You'll have to loop through yourself and keep track of the minimum difference

Is there a way to search the arraycollection for an approximate value? As of right now I'm looping through each object in my arraycollection to find if the value is between 2 numbers. for(var i:int = 0; i < dataProvider.length; i++) { if(myTimestamp > dataProvider[i] && myTimestamp < dataProvider[i+1]) //this is the correct spot. }
