Array Methods in AS3.0

May 22, 2008 at 10:30 am · Filed under AS3.0 Fundamentals, Adobe Flash

I’ve been using Array for a while now – but don’t frequently use all of it’s methods… so I’m going to go through the ones I don’t use a lot….

Array.sort();

var beers:Array = ["Fosters", "Alpha", "VB", "asahi"]; beers.sort(); // default sort trace(beers); // output: Alpha,Fosters,VB,asahi


beers.sort(Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);

trace(beers); // output: Alpha,asahi,Fosters,VB
beers.sort(Array.DESCENDING);

trace(beers); // output: asahi,VB,Fosters,Alpha

beers.sort(Array.DESCENDING | Array.CASEINSENSITIVE); trace(beers); // output: VB,Fosters,asahi,Alpha

I think you have a mistake in your output string after the sort() method. Suddenly beers array is sorted but having other values.
