I have a multidimensional array where the items have Date objects. I 've tried to use Array.sortOn(myDate) with no success. Do I have to convert the Date to a string (like 20070731) to use sortOn correctly?
View 1 RepliesI have an array which holds objects. The objects have properties called cat and title. The cat property can hold values like:
Cat 1
Cat 2
Cat 3
And the title property can hold values:
Title 1
Title 2
Title 3
So that you wind up with something that looks like
Cat 1
Title 1
Cat 1
Title 2
Cat 2
Title 3
etc.
Now, I want to sort these, but we all know that Array.sortOn(["cat", "title"]) will produce results like:
Cat 1
Cat 10
Cat 11
Cat 2
Cat 3
What's the most efficient method of sorting these properly (so the number component sorts like a number and not like a string)? I can request users pad their entries (yes, other people will be entering this data), but that's both a little bit ugly and not very user friendly.
I'm trying to do Array.sortOn on an array of custom-class objects. It's not working, though nothing in the documentation suggests that this is a problem. Below is the code. I'm confident the MetricRecord constructor is working fine because everything else works, and the traces below are correct, except they don't sort.
// This array sorts
metricRecords = new Array();
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"cca", temp:"asxcvbxcber"});
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"aaa", temp:"asdfertr"});

I created a script that will rotate a different ad every day, based on a comparison of the current date & the ads assigned day. The bug in the script is that the number of ads vs the number of days may be odd, so the last one or two ads will miss a (days) rotation every month. Is there a way I can get this to work so every ad hits its rotation.
var displayAdOne:Array=new Array;
var displayAdTwo:Array=new Array;
var displayAdThree:Array=new Array;

Obviously the two date objects are somehow subtly different, and that difference somehow gets overlooked when they're parsed out as strings, but how are they different?
I have to validate that 1) the end Date is not less than the start Date and 2) the difference between the two UTC Dates is not more than 12 months. To do this, I need a monthDifference function:
public static function monthDifference(start:Date, end:Date):int;
Since partial months can be confusing, this is how month differences are supposed to work:
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2010 is zero (0).
The month difference between January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010 is two (2).
How can I calculate month difference in ActionScript 3.0?
I am trying to compile some example actionscript code. In Flex (Flash Builder 4.6) I imported a project folder (happens to be the PurePDF examples). In a few places, I have yellow "?" icons when looking at the source files - though there are no warnings or errors showing up for them yet (I do have other errors I am addressing). This is an example - when I hover the "?" icon, I see access of undefined property getTime:
[Code]....
I cleaned up the errors I mentioned, and these yellow "?" marks still appear when viewing the code. There are no warnings or errors in the 'problems' window, but these question marks I describe are still there. Even if I close the file and clean the project and re-open the file.
Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).
I am working on an application that is near the end of its development cycle and has mostly passed user testing. We recently realized that having flex convert dates to the client's local timezone is not desired, as all of our dates are in EST and contain no time data. Since BlazeDS sends dates in UTC, this results in the dates being converted to the day before in timezones west of EST.
The best solution is to go in and refactor all dates to adjust for the timezone offset, but that is just not doable at this stage. Since all dates in our application don't care about time, I would really like to be able to intercept all Date objects that come across BlazeDS and adjust for the timezone offset.
I'm trying to sort some arrays with the sortOn() function in Flash CS3.. but it always seems to crash itself upon exporting!Do you guys get this too? And is there a way to get around this?

No matter how i sort the dataTag array it never puts the information into the respective order. The 10XXX figures always come ahead of the preceeding numerals. Anyone come across this before who can point me in the right direction?
I've used the sortOn function (dp.sortOn("cost");) to sort my dataprovider values based on cost. It works great until I get values over 100. Then it thinks that 250 < 50.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to sort an array that is generated thru an xml file.
The XML has "sections" that are used to generate a different view type, it is NOT used here but is needed for other features. What IS used is the artist name & ID. This function takes the data from XML and takes the name and ID from each section and puts it into 2 separate Arrays, "nameArr" and "noArr". After these two new arrays are created they are sent into an object "sectionData". The objects are then sent into a new Array "multiArr". This looks a little overkill but it is needed to create a new array without the section info.
I am trying to sort this new array multiArr using the "sortOn" method by "ID" to sort it by id but it is not working. It doesn't sort the array.
ActionScript Code:
public function setListData( data:Array ) {
var sectionData:Object = {};

Is there a way to use the sortOn() method of the Array class to sort an array of objects by a private property?I've tried using a getter function, but Flash didn't like it.It doesn't seem right to leave a property as public, but the sortOn() method is very handy -
View 4 RepliesI have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash.

the accent above the E in Édouard-Montpetit, and any other first letter with a non-english accent is sorted after Z.how i can sort this correctly? i do not have access to the named data.
I have an Array of objects that each have a Name and a Score. I can sort the Array with '.sortOn()' by the object's Name or the Score, but when I sort by the Score, if some Names have the same Score, they don't list Alphabetically within that Score.
The following code shows what I mean. The Names with a Score of 50 are together when listed by Score, but they are not Alphabetical. How do I combine both ways of sorting?

I get the feeling this problem is anything but complex, but I can't seem to pull it off.
I have an array that contains search results and looks like this:
array[x].id :Number
array[x].sectionID :Number
array[x].occur :Number
array[x].title :String
etc...
I want to sort it by sectionID ASC and occur DESC (occurances). What I read in the documentation is that I can sort on multiple fields like so:
array.sortOn(["sectionID", "occur"], options);
But I need to specify different options for each fieldName while it seems the function only allows for one set of options.
I have xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<articles>
<entry datumNum="20090420" date="20/4/2009" id="1">

[Code]....
I would like to sort xml nodes using attribute datumNum, but I can't get it to work. Don't know how to pass attribute to sortOn function before the for loop.
Note that there is maybe a error in xml parsing code here, because I tried to be as short as I can.
Code:
var vendor_arr:Array = new Array();
//vendor_arr.push(new Array());
var level1:Array = new Array("yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp");

var level3:Array = new Array(12,14,7,2,11,24);

Why is it not sorting on "bdistance" ?? its returning 2, 14, 7, 12, 11, 24... what kind of sorting is this??
I'm using the .sortOn() function in AS3.0 to sort an array with multiple elements.First, I push the values to the array, like this:[code] The program has a number of "loops" it goes through. So, I push data to this array (which is global) a first time, sort it, and then later I clear the array with the .shift() function in conjunction with a for loop. I then push new data to the array with the same line of code mentioned above.But what's happening is this: on the first round, everything works great, and this is what my output looks like:[code]Before I cleared the array with for loop and .shift(), it would say "Northern Alberta & Prairies" in ALL array slots. Since I started using the .shift() function I managed to get BC to remain, but it's still clearing my southern alberta entry.
View 2 RepliesI have an array of objects. The objects have a base class with various properties. Each time an object gets created, I push it into the array. However, I need to sort the objects based on one of their properties.Lets say in my object class, I have a function "ReturnNumber()" that returns a number, I want to sort my array based on which number was the highest. Can I use SortOn() to do this?
