Array Comparison ( Flash 8 )

Hello,
I am trying to write a function that will "highlight" days
in a month--for a calendar I'm making.
The dates I have come in from PHP/MySQL look like this:
YYYY-MM-DD.
I split up the date by "year", "month" and "day" then put
them into an array like so:
////CODE////
function editDateResults( d:Array ){ // d = an array full of
dates formated YYYY-MM-DD
for( var i:Number=0 ; i < d.length ; i++){
year.push( parseInt( d
.substring( 0 , 4 ) ) );
month.push( parseInt( d.substring(5 , 7 ) ) );
day.push( parseInt( d
.substring(8 , 10 ) ) );
}//end for
}//end function
////END CODE////
How do I take those arrays and line them up with my Calendar
days.
I tried something like this. DON'T LAUGH! It worked kind of!
LOL
////CODE////
var l:Number = 0;
var d:Number = 0;
var count:Number = 0;
function highlightDay( ){
count = 0; //reset;
while( true ){
count++;
l++;
l %= month.length;
d++;
d %= 31;
if( monthsByNumber[n]+1 == month[l] and d == day[l] ){ // n
= a number changed by pressing "next" or "prev" button
var DayColor = new Color( Calendar["daycube"+ d] );
//Calendar = main clip. "daybube" is just a little cube with a
number representing the day ( inside Calendar ).
var colorTransform:Object = { ra:50 , ga:50 , ba:50 };
DayColor.setTransform( colorTransform );
Calendar["daycube"+d].hasEvent = true;
Calendar["daycube"+d].eventNumber = l;
}else{
var DayColor = new Color( Calendar["daycube"+d] );
var colorTransform:Object = { ra:100 , ga:100 , ba:100 };
DayColor.setTransform( colorTransform );
Calendar["daycube"+d].hasEvent = false;
}//end if
if( count >= ( month.length * 31) ){ break }; //how many
times to check
}//end while
}//end function
////END CODE////
Thanks for any help you can give!

Never mind. I figured it out!

  • Passing flash array to flash sprite

    Hi,
    I am trying to pass a flash array like [{x:1,y:2},{x:1,y:2},{x:3,y:5}] from a flash sprite to Director lingo and back to another flash sprite. In director all looks fine when passing it back to the second sprite but the flash trace command just gives me undefined values. Can't I do this in lingo?
    in lingo:
        put " flashAry.length " &  flashAry.length
        flashObject.DrawAry(flashAry,"testxy")
    Output window:
    -- " flashAry.length 23.0000"
    in ActionScript
        function DrawAry(points:Array,test){
        trace(">DrawAry " + points + " " + points.length + " >" + test + "<")
    Output window:
    -- >DrawAry undefined undefined >testxy<

    Had a very similar problem and found a solution...
    Hope this helps....
    -- This GETS an array from Flash to Director
    -- 'myFlashArray' is the name of the array in your Flash file
    -- 'flaArray' is the new list created in Director
    -- And obviously, the flash file is on sprite 1
      flaArray = convert(#list, sprite(1).myFlashArray)
      put flaArray
    -- This SENDS a Director list to flash (as an array)
    -- 'zz' is just a temporary variable so the script is easier to read
    -- 'dirList' is your Director List
    -- 'myNewFlashArray' is the name of the newly created array in your flash file
    -- again, the flash file is on sprite 1 in this case
      dirList = ["item 1","item 2","item 3"]
      zz = convert(#flashObjectArray, dirList).toString()
      sprite(1).createVariable(#myNewFlashArray, zz )
    NOTE: I'm using an undocumented 'convert' function that is only available in Director 10.1.1 onwards...

  • Director Array to Flash Array?

    I'd like to be able to create an array in Director, and then
    pass that array object into Flash and use it there. I can use
    Director to manipulate a Flash array, but I haven't been successful
    in passing an array object.
    Any help?

