Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?

Why is the data output in reverse order and is there any way of ordering it one,two,three? Because object are FILO, and yes, use the numbered index. ryanm ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archi

Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?

Well the order of your strings is something subjective... You should use Array.sort([function]) and create a custom sorting function that would sort your array the way you want: var array:Array = ["seventy-four", "ten", "twelve"]; function sortByStringLength(a:Object, b:Object):Number { if (S

Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?

Hi Michael, That's how the for-in loop works, no idea why. If you want to count forwards, you need to use: for (var i:Number = 0; i There's a pretty good reason, in fact (or at least, this is why it's done in Director, can't speak for Flash). The reason is that if you delete an element from

Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?

There is no specified ordering for the for .. in loop. It seems to be the order, in which the elements were added to the array, but you should only use for .. in, if order has no importance. Janosch Mendelsohn, Michael schrieb: Hi list... From the help on "for...in": You can also iterat

Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?

for..in usually loops thru the elements in 'reverse' order; though, the for..in loop's output is supposed to be in a unpredictable order. If you want the elements to be in a
