a) a shortcut to comment out code, meaning a way to put // in front of every line of selected code and of course the reverse, uncommenting code
b) find and replace in multiple scripts
I am working on making a photo flip animation between 5-7 photos but i have to duplicate this 70 different times. So what i have done is made a scene for each set of 5-7 photos, they are externally being pulled in through an AS3 script to prevent a large .swf file from happening with all those photos. The problem i am running into so that i cant seem to run a find and replace search to replace the instance name values.
View 1 Replieswhen I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line. That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.

I'm looking to find and replace a piece of a url. I researched the site and found this piece of code
ActionScript Code:
String.prototype.replace = function(find, replace) {
return this.split(find).join(replace);
};
[Code]....
However, at run time it doesn't replace the "dev" with "www". It traces the function ok...
I've never tried to do anything like this. Basically what I need to do is scan an image and blur the part that resembles a certain shape. For example: blurring license plates on cars or pictures with other people in them in which they should be blurred. I've done some googling and not found anything close to what I'm looking for.
View 4 RepliesHere's an unexplainable problem, at least for me... I'm trying to use Edit --> Find and Replace in Flash CS3 to replace a line of code that occurs in many frame scripts throughout the FLA, but when I click "Replace All", it says "No items found". I'm sure everything is set up correctly in the Find and Replace window:Search in: Current Document, for: Text, and I'm sure I'm typing everything correctly. I have "Frames/Layers/Parameters" and "Actionscript" checked below, and everything else unchecked.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to globally find/replace FLVPlayback parameters (e.g. contentPath, skinAutoHide, etc.) so that parameters can be changed globally throughout movie? I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. Or, is there a way to override the FLV parameters at runtime using AS2?
View 7 RepliesI posted this before but I might not have posted correctly. I am importing an XML feed into a module I am working on. The text that is coming in has html tags mainly break tags that are adding a considerable amt of space between each paragraph. can some one point me in the right direction as to how I could find and replace the break tags with nothing so the would go away? Ive googled all morning but I cant find anything thats leading me in the right direction.

View 5 RepliesThis is kind of a lame complaint, but any benefit I have gained from upgrading from CS4 to CS5 is being eclipsed by the frustrating change that while I am trying to use the "Find" tool in the "Actions" panel, as soon as I hit "Find Next" the Actions panel closes and I have to close the Find tool then re-open the Actions panel then again to see if it found what I was looking for then re-open the Find tool if I need to go to the next instance. I know this does not seem like the biggest of deals, but is there a way to fix this?
I will also add that this happens when the panel is clicked from the icon. If the whole panel is free floating it works fine, but then it is obviously blocking the whole stage, and I have to collapse it to an icon to see anything. There is also the possibility that it is computer/OS difference since my CS4 machine and my CS5 machine are two different computers one running XP and the other running Vista.
I am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).
View 1 RepliesI am displaying a word in a text box that was submitted by a user. What I need to figure out is, if anywhere in that text the letters "com" appear in order i need to change the font color of just those letter. Is it possible to search a word to determine if the letters appear consecutively and then apply the styling to just those letters?
View 6 Repliesit is possible to do search / replaces in script, text etc over multiple files? If not, is there any 3rd party software available to do it?I have hundreds of files I have to make the same change in and just wanted to find out before I have to do the mind-numbing process of going through them all.
View 3 RepliesI'm having some real trouble getting .replace to actually replace something. Here's my code...
[Code]...
I can trace both newFiles[i] and keywords[i][whatever], but the replace doesn't replace anything. The regex is valid as well. I'm using regexr to test it, and it works perfectly there... but will not for me and I don't know why.
i'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. i have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. the script works fine except when a popup window stays open. the rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. i tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesIn a spark list I could use the change event to find out which item has been selected or deselected. The dispatched IndexChangeEvent object has the properties newIndex and oldIndex holding this information.
But with multiple selection allowed this doesn't work anymore because newIndex and oldIndex could refer to indices of still selected elements.
A solution would be to copy the selectedIndices vector to another variable and compare this variable with selectedIndices after a change in selection, but this seems to be somewhat complex.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way two get the index/item a user is deselecting while other elements are still selected?
In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
how the string.match method is and if so
find greatest common factor and lowest common multiple

View 1 RepliesI've got a strange situation where I'm replacing the text in a string that I've taken from an XML, but the .replace function for the string keeps failing. I've tried running the example given on the Adobe site, so I know the value I'm trying to replace ("%20") isn't at fault - it's something about the string I have! I've included the code below, but it seems correct. Is there a particular tip I should know when taking XML values into AS3? I'm putting them in strings for this project.

View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring out how to call an XML tag itself (not the value of the tag). I have a program that reads data from specifically named tags. I.E the program understands the tag <image> and the xml file i'm loading has a similar reference but calls the tag <picture>.
How do I replace the <picture> tag with <image> so it understands it?
I'm making a game, and I want to have a "team color" sort of effect. What I want to do is be able to replace a color in a bitmap with another color, but I'm not sure if this is possible. I don't want to tint the entier clip, just a certain color on it...can this actually be done? For those who have played games like Starcraft and Warcraft, to identify which team you're on each unit has your color (like red, blue, ect) on it. This is accomplished by painting those parts of the unit a light grey, and then tinting the grey the proper color.
View 3 RepliesWhat I'm working on is the following: Make a 3D image carousel that loads images from a certain XML file. When I click one of the images I want it to remove the rotating objects, and load new/different images from a new XML which is specified depending on what image you clicked.
I'm not sure if I have to make a new frame for this, or if it's able to load in the same frame etc. (I'm kind of having a bad headache and feeling really sick aside the lack of sleep) Current health status makes me kind of unsure of a lot of things, so I'll give you the full code, the problem is way at the bottom, but I kept in the rest in case I have to refer to other functions again later.
Code:
//We use 70x70 sized images (change this if different for your images)
const IMAGE_WIDTH:uint = 70;
const IMAGE_HEIGHT:uint = 70;
