ActionScript 1/2 :: Finding The Linebreaks And Passing Text In The String
Aug 23, 2008
I have a dynamic text field in flash that is populated by an input box. The dynamic text field has a maxmium width it can be. So i have it as multiline WITH wodrwap on. My problem is that I have to send this data to server and for the php to be able to text the text and output the text as it is displayed in flash. There seems to be no way of finding the linebreaks and passing them in the string as far as I can see?

When you want to have linebreaks in a multiline text in AS you should write this, right?
Code:
var mytext:String="This is
what
I want";

What is the simpliest way to find an occurance of some sequance of bytes (string) in a long byte array?
UPD: I tried to do
my_byte_array.toString().indexOf(needle_string);
the problem is that in flash/air string consist of utf8 characters, so indexOf will return value different from offset of "string" in a byte array (actually it's zip archive)

I'm creating a flash application, which loads a file from a server, and stores it in a string. I'm wanting to find the substring within that string, which is inbetween two known substrings.
Note. I don't want to do this with reg-ex as i'd like it to be easily reusable.
Ideally I'd like a function which i can re-use, by passing the beginning and ending substrings.
e.g. something along these lines..
function getSubString(start:String, end:String):String
Edit: There may be more than one instance of the 'start' and 'end' substrings within the string, i'm wanting it between the first instance of each.

Is there a way to have a function draw a box around an object by finding the objects instance name via a string?
such as:
Code:
function BoxObject(object) {
//code to draw a box around the object
}
and then juts have an object with an instance name, like "my_mc" and then call the function on a keyframe like:
BoxObject("my_mc");

I'm trying to experiment with taking text from a textarea in a flex project and open it up in a php page. But the php isn't line breaking where it should be. An Example of the text i'd like to bring over to php would be:
You: Hi there
Them: Hello
You: This is a great example
Them: I know right?
Here's my php:
<?php
$text= $_GET['text'];
echo $text;
?>
Right now I came up with something like this in the actionscript...
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("savelog.php?text="+chatBox), '_blank');
I also tried something like:
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");
and
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.toString().valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");
But apparently the isn't translating over no matter how I get the chatBox var so its not even making a <br/>. But, even if i did get that to work it wouldnt be ideal. Because eventually in the end I want to be able to just incorporate the pastebin API to paste this GET data and post it on there. And I don't think it would look too pretty with having <br/> after every line...Is it possible to bring this text over to php and recognize the line breaks in a way that would work well with what im eventually trying to accomplish?

Can a TextField can contain different kinds of linebreaks?
I save and load text from an input field into an XML. I save it as CDATA tags including linebreaks.
This is what happens:
I type a text with linebreaks into the textfield I save the text to the XML I empty the textfield I load the xml into the textfield - everything looks as expected, linebreaks are present I save the exact same textfield again (the only difference this time the content was loaded and not handtyped)This time the XML does not contain any linebreaks when I load it again, the text doesn't have linebreaks
How can this be?
//here is an example that demonstrates the issue:
var xml1 = <xml>
<elm/>
</xml>;
[Code]....

Well I was loading a xml file (using CDATA) into my flash app. I'm still using AS2 and everyting works perfectly with linebreaks and everything. The only thing I can't understand is why a linebreak is so huge? When I load the XML-file into PHP to edit, it looks good. But when I save it and load it again into flash one linebreak is like two linebreaks.

ActionScript Code:
Bowl_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BowlClick);
function BowlClick(evt:MouseEvent){
var nextMovie:String = "nameOfNextMovie";
this.parent.parent newMovieLoader (nextMovie);

This is all good but I can't find a way to use the nextMovie parameter in the function and load a movie from the library. I hope you can understand my explanation..

I am working on designing a "flyer" type of advertisement at the moment... and I have pretty much everything working... everything except for this, that is. I need to be able to pass a string into flash that would basically be XML into flash. I know how to pass strings in, but where this has many "'s and /'s. "FlashVars" looks like this as an example...
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="items=<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flyer><flyer-item index="1" shortDescription="small car" longDescription="a small car" price="1000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="2" shortDescription="car" longDescription="a car" price="2000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="3" shortDescription="big car" longDescription="a big car" price="3000" image="[URL]" /></flyer>" />
I also have this in my embed tag and for some reason, this is what I get on my page when I try to load it up...Big Empty White Space
" /> " quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="temp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[URL]" />
It's like the XML is terminating the string or something.

I've got a TextArea with some text in it. Sometimes there are linebreaks.
I'm using SelectionBeginIndex and SelectionEndIndex, along with substring() to get the current selection.
The only problem I'm running into is that if that selection includes any line breaks, it doesn't understand.
For example, if the text was:
Code:
This is my first line of text.
ABCDEF
Let's say I selected from the first letter all the way to, and including, B.
The output of the substring() with the begin and end selection, because of the linebreaks, would be:
Code:
This is my first line of text.ABCD
Here's the AS Code I used to illustrate the problem.
ActionScript Code:
checkButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkSelection);
myText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
myText.textField.alwaysShowSelection = true;
[Code].....
How can I capture those linebreaks? htmltext isn't an option, because there's no selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex for htmltext...

I can then access it and get to to trace from anywhere like this:[code]However...I need to to go into something being converted to a string...like this...txt.load("xml/january/1.xml");Where the Janauary is replaced with the global variable. However, everything inside the quotations is being converted to strictly text, so that txt.load("xml/monthvariable/1.xml");Literally looks for the "monthvariable" folder instead of the January Folder. How can I put a variable into a string like this, so the variable is actually the variable and not the strict text?

I have 190 movieclips which display various types of information. When a user clicks on a movieclip, it has to tween larger but also send a string to a method. I'll probably e.currentTarget to use one function which contains a tween and I wondered if there was a quick way to pass string info in a similar way?
So, each movieclip has it's own value which can be passed to a method which will use that value. The only way I can think of so far is to have 190 functions which send the string data to the appropriate place. I'm trying to avoid that if I can.

I'm trying to design an interface that to simplify the construction of a string. Here's an example: My output (using the getURL command) needs to be in the form of: http:[url].....
I'm able to define variables for x, y, and z, however I am unable to figure out how to substitute the defined values for those variables into the string when it is time to send it.
