Trails Animation
No commentsThis code was submitted to me via email who requested some assistance to get this trailing animation to be bound by any newly created object. I edited the code slightly and added a Rect class to build my rectangle object (which could be replaced by an image if so desired). I added a timer to [...]
Associative Arrays with the Object Class
No commentsTo create an associative in Actionscript 3 you will need to use the object class because of the named elements (vs. the numbered elements).
var assocArr:Object = {fName:”Morgan”, lName:”Newcomb”};
trace(assocArr.fName); // Output: Morgan
trace(assocArr["lName"]); // Output: Newcomb
To add an element, you can add this to your code
assocArr.mi = “A”;
trace(assocArr.mi); // Output: [...]
For Each Loop Construct
No commentsJust another way to read items in an array:
// Init the array
var myArr:Array = ["one", "two", "three"];
// Read the values of the array
for each ( var items:String in myArr ) {
trace( items );
}

Erasing All Items in an Array with Slice Method
No commentsBecause I occasionally build arrays with the push method, there was an occurrence where I need to wipe it out entirely. I was able to do so with the Slice Method. It is simply:
myArray.slice ( 0 );
The parameter of 0 will wipe out all items after the first element of your array. It will accept [...]
Identifying A Class Object with Mouse Click Event’s currentTarget
No commentsI have noticed that the currentTarget from a MouseEvent driven function will produce the respective object that has called such function.
I have a class that will reproduce X number (in this case 10) of objects (from the c.as file -> just circle renderings) - I just simply wanted to identify each object that is [...]
