I am doing a point registration system for an assignment, where there are 6 players, competeing in 3 competitions. My program has a layout where all textboxes for inputing the points they recieved are layed out in a grid. To be able to use the text in these boxes, I added them to an array.
Because my textfields are about 3 layers deep in several MovieClips, I made a variable named location
var plass:Object = = regHoved.regPoeng.innhold;
I then made an array, where I added each textbox by writing:
poengInputBokser[0] = new Array(plass.inputPng1Øvls1,plass.inputPng1Øvls2,plass.inputPng1Øvls3);
etc.
My problem is, flash will not let me use a "for each"loop or two normal "for" loops statement to add a .restrict.
The error I get is:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@292dfd59 to flash.text.TextField. at spillregistrerer_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
My code follows:
var plass:Object = regHoved.regPoeng.innhold;
//boksene for å legge inn poeng
var poengInputBokser:Array = new Array();
poengInputBokser[0] = new Array(plass.inputPng1Øvls1,plass.inputPng1Øvls2,plass.inputPng1Øvls3);
poengInputBokser[1] = new Array(plass.inputPng2Øvls1,plass.inputPng2Øvls2,plass.inputPng2Øvls3);
poengInputBokser[2] = new Array(plass.inputPng3Øvls1,plass.inputPng3Øvls2,plass.inputPng3Øvls3);
poengInputBokser[3] = new Array(plass.inputPng4Øvls1,plass.inputPng4Øvls2,plass.inputPng4Øvls3);
poengInputBokser[4] = new Array(plass.inputPng5Øvls1,plass.inputPng5Øvls2,plass.inputPng5Øvls3);
poengInputBokser[5] = new Array(plass.inputPng6Øvls1,plass.inputPng6Øvls2,plass.inputPng6Øvls3);
/*for each(var boks:TextField in poengInputBokser){
boks.restrict = "0-9";
//Denne Funker ikke! Vil gi error om at det ikke kan konverters
} */
So i did figure out a solution that took no changing, just adding a double loop!
for each(var boks:Array in poengInputBokser){
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++){
boks[teller].restrict = "0-9";
}
}
where the "boks" variable is each new array in my first array, then I just added a new loop inside, that goes into each textField in my array!
