeed filled with objects. Trace returns "undefined", so either I'm not using the trace function correctly
(I used it like so: trace (array_Calendar[day].dateCell);) or the array isn't getting filled correctly. I'm guessing
it's the latter of the two.

I need to fill an array with objects, access the information stored in the array and use it to duplicate a movie
clip.

XML And Array Access Issues
I'm learning to work with XML files in Flash, and making some headway. But here's an issue I've come up against hard.

I'm dynamically creating buttons on stage based on the number of certain childNodes; then placing text into these button instances. This works fine. However, I have childNode data related to these buttons. When the user clicks a particular button, text fields will be populated with data related to that button.

I've got all the XML data stored in an array, and naturally my buttons are created using an array. I'm sure there's a way to correlate the info from one array to the other, but I just can't seem to puzzle it out.

Can anyone point in the right direction?

How To Access Dynamic Mc In An Array?
Hi,
I'm creating instances of a movieclip in the library dynamically, then i want to animate them (make them drop from the top to bottom). But I can't figure out how to access them in my array.

They are in there, they come up in a trace, but using a loop through them (on enter frame) and trying to change y value doesn't work? I have my array registered at the top of the class, and get no errors..

Code:
// randomly create treasures with timer (WILL MOVE TREASURES WITH TIMER ASWELL)
public function createTreasures(){

var rand:Number = (Math.ceil(Math.random()*2000))
var timer:Timer = new Timer(rand);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timerF);
timer.start();

treasures = new Array();

function timerF(event:TimerEvent):void{

var treasure:MovieClip = new Treasure();
treasure.x = (Math.ceil(Math.random()*800));
treasure.y = 0;
//random treasure type
treasure.type = Math.ceil(Math.random()*5);
treasure.gotoAndStop(treasure.type);
treasure.speedY = Math.random() * 5 + 2;
treasure.inAir = true;
treasure.width = 20.0;
treasure.height = 40.0;
//keep treasures with min/max boudary
if (treasure.x<100){
treasure.x = treasure.x + 100;
}
else if(treasure.x>700){
treasure.x = treasure.x -100;
}
//add to stage
addChild(treasure);
//push into array
treasures.push(treasure);
}
}

//loop through treasures
public function moveTreasures(timeDiff){
for(var i:int=0;i<treasures.length;i++){

// add to treasures y value
treasures[i].y = treasures.y + 100;
}
}

Array Access In An Object
I've encountered another problem.

The following code does not mention that I have a MovieClip in the Library set up with its class as my_class. I drag it onto the stage and name it my_object. When I try to use the my_array property it does not work.

The class includes a boolean property that works fine, so I concluded that my arrays must be discombobulated. I also tested a string property and it works.

Plz help?

Attach Code

/////---------
class my_class extends MovieClip
var my_array:Array;
}
/////---------
//my_object <- is instance of my_class
my_object.my_array[0] = "rasin";
trace(my_object.my_array[0]) // returns undefined. why?

How To Access Data In An Array?

How To Access Dynamic Mc In An Array?
Hi,
I'm creating instances of a movieclip in the library dynamically, then i want to animate them (make them drop from the top to bottom). But I can't figure out how to access them in my array.

They are in there, they come up in a trace, but using a loop through them (on enter frame) and trying to change y value doesn't work? I have my array registered at the top of the class, and get no errors..

Code:
// randomly create treasures with timer (WILL MOVE TREASURES WITH TIMER ASWELL)
public function createTreasures(){

var rand:Number = (Math.ceil(Math.random()*2000))
var timer:Timer = new Timer(rand);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timerF);
timer.start();

treasures = new Array();

function timerF(event:TimerEvent):void{

var treasure:MovieClip = new Treasure();
treasure.x = (Math.ceil(Math.random()*800));
treasure.y = 0;
//random treasure type
treasure.type = Math.ceil(Math.random()*5);
treasure.gotoAndStop(treasure.type);
treasure.speedY = Math.random() * 5 + 2;
treasure.inAir = true;
treasure.width = 20.0;
treasure.height = 40.0;
//keep treasures with min/max boudary
if (treasure.x<100){
treasure.x = treasure.x + 100;
}
else if(treasure.x>700){
treasure.x = treasure.x -100;
}
//add to stage
addChild(treasure);
//push into array
treasures.push(treasure);
}
}

//loop through treasures
public function moveTreasures(timeDiff){
for(var i:int=0;i<treasures.length;i++){

