Well, thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up solving the issue, and
below is my final code. Sorry if I confused anyone.
- MM
private function updateStandings():Void {
var tempStandings:Array = new Array();
// first, create list of scores and sort descending...
var tempScores:Array = new Array();
for (var s = 1; s < 9; s++) {
tempScores.push(Number(_root["t" +
s].pieces.text.substring(0, (_root["t" + s].pieces.text.lastIndexOf("
")))));
}
tempScores.sort(2);
// next, match scores to tables by going through
tempScores and finding a table with that value
// then picking it out of tempTables...
var tempTables:Array = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8);
for (var h = 0; h < tempScores.length; h++) {
for (var t = 0; t < tempTables.length; t++) {
if (track["table" +
tempTables[t]]["score"] == tempScores[h]) {
tempStandings.push(tempTables[t]);
tempTables.splice(t, 1);
}
}
}
// now, sort the scorePanels vertically...
for (var k = 0; k < tempStandings.length; k++) {
var theTable:MovieClip = _root["t" +
tempStandings[k]];
var newY:Number = track.standings.positions[k];
theTable._y = newY;
}
}
