I'm trying to sort some arrays with the sortOn() function in Flash CS3.. but it always seems to crash itself upon exporting!Do you guys get this too? And is there a way to get around this?
Code:
var ms:Array = [];
ms[0] = [0,1];

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.

No matter how i sort the dataTag array it never puts the information into the respective order. The 10XXX figures always come ahead of the preceeding numerals. Anyone come across this before who can point me in the right direction?
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.
View 2 RepliesI 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 -
View 4 RepliesI 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?
View 1 Repliesthis is an array of objects that i want to alphabetize:
var streets:Array = new Array();
streets.push({name:"Édouard-Montpetit"});
streets.push({name:"Alexandre de Sève"});
streets.push({name:"Van Horne"});
streets.push({name:"Atwater"});
now i'll sort my array:
streets.sortOn("name", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
//Sorted
Alexandre de Sève
Atwater
Van Horne
Édouard-Montpetit
the accent above the E in Édouard-Montpetit, and any other first letter with a non-english accent is sorted after Z.how i can sort this correctly? i do not have access to the named data.
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.
Code:
var vendor_arr:Array = new Array();
//vendor_arr.push(new Array());
var level1:Array = new Array("yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp","yelp");
var level2:Array = new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f");
var level3:Array = new Array(12,14,7,2,11,24);

Why is it not sorting on "bdistance" ?? its returning 2, 14, 7, 12, 11, 24... what kind of sorting is this??
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 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 using the sortOn method to sort my array. concider this array:

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 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.
