I can't get it two work. If I replace mySide with a hard coded movieclip name it works, but not with the variable. Am I missing something or just barking up the wrong tree?
var dots:Array = [north_mc.dot1, north_mc.dot2, east_mc.dot1, east_mc.dot2, west_mc.dot1, west_mc.dot2, south_mc.dot1, south_mc.dot2,];
var mySide:String = event.currentTarget.parent.name + "." + event.currentTarget.name;

I 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.
"what if i want to find all the what's in this sentence full of what's?" i cant do this with indexOf, and it wont work either with lastIndexOf, since there are 3... i'm trying to do a simple htmlText editor and got stuck in the part where i cant check the selected word's position only with indexOf...

In ActionScript3 i wanted to get the text between 2 quotes from some HTML using a input index value where i would simply increase the 2nd quote characters value by 1. This would be very simple however i have now noticed using indexOf does not seem to work correctly with quotes and other special characters.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a list object and I'm adding items to it with addItem through the dataProvider.Before adding an item to the list I want to make sure it's not a duplicate. I've tried using indexOf on the dataProvider and it returns null. I've tried casting it to an array and it works, but always returns -1 even if the element exists in the dataProvider.The only method I've been able to use seems a little hacky and I'd like to know if there is a better way to find an element in a dataProvider.

I'm trying to serach for the following string "Type/Pages" in long external files and am using the follwoing code which works: indexOf("Type/Pages");
However, sometimes it appears in the file as "Type /Pages" - with the extra space
As the files can be VERY long, I don't want to search twice - is there anyway to search with or without the space?
I've tried all sorts of cominations with s* but to no avail
Does anyone know if using indexOf is faster than using a for loop?
View 14 RepliesI'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.
View 1 RepliesI need some help with validating a phone number. I want to check if the length of the number is ten chars and if the first number is a "0" and the second number a "6".[code]This only checks if there is a "0" and a "6", but not if they are the first and second char in the string.

I am embedding the sowpods dictionary into an array in AS3 then submit searches using indexOf() to verify existence of the word. When I load a smaller text file it seems to work but not the larger. Since the file is embedded during compile, there shouldn't be an event for loading to listen to right?
