How do I order an X amount of Numbers in different Dynamic Text Boxes so say there are 5 the numbers are
2
3.1
1
0.6
4.5
how would I make them order from largest to smallest, then the largest (4.5) would appear in a dynamic text box labelled "top" and the lowest in "bottom"
Cheers
I do not know sorry. Have a look at Ultimate Tutorial 2. It always has the answer.

Not for this it doesnt
You can use a sorting algorithm. This one is not the fastest, but it's easy to understand.
//Create array to hold all values
num = new Array;
//Give the array the text boxes values
/*You will have to replace the values with the variables of the dynamic text boxes*/
num[1] = 2;
num[2] = 3.1;
num[3] = 1;
num[4] = 4.5;
num[5] = 0.6;
//number of text boxes
numBoxes = 5;
//Sort the values
for(x=1;x<numBoxes; x++) {
for(y=x+1;y<=numBoxes;y++) {
if(num[x] > num[y]) {
tmp=num[x];
num[x]=num[y];
num[y]=tmp;
}
}
}
//Assaign the highest value to the top text box
top.text = num[5];
//Assaign the lowest value to the bottom text box
bottom.text = num[1];
/*Just for displaying the sorted values to make sure that everything works*/
for(x=1;x<=numBoxes;x++) trace(num[x]);

Haha, I found this an interesting challenge, so I've been playing with arrays too. This requires the textboxes to have the VARs 'txt1', 'txt2', 'txt3' etc
on(release){
NumOfBoxes=5; //Number of textboxes
holdarray=new Array();
for(i=1;i<(NumOfBoxes+1);i++){
holdarray.push({numb: Number(_root["txt"+i])});
}
holdarray.sortOn("numb", 18);
for(i=0;i<NumOfBoxes;i++){
_root["txt"+(i+1)] = holdarray[i].numb;
}
}
Obviously this uses a button for the sort, but would work equally well on a frame

I didn't know that Flash had its own sorting function, that's cheating xD

Neither did I until about 30 minutes ago... =)
So if im getting these numbers im using a random function, and trying to determine the highest and lowest
How do I make sure they go to txt1 txt 2 etc when they come up as the random thing.
why sortOn? you could just use Array.Sort() , isn't it there?

Why not? It does the job.

Please post the code you are using to create the numbers
_root.a=(_root.b+_root.c)/20;;
if (_root.a>=5){
_root.a=value = int(Math.random(5)*1000)/200;
Declare this somewhere before you start generating numbers
_root.holdarray=new Array();
Add this line after the code you posted
_root.holdarray.push({numb: Number(_root.a)});
Use this when you want to transfer the array to textboxes
NumOfBoxes=5; //Number of textboxes
_root.holdarray.sortOn("numb", 18);
for(i=0;i<NumOfBoxes;i++){
_root["txt"+(i+1)] = _root.holdarray[i].numb;
}
This assumes that your text boxes have the VARs 'txt1', 'txt2', 'txt3' etc, and that they are on the _root.
Denvish, without you Eviludy and Highroller, i would never have been able to make a game.
Yes people they are to blame... sick em
