I have XML file with a item categoryName. I put these into an array - menuArray. But there are duplicates in the array and I need to know how to sort out the duplicates so just one of each of the items remains in the array to build my menu.
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?
I am creating an educational game. I have several arrays. These arrays have duplicate problems and that is fine. The problem is, I do not want the duplicate problems to appear right after each other. I have a function that randomizes the arrays. I am trying to create a function that, if a duplicate is found immediately after the original, it will be moved to the end of the array.
So far I have this... function noRepeat(){ var len = aNineb.length; for (i=0; i<len; i++){ before = i - 1; trace("aNineb = " + aNineb[i][0]); [Code] .....
But it never gets to the extra problems. Do I need to pop it or slice it out before I push it to the bottom? And, how could I make this a prototype thing, so I could just type in aNineb.noRepeat(); ?
I am making a drag and drop game using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc items are duplicated and enlarged from a menu and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot. Each part (arms, head, feet, etc.) is it's own mc with unique instance names. I have the drag and drop part all figured out, and I even have the duplicateMovieClip part working...
HOWEVER... Whenever I move from the current frame that an object was duplicated in, to another frame and then back, the clips dissapear one by one if you try to create a new one. Each list of menu items are in their own frames (heads, torsos, arms, etc.). As the duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what frame you go to and can still be dagged around, which is good, but as I said previously, they dissappear when you create a new duplicate. Not all disappear at once, only older created duplicates disappear as you bring in new duplicates.
I just have an array of names (strings) in flash, and I want to make sure that any duplicates from the array are removed, or at least that a function is performed only once per reocurring value in the array.
Following code removes duplicates from an array. But the problem is, it modifies the original array. Can we create a new array which does not have duplicates and keep the original array intact?
I want to remove duplicates from an array. I've a command which works very fine: arrayID = (arrayID.filter(function(e:*, j:int, a:Array) {return a.indexOf(e) == j;}, this));
This code is for normal arrays which contain only normal values (number or string).. but i've an array in my script, which has objects in that... var arrayID:Array = [{value:1, name:"asd"},{value:2, name:"asd"},{value:3, name:"asd"},{value:1, name:"qwe"},{value:2, name:"qwe"},{value:3, name:"qwe"},{value:4, name:"asd"}];
What I want is I want to remove duplicates of "name" element! so after removing it should become: arrayID = [{value:1, name:"asd"}, {value:1, name:"qwe"}]; I believe it is quite easy even I tried to play with the code but I could not do...
I can find plenty of ways to remove duplicates with literal datatypes, and I guess at an absolute pinch I could use toString and adopt one of those, but there surely must be a better way of doing this?
I have two arrays. One contains numbers and the other contains strings. I want to do a sortOn(DECENDING) for the number array and then have the string array sort to match. if my string array is
I will do my best in explaining what is happening. I have a feeling it has something to do with how I declare things, but I am kinda new with AS3 so please have patience.
On my stage I have an movie clip (mContainer). In the library I have another movieclip (mElement), that has been exported for actionScript as mElement.
I've been trying to remove duplicates from an array for a while, or even preventing them, and I'm having nothing but trouble.There's a lot of code to go through.I'm creating an array with objects inside it like so...
Code: private function getJsonResult(event:Event):void { //ta.text+=http.lastResult;
Again, I'm having an issue with the final stages of my little drag and drop experiment.Here's the problem : I have an array of animals, all to be sorted into one of three boxes - Fits, Does Not Fit and Not SureNow if I place an animal in one of those three boxes, the name of the animal is supposed to be going into the correct place in a staggered array :
Actionscript Code: var PassArray:Array = new Array(new Array(),new Array(),new Array());function letGo(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.stopDrag(); event.target.x
I have 2 arrays: [6,1,4] ["apple","pear","orange"]
how to sort the fruit array base on the first? If the first array was sorted as ascending order:- [1,4,6] the second array follows the first:- ["pear","orange","apple"]
if it was sorted as descending order:- [6,4,1] the second one follows the first array order ["apple","orange","pear"]
I want to sort an array by another array, so it returns the new array in the order of the array to sort by e.g. its for having a flexible priority of some kind of quantity.
I have a two-dimensional Array of ID's and vote count - voteArray[i][0] = ID, voteArray[i][1] = vote count
I want the top 3 voted items to be displayed in different colors, so i have a 2nd Array - sortArray.
Then when i diplay the results i plan on using the data from sort array to find out what color the voteArray data should have. The data from voteArray should be in correct order by ID.[code]...
What would be the easiest way to do a multi sort in AS3. Something similar to array_multisort() in PHP... like this: sort a multidimentional array using array_multisort[code]....
is it possible to sort array elements using more than one sorting function? My problem is this: I want to sort an array firstly for one property of the objects inside, then with the help of a function and again with the help of another function... I've tried doing this:
EDIT::Just realised I could of asked this a lot shorter =/How / Can I use array.push() to make an associative array that keeps its order the way I added the item?Sorry if this is confusing!!
ORIGINAL:So I have this Multidimensional array that stores objects that are sorted into groups.
The array structure looks like this:
[Code]...
So I thought about adding them using the array function push() but how do I do this do its associative?
I have an array of colors that i want to sort from light to dark. currently I am reading them in as uints and sorting the array decending using colors.sort(Array.DESCENDING); It almost works the way I want it to but there are always a couple of dark colors mixed in with lighter ones( black in a range of yellows for example). Anyone know of a good way to compare rgb values?
I'm attempting to create an image gallery with Flash and XML. After finding a number of similar threads and attempting to sort the results with Actionscript, I am still unable to display the images in order eg. beauty1.jpg, beauty2.jpg, beauty3.jpg etc.[code]...
but it didn't work. I guess length is not a property of each array element.
By the way, the array is already large (270,000 elements) - so I need the sort to work very fast, and I don't want to be adding anything else into the array.
