increments for loop
Hopefully someone might be able to suggest something.
I have an array that create buttons, but I want to create a new row for every so many buttons. I’ve looked at resize(), but it’s going over my head. Currently…I manually say for 1-5 create row1, 6-10 create row2
I want to simplify it in a for loop. I know the below code isn’t right, but hopefully suggests what I want
for(var i=1, i
currently it looks like this, but I just want to make it look neater, plus if I add more to the array I don’t have to create a new row every time.
var b = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i <= 44; i++ ){
var f = File (file.name)
if(i <= 6){
b[i] = buttonsRow1a.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else if(i >= 7 && i <= 13){
b[i] = buttonsRow1b.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else if (i >= 14 && i <= 20){
b[i] = buttonsRow1c.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else if(i >= 21 && i <= 27){
b[i] = buttonsRow1d.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else if(i >= 28 && i <= 34){
b[i] = buttonsRow1e.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else if(i >= 35 && i <= 41){
b[i] = buttonsRow1f.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});
}else{
b[i] = buttonsRow1g.add (“iconbutton”, undefined, f, {style: “toolbutton”});}

don’t know what happened there . Must have caught delete on a portion of the code. This is the kinda thing I want to do
for(var i=1, i
-
for(var i=1, i<b.length, i++){
var j = for every increment of 5, increment by 1 (so if 1-5 = 1. if 6-10 = 2);
if( i = increments of 5){
b[i] = row[j].add ("iconbutton", undefined, f, {style: "toolbutton"});
});
} -
I’m nearly there, but I’m struggling to pass the j
var b = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i <= 2; i++ ){
var f = File (file.name)
var j = Math.round(i/5)+1;
b[i] = buttonsRow[j].add ("iconbutton", undefined,f, {style:"toolbutton"});

This is a bit neater to my original, but I still would rather have it as a few lines, but I can’t get it to work.
var b = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i <= 15; i++ ){
var f = File ("/Volumes/Server/Video/CAPi RenderBot Source/Logos/"+folder1[i].name);
if(Math.floor([i]/5) == 0){
b[i] = buttonsRow0.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f, {style: "toolbutton"});
}else if(Math.floor([i]/5) == 1){
b[i] = buttonsRow1.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f, {style: "toolbutton"});
}else if(Math.floor([i]/5) == 2){
b[i] = buttonsRow2.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f, {style: "toolbutton"});
}

That was not fun, but if anyone is building a script to contain multiple rows. Here’s how to do it.
I can’t be bothered tidying up further as I’ve already shaved 12 lines and it’ll now work for more and more row.
var b = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i <= 15; i++ ){
var f = File (folder1[i].name);
var str = "buttonsRow" + (Math.floor(i/5));
var n = eval(str);
b[i] = n.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f, {style: "toolbutton"});
}
