Re: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Keith, Karl,
thanks, I have a clearer understanding now.
File structure; Frame labels on timeline order = mmPretzel,
3Musketeers_truffle, MilkyWay_Caramel, mmCO, mmCherry, Twix_java, VOTE, mmPB,
NASCAR.
Animations are setup to play to the end of one then bounce over to the next one
in the final array.
What I am trying to get on gotoAndPlay is mmPretzel and 3Musketeers_truffle
always play 1st and 2nd, then a random pick from the remaining 7 would play as
3rd, followed by the 4th item in the array and so forth.
My current trace statements =
trace(b) = mmCherry, mmPB,mmCO, MilkyWay_Caramel, VOTE, Twix_java, NASCAR.
trace(mOnemTwo) = mmPretzel, 3Musketeers_truffle, mmCherry, mmPB, mmCO,
MilkyWay_Caramel, VOTE, Twix_java, NASCAR.
play result = mmPretzel, 3Musketeers_truffle, MilkyWay_Caramel, mmCO, mmCherry,
Twix_java, VOTE, mmPB, NASCAR (original order on timeline)

Yes, Karl is correct. In my post 'index' is a variable of type Number which
you would increment upon successive calls to function goOn(). You access
elements of an array by using the array access operator '[]'. The indices of
arrays are zero based, so the index of the first element is 0, the index of
the second element is 1, the index of the third element is 2, and so on. You
can use the length property of an array to find out how many elements there
are in the array. In your case you have an array with 9 elements so you
would want to use index values between 0 and 8. Note that mOnemTwo.length
(9) is one higher than the highest index value you can use with this array
(8). The sample code below includes an if/else block to manage index values.
// initialize index
var index:Number = 0;
function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[index]);
// manage the index
if(index mOnemTwo.length - 1){
// increment index by one
index++;
}else{
// set index back to zero
index = 0;
}
};
I have to echo Karl's questions about how you are planning to make
subsequent calls to function goOn(). What you have, setTimeout(goOn,+8),
will kick off the first one (although I don't understand the '+8' in the
delay parameter) but what about the rest? Any suggestions I could make here
would be pure guesswork without knowing more about the structure of your
file.

RE: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Don,
Okay, if I understand you correctly, you could insert a keyframe at the end
of each animation which will allow you to place some code:
stop();
setTimeout(goOn,1000);// that's a one second delay
This will call the goOn function which in turn will direct the playhead to
each animation in the desired (randomized) order.
If you use the if/else block (from the code in my previous post) to manage
the index then the animations will repeat, continuously.

Re: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Hi Don,
How are the different animations playing?
Are you having them play to the end of one then bounce over to the
next one in your final array?
Or is a user clicking a button to send it to the frame to play and
the button is just dynamic?
In your function, you can only go play one frame at a time and not
all the frames at the same time, so you have to choose one.
EG: If I wanted to play the second item in the final array,
function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[1]);
};
setTimeout(goOn,+8);
I think Keith was using index as a reference to what index you
wanted, IE: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.. not the actual word index.

Keith,
added [index] to the function;
now have the following error:
1120:Access of undefined property index.
Wish I could wrap my head around this. Any thoughts?

You need to pass just one element of the mOnemTwo array rather
than the
entire array.
So:
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[index]);

Subject: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Have a file with 9 animations, each with a frame label on the
timeline
I've created 2 arrays, sorted the 2nd one and concat() the two
into a
third array.
I'm tracing all arrays and they are working as I'd like. Now I would
like to gotoAndPlay the final array.
Can this be done? See code below:
stop();
var mOne:Array = [mmPretzel, 3Musketeers_truffle];
var mTwo:Array = [MilkyWay_Caramel, mmCO, mmCherry,
Twix_java,
VOTE, mmPB, NASCAR];
function shuffle(mTwo,b):int {
var num : int = Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
return num;
}
var b:Array = mTwo.sort(shuffle);
trace(b);
var mOnemTwo:Array = mOne.concat(b);
trace(mOnemTwo);
/*function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo);
};
setTimeout(goOn,+8);
*/
When I uncomment the function, I get the following error.
mmCherry,mmPB,mmCO,MilkyWay_Caramel,VOTE,Twix_java,NASCAR
mmPretzel,
3Musketeers_truffle,mmCherry,mmPB,mmCO,MilkyWay_Caramel,VOTE,
Twix_java,NASCAR
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label
mmPretzel,
3Musketeers_truffle,mmCherry,mmPB,mmCO,MilkyWay_Caramel,VOTE,
Twix_java,NASCAR not found in scene Scene 1.

RE: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Don,
Yes, Karl is correct. In my post 'index' is a variable of type Number which
you would increment upon successive calls to function goOn(). You access
elements of an array by using the array access operator '[]'. The indices of
arrays are zero based, so the index of the first element is 0, the index of
the second element is 1, the index of the third element is 2, and so on. You
can use the length property of an array to find out how many elements there
are in the array. In your case you have an array with 9 elements so you
would want to use index values between 0 and 8. Note that mOnemTwo.length
(9) is one higher than the highest index value you can use with this array
(8). The sample code below includes an if/else block to manage index values.
// initialize index
var index:Number = 0;
function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[index]);
// manage the index
if(index mOnemTwo.length - 1){
// increment index by one
index++;
}else{
// set index back to zero
index = 0;
}
};
I have to echo Karl's questions about how you are planning to make
subsequent calls to function goOn(). What you have, setTimeout(goOn,+8),
will kick off the first one (although I don't understand the '+8' in the
delay parameter) but what about the rest? Any suggestions I could make here
would be pure guesswork without knowing more about the structure of your
file.
HTH
