Im trying to write something that compares two strings and returns the matches between the two.
Example:
String 1: Personal Training,Laptop,Massages,Facials,Web Design,Cars
String 2: Web Design,Telecaster,Cars,Beagles,Painting,Laptop
Would yield: Cars, Laptop Web Design
I would like to compare a string variable to multiple strings. Is it possible?I wrote a pseudo code of my own which doesn't cause an bug/error report,but it doesn't seem to work properly either:[code]
View 3 RepliesI am trying to do a string compare over 2 levels.As you will see when you run the game, When you select the radio buttons and click continue the values are passed to the next movie under the You selected column. I want to compare these with the values in the Correct Answer column.
I have a count that is supposed to be incremented if a string compare is successful (in actions in answers_train.fla), the final value of count is placed in the dynamic text field _level1.score and then it checks the value of count and places a statement in _level1. statement.However my string compare doesnt seem to be working?
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 have the following code (AS3 & CS 5.5):
var regEx:RegExp = new RegExp(/(?:^|s)(#[^s$]+)/g);
var txt:String = "This #asd is a test tweet #hash1 test #hash2 test";
var matches:Object = regEx.exec(txt);
trace(matches);
The trace returns '#asd,#asd'. I really don't understand why it would to this, as in my RegEx testing application 'RegExhibit' it returns '#asd,#hash1,#hash2', which is what I'd expect.

Since there is no way that you can make the flash object transparent, there needs to be some other means by which you can match the background. I thought of maybe creating a ActionScript/Javascript bridge, but I wonder if this is the route to take.

View 5 RepliesI have the following regex, which will match all the <br> and <br /> tags in a string:
/<br[s|/]*>/gi
I actually want to match every set of two consecutive tags, with valid matches being:
<br><br>
<br/><br>
<br><br/>
<br/><br/>
(and all variations with a space before the slash)
Obviously I can just double up the expression to /<br[s|/]*><br[s|/]*>/gi, but is there a shorter way of taking the first expression and saying "this, but twice"?
This is more of a rant than a question; but I am curious to know if anyone has some insight for me. The application I am working on deals with a C# .NET backend; communication is achieved via a socket over which we push AMF objects. The AMF object class definitions are generated by the server side team and I just have to use registerClassAlias on the flash side to link them up - pretty standard; the only difference being that as they come from a C# background they prefer to use UpperCammelCasing instead of lowerCamelCasing for property names.
Today I got a bunch of updated AMF objects which I dropped into the project; but I noticed that after updating my project would no longer compile [code]...
I have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.

I have an array which has strings for the key instead of numbers. when i use .toString() on this array, it does not output a string, leading me to believe that .toString only works when you have numerical keys. Is there an easy way I could compare two of the above arrays?

The AS3 documentation states that if you pass in a string to parseInt that is not a number it will return NaN. However, when I try to compare to NaN the compiler gives me the following error: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false. The statement is actually true. Comparing to NaN will always return false. How can I compare to NaN to detect if what was parsed was NaN?
if( parseInt("test") == NaN )

comparing the two bitmapdatas?I'd like to have a function which returns an int (a value of how big the difference is), where 0 means they are identical.Right now I can do it with two for-loops, and getPixel. Then I compare the R-, G- and B-value separately. But it's slow if the images are big.

View 6 RepliesI'd like to know how to compare one array to another array with objects.
For example:
Array1 = [one, blue, car];
// there will always be only one entry in this array - no Array1[1], no Array1[2], etc.
Array2 = [product.number, product.color, product.type, product.cost, product.qty];
The actual content in Array2 would be something like this:
Array2[0] = [three, green, boat, 100, 5];
Array2[1] = [two, blue, truck, 200, 3];
Array2[2] = [one, red, car, 50, 20];
...and so on, up to about 60.
I'm trying to figure out to go through all of Array2 to determine if there's a match to Array1. Since none of the entries in Array2 are the same, there will always be one match.In this instance, I want to match array1 with product.number, product.color, and product.type. My example has them as the first 3 criteria, though that may not always be the case.
Something along the lines of this:
Code:
function findMatch () {
for(i = 0; i < Array2.length; i++) {
if(all 3 Array1 items equals items in Array2[i]) {
[code]...
Background: I've a combobox search that allows a user to select from drop-downs. After a user selects items from all 3 drop-downs, they click a submit button, and there's a check to see if the criteria in the drop-downs matches anything in the Array2 (which it should, if you can select it, then it's in the array).
After that, the matched information is used to populate a movieclip. There's actually about 20 pieces of information associated with each product. However, I only need to match 3 of them.I've searched and found comparisons for arrays. But I don't see how they'd apply to my issue as I'm using objects and there are more items in array2 than in array1. Of course, they may apply, and I'm just not understanding how. I could create a 3rd array and move only the items needed for a match from the array2 to it. Then I could do a straight comparison between array1 and array3.
I want to compare my two arrays.When both has the same object. they will trace out the name i give.This is the code;

There is no error in the code; but it can't trace out "cappuccino". Is it I should take the ingredients in order like in the array of the cap_array?
