Trouble with Array.contains()

[VirtualVirgin]

in this function:

inline function getAllNoteObjectsInTie(staffIndex, barNumber, noteObject)
{
	if (noteObject.type != "note" || !isTied(noteObject))
		return;
		
	local objectIndex = findObjectIndexFromNOR(staffIndex, barNumber, noteObject);
	local startAddress = findTieChainStart(objectIndex);
	local intialNoteObject = scribeData[startAddress.staffIndex][startSddress.barNumber][startAddress.objectIndex];
	local noteObjects = [];	
	
	noteObjects.push(intialNoteObject); // push the first noteObject in tieChain

	local i = objectIndex +1;
	
	while (true)
	{
		local nextObj = findNextNoteObject(staffIndex, barNumber, i);
		noteObjects.push(nextObj);
		
		Console.print("nextObj: " + trace(nextObj));
		
		if (nextObj.specialFlag.contains("tieEnd") || nextObj.type == undefined)
			return noteObjects;		
	}	
	
}

Where the Console.print is clearly showing that

nextObject.specialFlag does indeed contain "tieEnd":

Interface: nextObj: {
  "noteObject": {
    "type": "note",
    "noteValue": "1/2",
    "x": "1/1",
    "y": [
      "D#6"
    ],
    "noteNumber": [
      75
    ],
    "direction": "down",
    "selected": [
      0
    ],
    "specialFlag": [
      null,
      "tieEnd"
    ],
    "attachments": {
      "stem": {
        "heightExtension": 0
      }
    }
  },
  "staffIndex": 0,
  "barNumber": 3,
  "objectIndex": 1
}

What might be causing the .contains not to work on an array?

[d.healey]

specialFlag is within noteObject, no?

@VirtualVirgin said in Trouble with Array.contains():

while (true)

If your if statement is ever false you'll be trapped in this loop. Should you be incrementing i in this loop?

[VirtualVirgin]

@d-healey Right on both counts of course!!
