I'm trying to build a function that finds max-value in array of numbers and returns index position of the value (in AS.3.0)I already have this.....but it is not helping me finding the index number.[code]

I have a combobox that displays a list of items from an array (we'll call this Array1). Of course, an item can be selected, and the user is displayed a small output describing the item that was selected.
I created another array that contains the URL for items in the above array, Array1. How can I get the index value of a selected item from Array1? Here is the code I used:

For example, if I selecte FontsForFlash, Flash outputs Fonts for Flash in the Output Window. How can I display the array position of Fonts for Flash instead of the name Fonts for Flash?
Is there any way of getting the current active index position from an array? As an example, something like this:

Is it possible to call a function to tell me if a var string is in my array. And if so, what position it is in?I pictured it to look something a little like this:
Code:
var pages:Array=['index','services','about','testimonials','contact'];
var pageName:String;
pageName="services";
[code]....
Say my array is ["apple", "orange", "cherry"].
Is there a way to search "orange" to find out what index# it is in the array?
myArray[find the index# of "orange"] which would result in "1"
("apple" being "0" and "cherry" being 2.)
So, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I need to load anywhere from 100 - 100,000 lines of data. Currently I am reading the data letter by letter which is taking Flash a god awful long time to load it.
Code:
///looop length of file
for (h=0; h<GWords.length; h++) {
///Slice each part of the Gcode
curr_word = GWords.slice(h, Number(h+1));
[Code]....
Example of how I bring it into the datagrid:
Code:
file_parsed.addItem({G:G_Value, F:F_Value, Y:Y_Value, X:X_Value, C:Comment_value});
The file is vector values that I take and draw it out after it is loaded.
Is there a better way to grab the a value between Letters to make things happen quicker?
I'm doing a flash menu for a site and am stuck with a bit of action script. Below is a link to the swf file. http:[url].........What I am after is for the white bar to follow the mouse when you are over the flash file y axis only (this works on the file), then when you take your mouse away from the file it returns to a specific position.The action I have so far is attached bellow.
onClipEvent (load) {
_y = 20;
speed = 3;[code]...
I am stuck with a string search
ActionScript Code:
var str:String = "this is better than what is better.";
var pattern:RegExp = /this.*better/gi;
var results:Array = str.match(pattern);
I want to search in a string from word1 to word2 and place all the results in an Array. So this should be accomplished using match().However the above code would return " this is better than what is better" while it should return "this is better". So the output takes the last match in the line, but I want it only to output till the first match in the line.
I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.

View 2 RepliesI 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 cannot seem to find a method for rounding my numbers in the following way:
53=50
55=60
58=60
I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...
I'm working on my website which is a portfolio site, to showcase my work I have a basic XML image gallery which does 1 of 3 things loads a large photo, goes to a frame with a video player, or goes to another frame with a gallery of web design or flash work i've done. when a thumb is clicked i trace the indexOf(event.target) of the thumbnail clicked (all thumbnails are placed into an array).
the problem is that for some reason randomly the index will not be found and return -1, but then other times it will find the correct index and work properly. i don't know what the inconstancy is thats causing this to occur
how to get the X and Y coordinates of a character in a string based on index? I find it odd that I can get the exact letter and index by clicking a character in a text field, but I haven't found anything in code that can get those coordinates without a user click. Seems like they would have to know the x,y of the individual indexs to be able to tell you what letter you're clicking based on your own mouse coordinates.

View 0 RepliesI have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a game with Flash CS5/AS 3.0 that tries to simulate depth of field by drawing all the relevant Movie Clips based on their Y position in ascending order, i.e. things lower on the stage overlap things higher on the stage. A MovieClip with a Y position of 10 would therefore need to have a lower index compared to a MovieClip with a Y position of 20, so the second one gets drawn on top of the first.
I wrote a quick and dirty function just to test this. During the trace, I've noticed that the truck's index hits 0 when I go near the top of the stage, but if I go too far up it will completely disappear from the stage. Trace then starts generating this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I have an array
Code:
var myArray = new Array("James", "Doug", "Alex", "Katie");
Now, based on a text input I'll have, the user will type his/her name. Let's say thew value will be "Alex". How can the variable "Alex" returns me the number 3? I'm trying to make a movie clip jump to an specific frame based on what the user will type. Doable?
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop(); //deck = array of Card
}
Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....
On the timeline, I set up an array with 'section' names. When the mouse is clicked, a listener traces the section name to output.
Code:
var pageName:Array = new Array();
pageName [0] = "newsHolder";
pageName [1] = "aboutHolder";
pageName [2] = "reelHolder";
pageName [3] = "printHolder";
[Code] .....
That works fine. But I also have a button on the stage:
Code:
on (release) {
trace ("testing "+pageName [0]);
}
But this returns "testing undefined".
