How do i use Arrays and For Loops in Loading Multiple Images?

I am struggling to load a sequential array of images to appear like a moving image. So when u click the button the images load one after the other.
The code below is what i have so far, but it fails to do what i seek in that there's only one image loading which is the last image in the array, so either because the images are stacking up atop each other, or because i simply dont understand the basics...
And, i am unclear about what you said kglad, that my solution will be more complicated because i need to preload my image sequence and then use a loop to load it?
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
var count:int = 0;
var imageArray:Array=["1.jpg","2.jpg","3.jpg","4.jpg","5.jpg","6.jpg","7.jpg",
"8.jpg","9.jpg","10.jpg","11.jpg","12.jpg","13.jpg"];
for(var i:uint=0;i<imageArray.length;i++){
var btn:YourButton=new YourButton();
btn.ivar=i;
addChild(btn);
btn.x=0;
btn.y=0;
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(ldr);
ldr.x=20;
ldr.y=20;
function clickF(e:MouseEvent){
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("D:/flash cs5.5/image_sequence/twirlSeq/"+imageArray[e.currentTarget.ivar]));
function loadComplete(e:Event){
     // first process loaded image, then...
    count++;
    if(count < imageArray.length){
        loadCurrentImage();  // load the next image
    } else {
        // sequencial loading complete, carry on to next activity
function loadCurrentImage(){
     ldr.load(imageArray[count]);
     ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

create a new fla, add btn and add the code i suggested.  test.
var count:int;
var imageArray:Array=["1.jpg","2.jpg","3.jpg","4.jpg","5.jpg","6.jpg","7. jpg",
"8.jpg","9.jpg","10.jpg","11.jpg","12.jpg","13.jpg"];
var ldr0:Loader=new Loader();
ldr0.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);
var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
// initialize count
count=0;
// call loadF
loadF();
function loadF():void{
// add one of the loaders to the top of the displaylist and load the next image
addChild(this["ldr"+count%2])
this["ldr"+count%2].load(new URLRequest(imageArray[count]));
function loadCompleteF(e:Event):void{
// increment count
count++;
// check if the last has loaded
if(count<imageArray.length){
// if not clear the content out of the next loader.
if(this["ldr"+count%2].content){
this["ldr"+count%2].unloadAndStop();
// and call loadF so the next loader can load the next image in the array
loadF();
} else {
// if the last has loaded.
// last load completed

  • How do I use an enhanced for loop / for each on my ViewObjectImpl ?

    Guys and Gals,
    With all of my newly acquired Java knowledge in tow, I spent this weekend cleaning up all of my code, dealing mainly with for loops. I converted them from a huge mess to a for each type loop using language such as ...
        RowSet priceUpdateRows = (RowSet)((PriceUpdatesViewRowImpl) priceUpdate).getPriceUpdateRowsView();
        for (Row priceUpdateRow: priceUpdateRows)
        { // do operations on row... which makes perfect sense to me. For each Row in the RowSet, do something. It doesn't, however, makes sense to the compiler. It pouts and gives me a "foreach not applicable to expression type" error. So I read up on iterators and such, messed with code examples, and still can't get the RowSet to iterate with the above code. Could I make RowSet implement Iterable? How would I do that? I tried to create a class called RowSetExt which extended RowSet and implemented Iterable, but then I got a class cast exception.
    I know I could implement something like the following or a while(hasNext()) but they're really not what I'm looking for.
    ViewObject vo = … < Get ViewObject > …
    RowSetIterator rsi = vo.createRowSetIterator("rowsRSI");
    while (rsi.hasNext())
         Row row = rsi.next();
         row.setAttribute("YourAttribute",your_value);
         rsi.closeRowSetIterator();How do I make the for(Row row : <RowSet>) example work? Or could someone point me in a direction?
    Will

    One thing I tried was to make a framework extension class for my ViewObjectImpls
    public class PcsViewObjectImpl
      extends ViewObjectImpl
      implements Iterable<Row>
      Set<Row> set = new HashSet<Row>();
      public Iterator<Row> getRows()
        return set.iterator();
      public Iterator<Row> iterator()
        return getRows();
    }AppModuleImpl
        PriceUpdateRowsViewRowImpl priceUpdateRows = (PriceUpdateRowsViewRowImpl)((PriceUpdatesViewRowImpl) priceUpdate).getPriceUpdateRowsView();
        for (Row priceUpdateRow: priceUpdateRows)
        {However, this gives me a class cast exception at runtime. But I would think some kind of extension class would be the way to go ... ?

