ActionScript 1/2 :: Can't Strip Whitespace Or Returns
Mar 15, 2010
I have few ActionScript skills. But I have built a multimedia career by stealing chunks of AS2 code and reworking them to suit my purpose. I have searched long and hard here for a solution to my current problem. I have found code here that seems to address it, but I cannot make it work. I simply have some textAreas that I wish to validate. The user may input text that could include extra spaces, returns, and odd capitalization. It would be easiest for me to simply strip out the capitals, spaces and returns. I found some simple code that changed the caps to lowercase:[code]

I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

I've managed to get myself stuck in a situation where a database full of images ( transparent images of various products ) needs to be placed on the stage, all of which need to be aligned the same by the products height. My problem is that the png's of products are 'floating' and I have no control of where about's in the png it will sit ( could be tight at the top and loads of room at the bottom, vice versa)
Does anyone know an existing way to find out the png's 'true' height ( width is an extra ). I've thought about looping through the bitmap data and checking but wondered if anyone has invented this wheel already?

Does anyone know of a way to crop out whitespace/transparent pixels in a BitmapData object? I've got this movieclip I'm rendering that has a huge amount of whitespace all around it. I'd like to crop all of that out before I convert it to a JPEG (with corelib). Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to figure out where the first opaque pixel starts on each axis to determine the extents.

I'm trying to serach for the following string "Type/Pages" in long external files and am using the follwoing code which works: indexOf("Type/Pages");
However, sometimes it appears in the file as "Type /Pages" - with the extra space
As the files can be VERY long, I don't want to search twice - is there anyway to search with or without the space?
I've tried all sorts of cominations with s* but to no avail

I have a website I'm making. The contents of it is set via xml documents.Now because in the xml for the sake of keeping it clean I make sure when setting all text to any TextField I set it with condenseWhite set to true:[code]Now this condense white creates a few weird bugs when using htmlText... things like img tags acting really weird and the sort.But that isn't my concern right this second. What I want to do though is allow the user to choose the ability to preserve whitespace in some manner for instance here is the main xml document loaded and used to load all subsequent docs:[code]
I've tried stick in there and that fails. I've tried the <pre> tag from html, failed, which I assumed it would. %20 doesn't either.I also thought of sticking a "preserve" attribute on it and checking that before setting text (as you can see in the xml code)but in some scenarios in my application it creates very convoluted code just to update dynamic textFields (I have textfields that swap out a lot, like in the photogallery as can be seen here: URL...Or maybe knows a site that has a well documented explanation of the html abilities of the TextField.I've been reading around on the internet and playing in flash for a while now testing different things and still no result.

I have a variable that contains the text from an input box.
let's call it "name"
People may enter the persons first and last name into this box. If they do .. I want to be able to capture just the first name from that string. So somehow capture everything before the first whitespace.

When I try to load text from XML into a text field any leading line breaks or spaces are ignored. For example:
Code:
<text> some text</text>
The preceding loads into the text field without the leading spaces before "some text". How can I force the spaces to appear?

I have been following through the "gallery" tutorials here on Kirupa, and finally got to the third version (the one with the auto-scrolling thumbnails along the bottom, which scroll left / right based on the mouse pointer position, and the keyboard Left / Right scrolling).
I need my thumbnails to scroll UP and DOWN instead of LEFT and RIGHT, and have been trying to modify the ActionScript that came with the downloadable .fla file for the tutorial, but without complete success yet. (The functionality of the whole thing is still intact except for the scrolling thumbnails.)
Here is the portion of the AS that addresses the thumbnail scroller, and I have highlighted in red the variables that I believe need to be swapped around for it to scroll vertically instead of horizontally. I have made the obvious changes such as :-
_width changed to _height
hit_left changed to hit_up
hit_right changed to hit_down
_x changed to _y
[Code].....
Again, this is the ORIGINAL ActionScript, not my modified version. Only the items highlighted in red have been changed in my modified version. Basically when I test the movie now, I get the last two thumbnails of the gallery transposed one over the other, at the point of the movie clip instance, and no scrolling at all. When I use the UP and DOWN keys, I do get to "manually" scroll through the big images, but no change in the thumbnail area.
What have I screwed up or overlooked? I have scanned and scanned and scanned the above section of the AS, and I can't see any other variables that ought to be meddled with.

I'm trying to help my girlfriend mock up a site for uni. I've been trying to get it so that when a certain button is pressed, it goes and plays from a certain frame number in a movie clip.In scene 1, there are 3 buttons and a movie clip. The movie clip has the tweens to the next strip in a comic. Initially strip 1 from the comic can be seen and when button 2 is pressed, it plays the tween in the movie clip and strip 2 can be seen. When button 1 is pressed, it should go back to strip 1.
Button 1 code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (movie1._currentframe == 10) {
movie1.gotoAndPlay(40);
}
}
I'd upload the .fla but it's too big. In the movieclip there are stop() actions to stop the movie from going to strip 3 if you only want strip 2 displayed.

Not sure if I phrased that correctly. I have about 6 pieces of illustrator outlined text.imported into flash, set as symbols with event listeners and works fine. but i notice I can only click on the outline itself, if i click on the inside of an "o" or "R" it doesnt work.I added white boxes behind each of the symbols and that fixed the problem, but now i want to do a color transform on the symbol (the text only of course), but when I apply the transform, its the background box and the text that have the new color applied, just leaving me a rectangle. I gave the box an alpha of 0, hoping if i didn't affect the alpha in the transform, the pointer would still read the box, but no go, it doesnt even see the box again.

I'm struggling to strip out the word 'Section' from a text box that loads from xml.
for(i=0; i<xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++)
if(xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].nodeName == "sections")
sectNo = xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].firstChild;
section_txt.text += sectNo;
When the node 'sections' returns 'Section 12' how can I strip out the word 'Section' and only have '12' load into the section_txt box?

I wanted an animation to dispatch custom events as it cycled. It became apparent that not even trace() was running. After some searching, I found the following at Adobe:[URL].."If the SWF file contains any ActionScript code, Flex prints a warning during compilation and then strips out the ActionScript from the embed symbol. This means that you can only embed the symbol itself."
I also found a work-around by Grant Skinner at:[URL].. I can proceed, but I'm still wondering. Why does mxmlc strip ActionScript from Flash compiled resources when embedding their symbols into Flex apps using metatags?

Basically, I have a photo gallery, on a long horizontal strip. I want the user to navigate this strip by simply moving their mouse to the right to make it move right, and moving their mouse to the left to make it move left.
I know that there is a way to do this where you track the mouse whereever it is on the stage...but I'd only like it to be only active when it is over this particular strip.
Also, each thumbnail on this strip has a rollover effect. I would like to have that roll over effect stay active...

I have a photo scroller built with CS3 and actionscript. It uses XML to load images for the thumb-scroll portion. I'd like to know if there is a quick fix to make the picstrip seem to a carousel - in other words, the strip would just continue to scroll whether you moused left or right.
