View 5 RepliesI have been working on a large sized movie lately and found that I was getting some unknown errors. So naturally I placed trace statements, still I had no idea what was going on. Then low- and -behold I noticed that I had two varaibles one name xPos the other Xpos. Now of course noramally I would assume like other programming languages such as java and C++ variables are case sensitive. I found that If I assigned xPos a value and wrote a trace statement (with different case) ie

I have a login section that has a username and password input field. I am not sure if I am doing this right, but since there is only one username and one password, this is how I did this.

My question now is how can I have the username not be case sensitive. Is that possible?
I'm making a glossary. The glossary terms and definitions are in an xml file. I have read the terms (the words to be defined) into an array. I have included a search field, such that when I enter a term in the search field, a function loops through the array of terms and if the string I entered in the search field matches an item in the array, Flash traces out "match" (in this early part of coding).Here is my problem: If one of the terms in the glossary is "India Pale Ale", with capital letters, then a search on "india pale ale" turns up no matches.How do I remove case sensitivity in this scenario?
View 2 RepliesIs it just me, or do flex MX datagrids sort in a case sensitive manner be default? That is, they'll sort like this:
I know I can give a datagrid column a custom sort function, but do I really have to do that for every column in the app?
So this is a bug in a legacy app- updating every single grid to spark really isn't an option (if that's even a fix). Am I missing some obvious way to change the sorting pattern for an entire grid?
I've just tried senocular's xml tutorials. [URL] The search query seems case sensitive. How to make it accept upper and lower case characters. Actually i'm trying to make a search by myself by using the same code.
View 6 RepliesI have several datagrids with changing columns. For the text fields the datagrid's sort function neems to be making a case sensitive compare. eg. the following list sorted would look like this apples strawberries Autos Autos should be with apples but since the capital A is counted differently all capital letters come after. I've found a lot of information on setting a CASEINSENSITIVE flag, but I can't figure out where to do this. The best solution would be one where I can override the default behavior to be case insensitive for all my datagrids and all my compare functions.

I am trying to make a vertical mouse-sensitive scroll that I created a while back work going horizontally. You can see the one I created at [URL] and click on the "CUSTOM" link. I have been fiddling with the x and y coordinates but can seem to make it work. If I sent someone the FLA file, could you possibly help me make it work scrolling HORIZONTALLY?

i have many buttons(they are actually movieclips) and for each i made separate listener function.. is it posible to optimize that code and make some kind of switch case inside the function. I don't know how to find out who called the function... is there way to find out. I don't want pass the additional argument with events because it wouldn't be optimization at all.I put only two buttons to reduce code:
Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, idi);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, idi2);

Just looking for some advice/leads on "best practices" for protecting a sensitive id (personally identifiable information) I've got a Java-based webapp (JSPs, Servlets, etc) that is going to need to embed a SWF file running on a trusted 3rd party site.
As part of embedding the SWF file, I'm going to need to pass a parameter in the block containing the currently logged in customer's ID. Question: knowing that I have a Java stack and not really knowing (or caring) what technology stack the SWF hoster has, what's the best way of encrypting that customerID such that someone who views source and starts trying to change the customer ID parameter can't suddenly get a SWF that's not related to them?
When trying to do indexOf on a "static" array, it works, doing the same thing on an array populated with xml, i always get the result = -1Static Way
var myarray:Array = new Array("Pub Pepsi","Shadow E-Bike","Icon Air Craft","Test","La page 4","La page 5","La page 6","La page 7");
var myresult:* = myarray.indexOf("Icon Air Craft");

I've been trying to have all of the movieclips on stage grow bigger when the mouse rolls over them, then shrink back to normal size on roll out. I have that working, but it seems that my mouse detection is sometimes too sensitive.I say that because sometimes my movieclip will alternate rapidly between rollout and rollover, usually when I place my cursor near the edge of a movie clip.I've tried only adding the rollout event after the tween finishes, but by then the user could have moved their mouse off the movieclip, and no rollout event fires. I was wondering if anyone knows of another way to manage a rollover grow effect without the stutter.[code]
View 2 RepliesI can't get it two work. If I replace mySide with a hard coded movieclip name it works, but not with the variable. Am I missing something or just barking up the wrong tree?

var mySide:String = event.currentTarget.parent.name + "." + event.currentTarget.name;

In ActionScript3 i wanted to get the text between 2 quotes from some HTML using a input index value where i would simply increase the 2nd quote characters value by 1. This would be very simple however i have now noticed using indexOf does not seem to work correctly with quotes and other special characters.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a list object and I'm adding items to it with addItem through the dataProvider.Before adding an item to the list I want to make sure it's not a duplicate. I've tried using indexOf on the dataProvider and it returns null. I've tried casting it to an array and it works, but always returns -1 even if the element exists in the dataProvider.The only method I've been able to use seems a little hacky and I'd like to know if there is a better way to find an element in a dataProvider.

I'm trying to serach for the following string "Type/Pages" in long external files and am using the follwoing code which works: indexOf("Type/Pages");
However, sometimes it appears in the file as "Type /Pages" - with the extra space
As the files can be VERY long, I don't want to search twice - is there anyway to search with or without the space?
I've tried all sorts of cominations with s* but to no avail
Does anyone know if using indexOf is faster than using a for loop?

Basically what I'm wondering is, will I lose the value of i in the first switch once I'm out of the switch? Can the second switch read the 1st switch?

I have a HP tx2500 tablet pc. I put the beta of windows 7 on it several months ago and had no trouble (64 bit). The service period expired, so I wiped it and put the windows 7 RC on it (also 64 bit). This has caused me problems with photoshop and flash (both cs3) as they will not recognize touch sensitive input! (aka when i press hard the line gets darker). In photoshop the option is set but nothing happens, in flash the button for touch sensitive input has simply disappeared, there is just grey where it used to be. I updated windows all the way and updated my flash and photoshop as well.
View 1 RepliesI'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.

I am embedding the sowpods dictionary into an array in AS3 then submit searches using indexOf() to verify existence of the word. When I load a smaller text file it seems to work but not the larger. Since the file is embedded during compile, there shouldn't be an event for loading to listen to right?

I have a function that finds the smallest five numbers out of an array of values and returns their index numbers. Here's a block of code from that function[code]...
The whole thing is slow, but I imagine that indexOf() is probably the worst offender. Is there any more efficient way to correlate a series of minimum values with their indexes without having to use indexOf()?
The values don't necessarily have to be stored in _elements, but they're pulled from a multidimensional array so I figure that it's the most efficient I can get at the moment.
I`m trying to set-up a script that changes the color of a movie clip, depending on the current url of the page... My code is:
