Flash will be reading what is
essentially a tab-delimited database.
First, am I better off dropping text into an array in Rev to edit
it, or
simply sorting and managing the text as a big hunk of text?
Second, if the array is better, how do I sort the array? (I've already
built the Rev tool to split the text into the array). I've tried "sort
gMyEvents numeric by item 1 of each" (after defining the itemDelimiter
as tab). Is there a simple way to sort an array? Am I missing
something?
You could manage a tab-delimited list as suggested but if it is
otherwise useful to have array access then you need an answer to that
question, sorting an array.
Answer: You don't; you just access it in sorted order.
Explanation: Take an array flashData
put the keys of flashData into fKeys
sort fKeys
repeat for each line fk in fKeys
doSomething flashData[fk]
etc
This way you still have your array with direct key access and also
can iterate through it in sorted order as desired.
