ActionScript 2.0 :: "User Function"-Type Sorting Available?
Aug 11, 2006
as always, I only drop by when *I* have a problem... I'm such a selfish bastard (is it allowed to even say "bastard" on here?) Anyways. I know that (in PHP) there's a way to use user-created functions to sort an Array (usort & uksort) by custom comparisons- you pass the Array and the name of your function and it uses your own function to "re-organize" the array.
Is something like that also available / possible in Actionscript? Or do I have to write my own function where it loops through the array entries and writes them into a new array? I need it relatively quick so setting up my own might take too long. The setup is pretty much this (just in case you're interested):

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.
So for example:
Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
[code]...
when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.

Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i]
currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];
[code]...
So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.

I am trying to sort big array using actionscript 3. The problem is that i have to use custom sorting function which is painfully slow and leads to flash plugin crash.

I'm trying to create a custom sort function. This function will sort the pegs in a certain row by their row number (0: lowest -- numRows - 1: highest)For context, here is Adobe's description for the Array sort method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Array.html#sort()
My array-building function:
Code:
public function getPegsInRow(row:int):Array
{
var pegRowArray:Array = new Array()
for(var i:int = 0; i < pegArray.length; i++)
[code]....
Unfortunately, the array does not get sorted correctly.

I have this fla file... 40 frames to be exact, each frame is a movie clip with AS3 code for a fade transition. I implemented to auto play with delay of 10 seconds on each frame, then next frame and so on. I also have implemented the next and prev button (next frame, prev Frame) and the arrow keys on keyboard function.
Now I need help on sorting out the play/pause function on the button (play>pause button) I did a code, it pause on the the frame when i click pause, but the as code on the mc clip on the frame proceeds and when i press the play button, it plays at current frame, but plays fast straight to the last frame.

I extended the DataGridColumn because I wanted to include a custom itemToLabel function (to be able to show nested data in the DataGrid. See this question.
Anyways, it also needs a custom sorting function. So I have written the sorting function like so:
private function mySortCompareFunction(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int{
var currentData1:Object = obj1;
var currentData2:Object = obj2;
[Code].....
Whenever I try to sort the column, I get the error "Error: Find criteria must contain at least one sort field value."
When I debug and step through each step, I see that the first few times, the function is being called correctly, but towards the end, this error occurs.

I need the enemies to move around the obstacles on screen. I have tried several methods but it seems to screw up other functions in my game... For example the depth sorting function starts messing up (sortchildren()). I think its because i'm such an amateur.

I want to modify the Flex 3 TextInput control to accept a tab character as valid input (The app allows the user to enter an arbitrary delimiter string for file output formatting, and tab is a common use case). However, clearly in the default implementation the tab key changes the form focus away from the selected control.

I'm creating a "Tea/Benefits Chart" that allows the user to search for a type of tea and find out what problems it can cure, or search for a problem and find out what types of tea assist with it. For this I've created 2 arrays - arrTea and arrBenefits - to store a list of the possible types of tea and benefits a user can find.
Code:
PHP Code:
var arrTea:Array = Array("lemongrass", "chamomile");var arrBenefits:Array = Array("anxiety", "cramps", "indigestion", "PMS");
For example, if the user searched for "chamomile" the Chart might return "anxiety" and "indigestion". If they searched for "cramps" the Chart returns "lemongrass".

I have a number of functions and I want to execute 1 based on the entries in a .xml file
part my xml file reads as follows
<funcType>thisFunc</funcType>
In my .fla I have defined thisFunc along with a number of similar functions
I want to execute the function as follows
chosenFunc=Node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;//points to thisFunc in the .xml file
chosenFunc(); // This should execute as thisFunc ()
Problem is this doesn't seem to be working. Am I trying the impossible?
