Got Drag and Drop up for moving from player items to furniture array. Drag and drop is just so dull... for those of you wondering why its basically just positioning x y coordinates and then finessing them. Time consuming and then there was a number odd bugs that popped up the one I still don't get is the cleaner array not working.
My normal code for cleaning array (just change the name of the array):
//cleans the furnitureImageArray
function roomFurnitureClean(){
for (var i:Number = 0; i < furnitureImageArray.length; i++) {
if (furnitureImageArray.length != 0) {
removeChild(furnitureImageArray[i]);
furnitureImageArray.splice(0,1);
i = -1;
}
}
}
now the furniture array is actually made up of possible nulls and objects.
Example [object furnitureHousePlant],,,,[object furnitureBed],,,,[object furniturepiano]
So I modified to:
//cleans the furnitureImageArray
function roomFurnitureClean(){
for (var i:Number = 0; i < furnitureImageArray.length; i++) {
if (furnitureImageArray.length != 0) {
if (furnitureImageArray[i] != null {
removeChild(furnitureImageArray[i]);
}
furnitureImageArray.splice(0,1);
i = -1;
}
}
}
Which should have fixed it but for some reason it would never delete the last object and instead of crash and I still don't know why. But if you don't know why just use a different method my fix.
//cleans the furnitureImageArray
function roomFurnitureClean(){
var total:int = new int(0);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < furnitureImageArray.length; i++) {
if (furnitureImageArray.length != 0) {
if (furnitureArray[total] != -1) {
removeChild(furnitureImageArray[i]);
}
furnitureImageArray.splice(0,1);
i = -1;
total++;
}
}
}
That's right I'm totaling the spot from the array that actually holds what each furniture is. But I have no idea why that was necessary... oh well it works.
Add that to another bug that was just pure stupidity on my part but took forever to find and that was how I spent my new years eve.
Happy New Year.
