I have created an object and I need to sort its elements. Is this possible?[code]...
I was able to do what I wanted by turning my object into an array and then sort, but my arrays gets pretty large and is regenerated often.
There appears to be a problem with the sort function when sorting the array contains several elements that are equal. I tried to illustrate this in the simplest form below:

Make an array with some objects, let's say something like this[code]...

Code:

carsArray.push({car:"mazda", year:1982, options:{price:15000, rating:"C"}});

I want to sort an array that contains object references. I want to sort on one of the values held by the objects.
I have the following sample code, say:
Code:
ActionScript:abc = new Array();
abc[0] = new Object();
abc[0].anotherObj = new Object();

I've been trying to sort objects depths based on their Y position but have not been able to do it efficiently. I was able to successfully sort objects with a selection sort algorithm and a quick sort algorithm; however, both have only been partly successful. Selection sort gets about 8-10/30 FPS with 13 objects and gets about 14-18/30 FPS. This is not good enough as I figure I could have as many as a hundred objects to be sorted at once.
After digging around, I found that array.sort() is more efficient than a quick sort implemented in AS3 and that calling swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() at every swap was bogging it down. So now I am copying the objects array and sorting it with sort() and then comparing the two and swapping displayObjects so as only to call the swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() method once per element. It appears to be running, and at full speed, though it won't swap correctly. Here is my code:
[Code]...
The code doesn't work.
The getChildIndex and setChildIndex methods give error because cont[i] is not child of my object.
which is the fastest way to reorder depth of the objects ?
Code:
container.rotationY= container.rotationY + (mouseX-width/2)/100;
for (var i:uint=0; i<container.numChildren; i++) {
cont[i]=container.getChildAt(i);
[Code].....
I'm trying to sort MCs on stage that belong to different instances of different objects.
[Code]...
is there a simple way to use the Depth Management methods to control their sorting order? Right now, all I know how to do is place objectTypeB either in front of or behind all members of objectTypeA.
Example:
var arr_1:Array = new Array();
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-02",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-03",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-04",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-05",status:"New"});
How can I change element number 3 status to: "Old", without removing it. Just update the status value??
If I'm attempting to create a file that takes information a user inputs using input fields,save them, and then load them again later after the file has been opened and an option selected, what sort of things would I need to most research? I know there's something called sharedObject I need to research. What else? I've been searching Google, but I'm not finding anything covering this particular aspect.

I need help with page "Thumbs" (as first frame), page "List" (as second frame) and Image gallery (as third and base). So, every frame have one own XML file...When you choose some thumb or list line, you must came to this image in the gallery. Easy, sure.. but i don't know what Function exactly i need to use.It's one flash move, hence it doesn't work with getURL or loadMovie...Some exemple with 3 separate pages here: yuri.fr
View 1 RepliesDoes one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?
I'm working right now on a map generator. I stumbled on a very annoying problem. I'm using the for loop to add the map elements on the stage. But when the "forest" area begins to be to thick all trees begin to overlap.
View 1 RepliesI am using an SWC library so that I could use the fl.controls.TextArea in my project in FlashDevelop. While working on an unrelated section of my code I noticed that all my TextArea objects had turned extremely blurry (both the text and the UI elements). I'm not sure when this started, but when I first added and setup the TextArea I spent a lot of time tweaking and configuring it and didn't have any issues with the sharpness of the object.

Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?

Please take a look at the following site for an example. [URL] When you click on seconds in the menu below, it opens a pop-up window that sort the videos in a certain way.

When I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();
[code].....
Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
When i create a menu, the dropdowns go behind the flash element. But in some sites, like Digg, it is shown above. z-index is of no use
View 2 RepliesI made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.
View 2 RepliesI have a couple different arrays holding my xml information. I want to make it so when one of the buttons is pushed(and moved) the information is resorts the information in the arrays. I can get it to sort anyway I like, but as soon as I apply an "if" statement, it just sits there and does nothing. I have also tried putting it into a function with so success.[code]

View 7 RepliesI have an XML list that I need to sometimes sort manually, is that possible?So I have a main navigation system of tabs, (All Projects, Web Sites, Logos and Presentations)When the user clicks a tab say "Logos" on the main navigation system it filters the XML pages to show just the projects that have say Logos.Then the user selects one project and sees the details for that project, a large image with sub nav on the left built from the XML you see down below.This works.What I would like to do now is change the order that my XML buttons appear in the sub nav depending on what main nav tab they have clicked.Say they click "logos" I want the logo links will appear before the web site links.[code]

I need to sort String items in an Array. Actually I need to organize children of a MOvieClip inside an Array.
I have a "menu" mc object which has 8 children with names "m1", "m2", and so on..... the last one is "m8" . They are NOT created dynamically.
the children are even organized in layers alphabetically.
i've already tried:
Code:
//for each (var item:MovieClip in menu)
//{

How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes array and use Array.sort.
