Array Is In

[A7RSTR7K3]

Hey All...
Well I know I should probably know this, but I don't I need to know is there some kind of isIn for an array. To test if an item is an element in an array. I just cant remeber what it is. Thnx.

for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
if (myArray[i] == whatever) {
trace("my item found!");
break;
}
}

is there a built in funciton to do this? I know I can write a way to test it... but is there anything built in which supports it?

No, i don`t think they have made your "is in" function yet.
BTW-this is only checking to see if your value exists within an array, there may be several elements containing the same value.

So is there really no is in function? Anyone know of a built in work around? thanks stwingy... I'm using that right now just wonderin cuz built in things are usually faster.

There is no built in way as Stwingy said, what he showed you is how we all search an array in the simplest form, well atleast me.