// add to treasures y value
treasures[i].y = treasures.y + 100;
}
}

Access Random Array
Hi,

I have some arrays as below:

Code:

var Q1 = new Array("What Colour is the sky",1, "blue", "green", "black");

var Q2 = new Array("What Colour is the grass",2, "pink", "green", "yellow");

var Q3 = new Array("What Colour is the road",2, "blue", "green", "black","yellow");

I know how to access a certain array and element i.e. Q1[0]
But how can I access an array at random e.g Qi[0];

I have generated a random number, just need to know how to use it in accessing the array, ive tried this "Q"+num[0] where num is the random number.

Any help will be great thanx

Strange Multidimensional Array Logic Error
Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster...

I was trying to build an array containing arrays of coordinates.

After reviewing many posts on this board and other places on the web I figured out how to make this piece work like this:

ActionScript Code:
var multiArray:Array = new Array;

for (var i:uint = 0; i < 3; i++) {
multiArray[i] = new Array;
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 2; j++) {
multiArray[i][j] = Math.round(Math.random()*10);
}
trace("i = " + i);
trace("multiArray = " + multiArray);
}
/*
Output is:

i = 0
multiArray = 9,10
i = 1
multiArray = 9,10,7,8
i = 2
multiArray = 9,10,7,8,4,9
*/

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this doesn't also work. Why does it go back and change position 0 and 1 of the multiArray?

ActionScript Code:
var multiArray:Array = new Array;
var holderArray:Array = new Array;

for (var i:uint = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 2; j++) {
holderArray[j] = Math.round(Math.random()*10);
}
trace("i = " + i);
trace("holderArray = " + holderArray);
multiArray[i] = holderArray;
trace("multiArray = " + multiArray);
}

/*
Output is:

i = 0
holderArray = 9,4
multiArray = 9,4
i = 1
holderArray = 3,2
multiArray = 3,2,3,2
i = 2
holderArray = 5,3
multiArray = 5,3,5,3,5,3
*/

I am standing by waiting for the doh! headslapping moment...

Strange Array Problem + MaxValue Tutorial
Hi everyone,
I've run into a weird problem with regards to my maxValue function (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...ay_max_min.htm) and an array.

In one scenario, I am using an array that was populated with data from an XML file. I am going to pass that data to my maxValue function. Prior to passing the array to the maxValue function, I trace my array to make sure that all of the values have been loaded. When I pass that array to the following maxValue function:

ActionScript Code:
maxValue = function (array) {mx = array[0];for (z=0; z<total; z++) {if (array[z]>mx) {mx = array[z];}trace(z+" "+mx+" "+array[z]);}return mx;};

I get the following output:

Quote:

0 43 43
1 54 54
2 99 99
3 99 234
4 99 223
5 99 432
6 99 405
7 99 151

The first number is the index number, the second number is the value of the mx (maximum) number, and the third number is the current number in our array. Obviously, this isn't correct for the value for maximum does not change beyond 99. For example, 99 is not greater than 234 as shown by the output.

What is strange, though, is if I pass the same data from an array I declare with values manually filled in as opposed to being filled in from an XML file, I get the correct output:

Quote:

0 43 43
1 54 54
2 99 99
3 234 234
4 234 223
5 432 432
6 432 405
7 432 151

What I don't understand is that both arrays contain the same value, and they both are completely filled prior to the call to maxValue, yet the array filled with data from the XML file is giving me erronous results.

Does anybody have any idea as to why that is occuring? I can post an FLA + XML file if you all want.

Thanks!
Kirupa

Strange Array Behaviour- Seems To Be Dumping Values
Hey guys,

Meet my new app- a WIP flash site that builds it's nav and content from a DB:

http://www.chrisdidthis.com/warnerph...rnerphoto.html

I've set up a slideshow that runs in loop- it's not very elegant at the moment, but before I go on working to refine it's functionality, i've run into a problem-

I'm pulling values for my image names from an array of names- I have a value( i ) that increments up and determines the array index to pull the infromation from. This value resets to 0 when it reaches the end of the array and starts from zero again.

Everything works perfectly the first time that i is climbing towards it's reset value, however, when i reset it back to 0, the array stops returning values for [i]images_array- it returns undefined for my image names. If you view the link above, you'll see that the slideshow just stops after it's cycled through all the images. = |

I'm totally stuck on this one, anyone heard of this before? I've pasted in my code here, highlighting the important (i.e not working) bits in black.

