ActionScript 2.0 :: [FLASH5] With Strings - Check When The Last Character Of The Text Loaded Gets Out Of The Stage
Oct 1, 2003
I'm using flash 5 to develop a dynamic banner. It loads a txt file in an single line text field that moves from right to left, similar an electronic bank display. What I need is to check when the last character of the text loaded gets out of the stage (-x), so I can send the text field to its original position simulating a continuous loop animation. (I could do this using flashMX cause the text field scales according to the text size but I have to use flash5 ).

am a day 2 flash user and I have been trying to make a game, but for starters i want to make my character be able to move using arrow keys that includes showing the legs movement instead of a fixed image drifting across.There is one problem, when I press RIGHT arrow key , it goes fine, but when I press LEFT arrow key (rever direction) my character flips from point A to point B instead of facing left, i have been thinking maybe it's the frame problem, is it possible to tell flash to play the REVERSE moveclip

How do I accomplish this in actionscript (example in c#):
string[] arr = { "1.a", "2.b", "3.d", "4.d", "5.d" };
int countD = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
if (arr[i].Contains("d")) countD++;
}

I need to match a string that begins and ends with the same character in flex...I know the long hand way (RE being - "a[^(a")]a" | "b[^(b")b" | etc...), but I'm positive this isn't what I'm required to do (midterm tomorrow!);
I need to do this in flex, but if you can think of a short regex for it, I may be able to convert it to flex notation.
What I was thinking of was something along the lines of -
%%
int firstChar;
%x string;
%%
[Code].....
But this bugs me in a few ways, first, having that variable makes this not a regular language; second, I don't know if you can even use a variable to in a pattern match; and third, I don't know how NOT to match it, if it's just a normal string. And third, I don't know how to return everything that's been matched while in 'string'

I am using RegExp to search for character sequences within strings. I was wondering if/what is the proper way to use a string stored in a variable as a regular expression. For example:
ActionScript Code:
var someString:String = "...."
var expPattern:RegExp = "/"+someString+"/";
//I really want this to work!!!!
Otherwise, I think I'll have to use another string manipulation tool to search for the sequence. I think that RegExp might be the easiest solution.

I'm using regular expression to search word in a string, for example
var patrn:RegExp = new RegExp("\bit's\b");
var str:String = "Heres my problem in it and it's so help me guys.";
trace(patrn.exec(str)); //result is null
My problem is I can't search the data in a string which has special character like ('/,/.). What regular expression string is capable solving my problem?

I need the use of the chars â„¢ and ® but only the latter appears. I'm using a loadVars object and an external .txt file which is loading with success, but where I need the phrase "Soo Bahk Doâ„¢ Moo Duk Kwan®," I only get "Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan®" Why doesn't "â„¢" load?
Edit: I'd like to add that I have chosen to embed all uppercase,lowercase, and punctuation marks, and I additionally added â„¢ and ® to ensure they'd appear, but, the trademark logo still does not appear.

I'm loading words from a .txt file to a Flash crossword puzzle. It works perfect locally, but has trouble when uploaded to the web. Sometimes it works, but usualy has trouble loading the words. Is there a way I can check if the text file words are loaded before it continues with the game? This is what I'm using code: loadVariables (myDomain + "words/" + myPuzzle + ".txt", "");

I'm creating a basic web page, or TXT reader within flash. I have the basic foundations down, which decodes the HEX values to decimal, and returns them for the proper character, thus making the text readable. Anyways, what I've never been able to solve is the strange mystery as to why large pages will load with certain areas of the text switched around. For instance, the file's contents may be 1234 (this is just an example, because it will not actually occur with small files), but when loaded into flash, will be 1432.Try out some BASIC html pages, or any files you may have, in the Load Vars. You can leave it as it is now and use Craigslist, and then look though the trace log, for <html> and </html> to see what I'm talking about.
ActionScript Code:
this.createTextField("disp_txt",getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,Stage.width,Stage.height);
disp_txt.multiline = true;

I'm trying to build a prototype for strings to be loaded into textfields.I want to break up a string and put each and every char in it in to the textfield with a 1 second interval.
This is what I've come up with, I don't get any script errors but nothing seems to work anyway.

var myText:String = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wi";

Expl: This script is within the first frame of my movie. The textField named "theText" is also put there.

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 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?
