i know, that i have to CAST them... but how?add (adition) two strings...
a:String = "20";
b:String = "10";
c:String = a+b;
I get c=2010 and not 30 as i expected...i guess i have to cast, but how?
I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

I'm trying to solve an Actionscript problem using E4X.I have an XML like this one:
<root>
<person firstname="john" lastname="doe" age="21" />
<person firstname="jayne" lastname="doe" age="35" />[code]....
I want to have just one function search() that takes three parameters (firstname, lastname, age) and return an XMLList. So the result could look like this:
var result:XMLList = xml..person.(@firstname == firstName && @lastname == lastName && @age == age );
But I don't want to use all three parameters all the time. I would like to have a function that uses a 'wilcard' if the parameter is NULL. So if the wildcard would be "*" the function could look like:
searchPerson( firstName:String ="*", lastName:String = "*" , age:String = "*") {...}
so that I would only pass 'John' for the firstName I'd get the first and the third node in return.
i have a .txt full of words (strings) devided by lines and separated with ; and i want to be able to load 1 random line and the first string of it..xALI;DALI;IDEAL;DELIRAREDIAL;REPELIDAAMO;MATO;MORTA;MOSTRA;MAESTRO;BATERMOSi want to be able to load "ALI" for example. and then load DALI etc etci used loadvariablesnum to load the text, but maybe that shouldn't be the best option..

View 3 RepliesI'm making a typing game that focuses on developing typing speed and accuracy. In part of this game, the user has to type a given word in a certain amount of time. If the user types the whole word within the time limit, the timer stops and it results in 100% accuracy for that word. However, if the user does not type the word within the time limit, I want to compare the typed word to the given word and find out how many errors they made.
I found this to be a lot more complicated that I had expected it to be. Fore example, if a letter was accidentally skipped or an extra letter was added, it will make all following characters seem wrong, even though the user only made one mistake.
How do I go about comparing the two strings?
If I remove the variables and just type in the path name, the file does play. So there's no other error in this piece of code. I just can't seem to figure out how to create that filename from variables.

I have the following:

m.visible = false;
if (slideIndex < 4) {

And I want to do for "tagInitW" the same thing I do for "m" being given that I already have "created tag1InitW", "tag1InitH", "tag2InitW", "tag2InitH..." So is there anyway I can dynamically target a variable? This was easy in AS2, but because of the strict dataType the vars have in AS3, I can't do it like I was doing it in AS2.
I am building a textField object that will contain new line character." " does not appear to work. All that it has been doing is trunctate the text string to the first occurance of the " ". Does Action Script use Unix new lines; (line feed)? Javascript does, as well as other scripting languages I have been using, regardless of the platform. It needs to occur within double quotes; " rather than ' ', other wise it is rendered literally. How do I enter new lines into Action Script text strings?

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 deserialize strings to objects in actionscript:i.e. var str:String = "{ id: 1, value: ['a', 500] }";should be made into an appropriate actionscript object.
