...and just to clarify what I've already been through:
I obviously can't access it like this:
var someNumbers = Array(1,3,5,7,11);
var lookingFor = 3;
trace(someNumbers[lookingFor]);
...becuase that would return 7.
I've also tried it like this:
var someNumbers = Array(1,3,5,7,11);
var lookingFor = 3;
trace(someNumbers[String(lookingFor)]);
...and it returns "undefined". Not that I was expecting that to work
anyway, but I'm getting desparate. Is there no other way other than looping
through the entire array?
var someNumbers = Array(1,3,5,7,11);
var lookingFor = 3;
for (var i in someNumbers) {
if (someNumbers[i] == lookingFor) {
trace("i've found it the inefficient way :-/");
}
}
...the array could potentially be very big. I would think that would slow
down my project quite a bit eventually.
Surely there's another way? I've looked through the AS help and on
macromedia.com, but to no avail :(
