View 1 RepliesI have an array that gets filled with values from a database and I want to sort things in Flash using the sortOn() function. I'm trying to create an array with a number of fields, like this example from the Help-files:
Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array.push({password: "Bob", age:29});[code]....
I need a bit more fields and if I put all of these in one line, it gets kinda lengthy.I tried something like
Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
my_array.push ( {prop1: "value_1_"+i} );[code]....
but this apparently doesn't work. Is there another way of doing this?
I'm new to actionscript but have some basic programming skills. I've downloaded some code that finds and displays fields from an attribute table of a feature, from my limited knowledge it seems to be adding this data into an array collection, the problem is I need the data fields to be displayed in alphabetical order, or in the order they are originally stored. I tried to use the sort function to order the array but can't get it to work.
The source code is below:

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code].....
This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.
I need to sort an arraycollection. the problem is that my array is combined from two diffrent arrays, in one the age field is called "AGE", and in the other the age is called "MYAGE".
Now I need to sort the combined array according to age but I got two fields with diffrent names. I can go through the array and change all "MYAGE" to "AGE" but i was wondering if theres maybe a way to sort the array in its current status?
iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z
i got an existing array, main[y], which after an equation, will come out with another array.
Code:
if (main[y] === topicList.getValue()){
subTopic = [];
subTopic = fTitle[y]
trace(subTopic)
}
However, i could not sort the subTopic, as it gkeep giving me undefined. Is there any way to sort this subTopic, such that they are in alphabetical orders?
how to reorder an array based on the information contained in another array. What my script is currently doing is detecting all the attached monitors I have and then ordering them based on their left bounds. However I then want to reorder the screens location in the array based on whether the user has selected that display or not. If the user has selected it, by clicking a button, the button movie clip will be on frame two, if they haven't been chosen it will be on frame one. So what I am doing is then creating two separate arrays, chosen screens and not chosen screens, and then combining them into one.
Code:
if(displayButton.currentFrame==displayButton.totalFrames)
{
//sort the chosen ones into an array
[Code]....
My problem now is being able to reorder a separate array which contains all the screens, called screenArray, based off of that. screenArray currently returns [Object Screen], [Object Screen], [Object Screen], etc... and is in the order of 1,2,3,4,5,6. How do I take then and get it to be equal to the order of my displayButtonsChosen Array of 1,3,5,2,4,6?
Trying 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 just have another really quick question about Arrays, this time about Sorting them. I have just re- written my code to work for matching values from 2 arrays and then adding them to the screen.
however it seems as my matching is way off, it matches the items that are at the same index, which is not always the case
The output for the matches, which should be side by sideis as follows (which is incorrect) Therfore i am trying to find values at diffrent index levels

I tried to sort the Array, but it seems as though the array, cannot be sorted the way i want it. I simply wanted to sort it Acending, but changing it to lowecase would not do what i needed it to do.
This is the code, matchInfo function should do all the work

have a twodimensional array that consists of 6 other arrays(like array[0 to 5][0 to 4]). The [4] of each sub-array is a indexnumber that i'd like to use for sorting the array[0][x] toarray[5][x] according to their array[x][4]-value. How would I do
View 3 RepliesHow would I do to sort this array by the largest sum and not just the first number?
var myArray:Array = new Array(100, 200, 9);
myArray.sort(Array.DESCENDING)
//puts out (9, 200, 100)
How would I do to get it (200, 100, 9)?
I'm trying to sort an array of objects with ActionScript 3.
The array is like this:
var arr:Array = new Array ();
arr.push ({name:"John", date:"20080324", message:"Hi"});
arr.push ({name:"Susan", date:"20090528", message:"hello"});
can I do something with Array.sort(...) method?
How can i accomplish sorting an array according to two values. Is there built in function for that?
View 2 RepliesI am loading data from an xml file into several different arrays. Once its all information is in the arrays I then sort one of the arrays (called percentage) numerically from highest to lowest. What I can't figure out is how to reflect the changes in position in the other arrays to what has happened in the percentage array.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to sort an array that is generated thru an xml file.
The XML has "sections" that are used to generate a different view type, it is NOT used here but is needed for other features. What IS used is the artist name & ID. This function takes the data from XML and takes the name and ID from each section and puts it into 2 separate Arrays, "nameArr" and "noArr". After these two new arrays are created they are sent into an object "sectionData". The objects are then sent into a new Array "multiArr". This looks a little overkill but it is needed to create a new array without the section info.
I am trying to sort this new array multiArr using the "sortOn" method by "ID" to sort it by id but it is not working. It doesn't sort the array.
ActionScript Code:
public function setListData( data:Array ) {
var sectionData:Object = {};

I'm using Insertion sort on a partially sorted array:
ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<productArray.length;i++)
{
var val:Product = productArray[i];
[Code].....
The problem is that since products are removed from time to time, my array may contain null references for some indexes. Thus the above algorithm will throw an error in runtime.
Usually I'd just do a quick check i.e.
if(productArray[i] != null)
and I'd be fine, but in this case I'm constantly checking properties in the while loop and I'm not really sure how to go about doing this.
I want this to be sorted by first name only: "John Smith 18", "Charlotte Smith 59", "Chris Doe 26", "Tony Jordan 100", "Charlotte Roberts 17", "Imad Hanna 26", "Charlotte Smith 13"
I can get it sort sort alphabetically just by using .sort(), but it takes into account the last name as well.
I am creating a visual map in flash of my database bookings table. I have my xml loaded into AS3 and I think that the next stage is to sort the data by the room numbers and place the data into separate arrays, how do I approach this?

I have an array of objects (the first member of each object is a string which records the object's name) The other members of the objects contain various numerical information. I need to sort each category of information and display the names next to their related information in correct numerical order:
ie. AName 4235
AnotherOne 3962
OneMore 1576
Can anyone suggest some code which would do this? I checked out .sort and .onSort, built in methods of array but I can't get my head round it.There are thirteen objects in my array. The fourth element (population) needs to be sorted.

I have a function inside a class that will basically sort an array by the first elements first sub-element (ie. [0][x]) and return the second sub element based on that information. I am having the hardest time getting it to work. Partially because I feel that it is inside a class. Also I feel like it sorts the sub elements individually whereas I would need to keep the sub-element pairs together. Here is some of the code.

I have a multidimensional array that looks like this:[code]what I am trying to do is sort the mc.names into order based on what the value of Tracker[mc.name][0] is. (if that makes sense)I am looking at the : SampleArray.sortOn("0",Array.NUMERIC); but it doesnt seem to work as I had hoped, so im not sure if im doing something wrong or just not understanding how it works etc.I just need the mc.name's to be reordered into the numerical order from the numbers in the[0] and keep the right mc.name with the numbers.

How would I go about sorting an array of nested arrays, based on the contents of one of the nested arrays elements?

Each item in the array in on the stage, each with an x/y position. The item in the top left most position should be items[0]. X should be the primary. Originally I was thinking along the lines of:
var items = [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6];
items.sort(sortMe);
function sortMe(a, b) {
return (b.position[0] - a.position[0]) && (b.position[1] - a.position[1]);
}
But this does not yield the correct results.
What (if any) is the correct way to access a property within an array of objects to sort upon. for example:
mySprite = new Sprite();
mySprite_child1 = new Sprite();
mySprite_child2 = new Sprite();
[Code]....
How would I get to mySprite.mySprite_child1.x (or any of mySprite_child1 properties) as the sort variable?
