ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Compare Two Arrays
Jul 28, 2009Is there any simple way to compare two arrays. i.e.; I have two arrays (a,b,c,d,e) and (b,c,d) after comparison I would like to get an array (a,e).

View 5 Repliesi was wondering if its possible to compare two arrays to see if they are the same. ive tried it like this,
Code:
array1 = [bob,ted];
array2 = [bob,ted];
if(array1 == array2){
trace("monkey")
}
but do not get monkey returned
can i compare arrays and how do i go about doing it?
i need to compare two multidimensional arrays against each other
var aa:Array = new Array(1,2,3);
var bb:Array = new Array(1,2,3);
if(aa == bb){
trace("same")
}
dose not seam to worke, even in a 1d array :/
I need to compare two arrays to see if they are identical.

What i have is 2 arrays, where one is "correct" - set by the computer. The player then makes his array and when its done i want to compare them to see that they match up. The array is in theory able to go infinite (its a memory game), and i thought this would work.
The arrays can only contain the numbers 1,2,3 or 4. which is added like this
Code:
player.push(2);
Code:
if(player.length == siren.length)
{
if((player[n] + siren[n]) /2 == siren[n])
[Code]......
What happens with my code, is it goes to lose each time. How can i compare the object at spot 1 in each array, then 2 in each array, etc?
how to compare two arrays for matching numbers? One array is called randomNumberArray and hold 7 numbers in it, and the other myArray_array which hold 6 numbers in it.
Once they have compared how do I then display messages depending on how many numbers have matched. so lets say less then 3 numbers are matches I'd want it to display on the interface 'Sorry you have not matched at least 3 numbers'.

for( var checker:Object in cardStore){
trace("*************************");
if( cards[index-1]==cardStore[k]){

my code.
ActionScript Code:
var _num:Number = 0;

{
[code]....
Its intention is to compare the two arrays for matching numbers and depending on how many matches there are display a message.
But even though no error messages come up in the compiler error section, no messages displays on the stage where it should be.
In case it helps array 'numersChosen' is from another piece of script in this application, would I need to reference it?
Ok can anyone give me a hand ?
I'm wondering if there is a better way to approach this than my current solution...
I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.

basically I need a loop within a loop to compare two different arrays in my actionscript3 lottery game. I have attempted the loop but I cannot seem to get it to work ...
[Code]....
So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.
The dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{
var id:int;
var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
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've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.