  • Why use cursor and for loop?

    Hi All
    So in general why would we use a cursor and a for loop to do update in a stored procedure?
    Why wouldnt we just use a single update statement ?
    is there compelling reason for using a cursor and a for loop: I am reading some code from a co-worker that the business logic for the select (set need to be updated) is complex but the update logic is simple (just set a flag to (0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4).
    But eventually the select come down to a key (row_id) so I re-write it using just a single sql statement.
    The size of the main table is about 2.6 to 3million rows
    Any thoughts on that??
    The code below I just do a google for cursor for update example in case for something to play with
    -Thanks for all your input

    Adding my sixpence...
    PL/SQL is not that different from a SQL perspective than any other SQL client language like Java or C# or C/C++. PL/SQL simply integrates the 2 languages a heck of a lot better and far more transparent than the others. But make no mistake in that PL/SQL is also a "client" language from a SQL perspective. The (internal) calls PL/SQL make to the SQL engine, are the same (driver) calls made to the SQL engine when using Java and C and the others.
    So why a cursor and loops in PL/SQL? For the same reason you have cursors and loops in all these other SQL client languages. There are the occasion that you need to pull data from the SQL engine into the local language to perform some very funky and complex processing that is not possible using the SQL language.
    The danger is using client cursor loop processing as the norm - always pulling rows into the client language and crunching it there. This is not very performant. And pretty much impossible to scale. Developers in this case views the SQL language as a mere I/O interface for reading and writing rows. As they would use the standard file I/O read() and write() interface calls.
    Nothing could be further from the truth. SQL is a very advance and sophisticated data processing language. And it will always be faster than having to pull rows to a client language and process them there. However, SQL is not Turing complete. It is not the procedural type language that most other languages we use, are. For that reason there are things that we cannot do in SQL. And that should be the only reason for using the client language, like PL/SQL or the others, to perform row crunching using a client cursor loop.

  • Is there arrays or FOR loops in ABAP?

    Hi everyone!
    Is there an array and FOR loops in ABAP similar to the C Language?
    If there is, please give example. _
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    There is no array concept in ABAP but there are field-symbols which are same as pointers in C.As for the FOR loop there is no such command in SAP/ABAP but we do have the do..while and loop...endloop commands.There is also CASE statements and if..endif commands.
    Thanks,

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • How do I use the VIs for the Fluke Hydra Series 2620a multimeter?

    This message refers to the VIs found at this link:
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9468659CE034080020E74861
    How do I use the VIs for the Fluke Hydra Series 2620a multimeter? I am conducting a Senior Design Project at Temple University. It is a Control System where I need to read voltages from sensors and output voltages to different system components. I am trying to set up a VI using the VIs found above to make sure that I can successfully read and send voltages. There was no documentation given with the 2620a VIs.

    Unfortunately, you've got a very old driver for an old instrument. The only available help is to turn on Context Help and move your mouse over the VI icon. It doesn't appear to have any help for individual controls and indicators. The only good news is that it appears to be a simple instrument with only a few functions. There's some main ones line initialize (to set serial port), configure channel, configure instr, and read values. One main thing is whether you're using gpib or serial, Each front panel has a setting. If it's gpib, set the port to the gpib address. If it's serial, set the port to one number less than the com port you're connected to. For example, if you're using Com1, set the port to 0. For the other controls, I'm afraid that you're going to have to try and compare what's there with the controls and settings of the actual instrument. Having access to the instrument manual will be essential. I would engourage you to experiment a little. There's probably very little chance of damaging the instrument especially if nothing is hooked up to it. Send a command and see what happens or set the instrument up manually and see if you can reproduce that via remote control.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • How do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please

    how do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please. my version is 7.2.3 and my son did his drums on 4 tracks. 2 OH's 1 Kick and 1 Snare. Were confused because we cant figure out how to do parallel compression on the older logic version 7.2.3?

    I can't remember when the Aux tracks became the new buss tracks, so I'll spell this out using busses.
    The way I do it, is I assign all my drum tracks to a buss, say buss 1.
    Then, on buss 2, I assign it's INPUT to buss 1.
    So buss 1 (all the drums) are feeding into buss 2 simultaneously.
    Put a compressor on buss 2, turn the fader down all the way, then as the track is playing, bring buss 2's fader up slowly, until you hear the effect you're after.
    You could also do this using sends on the 4 drum tracks, set to feed the buss with the compressor on it.
    I hope I haven't forgotten anything particular to that version of Logic. See if this helps...

