I bet the for-loop solution will be faster, since it need to process the array only once. Sorts require more passes, and performance is usually subject to the initial order.

Hi everyone, if I have an array as var boxSize:Array = new Array(25, 45, 32, 70, 50, 46, 80, 10); Is there a function that will return me the smallest value within that array?
