[Flashcoders] Dynamic variables in as3
Does anybody know of a way to create and reference dynamic variables in
as3. Specifically movie clips, but if there's a difference between them
and any other type of variables, that'd be good to know.
In as2 this would be
for(var i:Number =0; i acRate; i++){
this.createEmptyMovieClip('p'+i,this.getNextHighestDepth())
this['p'+i]._x = i*10
this['p'+i]._y = i*10
}
However in as3 it would need to be something like
for(var i:Number =0;i acRate; i++){
var ['p'+i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
this['p'+i].x = i*10
this['p'+i].y = i*10
}
Which doesn't work of course. Does anybody have a work around for this,
or is it no longer possible to create undeclared variables at run time.
Thanks all
Phil

[Flashcoders] Particle class

Or if you aren't deleting everything, put i-- next to each pop().

Hi Judah,
This is a good candidate for a 'while' loop:
while(errors.length 0) {
errors.pop();
}

I just want to bring to your attention a rare array problem that eluded
me for years. I just realized what is going on.
Whenever I tried to clear an array I would use a for loop, iterate
through all the items and pop each one off. Every once in a while the
arrays would still contain values and not be completely erased. Can
you
spot the error? Here is the code:
*
wrong way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i errors.length; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 1
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
*
right way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
var len = errors.length;
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i len; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 0
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
Look at the condition (i errors.length).
If we pop an item off the end of the array then the length of the
array
is decreased and we do not iterate through all items in the array.
Hope
this helps someone.
Best Regards,
Judah

RE: [Flashcoders] Particle class
It's AS2 flash 7 minimum, but the particleFilters parameter only works with 8 (allows you to apply filter arrays to all particles individually). I've been looking at an actionscript 3 conversion but I'm not up to speed on AS3 yet so that may be a while yet. I'd be great to see the performance benefits though. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Johnston Sent: Monday, 21 November 2005 11:04 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Particle class nah just messing with ya, it's real nice, is it 8.5 only? hows the speed in 7? and the real deal breaker 7 on mac?

I am a little confused on whether or not Flash can import data in a CDATA through XML. I am just getting started with XML in Flash, so not sure if it's something I am doing or not, but I can get all my data in my XML except what is in a CDATA. When loading the schema in the Component Editor for an XMLConnector, the elements with CDATA data have type empty. The other elements have their proper types. I've Googled my butt off today and found some people say that CDATA is supported, some say it is not supported, some say it is only supported on the way in and not the way out. What I'm trying to do is load data into an XMLConnector, then bind to a user interface component such as a DataGrid, eventually with a DataSet component in between. Can CData be used through an XMLConnector? Do I have to do things manually via a new XML(), etc., or will even that not work?
