I have a function that finds the smallest five numbers out of an array of values and returns their index numbers. Here's a block of code from that function[code]...
The whole thing is slow, but I imagine that indexOf() is probably the worst offender. Is there any more efficient way to correlate a series of minimum values with their indexes without having to use indexOf()?
The values don't necessarily have to be stored in _elements, but they're pulled from a multidimensional array so I figure that it's the most efficient I can get at the moment.
I have one input text field. I need to be able to split the sentence that is entered and have the first half of the sentence in dynamic text Field_A and the second half in Field_B.
I have been looking at textField.wordWrap and .split but can't get it to work. Anyone got any simple sloutions? I'm still learning AS 3.0.

Currently we are extending the website for a coffee retailer. The whole page is in Flash and content is supplied by external XML-Files. However, the company expanded to Israel and therefore we are working on a hebrew version of the page (different charset and right-to-left).

I want to be able to do the following:
Type out a sentence and then highlight one of the words in the sentence and create a link to go to another frame.
The only other way which is time consuming (Especially with possibly hundreds of sentences) is to create each word as a button and then fit each word as a sentence together.
surely there is an easier way?
It will be the basis of an Elearning course for kids to click on a word in a sentence and based on their choice they go to a Correct or Wrong frame.
Captivate cannot do this unfortunately.
Ive been having trouble with this and I want to put this in a game. Like here's what I plan.you put your name in on input and on the next frame theres a sentence like "Hello (NAME), How are you doing?"
View 2 RepliesI have box mc and a textbox called "test" and I have a sentence in there saying trace("word")
how would I make the sentence become the function when box clicked? Like when box clicked it traces since the sentence has the code... like for example ...
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, try)
function try(event:Event)
{
var newString:String=test.text
}
is it the function that has to be changed (text:String)?? Id like the textbox to contain/execute the code not "hardcoded".

how to make a pre-made sentence appear when a button is clicked? Can this be done with AS2? I need a button that when clicked will display a sentence at random.
The way I have it in mind is to make a movie clip with say 10 different sentences on 10 different frames marked with labels (Sentence1, Sentence2, etc.) and each time the button is clicked, it will pick a random frame label thereby displaying the sentence on that frame. I just need to know the actionscript to link to the button.
is there a way to split up a sentence say 30 characters each into there own variables. I've seen this done before. --sum up take in a variable and give out a few other variables, each 30 character cut ups of the first var. (note: i have a sweet rpg with like every code possibly imagined and a engine thats almost done this is my only draw back i have a metheod right now but i dont like the system i have made to insert data into boxs and you hit space to get info. like a "a" button for a GB game. This will allow me to write an entire sentence.)

View 1 RepliesI have a list object and I'm adding items to it with addItem through the dataProvider.Before adding an item to the list I want to make sure it's not a duplicate. I've tried using indexOf on the dataProvider and it returns null. I've tried casting it to an array and it works, but always returns -1 even if the element exists in the dataProvider.The only method I've been able to use seems a little hacky and I'd like to know if there is a better way to find an element in a dataProvider.

I'm trying to serach for the following string "Type/Pages" in long external files and am using the follwoing code which works: indexOf("Type/Pages");
However, sometimes it appears in the file as "Type /Pages" - with the extra space
As the files can be VERY long, I don't want to search twice - is there anyway to search with or without the space?
I've tried all sorts of cominations with s* but to no avail
Does anyone know if using indexOf is faster than using a for loop?

I'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.
