ActionScript 2.0 :: Jumping Alphabetically From One Item To Another In An Array?
Aug 24, 2006
In an alphabetically sorted array, I want to jump from one letter to another. So, when Im with a word beginning with a, I want to jump to the next item beginning with etc
Ive set up this simple script, which simply look at the first character of the current item, then loop in the (sorted) array until it finds a different first character It works very well hen descending! But when ascending, the script sees that there is character change but this is not the first item beginning with that letterbut the last one (since we are coming from bottom to top)
And of course I would like the script to give me the very first item beginning with a new letter.
(So, to summarize, I want to browse an array alphabetically, up & down, so that each time I press on the UP arrow key, I go up in the alphabet.and when I press the DOWN arrow key, I go down in the alphabet)

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?

i have a combobox with instance name fonts and this code on frame 1:
Code:
fontAr = new Array
fontAr = TextField.getFontList()
[Code].....
it simply populates the combobox with all the fonts on your system...
but it is not very user friendly....
it would appear it orders them in order of date, which were last installed/made....
but if i am to actually USE this it would actually have some use if it were alphabetical...
so my question is this:
how can i re-arrange an array in alphabetical order?

I'm generating an XML file within a class I'm writing. Let's say this was the starting XML:[code]I want to add additional <element>'s. The first order of sorting is by "type", then "x", then "y". So if I add a new "type" of <element>, let's say type "Text", I want Text to be inserted after any "Image" <element>'s.[code]The basic idea is to keep the list sorted as I add more <element>'s to each <container>.The numeric sorting is simple enough, but I can't figure out a clean way to sort alphabetically.The only thing I can think of is to get the types into an Array. Add the "new type", sort and call indexOf()... the number SHOULD be the current position I should insert before?

I want to sort items in the datagrid alphabetically by name.The order should be:
1) The name should first check for upeercase of the name if it is not then it should look for lowercase for the same letter alphabetically.
For example : if i have array of items say{Apple,boy,ant,Bat) then after sorting the list shld be
Apple
ant
Bat
boy

I didn't find any clear explanation how list in ComboBox could be sorted alphabetically. It's very annoying that this ComboBox takes data from array (label/data) in random order.

I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}

I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....
I know that I need some sort of removeChild() in there, but I cannot get it to actually work.

When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....

I have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?

var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

I have two two-dimensional arrays, and this line of code:
openListParents[compWith] = openList[olID];
Does it work? Yes. However, openListParents[compWith] becomes openList[olID], but I want openListParents[compWith] to be the value of openList[olID]. This is what I get when I press CTRL+ALT+V:
[Code].....
This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);

How do you specify a certain item to be removed from an array?I know how to remove an item of a certain position, for example:
array.splice(1,0)
BUT, if I have an array with the following items:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
and I want to remove the item "4" without referring to its position, is there a way to do this?

What I have: 2 buttons on stage (NEW_YORK and CHICAGO) which are given an onRelease function trough a forLoop (so far so good).
What I need: For those to buttons to trace their own array item when i press them.
The problem: If I summon the array item static (array[1]) it works, but when i try to make it dynamic (array[i]) it comes back as undefined.
I enclosed the .fla.[code]...

So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.
Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip
{
var deck:Array =
[Code]....
When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.

I'm generating an array from a string, then place the item to a text field.It works OK if there is no commas, if an item has commas, then the item is considered as multiple items. How can I have ?For example if the string is like the one below (with | as the delimiter):
C1_3_ans = "item 1|item 2|item 3, with some commas, here"
var errorSelected:Array = C1_3_ans.split("|");
errorSelected would be come [item 1,item 2,item 3, with some commas, here] instead of 3 items, it becomes 5 items.How can I keep the 3rd part of the text as one item?