    If you have the new (at least more recent) Director 10.1
    update with the
    new Flash Asset Xtra, you can use the brand spankin new
    convert() method
    to do just that.
    Here is a technote (pdf) about how to use it:

    Distinct clause requires a sort. Sorts can be very expensive.
    Bulk collects that are not constrained in fetch size, can potentially fetch millions of rows - requiring that data to be wholly read into server memory. I have seen how this can degrade performance so badly that the kernel reboots the server.
    Using PL/SQL loops to process and insert/update/delete data is often problematic due to its row-by-row approach - also called slow-by-slow approach. It is far more scalable letting SQL do the "loop" processing, by using joins, sub-selects and so on.
    Where the conditional processing is too complex for SQL to handle, then PL/SQL is obviously an alternative to use. Ideally one should process data sets as oppose to rows in PL//SQL. Reduce context switching by using bulk fetches and bulk binds.
    But PL/SQL cannot execute in parallel as the SQL it fires off can. If after all the optimisation, the PL/SQL process still needs to hit a million rows to process, it will be slow irrespective of how optimal that PL/SQL approach and design - simply because of the number of rows and the processing overheads per row.
    In that case, the PL/SQL code itself need to be parallelised. There are a number of ways to approach this problem - the typical one is to create unique and distinct ranges of rows to process, spawn multiple P/SQL processes, and provide each with a unique range of rows to process. In parallel.
    So you need to look close at what you are trying to achieve, what the workloads are, and how to effectively decrease the workloads and increase the processing time of a workload.
    For example - finding distinct column values. You can pay for that workload when wanting that distinct list. And each time afterward repeat that workload when wanting that distinct list. Or you can pay for that workload up-front with the DML that creates/updates those values - and use (for example) a materialised view to maintain a ready to use distinct list of values.
    Same workload in essence - but paying once for it and up-front as oppose to each time you execute your code that needs to dynamically build that distinct list.
    Kent Crotty did tests and showed stunning performance improvements with bulk collect and forall, up to 30x faster:Bulk processing is not a magical silver bullet. It is a tool. And when correctly use, the tool does exactly what it was designed to do.
    The problem is using a hammer to drive in screws - instead of a screwdriver. There's nothing "stunning" about using a screwdriver. It is all about using the correct tool.
    If the goal of the swap daemon is to free up "idle" chunks of memory, and try to use that memory for things like file cache instead, what does that have to do with bulk processing?The swap daemon reads virtual memory pages from swap space into memory, and writes virtual pages from memory to swap space.
    What does it have to do with bulk processing? A bulk fetch reads data from the SGA (buffer cache) into the PGA (private process memory space). The larget the fetch, the more memory is required. If for example 50% of server memory is required for a bulk collection that is 2GB in size, then that will force in-use pages from memory to swap space.. only to be swapped back again as it is needed, thereby forcing other in-use pages to swap. The swap daemon will consume almost all the CPU time swapping hot pages continually in and out of memory.

  • Simple array comparison not working. Please HELP!

