Little help with keyframes and Armorbot

Question

armor bot ranks software gives you an actionscript that sends
the score you want directly online, I have successfully finished it
but in the game if i enter a number like 200 and a name like "yair"
it works out just fine but when i put a variable like tt that is
connected to a number it doesnt work. Here is the Code do you think
you can help. Im guessing tt is time because i made this game with
a partner
The First keyframe has the code from my game in it then the
next keyframe has the armorbot code:
stop ();
sintro.stop();
t = Math.round(_global.totaltime * 10) / 10 + " units";
tt.text = t;
ct.text = _global.totalclickcount;
_global.puNUM = 1;
par = 1;
clickcount = 0;
N = 30;
hs = 3;
ci._visible = 0;
flr = floor._y;
kuid = false;
xv = 0;
yv = 20;
g = 1.010000E+000;
xd = 0;
go = true;
boost = 1;
_global.score = 0;
ballx = ball._x;
bally = ball._y;
d = 9.700000E-001;
bbu = 5;
bu = 20;
bhu = 23;
hb2l = 10;
hb2r = 10;
vb2t = 3;
vb2b = 10;
var B = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(0, 0, 2);
var bupA = new Array();
Heres the code on the button to the next keyframe:
on (press) {
nextFrame();
And Here is the ArmorbotCode take note of the t's:
//Send Highscore AS2.0 // Armor Bot Rankz
import ab3.rankz.*;
function __rankz_send__(par1,par2,par3,par4){
par227 = new LoadVars();
par228 = new LoadVars();
par227.flashkey = par2;
par227.SU0249 = par1;
par227.bmFtZTE = Armor_Bot_30_En_AS1.Encode(par3);
par227.c2NvcmUx =
Armor_Bot_30_En_AS1.Encode(par4+"j%e%a%n%s");
par227.flashkey = par227.flashkey.split("=").join("");
par227.SU0249 = par227.SU0249.split("=").join("");
par228.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
trace(par228.msg);
}else{
trace(par228.loaded);
par227.sendAndLoad("
http://rankz.armorbot.com/submit/",par228,"POST");
bXlnYW1lX25hbWVfdmFyaWFibGU = "Yair";//replace
my_name1_variable with your name variable (1)
bXlnYW1lX3Njb3JlX3ZhcmlhYmxl =
tt;//replace my_score1_variable with your score1 variable
__rankz_send__("MzEyOGolZSVhJW4lcw==", "SnBrUk9ibEo=",
bXlnYW1lX25hbWVfdmFyaWFibGU, bXlnYW1lX3Njb3JlX3ZhcmlhYmxl);
//Send Highscore AS2.0 END

words is a String array containing 58,112 words,
my computer hits 100% usage, bogs down and I have to press crtl+alt+del to bring up my task manager (which in itself takes like 10 mins) and my javaw.exe shows CPU 100. I guessing it is the startsWith() call, not sure.
If I am correct in my thinking then I will just tear each word apart and check the contents myself.You basically are checking the contents yourself. It's not clear what you're thinking. I can pretty much guarantee that if you rewrite startsWith(), then you will not improve the performance of your program at all and will probably just make it worse.
But this is where my question comes in, am I correct in my thinking or am I using the vector wrong? The answers are probably no, you're not correct in your thinking, and yes, you're using the vector wrong. But you haven't exactly said what you're thinking.
The vector isn't particularly relevant, at least in terms of the search. The real problem is that you have an ordered (reportedly) array of string and for some reason you're searching through it sequentially. You should use a binary search to find the matching strings. See java.util.Arrays.binarySearch.
Now, this is probably wrong:
     // get data from vector into a string array
     int size = searchResults.capacity();
     String[] returnArray = new String[size];
     searchResults.toArray(returnArray);Vector.capacity returns how much the vector can hold, not how much it's actually holding. So you're passing toArray an array much larger than it actually needs, most likely. I have no idea what the behavior of toArray is in those circumstances but it's probably not good. You probably meant to do something more like:
return searchResults.toArray(new String[searchResults.size()]);Another problem is that you're using a Vector, and not a LinkedList.
