Determining the movieclip assigned to a variable in an array AS3
Please forgive my terminology, Im not educated on the proper.
Lets say I have multiple movieclip variables
var rblock1:MovieClip = new Rblock();
var rblock2:MovieClip = new Rblock();
var rblock3:MovieClip = new Rblock();
var yblock1:MovieClip = new Yblock();
var yblock2:MovieClip = new Yblock();
var yblock3:MovieClip = new Yblock();
I have them added to an array
var blockarray:Array = new Array(rblock1, rblock2, rblock3, yblock1, yblock2, yblock3);
var block
I want to create a for loop with an if statement that triggers if a variable is Rblock and not Yblock, for example
for each (block in blockarray)
{
if (block==Rblock)
{
trace("rblock");
}
}
The issue is that obviously "if (block==Rblock)" doesnt work.
How should this be written?

no im not trying to declare the clip, im trying to declare the class, the class is Rblock, the clip is rblock

To check if an instance belongs to a class you use if (block is Rblock) statement.

You apparently want to check if a block is red or yellow by checking against its class name. You can do it with this:
if (block is Rblock) {...} // yes, red

I have figured out a work around not really a perfect solution, which will only work for certain scenarios...
if each class has a unique trait you can identify it that way, for example...
if all variables defined by the Rblock class are wider than the Yblock class you could say
if (block.width>x) { trace(Rblock); }
Like I said this is only a work around though and only works for movieclip variables defined by classes that are different, if anyone has the actual solution please post

There are traits, namely class names, or also a common name of a superclass, you can perform checks against class name withif (block is Rblock)(in fact you check if this block is eitherRblockor a descendant ofRblockthis way, but normally you only check against a leaf class, so this is irrelevant).
