Nov 1, 2003I have a Array. I dont know how large the array is. How can I get index of the smallest number in the array? I know array contains only numbers.

[Code]...
I am trying to trace an index number from an array.
I know this must be about as simple as it gets, but I just cant figure it out.
I know the contents of the array are all asighned a number begining with 0.
I need to find out the index number of a thumbnail when you click on it.
Code:
function whenThumbsLoad(event:Event):void{
var thisThumbsLink:String = clipPathList[ c ];
var thisThumbsTitle:String = clipTitleList[ c ];
[Code].....
I know I can trace the thisThumbsLink and get that, but all I need is it's index number. Also I trace(c); and I get how many there are, but I just don't know what to trace to find the index number.
i used a for loop to addChild of a class object(movieclip) to the stage and at the end line of for loop after addChild i push it into an array and i add eventlistener to it , such as
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 9; i++) {
.....
clip = new CLIP;
......
[Code]....
and if i want to get the array number which currently accessing how can i do that ? for example, i drag one of the mc class from the array which has already added eventlistener above.
how can i get the number of the array which im accessing ? evt.target..... etc ?
The Action script code below takes the strings in the array (pgtit) and creates a dynamic navigation bar I am trying to trace the index number of the array being click I just seem to get -1.
var pgtit:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var xPos = 0;
var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild(menuHolder);
[code]....
For instance:
PHP Code:
my_Array = new Array();
my_Array.push("one", "two", "three", "four")
Here's the catch: another variable (for instance) called "three" is loaded. I want to look up "three" in my_Array and retrieve the index-number (should be 2 of course). How can I accomplish that?
Say you have a class Parent, which has a property childArray:Array. In this array, we will register several instances of the class Child. Is there an easy way for a child to know which position in the array it currently has? I know I could just pass the index number into the child as I register them, but if a child were to be deleted from the array, all children past the deleted childs index would need to have their indexes updatedl. While this is of course not a huge task, I just have this feeling it should be a better and more dynamic solution.

Code:

shoprubriken[0] = "43";
shoprubriken[1] = "44";

Now I wanted to check on which Index Position maybe the 47 is
How can I archive this on a Button or Function?
I'm trying to get the 255 smallest numbers from an array made up of all the alpha values in a given BitmapData, and storing these numbers in the Alpha array for paletteMap().We all know how to get the smallest/highest number from an array, or to delete repeating numbers or even to average numbers inside an array. I've been tweaking for 2 days with these possibilities but unfortunately I can't find anything satisfactory.
View 1 RepliesSo, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
[code]I want to input a number and find a match for the number, returning the values on the row in to specific fields for each number. For example, if I input the number 10 in an input field, I want the number 1.2276, 0.00100, 106.38 and the rest of that row to output these values I have seen so many options, don't know where to start.
View 2 RepliesI have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

trace(mc.getChildAt(0)) = display the object at the index 0 lets say the output is [object] button
now I want to reverse it..
when i click the object button

I have a ComboBox, with it prepopulated with the States.When I have a variable that says it should be pre-selected to for example CA, how do I do that, without haveing to figure out the index number for every single state?
View 3 RepliesThis is my first AS3 post, I have recently taken the step from AS2. I am displaying an image from an XMLList using event.target.name. I need to access it's index number in the list to set to a variable.Here is the code:

I'm trying to create a shuffle button for my mp3 player. I don't want it to repeat any song in the xml playlist until all the songs are played. Is there to display a random number on the click of a button, without repeating any number in the array until all the numbers in the array are used?
View 9 RepliesIs there a way to get the index of an array?
For instance, if I have an array:
buttons = Array("abc","def","ghi");
If I wanted to get the index dynamically of the string "ghi", could I do that with a certain function or piece of code?
I thought that there was a way to be able to name array indexes. Like instead of myArray[0], it could be myArray["tileFour"]. I thought that instead of using index numbers one could use index words.

I have a game map made of tiles, each tile is stored in an array called _tiles.The very each tile has a "plantable" parameter, which determines whether or not something can be placed on it.Then i loop through the array and check the position of each its elements against the mosue cursor, so I know which tile am I hovering with my mouse.
And it works pretty good. The problem is that even though I know what is the position of the tile I'm having the cursor on, I still lack the knowledge of what index is that tile. I simply can't tell where exactly in the array is placed this tile. I just know its position. The reason why I want to know the index of it, is because it's the only way for me to set a proper flag, namely whether it's plantable or not. Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
for(var j:int = 0; j < _tiles.length; j++)
{

Is there a way I could specify the index of a array using this short code:[code]How would I go about giving a custom index name instead of it being myArray[0]? I could do it the long way like posted below, but I was wondering the there was a way to shorten this:[code]

i have a text field called names which displays index 1 of the array.
and i have a button,when the button is pressed i want it to go to the next index of the array.

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined.I use a for-each loop to access all the elements of the array that is not undefined (since it simply skips the undefined elements).But I also want the index of that particular element.The only option I can see is to use indexOf(). But it feels a bit like looking for water on the other side of the river so to speak.
When looping through long arrays each frame, is there a change indexOf() might slow it down? or does the for-each loop somehow know what index it's dealing with?
I am working with a set of external XML data, and putting it into arrays. I have set up images and text on a page using XML data, which, when clicked on, will populate a popup window with XML data from the same index. For some reason, when I trace the index of the array, it comes up as -1.
stop();
itemNameTops1_txt.text = nme_array[0];
itemPriceTops1_txt.text = price_array[0];

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?
I am creating a row which have 8 thumbnails in it, I save these in a array, When user drag row right to left then first Movieclip shift to last position, then i splice array 0 index and push to last position.. it works fine but when i drag it left to right then I need to cut last index of array and i need to push on first position, but it is overwrite the last value of array and after push the value(myrow[0]=thumb) array showing it's length 7 before it was 8. What is the right way to push value at 0 index value
