The following code is intended to load movie clips from an array onto the stage and arrange them into a grid formation.
I get the following error:
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert animal1$ to flash.display.MovieClip.
(code used from answer provided by Andrew Sellenrick)
var columns = 4;
var rowHeight = 50;
var columnWidth = 1000;
var currentRow = 0;
var currentColumn = 0;
var animalCards = [animal1, animal2, animal3, animal4, animal5, animal6, animal7, animal8, animal9];
for (var i = 0; i < animalCards.length; i++) {
var card = animalCards[i];
card.x = currentColumn * columnWidth;
card.y = currentRow * rowHeight;
addChild(animalCards[i]);
currentColumn++;
if (currentColumn == columns) {
currentRow++;
currentColumn = 0;
}
}
This is just off the cuff, you will have to take it and make it work for your needs.
var columns = 4;
var rowHeight = 50;
var columnWidth = 50;
var currentRow = 0;
var currentColumn = 0;
var listOfMovieClips = [clip,clip,clip,...];
for (var i = 0 ; i < listOfMovieClips.length ; i++){
var mc = listOfMovieClips[i];
mc.x = currentColumn * columnWidth;
mc.y = currentRow * rowHeight;
addChild(listOfMovieClips[i]);
currentColumn++;
if (currentColumn == columns){
currentRow++;
currentColumn = 0;
}
}

I making a card game and i call some cards from the library randomly.
But i cant use this cards.
Is there any way to make this childs clickable?
And another question please.
If there any chance to use one print array for all the 22 cards i need to show on stage?Or i must to create a new printarray and a new random number for each card?
Note:each card has different points.
var cards:Array = [k1, p1, s1, r1, r3,k4,p4,s4,r4,k5,p5,s5,r5
,k6,p6,s6,r6,k7,p7,s7,r7,k8,p8,s8,r8,k9,p9,s9,r9,k10,p10,s10,r10,
kj,pj,sj,rj,kq,pq,sq,rq,kk,pk,sk,rk];
var printArray:Array = [];
for (var n:int = 1; n <= 1; n++)
{
var randNo:int = int(Math.random() * 51);
printArray.push(randNo);
}
for (var c:int = 0; c < printArray.length; c++)
{
trace(printArray[c]);
var mc:MovieClip = new cards[printArray[c] ];
addChild(mc);
mc.width = 60;
mc.height = 80;
mc.x = 100;
mc.y = 50;
}
var print1Array:Array = [];
for (var n1:int = 1; n1 <= 1; n1++)
{
var rand1No:int = int(Math.random() * 51);
print1Array.push(rand1No);
}
for (var c1:int = 0; c1 < print1Array.length; c1++)
{
trace(print1Array[c1]);
var mc1:MovieClip = new cards[print1Array[c1] ];
addChild(mc1);
mc1.width = 60;
mc1.height = 80;
mc1.x = 70;
mc1.y = 80;
}
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,looping);
function looping(event:Event):void
{
//here ia want use the cards.Let say i want to if(mc1 is clicked)
}
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickCard);
Put that where you have your other mc1's. Then elsewhere, outside any other functions put this:
private function clickCard(e:MouseEvent):void{
//trace(e.target);
}
How to Save positions for 3 objects in Array to make random position between each other by AS3?