  • HT3354 how can i use one table for reference to another

    how can i use a table for a referance to another eg when i type a word in a cell, i will like it to match the word with another table then return the information in the cell i am using

    you can use vlookup() (or any of the lookup family of functions) to locate an item based on a key value:
    Here is an example of something you can do with two tables:
    The table on the right is title "Data" and stores a list of names with age and favorite color.
    The table on the left uses the value in the first column to lookup up information in the table Data
    in the table on the left:
    B2=IFERROR(A2&" is " & VLOOKUP(A2, Data :: A:D, 2, 0)&" years old and likes the color "& VLOOKUP(A2, Data :: A:D, 3, 0), "NOT FOUND")
    I know this look complicated.  so I'll break it up into smalled pieces:
    first the "&" is called the concatenate operator and joins two strings.  like this:
    a string is a set of characters between double quotes.
    so "string 1" & "string 2" becomes "string 1string2"  or "Sam " & "Jones" becomes "Sam Jones"
    you can use cell references instead of strings directly in which case the concatenation is performed on the contents of the cells.
    so if cell A1 contains "Hi " and the cell A2 contains "There"  then A1 & A2 will result in "Hi There"
    so you could add the formula
    A3=A1 & A2
    this is short hand for select cell A3 then type everything including the A3 so that A3 contains "=A1 & A2" (omit the double quote)
    OK.  So the formula I provided concatenates several items together:
    it concatenates A2, then the string " is " then a formula, then the string " years old and likes the color " then a formula
    the two formulas (highlighted in blue) perform a lookup of the value in cell A2 in columns A thru D of the table named "Data".  If if finds the value in cell A2 in the first column of the lookup range in the table Data (column A) then it returns the value from the same row but in the second or third column.
    all that is in a function calld iserror() to trap the condition where the calue you enter in A2 does not exist in the table Data:

  • How can I use jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed?

    How can I use <jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed?
    I have two tables. One is room (primary key is room(type is char)), another table is responsibility (foreign ker is room(type is char)). Both tables have same length for room column.
    There is a problem:
    If I use (in the "DataEditComponent.jsp" file)
    <jbo:InputSelect multiple="false" datasource="dsEdit" displaydatasource="roomData" displaydataitem="ROOM" displayvaluedataitem="ROOM" ></jbo:InputSelect>
    to get the room input for responsibility from combobox(Datasource roomData is from room table). In the form the room field cannot bind the data in combobox, alway select the first item. And if I select one item and click the update button.There is an error message:
    Error Message: JBO-27010: Attribute set with value H409 for Room in Responsibility has invalid precision/scale
    I found If I changed the field type from char to varchar2 in database also change the entity objects, it works well. I wonder if there are any diffrence using <jbo:InputSelect tag in char and varchar2 type. How can I use <jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed as i don't want to change my datatype in database at this stage.
    I try this in JDeveloper 9.03, 9.034, 9.04. The result is the same.

    If I were in your shoes, here's how I would do it:
    <%-- Assuming you have dsRoom and dsResponsibility --%>
    <%-- Select is an HTML tag --%>
    <select name="ROOM" size="1">
    <% char roomID =""; // Init your character var
    // Open a rowsetIterator to get the records and add them to the LOV
    <jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="dsResponsibility" changecurrentrow="true" >
    <% roomID = (char)dsResponsibility.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ROOM"); // Grab the char value
    // add the value to the LOV
    %>
    <option value="<%=roomID%>"><%=roomID%></option>
    </jbo:RowsetIterate>
    </select>
    If you are using this as part of an edit page you may want to utilize the "selected" option of the <option> tag. In one instance I am doing this on an edit page because the use may open an existing record. If I don't account for it, then it will change the DB to contain the first value from the list! You can do a simple check like:
    //Set the current record's char
    char curRecord = (char)rowEdit.getAttribute("ROOM");
    // inside the iterate:
    if (curRecord == roomID) {
    <option value="<%=roomID%>" selected><%=roomID%></option>
    } else {
    <option value="<%=roomID%>" ><%=roomID%></option>
    Hope that helps!
