I have a time format like so: 00:00:00.00 (hours, minutes, seconds, millieseconds). This is stored into a string called adminTime.
But I need to make it so that the string takes what ever the time is and changes it to 00:00 (hours and minutes)
So basically a way of looping though the string and removing the seonds and milleseconds.
When I am loading external UTF-8 text files (or texts from an mySQL DB) with Flash, if those files contains enters (by the user that create them) I noticed that those enters are replaced by two char codes: 10 and 13 (new line feed + carriage return). If I put the loaded string to a TextField.htmlText I get 2 enters pressed, and thus instead of having 1 line change I got 1 paragraph change.

I have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter. But apparently i can't access the '' character using string search functions or regular expressions.I try to execute the code in the Change event of input_TF.text
ActionScript Code:
trace(input_TF.indexOf("
"))//always -1

I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I'm importing text from a .xml file, in that file my text is formatted with HTML and an imported StyleSheet. The problem is...

The indentation shown here by the red rectangle. I tried to remove it while using text-indent:0; in my css. didn't work..
as you can see by the code I used the "Code snippets" in AS3 and used the "Click to display a text field" in the menu there.
Anyways, it does what I want, however on MOUSE_OUT I want it to no longer display the text there, to not have it visible more than just when the mouse is over the image (bild1) in this case.
This is the code, how should I do this? best easiest solution? would be loads appriciated!
...Or if there's any other easier way to just display a text somewhere on mouse_over and then to not having it visible anymore on mouse_out
"bild1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_ClickToPosition_5);

I've very new to using Flash with AC3. I've got a small project that reads infomation in from XML files and creates a very two simple menus. The first being the years 2009,2008,2007 etc. (yearMenu_mc). When I click one of these it reads another xml file and builds another menu below (subMenu_mc). This is all working. What I cannot get to work is when I click another year I need it to clear the previous menus text, it just seems to keep over writing and I end up with text that I cannot read anymore. The code I've posted and tried works in one respect it does in fact reset subMenu_mc and I get clear text, but it seems to get rid of the background colour I had set for subMenu_mc.
Code:
import scripts.*;

var myFont=new fontArial();
var margin:int=2;

I have managed to get rid of unwanted line breaks and returns in the RSS text I am bringing in to populate my dynamic text fields. The Dynamic Text fields are set up not to render text as html, are multiline and have the fonts embedded. I keep seeing things like, <p style=""> at the beginning of the story or <THI.TO> in the middle of the story. Is there any way of deleting anything that appears as <anything> and replace with a space? Here is the code I am currently using to eliminate the line breaks. Also is there any way of turning hyphenation on?

I have an input text box for the user to input a name. This box is linked to the variable "name". However when I call up this variable later (by linking "name" to dynamic textboxes), the size color etc. of the font are carried over from the input text box. How would I go about removing this formatting info, so the variable is simply set to the letters typed in by the user?
View 1 RepliesI have a text field where the user can input their salary, the only problem I have is that if they put a comma in it will break the calculations, so I need to be able to take the amount they give and then rip out the comma and have it just be the full number so I can do the necessary calculations with it.
I have everything working fine otherwise, just need to fix this *hopefully* minor issue.

I generated some duplicate text fields in actionscript via a for loop and just did the "addChild()" function to add each textbox to the screen. Now I would like to remove them, but how do I do this? Since the textfields all have the same name, I can't do a 'getChildByName()' function to remove them, and I also tried getChildIndex(), but I can't seem to get any of that working.

I am working on a simple textfield(or so i initially thought simple.) that consists of a scroll bar, some dynamically loaded text with a small amount of css styling the hyperlink. There are no initial errors the text loads, the style is applied successfully,scroll bar works BUT the text is no longer organised as all the breaks between the paragraph are gone and the text is squashed together in one block.

I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!

major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {

} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
