  Obtaining the minimum value of an array

  Hi all.

  Is there a simple/efficient way to find the minimum value stored in an array?

  Cheers,
  Jamie

  This seems to work:

  myArray = [5,4,3,2,1,0,-1,0,-3.3,2,3,4,5];
  myMin = Math.min.apply(Math,myArray);

  Dan,
  i tested this and obtained 4.
  Can it have something to do with the AE version (CS5.5 for me)?

  Interesting. Appears to work for CS6, breaks at CS5.5. Maybe it’s the version of JavaScript supported.

  OK thank you.

  I’m surprised, i thought that the javascript implementation was the same across all versions, with only the object model growing from time to time.

  You could be right–it might be something else.
