I'm trying to sort an array of "tile" objects in as3 by the value of its "realY" property.
This is my code:

As you can see, there are some random small numbers at the end.
I have an array of Widgets and each widget has it's own Date property already set to the Date it was created. I'd like to know if there is an easy way to sort the items in my array according to latest first.

I want to sort an array that contains object references. I want to sort on one of the values held by the objects.
I have the following sample code, say:
Code:
ActionScript:abc = new Array();
abc[0] = new Object();
abc[0].anotherObj = new Object();
[Code].....
I have an array that is structured like so.

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 using Flex to create a small form. All I have at the moment is a List component, that I want to populate with a list of font names.I am getting the fonts using Font.enumerateFonts(true);. This returns an array of flash.text.Font objects.
The Font objects have a fontName property that is a String of that fonts name.My problem is that I can't figure out how to bind the List's dataProvider to the fontName property of each of the Font objects in the Array.Is there a way to do this just with binding? and not creating a new array of Strings by looping through the Font objects?
I want to put an array of objects into a grid. I know the code is simple but somehow I'm not getting what I want.
Code:
const PADDING:Number = 10:
const COL:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
const ROW:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
for(var i:int = 0; i< COL; i++) {
var tile:TileSprite = tiles[i];
tile.x = i * tile.width + PADDING;
for(var j:int = 0; j < ROW; j++) {
tile.y = j * tile.height + PADDING;
}}
Notes:
- The array is declared else where as a public variable
- This is to be part of a game engine I'm building so I want it as flexible as possible
- The tiles as reading their properties for an XML file. But I don't want to use the XML to hard code the tiles' positions.

I have created an object and I need to sort its elements. Is this possible?[code]...
I was able to do what I wanted by turning my object into an array and then sort, but my arrays gets pretty large and is regenerated often.
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've been trying to sort objects depths based on their Y position but have not been able to do it efficiently. I was able to successfully sort objects with a selection sort algorithm and a quick sort algorithm; however, both have only been partly successful. Selection sort gets about 8-10/30 FPS with 13 objects and gets about 14-18/30 FPS. This is not good enough as I figure I could have as many as a hundred objects to be sorted at once.
After digging around, I found that array.sort() is more efficient than a quick sort implemented in AS3 and that calling swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() at every swap was bogging it down. So now I am copying the objects array and sorting it with sort() and then comparing the two and swapping displayObjects so as only to call the swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() method once per element. It appears to be running, and at full speed, though it won't swap correctly. Here is my code:
[Code]...
The code doesn't work.
The getChildIndex and setChildIndex methods give error because cont[i] is not child of my object.
which is the fastest way to reorder depth of the objects ?
Code:
container.rotationY= container.rotationY + (mouseX-width/2)/100;
for (var i:uint=0; i<container.numChildren; i++) {
cont[i]=container.getChildAt(i);

I'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

I'm trying to sort MCs on stage that belong to different instances of different objects.
[Code]...
is there a simple way to use the Depth Management methods to control their sorting order? Right now, all I know how to do is place objectTypeB either in front of or behind all members of objectTypeA.
So, I'm creating a fairly basic overhead 2d game where users can "draw" a map. (Actually, they dont draw it, the manually input a list of x/y's, but the design aspect isnt important just now.) When a new tile is added, that tile goes into an array of all tiles ingame. The centrepoint is 0,0. Tiles can be added in all directions, so may be at 1,1 or 100,100 or -50,-50. Sometimes I want to determine what tile is at a location. One (imho bad) way of doing this would be to get the x/y and loop through all tiles and check if they are that location.
The way I'm currently doing it is to have a seperate 2d array of null elements, and when a tile is added, its set at that array. (ie tilemap[10][10] = tile[100]) Of course, because the values can go negative, tilemap [0][0] is actually the -1000/-1000 tile. (chosen as an arbitrary limit) Is there a better way of doing this? I feel like using a massive array of mostly empty objects could be more optimal.
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.
a1=a,b,c
atosort=c,b
atosort.sort();

I need to sort String items in an Array. Actually I need to organize children of a MOvieClip inside an Array.
I have a "menu" mc object which has 8 children with names "m1", "m2", and so on..... the last one is "m8" . They are NOT created dynamically.
the children are even organized in layers alphabetically.
i've already tried:

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]...

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?

View 2 RepliesI have an array which contains strings. I need to sort the array by the length of the string - longest string first.
e.g. if
myArray[0] = "xxx";
myArray[1] = "x";
myArray[2] = "xxxxxxx";
[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.
I have an array that has mixed data of strings and integers and i want to sort it by the LAST element which is an integer:
