IntroductionAs you continue to work on various Flash applications you come across many challenges that aren't always a big deal, but sometimes you can't overcome them. Although it may be true that I face frequent challenges, I am able to find a solution because I think about it and try to find it on paper. I cannot explain the process that I go through in my head, but I can tell you that it gets confusing when lots of thoughts are going through your mind. What is sortArray( )The function sortArray ( ) is one of the many functions I created while working with ActionScript. It all started when I was trying to order a set of numbers from least to greatest, and there was no function in Flash that could do that so I had to figure it out myself. An example would be this. var numbersArray = [2,5,10,4,8,14] What the sortArray ( ) does is return an array with the numbers ordered from least to greatest like this. sortArray ( numbersArray ) = [2,4,5,8,10,14] In this tutorial I will try to explain how the function works or if you want, you can just grab the code and leave. How to use sortArray( )Well let me just show you an example of how it would be used. Lets say I have an array called 'numbersArray' with my own set of numbers. var numbersArray = [4,5,1,8]; Then I have an empty variable that will hold the newly ordered array. var numbersArrayOrdered; Now I use the function. numbersArrayOrdered = sortArray ( numbersArray ); If I trace 'numbersArrayOrdered' you get this output. [1,4,5,8] Now lets see the code for the function.