import flash.geom.Point;
var arry:Point = new Point();
arry[0] = arry[78,200];
arry[1] = arry[217,200];
arry[2] = arry[356,200];
//object called b1
b1.x = arry[0][0];
b1.y = arry[0][1];
//object called b2
b2.x = arry[1][0];
b2.y = arry[1][1];
//object called b3
b3.x = arry[2][0];
b3.y = arry[2][1];
//make objects swap positions between each other
var rand:Number = (Math.random()*arry.length);
//output to see random position [[78,200],[217,200],[356,200]]
trace(arry);
to get random with tween like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m_m64plQ6E
At compile time you should get this Error I suppose : "ReferenceError: Error #1069"
Here is a way to store the positions (like in the link you provided from youtube) :
import flash.geom.Point;
var squareWidth:uint = 40;
var squareHeight:uint = 40;
var marginX:uint = 100;
var marginY:uint = 75;
var spacer:uint = 10;
var positions:Vector.<Point > = new Vector.<Point > (9);
function setPositions(v:Vector.<Point>):void {
var count:uint = 0;
var posx:uint;
var posy:uint;
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i ++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < 3; j ++)
{
posx = (j * squareWidth) + (spacer * j) + marginX;
posy = (i * squareHeight) + (spacer * i) + marginY;
v[count] = new Point(posx,posy);
count++;
}
}
}
setPositions(positions);
trace(positions);
// output :
// (x=100, y=75),(x=150, y=75),(x=200, y=75),(x=100, y=125),(x=150, y=125),(x=200, y=125),(x=100, y=175),(x=150, y=175),(x=200, y=175)
So here you have nine Points to place the clips like in the video.
You just have to add a function to swap the nine boxes stored in another Vector.
In your case.
For 3 positions do the following if I understand your question.
import flash.geom.Point;
var positions:Vector.<Point> = new Vector.<Point>(3);
var p1:Point = new Point(78,200);
var p2:Point = new Point(217,200);
var p3:Point = new Point(356,200);
positions[0] = p1;
positions[1] = p2;
positions[2] = p3;
trace(positions);
// output : (x=78, y=200),(x=217, y=200),(x=356, y=200)
So, you're still unclear!
Your issue is to find a random position?
This may help you if this is the problem you're facing :
import flash.geom.Point;
var positions:Vector.<Point > = new Vector.<Point > (3);
var numbers:Vector.<uint> = new Vector.<uint>();
var numbersAllowed:uint = 3;
var rndNmbrs:Vector.<uint> = new Vector.<uint>(3);;
var p1:Point = new Point(78,200);
var p2:Point = new Point(217,200);
var p3:Point = new Point(356,200);
positions[0] = p1;
positions[1] = p2;
positions[2] = p3;
trace(positions);
function populateRndNmbrs(n:uint):void {
for (var i:uint = 0; i < n; i++)
{
numbers[i] = i;
}
}
populateRndNmbrs(numbersAllowed);
function populateRandomNumbers(n:uint):void
{
var rnd:uint;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < n; i++)
{
rnd = numbers[Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.length)];
for (var j:uint = 0; j < numbers.length; j++)
{
if (rnd == numbers[j])
{
numbers.splice(j,1);
}
}
rndNmbrs[i] = rnd;
}
}
populateRandomNumbers(numbersAllowed);
trace("rndNmbrs = " + rndNmbrs);
for (var i:uint = 0; i < numbersAllowed; i++)
{
trace("b"+ (i+1) + ".x = " + positions[rndNmbrs[i]].x);
trace("b"+ (i+1) + ".y = " + positions[rndNmbrs[i]].y);
// In place of trace, you should place the boxes at those random positions.;
}
//output:
//(x=78, y=200),(x=217, y=200),(x=356, y=200)
//rndNmbrs = 2,0,1
//b1.x = 356
//b1.y = 200
//b2.x = 78
//b2.y = 200
//b3.x = 217
//b3.y = 200
Is that what you want? Or do you want to know how to create a motion effect?
I'm not sure about what you really need...
This will help you to place all the boxes in a random position.
You may do this like here bellow, and add a function to check if the random positions are not the same.
With only 3 MovieClips, you will often have the same random positions as long they're stored in the "positions Vector"
var squares:Vector.<MovieClip> = new Vector.<MovieClip>(3);
function populateMCs(target:DisplayObjectContainer,n:uint):void{
for (var i:uint = 0; i < n; i++){
squares[i] = target["b"+(i+1)];
}
}
function swapMCs():void{
for (var i:uint=0; i<squares.length; i++){
squares[i].x = positions[rndNmbrs[i]].x;
squares[i].y = positions[rndNmbrs[i]].y;
}
}
populateMCs(this,numbersAllowed);
swapMCs();
I give you a last example to get a motion effect in AS3.
I'm not a translator AS2 -> AS3 and a video is not the best way to show your code :(
This will make your boxes move smoothly, but not the way you want.
