Actionscript 3 :: Inserting XML Elements Alphabetically By A Property
Jan 10, 2010
I'm generating an XML file within a class I'm writing. Let's say this was the starting XML:[code]I want to add additional <element>'s. The first order of sorting is by "type", then "x", then "y". So if I add a new "type" of <element>, let's say type "Text", I want Text to be inserted after any "Image" <element>'s.[code]The basic idea is to keep the list sorted as I add more <element>'s to each <container>.The numeric sorting is simple enough, but I can't figure out a clean way to sort alphabetically.The only thing I can think of is to get the types into an Array. Add the "new type", sort and call indexOf()... the number SHOULD be the current position I should insert before?

I am using an array to return data to an application and as the array is filled with data using a loader and the order is important it happens that data in slot n is inserted later than data in slot n+1. How do I know that the array is full as I know the number of elements to be loaded? The length property doesn't work for this. I could go through the array each time I put something in and look if every slot is full but that seems ineffective.

i have a combobox with instance name fonts and this code on frame 1:
Code:
fontAr = new Array
fontAr = TextField.getFontList()
[Code].....
it simply populates the combobox with all the fonts on your system...
but it is not very user friendly....
it would appear it orders them in order of date, which were last installed/made....
but if i am to actually USE this it would actually have some use if it were alphabetical...
so my question is this:
how can i re-arrange an array in alphabetical order?

I want to sort items in the datagrid alphabetically by name.The order should be:
1) The name should first check for upeercase of the name if it is not then it should look for lowercase for the same letter alphabetically.
For example : if i have array of items say{Apple,boy,ant,Bat) then after sorting the list shld be
Apple
ant
Bat
boy

In an alphabetically sorted array, I want to jump from one letter to another. So, when Im with a word beginning with a, I want to jump to the next item beginning with etc
Ive set up this simple script, which simply look at the first character of the current item, then loop in the (sorted) array until it finds a different first character It works very well hen descending! But when ascending, the script sees that there is character change but this is not the first item beginning with that letterbut the last one (since we are coming from bottom to top)
And of course I would like the script to give me the very first item beginning with a new letter.
(So, to summarize, I want to browse an array alphabetically, up & down, so that each time I press on the UP arrow key, I go up in the alphabet.and when I press the DOWN arrow key, I go down in the alphabet)

I didn't find any clear explanation how list in ComboBox could be sorted alphabetically. It's very annoying that this ComboBox takes data from array (label/data) in random order.

I have xml data that I can load into my flex app; however, I need to sort it by node.I'm trying to create a combobox or listbox that can display a list of locations sorting them either alphabetically or by the category they are in...
I can't get my head around how to format the xml or how to code the flash file to sort according to location name alphabetically and then press a button that will sort it by category 1st and second by name alphabetically.
Should I format the xml like this:
<POIs>
<location>
<name>Barbaras Bagels</name>

does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6

I made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.

I am doing a project for someone and we bought a template and I know enough to modify pretty much anything we need... until now.I want to do exactly what is listed here: [URL]But I can't figure out where to add the code. I'm not much for adding, so far I've been able to copy something in the library and modify it to do what I wanted but I have no idea what I can copy or modify for this.

Does anyone know the theory behind using javascript to insert your SWF files into the XHTML page, rather then the ("Insert.., Media.., SWF) way.
Is this a better way of doing it? whats the difference?
the Java looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
A[
var so = new SWFObject("here.swf", "", "100%", "100%", "9", "#000000");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");

I've made this swfContainer in which 'var defaultLoad links to the default swf... After that I've made 2 buttons that link to my swfContainer. The problem is that when I click my links randomly, the swf files just keep piling onto each other, making the site more and more slow!
How do I get my links to clear the container, while inserting a new swf file??
I've tried with both the unload and removechild functions, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?

I have a created an exe file using CS5 Flash, with multiple imports of swf files into the exe. However, the following problems occur:
1. While the exe file is open, I import a swf file into the main program (exe), and when I wish to close the swf file, it closes BOTH the exe file and swf file. I have made a button to close the swf file, actionscript as follows:
on (release)
{
getURL("FSCommand:quit", true);
}
Is this wrong or ok? It does close the swf, but closes the exe file as well, and at the same time, and I do not want that.
2. While the exe file is open, I import a swf file, and through the opened swf file, I import another sfw file into the existing swf, which is opened in the exe file, and it seems like the first opened swf file disappears or becomes transparent. For importing swf files, the following actionscript was used:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Les2Alpes.swf", 12);
}
