Simplify?

[phildman14]

Can anyone optimize this code?

if (var1>var2 and var1>var3 and var1>var4 and var1>var5) {
biggest = var1;
} else if (var2>var1 and var2>var3 and var2>var4 and var2>var5) {
biggest = var2;
} else if (var3>var1 and var3>var2 and var3>var4 and var3>var5) {
biggest = var3;
} else if (var4>var1 and var4>var2 and var4>var3 and var4>var5) {
biggest = var4;
} else if (var5>var1 and var5>var2 and var5>var3 and var5>var4) {
biggest = var5;
}

all i want is the biggest of vars 1-5 to be put into a textfield of some way of signifying which is biggest.
Thanks

this.vari0 = 4
this.vari1 = 42
this.vari2 = 455
this.vari3 = 34
this.vari4 = 114
this.myArray = new Array();

for(i=0; i<5; i++) {

this.myArray[i] = eval("vari" + i);
}
myArray.sort();
trace(myArray[4]);

Stop();


CIAOOO

Thank you very much for the help, but when i tried it, it didnt come through. (ignore the +57+63 etc

temparray = [maintextmc.textWidth+20,namemc.textWidth+57,opinio nmc.textWidth+63];
temparray.sort();
boxwidth = temparray[temparray.length]+16;

any help would be greatly appreciated1

Thanks Phil

Change this line:

boxwidth = temparray[temparray.length]+16;

to:

boxwidth = temparray[temparray.length-1]+16;

Array indexes are zero based, the length is one based. ie an array with a length of 1 has one item at index 0.

i tried that but the prob was it wasnt sorting em right
i came up with one a bit smaller using math.max thanks all
