ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Consecutive Array Elements?
Nov 7, 2009What's the most effective way to find a number of consecutive elements inside an array?
To give a really basic example, if one had:

What would be the best way to detect the three consecutive 1s?
I have been playing around with array.some() but it ain't really working out
ActionScript 2.0 :: Finding Values In Array - Searching Small Number Of Elements
Feb 3, 2006I just read the tutorial "Finding Values in an Array". Sure, the code works, but that's only because we are searching arrays the contain a small number of elements. Suppose we have n elements in an array. To search that array for a particular element we may have to do n comparisons. If the array we are searching contains 10 million elements, we have a problem; can you imagine doing "if (this == that)" 10 million times? There's got to be a better way to search the array. Or perhaps we shouldn't use arrays to store the information.

Nov 15, 2011I want to write a function which removes elements from an array of integers starting from the lowest values without changing the positions of the elements. Programming language is ActionScript3.

I know Array.NUMERIC and Array.DESCENDING would change the position of the elements, but I can't seem to figure out the logic on how to keep their positions.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Shift Array Elements Without Deleting The Elements?
Oct 1, 2009does 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
Flex :: Finding X,y Position Of A Datagrid / AdavancedDataGrid Row
Feb 27, 2010I have flex advancedDataGrid (could use dataGrid if that works better, though i like my meta-column headers), and i want to have a component popup on top of a selected row.
The problem is, i can figure out how to reference an actual rendered row of a datagrid (rather than an item of the dataprovider) in order to get its position on the screen.
how to access a "row" of a datagrid, or at least get its position?

Feb 25, 2012I'm often finding a need to get a stage-relative position of objects in my game, which are often buried several layers deep as children of children of children, etc, often with differently scaled/moved/rotated parents. The position i want isn't quite relative to the stage, but a main holder object i have on it called lvlHolder (see code below). I wrote a function to deal with it that recurses up the display list, accounting for each object as it goes, to get a global position. It's worked so far, but one thing it doesn't account for is rotation. I'm finding a need for that now, and i'm not sure how to account for rotation of objects, to rotate offsets from them,
My function is below. how i should enhance it to accomodate for the rotation of each parent object? Also any tips on optimisation would be good, as i'm using this a LOT (roughly twice per frame, per object, for physics calculations) I'm also wondering, in similar situations i've seen something related to transform matrices used

Mar 16, 2011If I am a subclass of an Array, how do I access an element?
class ArrayOfFoo extends Array
{
public function getFooAt(anIndex : int) : Foo
{
return this[anIndex] as Foo; // <---- looks for an object attribute (named "0", for example)
}
}
I could wrap an array instead of subclassing it, however lacking a universal IArray interface, that is less than useful for standard and custom functions expecting an Array.
ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Position Certain Elements At The Top, Bottom And Sides Of The Frame?
Aug 14, 2007I have a stand alone projector file that I am working with. I am trying to figure out how to position certain elements at the top, bottom and sides of the frame so that when the projector is viewed on different machines those elements will remain in the same position.
The file I am working with will be full screen and I have figured that part out. But I need to create a navbar for the top and another bar at the bottom of the screen. If you look at the drawingart site and you resize the browser all the elements stay the same size too. I need to achieve this effect as I am creating this file to work on all size screens.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding A Value In An Array
Dec 13, 2011This should be a simple one. I am running an IF statement that needs to check the 5th value in a pre-populated array. I'm finding it hard to find the right method of searching the array.

indexOf seems to just return where the value is...but I already know where it is! I just want to know WHAT it is! There will also be values that are exactly the same in other positions in the array. I have to focus in specifically on the 5th value.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Finding Any Value In Array?
Aug 26, 2005I am wondering if Flash has a built in way of finding if a value in an array exists. IndexOf only works with string values, but I couldn't find any function that tries to find a value of any data type in an array.
If there isn't one, I will just end up using this:
Code:
contains = function (array, input) {
for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] == input) {
return 1;
}
}
};
I am trying not to use my own functions for things that Flash already has built-in, so I just want to double check with you all in case I missed something

Flash - Finding All Series Within An Array?
Jan 2, 2011How do I find number of all the series (combinations of an array that have at least 3 consecutive values, like [7,8,9]) and have the longest number of values?
from [3,4,1,2,2] it would be 2 - ([1,2,3,4] twice, but ignore [1,2,3]*2 and [2,3,4]*2)
from [9,6,7,5,8] it would be 1 - ([5,6,7,8,9])
[Code]....
this will create an array ($ranks) that will have these values [2:2, 3:1, 4:1, 9:1]
from this I will be able to multiply the values under 2,3 ad4 4 and multiply them by 3, so I would get 2*1*1 * 3
how to find the consecutive values, and ignore ones that aren't (like the 9)
