>>Is there an easy/quick way to find out if an item is in an array?
No built in methods I know of. But quick and easy, is just to loop.
Something like:
public function findStringItem(theArray:Array,
identifier:String):Number{
var i:Number = theArray.length
while (--i -(-1)) {
if(theArray[i] == identifier){
return i;
}
}
}
