ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Sorting On Child Property

Sep 20, 2009

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?

Flash :: Sorting An Array So That 3 Types Of Objects Are Evenly Distributed Throughout The Array?

Oct 17, 2011

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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting Vector Of Objects Based On Property (Numeric)

Jan 9, 2010

What I want is to sort a Vector array of objects(not primitive), based on a propery(Number). (think character.zDepth). Generally the same thing as the sortOn function of Arrays, except that we don't have that for Vectors.
like myArray.sortOn(x, Array.NUMERIC)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array Based On Another Array?

Apr 10, 2012

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array Of MC's By X/y?

Mar 23, 2010

- 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).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sorting An Array Using SortOn

Feb 17, 2009

I 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 = {};

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array Which May Contain Nulls

Aug 11, 2009

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sorting Multidimensional Array?

May 25, 2004

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.

JavaScript :: Sorting Array Of Items (with X / Y Properties)

Nov 13, 2011

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array When Click On The Different Buttons?

Apr 15, 2010

I have 3 buttons on the stage, and I want to make it so when you click on the different buttons it changes how the array is sorted. The buttons change position on the screen when they are pushed, so I was trying to build my code based on their positions. Not sure if that is the best way to do it. I have the array coming from an xml. This is my first time dealing with xmls and I am new to AS3 and flash, so please excuse the sloppy code. This is the part of the code I am having trouble with. It does the "else" statement fine, but won't change with the buttons.

I need a sort function that will read data from an array and sort it by the date - first to last. The date format is (03.11.01) which seems to make it a bit more complex to sort.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sorting Array With Multiple Fields?

Sep 25, 2004

I 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]....
