Is it possible to get flash to sort in alphabetical order the content of a XML file? In this case what I wanted was a way to get flash to sort the content through the "<name>" child content. Basically I want it to use the name to sort the entries alphabeticaly.[code]

I have an array with names of people randomly selected varying from 10-1000 names into a single array. I was wondering if anyone can point in the right direction on making the array alphabetical order so when I create a drop down box they come out alphabetize
View 2 RepliesWhile coding, I wondered if a plugin exists that I could highlight a series of variable declarations, hit some special keyboard shortcut and BAM! They would appear in alphabetical order.Is there anything that does this in Flash Builder? Or FlashDevelop even?So it would go from this:
private var _value:Number;
private var _helloWorld:String;
private var _foobar:Boolean;
To this:
private var _foobar:Boolean;
private var _helloWorld:String;
private var _value:Number;

View 1 RepliesI'm not quite sure how to do this - I'm building an admin interface to sort the order of a series of flash slides into a dynamic presentation. The admin interface pulls the slides from xml and displays each as a thumbnail. The thumbnails, when dragged, reorder themselves in the array appropriately. The problem is, I want the actual array of slides to reorganize itself accordingly. My code is this:
function onThumbPress( e:MouseEvent ):void {
e.target.startDrag();
} function onThumbRelease( e:MouseEvent ):void {
e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
sortSlides();
[Code] .....
So what I want to do is take the change in the array (say 0 moves in front of 1 in project_thumbs_array) - and make sure that my other array (project_clips_array) moves item 0 in front of 1 as well. I thought something like this might work but it doesn't:
project_clips_array.sortOn ('project_thumbs_array.x',Array.NUMERIC);

View 0 RepliesI am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?

View 1 RepliesI have a one comboBox that I fill as:
for (var key:String in values) {
conns.addItem(key);
}
After that I sorted my ComboBox as:
private function sortConnection():void {
var dataSortField:SortField = new SortField();
dataSortField.name = "data";
dataSortField.numeric = true;
var numericDataSort:Sort = new Sort();
numericDataSort.fields = [dataSortField];
conns.sort = numericDataSort;
conns.refresh();
}
And on finish I want to select item on my specific value in ComboBox. How can I do that? I try:
for (var ii:Number=0; ii<combo.rowCount; ii++) {
var item:String = combo.getChildAt(ii);
if (item == name) {
index = ii;
}}
But does not work. I do not know where I made mistake, and how I can select on specific item in my combobox.

View 6 RepliesTrying to re-sort an array of objects from:
var arr:Array = new Array({num:0},{num:1},{num:2},{num:3})
to
var arr:Array = ({num:0},{num:3},{num:1},{num:2})
- Put a bunch of MC's on the stage distributed horizontally.
- Store them in an array.
- yourArray.sortOn("x", Array.DESCENDING)
- loop though the now "sorted" array and trace their x property.
Doesn't work, does it? If it did, shuffle them up and try again (sometimes, perhaps randomly they will be in order).
I'm trying to bring XML nodes into an array so I can sort them in alphabetical order, then display the data in some textfields in a movieclip.I've managed to get the XML displaying fine in the movieclips and all the data in the arrays, but the problem is I'm not sure where to use name.sort();. Right now you can see I have it at the start of the loop that places all the data in, but it will only sort as it populates and hence becomes pointless.Is there a way to add all the data into an array, sort it, THEN display all the data in my movieClips?My XML looks like this:

In the project I'm working on, there are towers the user can place. However, it you place a tower higher then another one, it appears infront of that one, which looks weird.I want to be able to arrange all the towers so that that does not happen.There is an sprite called towerHolder holding, which all the towers are children of, and an array called towerArray, which the towers get pushed to when they are created.I tried clearing towerHolder, then running the sortOn() function on the array, and then adding each tower back to the towerHolder, but the towers just seem to be randomly placing themselves irrelevent to their height.Here's my code for the relevant parts:

function clearTowers():void { while (towerHolder.numChildren > 0) { towerHolder.removeChildAt(0); }}function orderTowers():void { clearTowers();
