Arrays In Flash need some assistance
Hello
I am new to flash and would like some assistance with arrays. Here is my question. How can read incoming data to button text. See example.
incomming data is
&ButtonName1 = "FirstButton Title"
&ButtonName2 = "Second"
&ButtonName2 = "Third"
Flash code
long way
resultLV.onLoad = function() {
button1_txt.text = resultLV.ButtonName1;
button2_txt.text = resultLV.ButtonName2;
button3_txt.text = resultLV.ButtonName3;
}
short way not sure how to do this
var buttonname:array = array();
resultLV.onLoad = function() {
for (index=1;index<4;index++){
buttonname.text[index] = resultLV.ButtonName+index;
}
how can I load incomming data to button instance names?

Code:
var buttonname:Array = [button1_txt, button2_txt, button3_txt, button4_txt];
resultLV.onLoad = function() {
for (var i = 0; i<buttonname.length; i++) {
buttonname[i].text = resultLV["ButtonName"+(i+1)];
}
}

Hello
Thank you so much this was very helpful.
However I have questions...
should it not be:
resultLV.["ButtonName"+(i+1)]
or
resultLV[".ButtonName"+(i+1)]
where does the dot go?
normally it would be
resultLV.ButtonName1
secondly should the array elements be in quotes?
var buttonname:Array = ["button1_txt", "button2_txt", "button3_txt", "button4_txt"];
and should the .test be in quotes?
buttonname[i]+".text" =
Just asking cuz I am working on this and the code as presented it is not working.
Again thanks again this is at least getting me to think in the right direction.
I greatly appreciate your response to my question.

He is using what is called array notation and it doesn't use a dot. This lets you refer to the properties of an object without triggering a compile error.
code: object.someProperty
refers to the same object as
code: object["someProperty"]

I do have one more additional question concerning arrays.
Can you have a multi element array?
var myarray: new array();
myarray[0][0] = "row zero column zero";
myarray[0][1] = "row zero column one";
myarray[1][1] = "row one column zero";
myarray[1][1] = "row one column one";
etc;
or is it;
myarray[0],[0] = "row zero column zero";
myarray[0],[1] = "row zero column one";
myarray[1],[1] = "row one column zero";
myarray[1],[1] = "row one column one";

Your first example.
myArray[0][0] = "something";
Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

First of all thanks to everyone that has taken the time to read and reply to my silly questions as I muddle through learning arrays I have some code that is not working as I expected too and would love some assistance.
I am trying to assign instance names to a double indexed array then assign values to the text property of the instance name.
code below
var Buttons:Array = new Array(7);
for (row=0; row<7; row++){
buttton[row] = new Array(3);
buttton[row][0] = "button"+(row+1)+"_txt";
buttton[row][1] = "button"+(row+1)+"a_txt";
buttton[row][2] = "button"+(row+1)+"b_txt";
};
for(row=0; row<6; row++) {
buttton[row][0].text = resultLV["button"+(row+1)];
buttton[row][1].text = resultLV["button"+(row+1)+"a"];
buttton[row][2].text = resultLV["button"+(row+1)+"b"];
};
button[0][0].text = "this is a test";
The above code results in a blank text box
button1_txt.text = "other";
The above code I see the word other inside the text box
temp_txt.text = button[0][0];
This is temp text box to display the value inside button [0][0] and it displays the following "button1_txt";
Incoming data is
&button1 = "1 row 1 column button"
&button1a = "1 row 2 column button"
&button1b = "1 row 3 column button"
&button2 = "2 row 1 column button"
&button2a = "2 row 2 column button"
&button2b = "2 row 3 column button"
&button3 = "3 row 1 column button"
&button3a = "3 row 2 column button"
&button3b = "3 row 3 column button"
etc
My text boxes are blank and don't populate.
What am I doing wrong here?
Again thanks for your help and consideration...

Please use the code formatting tags so your code is formatted.
First off, this is just creating an array of arrays. The inner arrays (e.g., buttton[0][0]) is a string, not a button.
PHP Code:
for (row=0; row<7; row++){ buttton[row] = new Array(3); buttton[row][0] = "button"+(row+1)+"_txt"; // a string buttton[row][1] = "button"+(row+1)+"a_txt"; // a string buttton[row][2] = "button"+(row+1)+"b_txt"; // a string };
Second, you've got 3 t's in the word buttton.
Third, your defined an array "Buttons" with a capital B and plural is never referenced again.
