ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash SortOn Messing Up Arrays
Feb 24, 2011
I'm using the .sortOn() function in AS3.0 to sort an array with multiple elements.First, I push the values to the array, like this:[code] The program has a number of "loops" it goes through. So, I push data to this array (which is global) a first time, sort it, and then later I clear the array with the .shift() function in conjunction with a for loop. I then push new data to the array with the same line of code mentioned above.But what's happening is this: on the first round, everything works great, and this is what my output looks like:[code]Before I cleared the array with for loop and .shift(), it would say "Northern Alberta & Prairies" in ALL array slots. Since I started using the .shift() function I managed to get BC to remain, but it's still clearing my southern alberta entry.

hello everybody. I have a very weird problem. Recently my Flash IDE started to mess up dimensions. I mean when I create a new document or a rectangle for example, even if I set the height and width to the same value the height is always bigger than the width... I tried re-installing Flash CS4 again but that didn't solve the problem...

I have an array of objects. The objects have a base class with various properties. Each time an object gets created, I push it into the array. However, I need to sort the objects based on one of their properties.Lets say in my object class, I have a function "ReturnNumber()" that returns a number, I want to sort my array based on which number was the highest. Can I use SortOn() to do this?

I'm trying to replace some contents in a website by using the following code:[code]The problem is that I have some flash embedded on the DOM and whenever I try to do the replacement the browser crashes.Somebody should thing that a prepend or append in the right place should be a better method
to achieve this, but the elements I'm trying to locate and replace are html comments and the append prepend methods do not seem to work with this kind of nodes so they have to be treated as literal strings.

I'm working on a AS3 and Box2D game with moving platforms. The platforms are animated in Flash, and in actionscript I can read in their current position and adjust the physics bodies to match.However, there's always a delay, where the animation is one frame ahead of the physics. I wanted to fix this by reading in the clip's current position, storing it for later, and then putting the clip back to its position at the last frame.
But when I do this, it systematically refuses to budge. I coded up a simple test with a single moving box to test the idea, and I get the same problem ("movingBox" is a symbol that animates a single "box" symbol within it):
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].............

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I'm developing an AIR app using CS3. I had previously made one AIR app without much problems. So I start a new file and fill out the AIR settings (found under Commands). But the damn thing keeps screwing up settings. Some stay saved, some don't. It also keeps wanting to keep 2 files for inclusion that don't exist and are not even named correctly.
And now, after trying to fix some of the naming, it won't even create an AIR app anymore. It says there's a missing SWF file, but I published first, multiple times and yet, it doesn't see the swf.

I have a flash banner rotater and I have little squares at the bottom that are dynamically created which represent the slides in the banner, for example: if there are 4 slides in the banner there will be 4 little squares. Each little square is a button and if you click on a square it will take you to the slide that it represents. My problem is this: When I try to add numbers to each little square by dynamically creating a TextField then the text overlays the square so the button doesn't work.

I am having trouble with unload an loading movies. Basically I am loading a movie into a container, which works a charm[code]...
Ideally I would like to add that second movie clip into a container so I can position it correctly, but when I try copying the code I use on the first it doesn't seem to work...is it to do with the "root" bit perhaps?

I've used the sortOn function (dp.sortOn("cost");) to sort my dataprovider values based on cost. It works great until I get values over 100. Then it thinks that 250 < 50.

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 = {};

Is there a way to use the sortOn() method of the Array class to sort an array of objects by a private property?I've tried using a getter function, but Flash didn't like it.It doesn't seem right to leave a property as public, but the sortOn() method is very handy -

I have a multidimensional array where the items have Date objects. I 've tried to use Array.sortOn(myDate) with no success. Do I have to convert the Date to a string (like 20070731) to use sortOn correctly?

I have an Array of objects that each have a Name and a Score. I can sort the Array with '.sortOn()' by the object's Name or the Score, but when I sort by the Score, if some Names have the same Score, they don't list Alphabetically within that Score.
The following code shows what I mean. The Names with a Score of 50 are together when listed by Score, but they are not Alphabetical. How do I combine both ways of sorting?

I get the feeling this problem is anything but complex, but I can't seem to pull it off.
I have an array that contains search results and looks like this:
array[x].id :Number
array[x].sectionID :Number
array[x].occur :Number
array[x].title :String
etc...
I want to sort it by sectionID ASC and occur DESC (occurances). What I read in the documentation is that I can sort on multiple fields like so:
array.sortOn(["sectionID", "occur"], options);
But I need to specify different options for each fieldName while it seems the function only allows for one set of options.

I have xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<articles>
<entry datumNum="20090420" date="20/4/2009" id="1">
<title>Some title</title>
[Code]....
I would like to sort xml nodes using attribute datumNum, but I can't get it to work. Don't know how to pass attribute to sortOn function before the for loop.
Note that there is maybe a error in xml parsing code here, because I tried to be as short as I can.

I've got a MovieClip with two frames for the UP and DOWN states with text on top of it. I've added MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_OUT event listeners, but the text gets in the way of the button reacting to the events.I tried fixing this by adding the text as a child of the button, but now the text and the button act like they're two separate buttons. Does anyone know of a clever way to make the text and the clip to act as one button?

So the MouseEvent.CLICK event works just fine when i don't have the setChildIndex, but when i do nothing happens anymore. Here is the code:
var kake:Kake = new Kake();
kake.x = 87.5;
kake.y = 358.5;
addChild(kake);
setChildIndex(kake,2);

I have an array which holds objects. The objects have properties called cat and title. The cat property can hold values like:
Cat 1
Cat 2
Cat 3
And the title property can hold values:
Title 1
Title 2
Title 3
So that you wind up with something that looks like
Cat 1
Title 1
Cat 1
Title 2
Cat 2
Title 3
etc.
Now, I want to sort these, but we all know that Array.sortOn(["cat", "title"]) will produce results like:
Cat 1
Cat 10
Cat 11
Cat 2
Cat 3
What's the most efficient method of sorting these properly (so the number component sorts like a number and not like a string)? I can request users pad their entries (yes, other people will be entering this data), but that's both a little bit ugly and not very user friendly.

I'm trying to do Array.sortOn on an array of custom-class objects. It's not working, though nothing in the documentation suggests that this is a problem. Below is the code. I'm confident the MetricRecord constructor is working fine because everything else works, and the traces below are correct, except they don't sort.
// This array sorts
metricRecords = new Array();
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"cca", temp:"asxcvbxcber"});
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"aaa", temp:"asdfertr"});

I've got a line in my Actionscript like this:[code]If I click the auto format button with this line in there, it adds unnecessary semicolons through the rest of the code and the file stops working. Is there something wrong with the way I have this coded? It works just fine with the code in there before I hit the auto format button.

I dynamically set a color using this function in colortransform.
function setColor(o:DisplayObject,color:uint):void
{
var myColor:ColorTransform = o.transform.colorTransform;[code]...........
I then have a short timeline animation in Flash CS5 where the height grows just a little bit, and it does not grow.It grows in the preview, but not after compile.If i comment out this color transform function, the height animates correctly.
