Flex :: Sorting - Best Way To Custom Sort A Flex Array?

May 11, 2011

Here are the strings this array can contain (in the correct order):

'recipients,' 'columnSelector,' 'headerImageLink,' 'title,' 'mainText,' 'text,' 'bodyImage'

Now, to sort them, I obviously don't want to do something like this:

if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'headerImageLink' ) return -1;
else if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'title' ) return -1;
else if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'mainText' ) return -1;

So that brings up an interesting thing. I know you can optimize the above some using something like this:

if( a == 'columnSelector' || a == 'bodyImage' ) return -1;

This would get the last two, but lately I have just wanted community input on issues I have had in the past. So the question is, what is the best way to write a custom sort, using a relatively random order (not alphabetical, etc)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array With A Custom Function?

Jun 30, 2009

I'm trying to create a custom sort function. This function will sort the pegs in a certain row by their row number (0: lowest -- numRows - 1: highest)For context, here is Adobe's description for the Array sort method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Array.html#sort()

My array-building function:

Code:
public function getPegsInRow(row:int):Array
{
var pegRowArray:Array = new Array()
for(var i:int = 0; i < pegArray.length; i++)

[code]....

Unfortunately, the array does not get sorted correctly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: No Function For Scrolling Through Array Elements?

Jun 27, 2011

I deal with arrays a lot in flash and I usually find myself doing:
f1 = row[6];
f2 = row[7];
f3 = row[8];
f4 = row[9];
f5 = row[10]

And imagine sometimes I have 50 array elements.. and i have to declare them to a variable 1 by 1. I wish there was a function to enumerate through an array 1 by 1, that moves the pointer next or back.. like in PHP, to make our lives easier.

Something like:
f1 = NextArrayElement(row);
f2 = NextArrayElement(row);
f3 = NextArrayElement(row);
f4 = NextArrayElement(row);
f5 = NextArrayElement(row);

Looked thru the docs and I cant find anything.. I tried doing:
a_i=0; //array index
cid2 = row[0];
sid_pri = row[a_i++];
sid_sec = row[a_i++];
bid = row[a_i++];
model = row[a_i++];
but that didn't quite work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sort An Array By Two Or More Sort Thingy's

Nov 27, 2010

I have an array that is structured like so.

[Code]....

Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?

XML :: Flex Sorting Of ListCollection Sub Elements

Aug 13, 2009

In a Flex webapp, is there an easy way to go about applying a sort to the children of an XML element, based on the children's attributes? Example follows below:

XMLListCollection:
<a anotherProp="ABCDE">
<e prop="AB">1</element>
<e prop="BC">2</element>
</a><a anotherProp="FGEH">
<e prop="HF">3</element>
<e prop="AD">4</element>
<e prop="AC">5</element></a>

I would like to sort the <e> elements, within each <a> element separately, according to their "prop" attribute. My code for generating the array containing the <a> elements is along the lines of:
for each(var node:XML in initialInput:XMLListCollection){
if(node.localName()=="a"){
//I was hoping to be able to sort the <e> children of the node variable here
xmlListCollectionVar.addItem(node);
}}

At the end I would like the <a>'s to remain in their defined order, but their <e> children to be sorted based on the "prop" attribute. So far if I try:
node.children().sort=someSortVar
Where someSortVar has its fields set to:
SortFields("e.@prop",...)
I get an exception about a null value. Any way to convert the children list to XMLListCollection, sort it and integrate it back into the node variable?

Flash :: Sorting An Array So That 3 Types Of Objects Are Evenly Distributed Throughout The Array?

Oct 17, 2011

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.

If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z

HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array Based On Another Array?

Apr 10, 2012

how to reorder an array based on the information contained in another array. What my script is currently doing is detecting all the attached monitors I have and then ordering them based on their left bounds. However I then want to reorder the screens location in the array based on whether the user has selected that display or not. If the user has selected it, by clicking a button, the button movie clip will be on frame two, if they haven't been chosen it will be on frame one. So what I am doing is then creating two separate arrays, chosen screens and not chosen screens, and then combining them into one.

Code:
if(displayButton.currentFrame==displayButton.totalFrames)
{
//sort the chosen ones into an array

[Code]....

My problem now is being able to reorder a separate array which contains all the screens, called screenArray, based off of that. screenArray currently returns [Object Screen], [Object Screen], [Object Screen], etc... and is in the order of 1,2,3,4,5,6. How do I take then and get it to be equal to the order of my displayButtonsChosen Array of 1,3,5,2,4,6?

- Store them in an array.

- yourArray.sortOn("x", Array.DESCENDING)

- loop though the now "sorted" array and trace their x property.

Doesn't work, does it? If it did, shuffle them up and try again (sometimes, perhaps randomly they will be in order).
