here is the test i made :

package test.utils
{
import skyboy.utils.fastSort;

public class FastSortTest
{
private var _vector : Vector.;
private var _array : Array = ["a", "v", "c"];

public function FastSortTest()
{
_vector = new Vector.();

for (var i : uint = 0; i < _array.length; ++i)
{
_vector.push(new TestVO(_array[i]));
}
}

public function run() : void
{
fastSort(_vector, "title", Array.DESCENDING);

for each (var test : TestVO in _vector)
{
trace("FastSortTest.run() VECTOR", test.title);
}
}
}
}

class TestVO
{
public var title : String;

public function TestVO(t : String)
{
title = t;
}
}

If the length of a Vector object is an odd number, the fastSort method crashes and returns a RangeError (Error #1125).
This is in the sortOn internal method line 600 :

while (n != i) {
t = input[i];
input[i++] = input[--n];
input[n] = t;
}

As "n" is incrementing and "i" decrementing and the vector's length is an odd number, "i" is never equal to "n" so the while loop never ends and we got a RangeError.
Here is the quick fix i made for my project (sorry but i didn't test the performance of this) :

if (n % 2 == 0) {
while (n != i) {
t = input[i];
input[i++] = input[--n];
input[n] = t;
}
} else {
while (n != i – 1) {
t = input[i];
input[i++] = input[--n];
input[n] = t;
}
}

sorry for my english

Thanks for this useful article.
I’m looking for a way to generate an ATF texture. Do you know how i could do this please ?

Thanks,
Manuel

I’m not sure whether all of these actually work. I just grabbed from the Flash Player shared lib (libflashplayer.so) all strings that were in the same bunch as some known mm.cfg parameters and looked as if they could be parameters themselves.
If just somebody would take the effort to go over them and test each …

2. I have noticed that the two class NewObjectSample and DeleteObjectSample are both “represents objects that are created within a getSamples() stream”, why both “create” here

3. What’s “Sample” actually mean please?

4. What kind of time the “time” in “Sample” actually is? I have traced it in program but it seems not correct.

Thank you very much for reading my email. I’m looking forward to get your email back soon.

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Thanks for sharing this Sindisil!
