I am trying to remove / replace white space from a string in as3. The string comes from xml and than written into text field. To compare the strings I am trying to remove white spaces
var xmlSentence:String=myXML.SENTENCE[thisSentence];
var tfSentence=e.target.text;
var rex:RegExp = /s+/;
trace(xmlSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
trace(tfSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
That code outputs like this:
She-has a dog
-She has a dog
I also tried different rex patterns. The problem is that though there are spaces in both string -which are same- it finds only one space but not the same one in both strings.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to take a movieclip of a character and change the colour of their clothes. The character is comprised of vectors.
So far I have semi-sucessfully used this method:
stop the movieclip take the bitmap data from the current frame use threshold to replace the colour store the resulting bitmap data in an array add an onenterframe function - clear the current frame and add the bitmap data from the processed data in the array
So - this works pretty well. Each frame is only processed once at the beginning and then the write to the movieclip is very quick.
However! As the replacement is being performed on a bitmap there is an amount of aliasing that takes place to remove jaggies/pixelation. This produces colours that are not matched using threshold. So the main colour is replaced correctly but it is surrounded by a halo of mixed colours
In my application I have a String like this..
var str:String = "The item is [mc]";
Here i need to replace the [mc] with MovieClip Object. Is this possible?
But i could not use TLF text,because it increases the file size.
I am trying to replace bitmap with movie clip. I got panorama viewer where bitmap is inserted, I would like to replace with MovieClip, this is the code in AS:
ActionScript Code:
import panbox360.PanBox360Component;
var panbox360:PanBox360Component = new PanBox360Component(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
panbox360.data = new Lake2(0,0);
[code]...
when i make movieclip using bitmap and make class from that movie clip with name Lake2, and press ctrl+enter I have 2 errors:
1. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 41136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.
2. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 41067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Lake2 to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
how can i replace this bitmap and use movieclip instead?
I am trying to replace a MovieClip with an instance of my custom class CustomMovieClip. What I want to do is make all references to MovieClip refer to CustomMovieClip, something like the following:
Code:
var _mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(_mc);
_cmc:CustomMovieClip = new CustomMovieClip();
replaceMc(_mc, _cmc);
trace(_mc); // I want it to output '[class CustomMovieClip]'
I want this to work so any variables that hold the MovieClip should refer the the CustomMovieClip after the replacement. Is this possible?

View 1 RepliesOn the click of a button I am having a movie clip load onto the stage from the library using the _root.attachMovieClip command and that part of my code is working perfectly.I have a close button embeded into the movieclip being loaded in but I am unable to get it to remove the movieclip from the stage when the close button is clicked. The close button has to be inside the loading movie clip so it doesn't interfere with other items on the stage which is why i'm not using _visible to show and hide the menu.

I am having issues with removing movieclips if they are there. My game involves collecting items, but when the time runs out, those items need to disappear so that when the person wants to play again, they don't reappear. I am able to do this with "removeChild". However, if the object has already been collected, and the "removeChild" command has been executed, the code chokes up and the game can't proceed.This is a modified version of Gregory Athons RPG game. All credit for code goes to him.

//when timer is complete, do this stuff

View 9 RepliesI wrote a small game in AS 2.
You just have to shoot at some alien ships. All works fine but I want to add one thing though.
I want to make the gun disappear if it hits any of the alien ships.
I tried to include a hitTest on the mcGun.onEnterFrame event and to remove it from there but I get an error ( not in the output window): when I shoot a bullet the gun disappears...I just can't understand why
Here's the code for the game:
Code:
/*****declare variables and instances ******/
var gunSpeed:Number = 5;
var bulletCount:Number = 1;
var bulletSpeed:Number = 10;
[Code]....
I wanted to check with the above highlighted code whether the gun hits any of the alien ships. And if it does, the gun should disappear from the stage.
From what I've read I cannot remove the gun because it's a timeline placed movieclip ( its depth is less than 0 ) so it cannot be removed dynamically. Correct me here if I'm wrong though I don't think so.
I tried another approach ( since I'm not familiar with swapDepth---i've just started with ActionScript ). I tried to make the gun become not visible if it hits any of the alien ships. But I get the same error. If I shoot a bullet and that bullet hits a ship the gun becomes invisible but keep in mind that the gun has not yet hit any of the ships.
