way to find the highest number in an array? umbersArr(314,2613,221,103,77);is there a way to loop though this, compare all the numbers to each other and find the highest value while keeping the array in order?
View 14 Repliesok so in actionscript using xml I can find all the nodes of the same name using
xmlList.descendants("nodename");
and that returns me a XMLlist of those nodes that exist within the xmlList I provided all well and good but now I want to only get the one node of the returned value that has the largest value.
Do I have to loop through the resulting nodes or can I get that node without a loop maybe some other xmllist function I'm not aware of ?
I have a number of boxes on screen - each box is a rectangular movieclip, and they fall to the bottom of the screen where they pile up to make a stack of boxes. I'm using box2d for the physics. Oh, and each box may be rotated. I need to find the highest point - ie the smallest y value, of the stack of boxes.
Obviously I can find the position of the highest box's registration point easily (which is the centre of each box) - but that may not be the highest point of the pile of boxes. The highest point may not even be the highest box - it could be a lower box that is rotated on end, for example.
How would I go about returning which object in an has the highest (numerically) of a particular variable? The variables are randomly generated.

I have an array of image width values pulled from XML. I want to simply look at the array and return a value that is equal to the highest number in the array. e.g. the array might end up like array [250,600,350,375]and I just want something that returns the highest value (in this case the 600).

I have an array of objects, I separately have a reference to one of the objects in this array (in particular, the object dispatched an event and its reference is the event target, which is what I have). How do I find this object in the array and remove it from the array?
View 3 RepliesI have a big array which contains words and sentences. I want to find certain specific words to replace with other words. I know about the string replace(), but from what I can understand, that only works with strings. I'm looking for something similar to the str_replace function in PHP where you can search both arrays and strings, and change words in them. Does something like that exist in actionscript 3, or do I have to build some kind of loop myself, to loop through the entire array, and use the string repace() on every single string in the array?

i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example:

how can i get it to show only the number of apples in the array?

View 1 Repliesin my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)
Code:
for(z=1;z<=_root.howmany;z++)
trace(array_name[z]._x);
}
it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
(like; _root.moive1, _root.mave2,etc)
but when i try to access it, it doesn't work? what am i doign wrong and/or what should i do?

View 7 RepliesI'm working on a project where I have an array of coordinate points (4 of them) and a menu system that, when clicked, rearranges the boxes so that they all move around. The problem is that the values I pull out of the array are not always unique so some of the items end up not moving (or sometimes it ends up moving two to the same spot because the last one didn't move and one of them moved to a spot that is already occupied).
Here is the code I was using which for the most part works, except as mentioned, sometimes the check for the last one in the loop sees that the conditional is not equal so it doesn't do anything because there is no other values to loop through and it just leaves it in that spot.
Code:
private function checkCoordinates($item:MenuItem, $coords:Array):Void
{
var numItems:Number = $coords.length;

Essentially I need the MC to know whereabouts in the Array it is
Say you pick a movieclip at random, and assign in a function, how do you find out what number in the Array it is and remove it from the array?
For example...
Code:
for(a=0; a<arrayInQuestion.length; a++) {
if(arrayInQuestion[a]!=this) {
if(dist>50) {
[Code]....
But of course, "this" doesn't work, so I need to find out what number "this" is
Of course, it would be easy to remove the MC that I am checking "this" for distance with, it would just be splicing array[a], but it's "this" that I am just not sure how to splice.
If I have more than one movieclip in an array is it possible to find the movieclips index in the array? Like myMovieclip.parent[3]??
View 1 Repliesgiven an arrayA = [a, b, c] and
arrayB = [a1,a2,a3]
by using array[0].name, it will return "a", is there any function that i can get the number "0" when i do something to "a" ?
I hope i make it clear here Xp
because i have 2 array here, i wanted to do something when the position of an element in an arrayA is same as the position of another element in arrayB.
for example
trace(array[0].name); -> output = A
trace(array[0].?????); -> output = 0
How do I find an object's index in an array
I have an array of objects similar to[code]...
After chatting with my coworkers, they have suggested I enumerate this into a large array of indexed values with references to which index they are associated with, for instance [code]...
i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers:
a[1] = 4
a[2] = 3
a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?