    I have been struggling to solve this problem for a few days now, and I'm slowly losing my mind.
    I am in Adobe Acrobat 10.
    I have a group of button fields called: btn0, btn1, btn2, etc.
    I have a group of text fields called: txt0, txt1, txt2, etc.
    I have a script that takes the value of txt0 and makes it the caption for btn0, and so on.
    I have a script that sets the MouseUp action of btn0 to setFocus to txt0, and so on.
    These scripts work fine.
    I have a script that takes the values of all the txt fields and puts them in an array, and sorts it.
    I have a script that takes the array[0] item and makes it the caption for btn0, and so on (alphabetizing my list of buttons).
    Those scripts work fine.
    I am trying to compare the value of the array[0] item to each of the txt fields to find the match, and then set the MouseUp action of btn0 to setFocus to the matching txt field, and so on (so my alphabetized list points to the correct locations).
    This is where I'm at a loss.
    Here is what I have:
    //specified the txt fields
    var txt0 = this.getField("Z name");
    var txt1 = this.getField("A name");
    //etc.
    //put their values into an array called rxArray
    var rxArray = [txt0.value, txt1.value]; //etc.
    //sorted the array
    rxArray.sort();
    //set the captions equal to the sorted array items
    for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        var b = ("btn" + i);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(rxArray[i]); //works fine; alphabetizes the list of buttons
        //below is what goes wrong
        for(var x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
            var r = ("txt" + x);
            if(rxArray[i] == r.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    Here is what I know:
    The alphabetizing and labeling works fine, but the buttons' MouseUp scripts don't work at all. Nothing happens.
    If I change the following piece of the above script:
            if(rxArray[i] == r.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    To this:
            if(rxArray[i] == txt1.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    Because rxArray[0] does equal the value of txt1 ("A name"), then the MouseUp script for btn0 gets set to:
    txt4.setFocus();
    So I know that, each time the nested loop runs, the if statement is true, and the setFocus script updates. Until the end of the loop, leaving the setFocus as the last item run. So why doesn't my script work? It should only update the setFocus script IF the array item matches the txt field, and should set it to THAT txt field.
    Please please help. I know I'm missing something simple in there somewhere.

    @Try67:
    That's a good question. I was running into some other issues and have revamped my code. Here is what I have in my test file:
    A list of five buttons and a list of five text fields. One additional button that sets the focus to the next empty text field to add a new item, and two additional buttons, one that sorts my list alphabetically, and one that unsorts it.
    with the following field names
    The sort button calls function sortName and the unsort calls function sortNumber (the order of entry).
    Here are those scripts in final form:
    function sortName() {
    //first reset the captions for the buttons to blank
    for (var a = 0; a < 5; a++) {
        var b = ("btn" + a);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption("");
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var rxArray = [txt0.value, txt1.value, txt2.value, txt3.value, txt4.value];
    for(var m = rxArray.length - 1; m > -1; m--){
        if(rxArray[m] == ""){
            rxArray.splice(m, 1);
    rxArray.sort();
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for(var n = newArray.length - 1; n > -1; n--){
        if(newArray[n].value == ""){
            newArray.splice(n, 1);
    for (var i = 0; i < rxArray.length; i++) {
        var b = ("btn" + i);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(rxArray[i]);
        for (var x = 0; x < newArray.length; x++) {
            if(rxArray[i] == newArray[x].value){
                var s = ("this.getField('" + newArray[x].name + "').setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    function sortNumber() {
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for (var x = 0; x < newArray.length; x++) {
        var b = ("btn" + x);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(newArray[x].value);
        var s = ("this.getField('" + newArray[x].name + "').setFocus();");
        this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    As you can see, I've used the array lengths rather than fixed numbers, except when clearing the button values. I use a number there because there is no array to reference and didn't feel like making an array just for that. The number of buttons won't change.
    I've also added in a splice() method to remove the blank entries from my arrays when appropriate (making using the array length even more important).
    The result of the sort is:
    The only quirk I've found in all this is with the Add New button, which calls function addNew, which is:
    function addNew() {
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for (var i =  newArray.length - 1; i > -1 ; i--) {
        if (newArray[i].value == "") {
            newArray[i].setFocus();
    //end
    For this, I would have though that running through the array from start to finish looking for the first empty text field and setting the focus to it would have been correct. But that resulted in the last empty text field being focused. So I reversed the for loop to run finish to start, and the result was that the first empty field was focused. Not sure why that is...

  • TextField to String array comparison?

    Hello, I am wanting to be able to compare a users entry into a textField (single character) to the characters that are in my String array. Is this possible and how can I go about achieving it?
    My String array contains single characters in the alphabet - if a user does not type in one of these I would like to output -System.out.println("Out of Bounds");
    Thank You.

