ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Position Of String In Array?
Apr 16, 2005
figure out how I can get the position of a string inside an array.For instance,myArray["hello", "goodbye", "sayonara"];myString = "goodbye";Whats the simplest way to get the index in myArray that myString occupies (ie. 1)? Something like the string-method indexOf() but for arrays

Slice seems to disregard any <br> and/or newlines. IE, when I slice() a string from a certain position, and transfer the sliced string to a new dyn. text box, all enters etc get lost; all text appears on one line.

when i run get lastIndexof for an array I get returned the the size of the array instead of the position here is the code:[code]but instead of returning the last index of it before the current index, it returns the current index (or jus the array length). help!!! it is my first time using lastIndexOf so I am probably using it incorrectly.ps this does not include some of the function run (i know i am passing a value which it does not look like i am using, but i know that part of the code works)

I have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.

I have a string of 0:'000000' named stringtest I need to replace the 0 at the position x with 1. My code in flixel(a free library to create games)
Code: Select allif (FlxG.keys.justPressed("X"))
{
stringtest=stringtest.replace(stringtest.substring(1,2), '1');
}
it doesn;t replace the second 0 with 1., but it replaces the first one. However if the initial sting is 'let's go' if I press x the letter e is replaced with 1. if the string is 'eet's go' if i press x the first e is replaced with 1 and if i press x again the second letter e is replaced.

Okay, what I want is kinda hard to explain, so bear with me.If I have an array:Code:myPets = ["cat", "dog", "bird", "fish"];Now, is there any AS that can use the value of say "dog", and return the position that "dog" is in the array, I know this seems a bit stupid and dog is obviously myPets[1], but when I'm creating arrays on the fly it becomes slightly harder.

I notice that about 4 times through out, who ever coded it used letters in addition to numbers in an arrays position.
Code:
risksArray["r"+element.@riskCode] = whatever;
but throughout the whole thing, he always refers to the array positions the same way.. so I can't figure out why he would possibly just add an r to the beginning like that.How does that work? Why would someone do it?

1. let's say I have an array full of mcs, is there a fast way of knowing the position of mc_b in that array without looping through it every time?
2. also, is there a fast way of swapping the position of two elements in an array without splitting it and re-sticking the parts?

So I've got a button that spawns a block and when pressed spawns another to the right of that block, if pressed again the process repeats. These blocks are all placed into an Array. When the user click on the blocks, they are removed.I would like the blocks to track their position in the Array so I can splice out the value on click and all the other "building spots" will move to their Array position * building spot width, so when a block is cut out, the others all move a long and remove that space.Since Arrays aren't my strong point, I wish to see what you think would be the best option here. Now keep in mind I am not a Flash Pro, so the way I have coded may not be the best, but I like to think I try Here is the code currently:

I have a combobox that displays a list of items from an array (we'll call this Array1). Of course, an item can be selected, and the user is displayed a small output describing the item that was selected.
I created another array that contains the URL for items in the above array, Array1. How can I get the index value of a selected item from Array1? Here is the code I used:
[Code]...
For example, if I selecte FontsForFlash, Flash outputs Fonts for Flash in the Output Window. How can I display the array position of Fonts for Flash instead of the name Fonts for Flash?

I've creating a drag and drop card game in AS 2.0 and need to set the cards randomly in set positions every time the game is played. no two cards can be in the same space, so the taken position needs to be taken out of the array.I am not concerned about the Y value just X . I think this needs to be an array containing the positions. then using slice to remove the value from the array. I'm not sure how to assigned the array position to the movie clip.

I am creating a container. When I press a button outside the container it adds a movieclip. The movieclip is the width of the container but only a fraction of the height.
I need to know how to get it so every time I press the button it adds the movieclip after the last one, almost like appending a list. Does anyone know how I would do this?Do I use an array or does flash have some sort of table feature?

I've got an array (called "thearray") that I've just sorted alphabetically using thearray.sort.I then wanted to check if a certain item (myItem) was in the array, so I did a loop:
for (var w=0; w<thearray.length; w++){
if (thearray[w]==myItem) trace("this item has been found in the array")
Now, I want to know if it's possible to return the new position number of the item in the array - ie finding the element number of myItem (as in arrayelement[0], arrayelement[1], arrayelement[2]-- the number in the [ ].)

I 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.
