AS3-将数组从自定义类传递到Main.as

Question

I'm trying to get my array from a custom class so I can use on my main.as file.

Here is what I'm working with.

Main.as:

function searchPrize(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var searched_number:Pcnsearch = new Pcnsearch();
    searched_number.searchNum(pcn.text,'fueltest',this.stage);

    // trying to get the array "CReturn from custom class to trace out
    var number_arr:Array = new Array(searched_number.returnSearch());
    trace(number_arr.fName);
}

Custom Class: (snippet)

public var cReturn:Array = new Array();

public function loader_completed(e:Event)
{
    var person:URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
    this.cReturn.pcn = person.one;
    this.cReturn.fName = person.five;
    this.cReturn.lName = person.six;
}


public function returnSearch()
{
    return cReturn;
}

what am I doing wrong that is causing me to not return the array into my main.as file?

any help would be great, Thanks,

Answer 1

Your problem is that you assign a new Array() on number_arr with the array from the class as a parameter. This means that it will return an array with your array inside of it. So you're accessing it wrong.

Any parameters passed to new Array() will be elements in the newly created array. What you can do is instead just use number_arr:Array = searched_number.returnSeach()

Other than that everything else looks fine and you should have no problem accessing the array returned by your class.

Answer 2

The cReturn is not being populated before it is being returned.

The steps it takes are:

1. public function searchNum (searches database for requested info)
2. public function returnSearch (returns database results in an array named cReturn)
3. public function loader_complete (loads the database information into the cReturn array)

What I want it to do is:

1. public function searchNum (searches database for requested info) **2. public function loader_complete (loads the database information into the cReturn array)
2. public function returnSearch (returns database results in an array named cReturn)**

I will have to use a dispatchEvent inside my loader_complete method (Pcnsearch.as class) with an eventListener inside my main.as script.

Thanks for the help.
