ActionScript 1/2 :: Search Data From An Array?
Jun 16, 2010
You see, I would like to make a login page that retrieves the username and password from a text file. All login information is stored in an array, which looks like this:& Users =::: Name1 | username1 | passwords1 |::: Name2 | username2 | passwords2 |::: Name3 | username3 | passwords3 |I want to find in my arrayif the user is authorized. If it is authorized, I would like to send the name (Name1, for example) into a text box. How do I do?

Long story short: I want to search a multidimensional array in AS3 for (in this example) the location of 6 strings - all of which are stored in another unrelared array. Long story long: Once I get the locations (in the multidimensional array) of each string, i then know where it's located, and can access other atributes of that object - so if i found the string "box3" is located in element [5] of my multidimensional array, i can now target: multiArray[5][3] to return the 4th item stored (keeping in mind we're starting from 0, so 3 is the 4th position).
I can get this to work once, but I'm trying to set up a for loop based on the length of my basic string storage array - this array holds (in this example) 6 instance name strings - each time my for loop loops, i need to run a search in my multdimensional array for the next consecutive instance name. Then, once I've located all of them (and store the results in a new temporary array) I can dig around in each location for the info I need.

How should I go about creating a search function that will be able to search and retrieve a particular nod from the array.Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.

Alright, so within my final swf I need to have a function that searches, but not searches the internet (such as integrating a google or bing search). It will be searching though data that I have already collected. My data is in the form of CSV (comma separated values). I already load in the csv and all that jazz, no problem (using url loader). I put the data into an array. I can conduct the search in a few ways and I was wondering what everyone in the forum thought would be the best way. The data also gets attached as parameters to objects that I put on the stage, if that matters.It must return all things in the array that match the string typed in the search, and not just the first match it finds.

So i need to search through a multidimensional array.. here is an example of what the user will see when searching the array
First name:
Last name:
grade:
now what i wana do is make it so the user can search through the multi/array with the first name to find the last name and grade that goes along with it... here is my failed attempt.
ActionScript Code:
var dataArray = new Array(new Array(), new Array(), new Array());
var tempArray = new Array();
var eMode = null;

i have a variable 'val' and 5 arrays 'roomNums1' - 'roomNums5' i want a script to search one of those arrays ... i can get it to search one array but i can't get it to search the array with the name 'roomNums+val'
so if val = 2
i want it to search roomNums2
at the moment I'm just telling it to trace the array that I want (for testing purposes) and the script reads:
trace (roomNums[val]);
but that takes the 3rd value in the array and traces it if val = 2
i'm not sure how to add the value of the variable val onto the end of the array's name so the correct one will be traced

I'm trying to detect multiple elements in an array. My countTicks:Array contains mostly numbers and below you can see I'm using "logical AND" to try and find them.
The problem is, once I have more than 2 "logical ANDs" (&&) the trace gets called. Which it shouldn't because the array wouldn't yet hold those numbers.
PHP Code:
countTicks = function(){
for (var i = 0; i < tickCount.length; i++){
if (tickCount[i] == 1&&2&&4&&5){

How would I go about making a search function that can locate an array of buttons?
The buttons direct to movieclips. The purpose is to have a search field in the flash project to help find specific movieclips (the buttons that direct to them, anyway) based on criteria using arrays. I am using Flash8, but have access to CS4 if necessary.

I am populating an array employees (shown at the bottom) with data from a MySQL database table. To locate employees that statisfy a complex criteria, I am using a loop like so:
var emplyees:Array = new Array();
var i:int;var counter:int=0;for (i=0;i<employees.length;i++){
if((employees[i].city=="London")&&(employees[i].age<30)){ counter=+; }}if(counter==0){ trace("No such emplyees")}else{ trace("Found "+counter+" employees.")}"
It works fine, but I think it is cumbersome and potentially slow with large amounts of data. Is there a better way of doing this?

I have a standard array with some text items and some numbers.
Here is an array item
ge: 65, (no quotes around this number)
Here is the DataProvider line (the section that applies to my example)
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: 65}]);
Here is the search line
for (var n; int = 0; n<arrayname.length; n++
arrayname[n]. Age == search_age.selectedItem.data
This works fine because the array number MATCHES the selectedItem data number (65) exactly and I get all records where age is 65
BUT I want to find records whose age is any number "greater than 60"
I have tried many ways to use the > sign and keep getting an error, example:
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >60}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: (>60)}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >(60}]);
None of these work.
Maybe these aren't numbers? I've tried putting 'int' in various positions with no results. I'm using a DataGrid which works fine for text items and will find numbers without quotes around them (if those numbers match whats in the array!).
What's the way to write this so I can get records greater than, or less than, etc.?

Premesis:I am using actionscript with two arraycollection containing object with value to be matched...Let's assume I have two list of elements A and B (no duplicate values) and I need to compare them and remove all the elements present in both, so at the end I should have
in A all the elements that are in A but not in B
in B all the elements that are in B but not in A
now I do something like that:
for (var i:int = 0 ; i < a.length ;)
{
var isFound:Boolean = false;[code].....
I cycle both the array and if I found a match I remove the items from both of the array (and don't increase the loop value so the for cycle progress in a correct way).I was wondering if (and i'm sure there is) there is a better (and less CPU consuming) way to do it...

I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}

I have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:
groceries = ["bananas", "apples", "apples", "oranges"];
I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?

how to deal with unsorted arrays to get the next higher or next smaller value?
var _myArray:Array = (1,pizza,2,6,8,test,11,16,17,cola)
_myArray.splice(4,1) // > remove number 8 !
trace(_myArray) // > array contains now: (1,pizza,2,6,test,11,16,17,cola)
how can i get the next higher value (= 11) ?

I am currently in the process of making an image gallery at university over the period of the semester. Eventually it will be able to search through flikr and pull thumbnails from there but for now we are just getting the fundamentals working. Last weeks task was to have the int amount of thumbnails show up depending on the number u placed in the search field.
So in other words i type in 3 in the search field, and 3 placeholder images show up. The problem is having to remove them from the stage and the array so that when u type in 2 or 1 after having typed 3, that it erases the last search results from the array and the stage. This is my code below which half works. It will place however many images you tell it to, but will not erase them next time u press search.
