Something To Add To kirupa's Tutorials

talk random

Well i have been searching sites and there is very little sites that contain tutorials of arrays.

So I am hoping some really smart and genuis or someone who knows how to make arrays will please put a tutorial on this site.

i know how to make arrays!

arr = [];

done! now you can input elements like so:

arr[0]="blah";
arr[1]=5;

…oh yeah, watch your step, you may step on those little sites :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey BullDog - that’s a good idea; I actually started one and left it half-way complete about 3 or 4 months ago: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/array.htm It’s not finished yet, but it should provide you a basic introduction. I started this before I browsed through Colin Moock’s ASDG, and I realized that we both used fruits to explain arrays. I’ll be changing them to something else to keep some originality :slight_smile:

I might finish it up shortly.

Cheers!
Kirupa :stuck_out_tongue:

Since we’re talking of tuts, K man why not include a tut about event-base programming in Flash? Specifically about broadcasters and listeners. Finally touch it up with a “how to mae a component in Flash MX” tut. :slight_smile: Just a suggestion though!

thats a great idea! I stole some actionscript from a flash5 book that created a music player in flash. It used arays, but the book didn’t explain how it used them and i couldn’t work it out for the life of me!

I look forward to seeing the new tut’s :slight_smile:

Actually, Senocular has really good tutes about that subject, and I don’t think we could write something without ripping his tutes. And we don’t want that, do we? :sure:

Concerning the component tute, I was thinking about doing one some time ago, but it’s a HUGE work (and I suck big time at creating components :beam: ).

can anyone explain what a component is to me? I’ve never really understood…

me = stupid

A component tute is really the next step after learning about broadcasters and listeners. It really is a nice type of programming. I hope to find one here!

I know there is one tutorial on prototypes but it more explains it compared to functions.

A good tutorial on simple prototypes and functions and how to properly use them would be great.

I’m jsut getting into using them more and more and they kind of leave me baffeled

LOL

yeah! There should be a good tute that explains all those array.push and all those other actions too!
