Adding indexes in array - actionscript-3

I am adding two matrices (or possibly many) in ActionScript 3.0.
Now my problem is how can I add indexes in array that is something like this?
array1[1,2,3,4] + array2[2,4,5,6] = answer[3,6,8,10]

This function adds up all the arrays that are passed to it:
function sumOfArrays(...args):Array
{
var sum:Array = [];
var arrays:Array = [];
var longestArrayLength:uint = 0;
for (var i:int = 0, n:int = args.length; i < n; i++)
{
if (args[i] is Array)
{
arrays.push(args[i]);
longestArrayLength = args[i].length > longestArrayLength ? args[i].length : longestArrayLength;
}
}
for (var j:int = 0; j < longestArrayLength; j++)
{
sum[j] = 0;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
sum[j] += isNaN(arrays[i][j]) ? 0 : arrays[i][j];
}
}
return sum;
}
It can be used like this:
var sum:Array = sumOfArrays(array1, array2);

That's not possible. Arrays only allows access via one index. You'd have to write a method on your own for this. But be aware of the fact, that null would be referenced on answer at, 0, 1, 2, 4, 5 and so on.

adding X amount of addChild per maxvalue in loop

The assignment is the spawn several light and dark feathers according to score points from a quiz. The light feathers symbolize the correct points (light_feather), and the dark feather are the incorrect points (dark_feather) (Each are being tracked). All the feathers are supposed to line up on one line, meaning first light feathers, followed by the dark feathers. I got the quiz dynamics figured out, and the function I have posted here is only for when they press end quiz.
var light_feather:LightFeather = new LightFeather();
var dark_feather:DarkFeather = new DarkFeather();
var good_answers:uint = 0;
var bad_answers:uint = 0;
function avsluttFunc (evt:MouseEvent)
{
var sum_LightFeatherX:Number = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < good_answers; i++) {
addChild(light_feather);
light_feather.x += 12 + (i*16);
light_feather.y = 0;
trace("Lys X-verdi: " + light_feather.x);
sum_LightFeatherX += Number(light_feather.x);
return sum_LightFeatherX;
}
trace(sum_LightFeatherX);
dark_feather.x += sum_LightFeatherX;
for (var j = 1; j <= bad_answers; j++) {
addChild(dark_feather);
dark_feather.x += 12 + (j*16);
dark_feather.y = 0;
trace("Mørk X-verdi: " + dark_feather.x);
}
/*
//Resetter poengsummen
good_answers = 0;
bad_answers = 0;
*/
}
You can do what you are looking for using only one for loop, take a look :
var good_answers:uint = 2;
var bad_answers:uint = 4;
function avsluttFunc(evt:MouseEvent)
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < good_answers + bad_answers; i++) {
var feather:DisplayObject = i < good_answers ? new LightFeather() : new DarkFeather();
feather.x += 12 + i * (feather.width + 1);
feather.y = 0;
addChild(feather);
}
}
This code example will create 4 DarkFeather instances next to 2 LightFeather ones.
Edit :
How to add your objects to an array ?
// feathers array should be accessible for both codes (adding and removing objects)
var feathers:Array = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < good_answers + bad_answers; i++) {
var feather:DisplayObject = i < good_answers ? new LightFeather() : new DarkFeather();
addChild(feather);
feathers.push(feather);
}
then to remove them from the stage, you can do for example :
for (var i:int = 0; i < feathers.length; i++) {
var feather:DisplayObject = DisplayObject(feathers[i]);
feather.parent.removeChild(feather);
}
Hope that can help.

Cesium.js How to get each tiles' level?

I am trying to get each tiles' rectangle and level in current view, and use these information to do some ajax request.
Now I have already got all rectangles through:
var tileRecangles = [];
var tilesToRender = viewer.scene.globe._surface.tileProvider._tilesToRenderByTextureCount;
if (Cesium.defined(tilesToRender)) {
for (var j = 0, len = tilesToRender.length; j < len; j++) {
var quadTrees = tilesToRender[j];
if (Cesium.defined(quadTrees)) {
for (var i = 0; i < quadTrees.length; i++) {
tileRecangles.push(quadTrees[i].rectangle);
}
}
}
}
The question is how to get the level for each tiles?
The value in red circles of this screenshot
Thanks.
I think it's just quadTrees[i].level in the same place where you have quadTrees[i].rectangle.

Is there any difference in performance between these two for loop?