Thanks in advance everyone

++counter;
if (counter == frequency) {
counter = 0;
++loader_depth;
loader_name = "loader_"+i;
trace ("changing image, array length = "+images_array.length+", i = "+i);
duplicateMovieClip (image_loader_mc, loader_name, loader_depth);
this[loader_name].image_name = images_array[i];
//
if ((i+1) == images_array.length) {
i = 0;
}
++i;
}
gotoAndPlay (2);

Also, here are my image creation lines that happen a few frames previously- just in case

images_array = new Array ();
var frequency:Number = 90;
var counter:Number = frequency - 5;
var i:Number = 0;
var loader_depth:Number = 1

Array Access Difficulties - Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong...
Hi,

I'm drawing a line chart that takes its data from a .txt file, converts that data into arrays, and is supposed to draw a line chart from duplicated movie clips....but doesn't.

OK, converting the data from the .txt file into arrays and duplicating movie clips works dandy - Flash Player can see the arrays and the duplicated movie clips show up exactly as I want them - but the chart doesn't draw out.

I want the script to take a cloned movie clip and to send it to frame X, where X is a value in an array, thus:

for (n=0; n<NavDot.length; n++) {
bnav = "NavDot" add n;
duplicateMovieClip ("NavDot", bnav, n+250);
if (Number(n) == 0) {
// Positions the clip on stage
setProperty (bnav, _x, NavDot._x);
bnav.gotoAndStop(NavPlot[n]);
} else {
//Positions the clip on stage
setProperty (bnav, _x, Number(getProperty(bnav, _x)+Number((n-1)*(getProperty(bnav, _width))));
bnav.gotoAndStop(NavPlot[n]);
}
}

...I also tried

for (j=0; j<NavPlot.length; j++) {
tellTarget ("NavDot" add j) {
gotoAndStop (NavPlot[j]);
}
}

But they don't work. The script has no syntax errors, all the movie clip instances are named correctly on stage, so I can't tell what I'm doing wrong...but it sure don't wanna go to frame (NavPlot[n]). The movie clip is simply a little square, motion tweened over 1000 frames(I've used this before so I know it works), and the value in the array should tell that movie clip where to go, but they all remain in frame 1.

Any clues?

Thanks
Lassi

Dynamic Array Access String
My apologies if this is the wrong term, Don't know what to call it thus making it difficult to search for!

I am trying to do make NewVar return "three" (myArray[3])

myArray = ("one","two","three","four");
YourArray = ("A","b","c","d");
WhichArray = "myArray";
i="3";
ArrayString = (WhichArray + "[" + i + "]");
trace(ArrayString); //output = MyArray[3]
trace(eval(ArrayString)); //output = undifined
NewVar = ArrayString
trace(NewVar) //output = MyArray[3], desired result = Three

Any help would be much appreciated as well as make my brain stop hurting.

How Can I Access The Value Of An Array Index (or Key) Number?
how can i access the value of an array index (or key) number?

I know how to get the value of the array (large_array[0], but I can't find how get the actual number, i.e., 0, 1, 2, etc. I want to access corresponding values in other arrays, as in: if btn2_mc (of the btn_array [btn0_mc, btn1_mc,...] ) is clicked, it hides redGraphic2_mc (of the redGraphic_array [redGraphic0_mc, redGraphic1_mc, ...]) and so on for other arrays. Using Flash 8...

Thanks!

Array Access Operator Output
I'm using this code so set the onrollover/out behaviour of 15 clips at once, using the array access operator:

Code:
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=14; i++) {
this["btn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
};
this["btn"+i].onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
};
}

That works fine, but the problem is getting the i value back, so I can get the number back depending on which clip receives the onRollOver.

I tried this:

Code:
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=14; i++) {
this["btn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
trace(i);
};
this["btn"+i].onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
};
}

But that always traces 15 back. How can I get the right number back? So when btn10 gets the onrollover I want it to trace 10.

Access Array In Document Class
Hi all - I've created an array in my document class as public:

public var colourArray:Array = new Array(0x0000FF,0xFF0000,0x00CC00,0xFF00FF,0xFFFF00 ,0xFF9900,0x9900FF);

then, another class is trying to access that array:

newColour.color = colourArray[randomColourNumber];

but I'm getting the folowing error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property colourArray through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.

any thoughts?

