RE: [flasher] RE: array.indexOf

[Phillip Kerman]

You could also just write a loop that goes through each item in the array

until it finds what you're looking for... then note what index it was found

in.


It may seem like a slow proposition (stepping through as many as all the

items) but arrays are generally very fast to search through.


Here's the pseudo-code:


searchFor="thing I'm looking for";


for (i in myarray){

	if (i==searchFor){

		break;

	}

}

trace("it was found in spot "+ i);