    So, to make sure I understand you, you have an array of characters that are "allowable", and if a user enters a string that has any characters that are not in the allowable set, you want an error message? If so, and starting from your code, try this:
    char[] myArray = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'};
    String allowable = new String(myArray);
    // I assume textFieldComponents is the user-entered String, though
    // the name doesn't really suggest that
    // Run through all characters in the user entry
    for (int i = 0; i < textFieldComponents.length(); i++) {
        // Check each character in the allowable array
        // (I assume the allowable characters array is myArray)
        if (allowable.indexOf(textFieldComponents.charAt(i)) == -1) {
         System.out.println("Out of bounds");
         break;
    }Hope that helped

  • Array comparison(houston?houston?help!!!!!!)

    hello!!!thank u all for ur help about string sorting...but, actually i have a bigger problem....
    i'm creating a game where the user has to input 3 different characters...the program has to calculate the number of characters correct and in the right position(bulls) and the number of characters correct but in the wrong position(hits).
    "guess" is the user input and code the three different characters generated by the computer.
    With the following code, i asked the computer to display the case where there are three bulls(in that case there is no hit)...is this code correct?
    if(guess.equals(code)) //calculate the number of bulls
    textArea1.append("\t\t"+3+0)
    But i' d like to generate a general code to calculate the number of bulls and hits...
    although i think i know (?) in theory what to do(declare the two strings as 2 different arrays and then compare the content of each array index, in practice, i dont know how to start!!!!If u could just show me the way.....
    thank u again for ur help.
    }

    You should think of a mechanism that consumes bulls and then hits.
    For example, beware of cases like code="abc" and guess="aba".
    I guess this should give bulls=2, hits=0 and not bulls=2, hits=1.
    Another example: code="abc" and guess="daa" should give bulls=0, hits=1 and not bulls=0, hits=2.
    If you are using Java 1.5, you can use StringBuffer.deleteCharAt(int) for that.
    Assuming that both code and guess have the same length, here is piece of code for counting/consuming bulls:StringBuffer codeBuf = new StringBuffer(code);
    StringBuffer guessBuf = new StringBuffer(guess);
    int bullCount = 0;
    for(int i=guessBuf.length(); i>= 0; i--) {
      if(guessBuf.charAt(i) == codeBuf.charAt(i)) {
        bullCount ++;
        guessBuf.removeCharAt(i);
        codeBuf.removeCharAt(i);
    int hitCount = 0;
    // Make a loop similar to the first one for finding/consuming hits...Note: if you aren't using Java 1.5, you could make your own method for removing a char in a string.

  • Array problem in FL 1.x

    Is there any alternative for array in Flash Lite 1.X
    (excluding PSUEDO Array)?

    Yes, since arrays structures are not natively supported in
    Flash Lite
    prior to 2.x, developers must use one of two methods for 1.1
    content
    (that I know of) to simulate them:
    1.) Use the eval statement (2) or a movieclip to store and
    reference
    vars. Depending on your situation and/or needs one may be
    more
    appropriate to what you are doing than the other.
    1.) eval method:
    arr1 = "a"
    arr2 = "b"
    arr3 = "c";
    for ( i=1; i<=3; i++ ) {
    trace( eval( "arr" add i ) );
    2.) Create an empty movieclip off stage. Assign it an
    instance name of
    array_mc (or whatever) ... use it to store vars. Use the
    syntax:
    array_mc[0] = "a";
    array_mc[1] = "b";
    array_mc[2] = "c";
    trace( array_mc[0] );
    Also, here is a Pseudo array class for 1.1 from Aral Balkan