How To Access Array In External Class
I'd like to store a bunch of arrays in an external file. I'm not sure if this is the only approach, but I created an external class which I think import:

Code:
import Glossary;

(and in one of the functions refer to the array this way)
tField.htmlText = glossaryArr[0].term;
tField.htmlText += glossaryArr[0].definition;
And I'm setting up the external class like this:

Code:
package {
public class Glossary {

static public var glossaryArr:Array;

public function Glossary() {
glossaryArr:Array = new Array();
//TERM 1////////////////////////////////////
glossaryArr[0] = new Object();
glossaryArr[0].term = "Food and Drug Administration (FDA)";
glossaryArr[0].definition = "The FDA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of all drugs, biologics, vaccines, and medical devices.";

}
}
}
But I get an error from the main file:

Code:
1120: Access of undefined property glossaryArr.
Is this the right way to approach this?

Eval And Array Access Operator(?)
Trying to make things easy for myself by setting up an access variable to a movie eg:

ActionScript Code:
theTarget=myMovie.innerMovie.innerMovieofThat
etc

so that I could give a command like

ActionScript Code:
theTarget._visible=false

However this option is no longer available to me as theTarget is now going to change when the Timeline goes to a new frame on which will be another (differently named) movie. So I thought I'd define 'theTarget' on the main timeline from within each new movie based on it's name eg:

[as]_parent.theTarget=this._name+"innerMovie.innerMovi eofThat"

There is something wrong with the above script and I don't know what it is, cos although a trace command returns the right 'theTarget' path, I can't get anything to happen to it from the main timeline when doing this:

ActionScript Code:
this[theTarget].gotoAndPlay(2);

It seems the only way I can get it to work is by using the good old 'eval' method by defining theTarget as

ActionScript Code:
_parent.theTarget = String(_parent._name+".selectionmovie.selectionsquare");

and referencing it as

ActionScript Code:
eval(theTarget).gotoAndPlay("move");

This is fine cos it works, but I don't like having different (sometimes deprecated) methods for doing the same thing scattered around my scripts.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong to make the first method not seem to work properly!

Hope all this makes sense.

What You Think About This Object Array Access Class
This is kind of my first script in Actionscript and wanted to get some input.

/*

By Sean Levy Dec 14, 2006

Description:

This is a Dataset object.

You pass to it an obecjt which holds an array of data which is constructed of:

myData[0] = "prim_key value, field1 value, field2 value, field3 value ... etc
.
You can access any field of any primey key (i.e.: HH101) directly
WITHOUT doing a for loop, saving time and resources !!!
The for loop only happend doing init of the object but not every time
you read or write to the object making it super fast ...

The best way to think of this object is as of its a virtual grid
where you can access any recoed using a row and column identifier ( i.e.: part_number / field )
where the part number is always a unique prim. key

The "Magic" of the code is that we use two objects with mapped array indexes
so we can always retrieve the primary's key index and thus pull the proper
hash table equivelant member

Enjoy.

=========================================================================
Sample to copy and paste below:
=========================================================================

var myData:Array = new Array();

myData[0] = "part_number HH101,quantity 11,stock 20,description cool stuff";
myData[1] = "part_number HH102,quantity 12,stock 200,description hello world";
myData[2] = "part_number HH103,quantity 13,stock 20,description a realy good tail motor for Piccolo (Qty x 2)";

// Create Dataset Object and populate with myData

var myData:Dataset = new Dataset(myData);

var part:String = "HH102";

trace("Showing part: " + part);

trace(part + " Stock " + myData.getValue(part, "stock"));

trace("Changing inv " + part + " to 150"); myData.setValue(part, "stock", 150);

trace(part + " Stock: " + myData.getValue(part, "stock"));

trace(part + " Description " + myData.getValue(part, "description"));

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;

Trouble With Array Access Operators
Hello all:

I have been trying to pick apart this long string to see why it does not change the rollover color. I replaced the string with these array operators but things fell apart and stopped working. I did confirm with a couple of trace statements that the content inside the operators yields the correct string names.
----------------
(new Color(_level0.gridFrame.gridObjects[_level0.objectName + _level0.objectLevel]["lines_" + _level0.objectName + _level0.objectLevel])).setTransform({ra:0, rb:21, ga:0, gb:64, ba:0, bb:146});
----------------

I have been staring at this thing for more time that I care to admit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
- Garrett