Now, you have to learn AS3 and try to make the job by yourself.
Then, if you have another issue, just ask clearly what you want.
var friction:Number = 0.15;
setDestination(squares[0],squares[0].x,350,friction);
setDestination(squares[1],squares[1].x,350,friction);
setDestination(squares[2],squares[2].x,350,friction);
squares[0].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveClip);
squares[1].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveClip);
squares[2].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveClip);
function setDestination(mc:MovieClip,x:uint,y:uint,friction:Number):void{
mc.destinx = x;
mc.destiny = y;
mc.f = friction;
}
function moveClip(e:Event):void{
var mc:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
trace(mc.name)
mc.speedx = (mc.destinx - mc.x);
mc.speedy = (mc.destiny - mc.y);
mc.x += mc.speedx*mc.f;
mc.y += mc.speedy*mc.f;
if((Math.floor(mc.speedx)<1) && (Math.floor(mc.speedy)<1)){
mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveClip);
trace("STOP MOVE FOR " + mc.name);
}
}
I want to check for a straight combination in a poker game.
So, I have this array: var tempArr:Array = new Array;
I have this for sorting the array:
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
tempArr[i] = pValue[i];
}
tempArr.sort( Array.NUMERIC );
pValue is the value of the cards, it's have range from 2 to 14.
So, if I have this Array: tempArray = [2,3,3,4,5,5,6];
How can I check if I have a straight combination in my hand?
Set a bucket array to save if you got a card in hand
var t:Array = [];
//t[2] = 1;mean you have 2
// t[3] = 0;mean you don't have 3
//first initialize t
for（var i:int = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
t[i] = 0;
}
//then set the values from tempArray
for (var j:int = 0; j < tempArray.length; j++)
{
t[tempArray[j]] = 1;
}
//if you have a straight combination in your hand
//you will get a k that t[k] & t[k-1]& t[k-2] & t[k-3] & t[k-4] == 1
var existed:boolean = false;//the flag save if you got a straight combination
for (var k:int = t.length - 1; k >= 4; k--)
{
if (t[k] == 0)
{
continue;
}
if ((t[k] & t[k-1] & t[k-2] & t[k-3] & t[k-4]) == 1)
{
existed = true;
break;
}
}
i dont know why this doesnt work. i have a tabnavigator which i dynamically add a navigatecontainer to which has a textarea dynamically added to the nav container. the id's of both have the same stringname as the chatguys[c][0].
it gives errors saying 'TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert spark.skins.spark::SkinnableContainerSkin#9737851 to spark.components.TextArea." at runtime. wut do?
any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you :(
var idx:uint;
const len:uint = navigate.numChildren;
var alreadyexists:Boolean = false;
for (idx = 0; idx < len; idx++) {
//var check:spark.components.TextArea = navigate.getElementAt(idx) as spark.components.TextArea;
//var check:Tab = navigate.getTabAt(idx) as Tab;
var check:NavigatorContent = navigate.getChildAt(idx) as NavigatorContent;
// var check = navigate.getElementAt(idx);
//elmt.selected = tgBtn.selected;
if (check.label == evt.username)
{// trace(navigate.getChildAt(idx).label);
var c:uint;
const p:uint = chatguys.length;
for (c = 0; c < p; c++){
if(chatguys[c][0] == evt.username){
spark.components.TextArea(DisplayObjectContainer(navigate.getChildAt(idx)).getChildAt(chatguys[c][0])).textFlow=TextConverter.importToFlow(chatguys[c][1], TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
}}
b here ill show you the second half which works fine, but maybe i need to do it differently to get waht i need done ?

What gives the best performance? (edited to include another option)
var myVec:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
for (...)
// Do stuff - example: myVec.push(Math.random());
// Need to empty and repopulate vector
myVec.splice(0, myVec.length);
// OR

I have heard that:
myVec.length=0
is the fastest way... but i never verify this point
Using the code below I've found myVec = new Vector.<T>() is the fastest way.
Output (average times in ms to empty a Vector.<Number> with 100000 random entries):
