Why is Flash doing array operations wrongly.


Its was runnning fine and then it through me this error

1125 Error #: 117 index is beyond the scope of 115.

It doesn't list a row number but the function below is the only place where a long array is referred to. The error means its trying to access between end of the vector array- It shouldn't be possible.

Relevant code parts (the rest-public functions and other functions not include all work fine).

Solution

  • I'm assuming it's throwing the error intermittently. The reason I think it's happening is that you stored long array's length in listLength, but didn't decrement its value after

    kanaList.splice(row,1); 
    valueList.splice(row,1); 
    

    which is why, I think, row value calculated like

    row = int(Math.random() * listLength);
    

    would sometimes return a value which is greater than array's length at that iteration.

    On a sidenote, it'd be great to have what all was traced till the point you got the error. Also, the exception should show stack trace, if you compile a debug version of swf and run it in a debug flash player. The stack trace is very very useful to track down bugs like these.
