I'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.
How do I replace a graphic symbol ? It is actually made up of 3 layers including a textbox and bullet. When I double click on the symbol, I get the Text Properties menu.
When I single click on the symbol on the stage, the properties menu shows a Swap button. When I choose the correct symbol and click OK, it looks like it worked but it still shows the original symbol name (Instance of it) on this Properties menu.
Another issue is that when I change one of the symbols (by double clicking on the symbol and then double clicking on the text layer), it does change the text on that layer. However, then it changes the text on the other symbol as well even though they are different symbols.
Note that I can edit the original symbol and the new one. Both symbols are different. In other words, they each show the different text (which is what I want). It's like the original symbol is attached/embedded and cannot be changed.
Background on this issue: Rather than create a brand-new layer, I copied all the frames in a layer to a new layer because it has a motion tween on it. I only need to change the symbol that is in the motion tween. This is the only action/event happening on both layers.

I am making a little banner for my site that makes different offers based on geo location (zipcode). I have the code working pretty much except for a few elements I want.
1) I want the input box to say "Enter Zip Code" until the user clicks on the input box. Then it clears out and the user can enter their zip code. The text box at this point should only take in 5 digits and no more.
2) Instead of having to click on the button to submit the form I want the user to also have an option just press enter when they are on the input text field and it process the form.
I am using Flash CS5 with AS2
This is the code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
Code:
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
trace('this is the begining of the code');
var nameText:String = "Zip Code";

I'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;
