Sublists of arrays? No built in function?!?

[Durnus]

Argh! I'm trying to make a sort in Flash AS3 (a merge sort in particular) but apparently flash doesn't have a sublist function built in to the array data type. I've looked at the adobe docs, searched google, and searched these forums, but I can't find anything relating to my inquiry.

How do I get a sublist of an array? In java it's as simple as
myArray.sublist(firstindex, lastindex);

I was hoping to find a similar function in actionscript, but it appears there isn't any. :eek:

Anyone know about this? All help appreciated, except if you tell me to use the built in sorts, because that's just dodging the question. :rolleyes:

I believe the function you're looking for is slice().

Oh, thanks. Looking at that function another time it looks different. I swear the first time I saw it it modified the origional array as well.

Thanks!

The one you probably originally thought you saw was splice().


Anyway, no problem.