As I said: Is there any difference (in performance) between these two for loop?
Between this:
var n:int = displayObjects_.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
var currentObject:DisplayObject = displayObjects_[i];
currentObject.width = newWidth;
}
and this:
var n:int = displayObjects_.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
displayObjects_[i].width = newWidth;
}
I tested them before. The result said the first one was faster but I don't know if I did it right.
I know it's not really an answer to your question, but if you're looking for fastest way to iterate through this array you should do:
for each(var currentObject:DisplayObject in displayObjects_) {
currentObject.width = newWidth;
}
I tried this out on a bare-bones project using SDK 4.6. This is the code.
public class Main extends Sprite
{
public function Main()
{
var displayObjects_:Array = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
{
displayObjects_.push(new Sprite());
}
var start:int = getTimer();
for (i = 0; i < displayObjects_.length; i++)
{
var currentObject:Sprite = displayObjects_[i];
currentObject.width = 100;
}
var end:int = getTimer()
trace(end, start, end - start);
start = getTimer();
for (i = 0; i < displayObjects_.length; i++)
{
displayObjects_[i].width = 100;
}
end = getTimer()
trace(end, start, end - start);
}
}
These are the results.

Like I said, it would be very surprising to see any difference between the two. You'll probably see more improvements through using Vector instead of Array. Otherwise, this stuff is too mundane to fuss over.
As I know, Actionscript compiler automatically moves variable definitions to the begin of the function. So, this loop doesn't declare variable each time, first sample the same that:
var currentObject:DisplayObject;
var n:int = displayObjects_.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
currentObject = displayObjects_[i];
currentObject.width = newWidth;
}
So, I think the difference only in one additional variable declare and it willn't affects performance. But 3vilguy's example is better.

Creating Multiple Values In For Loop [AS3]

I am trying to create multiple Numbers with for loop.
var sasutu1x : Number = Number(sasutu1.text);
var sasutu2x : Number = Number(sasutu2.text);
var sasutu3x : Number = Number(sasutu3.text);
var sasutu4x : Number = Number(sasutu4.text);
var sasutu5x : Number = Number(sasutu5.text);
var sasutu6x : Number = Number(sasutu6.text);
My Solution :
var i:int;
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
var this["sasutu" i + "x"] : Number = Number(["sasutu" + i].text);
}
Thanks for you help.
You can use a Vector, or if you want to get a reference to that number by name later, you can also use a Dictionary.
var i:int;
var sasutuDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary(true);
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
sasutuDict["sasutu" i + "x"] = Number(["sasutu" + i].text);
}
One advantage of a dictionary, is that you can even do something like this:
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
var sasutuTexField:TextField = this["sasutu" + i];
sasutuDict[sasutuTexField] = Number(sasutuTexField.text);
}
Meaning you can have the key of the dictionary be the text field itself.
A better solution would be to use a Vector instead.
var vec:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
vec.push(Number(["sasutu"+i].text));
}

reading out multi dimensional array

the multi array is read in correctly
but reading out the array he messes up.
the action that suppose to be done on each element from array in array, he doesn't do it anymore when more indexes in 2 array are made.
when a second index in 2 array i made he doesn't do this action anymore on previous index, only the last made index.
thanks
private var Enemy:Array = new Array();//1st array
private var EnemyHull:Array = new Array();
private var waves:Array = new Array();//2 array ==> array 1 get in this
private function enterFrame(e:Event):void
{
//Enemy Ai
for(var i2:uint; i2 < waves.length; i2++){
for(var i:uint; i < Enemy.length; i++){
waves[i2][i].x -= 1;//when a second index in 2 array i made he doesn't do this action anymore on previous index, only the last made index.
}
}
}
private function enemySpawnen(event:TimerEvent):void
{
for(var i:uint = 0; i < hoeveelheidEnemy;i++){
//
}
if(Enemy[i] != null){;
viewContainer.addChild(Enemy[i]);
//
}
}
waves[iwaves] = Enemy;
iwaves++;
}
function shoot(e:Event):void
{
//
try{
for(var i2:uint; i2 < waves.length; i2++){
for(var i:uint = Enemy.length-1; i >= 0;i--){
if(kogel.hitTestObject(waves[i2][i])){
//
}
}
}
}
}
catch(e:Error){
}
}
}
Your for loops misses an important thing to work properly : you have to initialize your iterator (i or i2) to a starting value.
You wrote :
for(var i2:uint; i2 < waves.length; i2++){
for(var i:uint; i < Enemy.length; i++){
waves[i2][i].x -= 1;
}
}
But what you need is :
for(var i2:uint = 0; i2 < waves.length; i2++){
for(var i:uint = 0; i < Enemy.length; i++){
waves[i2][i].x -= 1;
}
}
Dont forget the = 0 in your loop declaration !