  • XML newbie question - xml into arrays

    I am pretty new xml and I am working with a file that has
    text
    associated with images in the file and I would like to move
    the text
    into a xml document.
    I heard that a good way to deal with xml is to load it into
    an array. I
    have my text set up in arrays already, so my whole file
    aready works in
    that way. So all I have to do is load my xml document into my
    arrays. I
    have the xml document loading fine, but I don't know how to
    get the info
    into my arrays.
    My xml document looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <index_content>
    <image no="1">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 01"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 01, Text bla bla, bla
    01"</text>
    <corner>"unisex"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="2">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 02"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 02, Text bla bla, bla
    02"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="3">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 03"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 03, Text bla bla, bla
    03"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="4">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 04"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 04, Text bla bla, bla
    04"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    </index_content>
    My arrays in Flash are:
    var imgLinkURLs:Array = [];
    var imgTitles:Array = [];
    var imgTexts:Array = [];
    var imgCornerLabel:Array = [];
    So I think i need for loops pushing for example imgLink from
    image no1
    into imgLinkURLs array, then push imgLink from image no2, and
    so forth.
    Then do the same for imgTitle and the other arrays...
    How would I do this the right way?

    you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
    tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
    arrays
    for (i...) {
    get the appropriate child of index_content
    first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
    second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
    no need for multiple loops.
    flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
    a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
    you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
    to you, but it's not very complicated to do

  • Arrays

    hi,
    i'm working on a project and i thought that an easy way to
    get around a problem i have would be to make an array to store info
    and then output it later. But i have no idea how to make an array
    in flash... could someone please explain how to define an array and
    possibly ouput the contents of it in a text box, with each 'cell'
    of the array on a new line in the text box.
    Thanks,
    Tommy

    This is the kind of question that you should get the answer
    from reading the help docs that comes with Flash.... but anyways,
    To create array, use either, new Array() or the shorthand, [
    ]. You can use new Array() to make an array with a specific length,
    or give the actual elements in it. E.g.:
    myArray = new Array(10);
    trace(myArray.length); // outputs 10
    trace(myArray); // 10x undefined => values not defined yet
    OR
    myArray = new Array("a ball","a cat",32324324);
    With [ ], it would be:
    myArray = ["a ball","a cat",32324324];
    You can manipulate individual values, using the array access
    operator. Arrays are indexed 0-based.
    myArray = ["a ball","a cat",32324324];
    trace(myArray[0]); // "a ball"
    myArray[1] = "a dog";
    trace(myArray); // a ball, a dog, 32324324
    You can add values to the array using push:
    myArray = ["a ball","a cat",32324324];
    myArray.push("eeeeeeeeeeeek");
    trace(myArray); // a ball, a cat, 32324324, eeeeeeeeeeeek
    To put the contents of the array, myArray into a textfield,
    my_txt, use:
    my_txt.text = myArray.join('\n');
    But really, if you want it explained thoroughly, read the
    docs! :-)

  • List to array question

    I have a list stored in mysql database that looks like this:
    12, 45, A, 87, B, 98
    I need to use coldfusion to retreive the list and convert
    each item to an element of an array. i.e.:
    tempArray [0] = 12;
    tempArray [1] = 45;
    and so on. I need to do this because I'm returning the
    created array to flash.
    Thanks for your help!

    If you literally want to return 12, 45, A, 87, B, 98, then
    understand that is not an array, it's a list. The example in your
    first post indicated you wanted an array - tempArray[1] = 12,
    tempArray[2] = 45, etc. Which is it, or am I confused?
    BTW, you don't need the [,] in the ListToArray function - I'm
    surprised it did not throw a compile error. Just do this: <cfset
    tempArray = ListToArray(detailsList)>

  • Saving flash object in lingo?

    Hi,
    I want to use multiple Flash movies in one Director movie
    with one XML
    file (UTF8).
    Is it possible to load the XML data into flash and save it as
    object to
    a Director global and later put this object on another flash
    sprite?
    If I have lots of XML data my flash would take a long time to
    load and
    parase the XML data again and again.
    Is it a good idea to store flash data into director?
    TIA

    Sorry I don't understand this.
    First I parse my XML data in flash and create an array of it.
    I tried to get an array from Flash and store it's Data in my
    Director
    Movie. I tried just to get it via getVariables but I get an
    empty string
    instead of an array back.
    fl2 = sprite(9).getVariable("_level0.strary",false);
