way to search a string for html links, the reason i ask is so that when my clients update their sites using external text files, all they have to do is type in [URL] and when the var is imported into flash it will be converted into <a href="http://www.somewherenice.com">www.somewherenice.com</a> so my clients don't need to learn lots of html coding.
View 11 RepliesI need to create a search "thing"! I have a database with, for ex., 10 names, with age, color of eyes and hair. I need to create some form were you choose to search for someone between 20-30 years, blue eyes, brown hair, and then the results appear on a list with links to each case... did I made myself clear?
View 1 RepliesI've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I want to add links to 3 different external html pages in the place of th 3 my trial links(which are on the timeline) Here is code, this creates the three buttons listed in var catBtmmenu_label Array:
Code: Select all// Catalogue Bottom Button
//stop();
//hide button on the stage[code]..........
I dont know how to assign links to dynamic created buttons.
I am trying to get the number of incoming links to a page through the Google Search API. It is not working (just returning Null)
Here is the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init();" width="320" height="480" backgroundGradientColors="115115" backgroundGradientAlphas=".2" backgroundAlpha=".2" dropShadowEnabled="false">
[code]....
So the data return from the query is correct, and the difficulty lies in accessing the "estimatedResultCount" near the end of the JSON data.
How can I search a string for containing another string?
Like "I like pizza." search for "pizza", and if it has it, return true, but if it doesn't - false.
I have a piece of Flash on an HTML page that when you hover over it, it expands out to reveal more information.There are text links that it expands over, however in everything but IE, when it's not expanded those links are still covered by the Flash making them unclickable.I have the Flash piece in a separate DIV wmode set to transparent.

tho i get an error here : and pretty sure it's from some bad use of .indexOf (because if i comment out that indexOf conditional, it works fine).i'm confused by the AS reference for indexOf, as it appears to be used for both Arrays and Strings.[URL]
i like to stay away from a loop if possible.
i have a string like this.
"<person><uid>bob</uid></person>"
i want to read the bob between the uid tags is there any easy way to do this using regexp or ay other method i have writers block here.
i should also metioned the string between <uid> and </uid> is variable length so i would really just like to read in between the uid tags.
I'm trying to create a simple xml search function that searches an xml file for a string, and if that string is found in the xml, display the node which contains that string in a text box.I have the simple search function working, but what I can't do is return the specific node. Right now, the function is returning all the xml data instead. If someone could take a look and possibly lend some guidance as to how to return the specific daya, I would be much oblidged. Hope this makes sense, if not, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify.[code]

This replaces the 2 but of course also replaces all the other instances of 2 in the htmlText as well. Is there any possible workaround? Can I exploit the fact that the other 2's are inside quotations and someone not mess with those ones based on that fact?
I've been trying to use substr to loop through some text in a textfield I have cast as number.Although there is a problem with this, substr only goes through strings so if I type something as a number, it wont loop throught.Is there a similar function to loop through numbers?

If the word "book" is part of the text entered in the text field "mytextfield" the flash should do the action "GotoAndStop(2)". I tried this, but it didn't worked.

trace(box);
var str = box;
if (var location == str.indexOf("book")) {
GotoAndPlay(2) ;
}
I have a string that looks something like this:

I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?
i'm trying to write a function but with no luck. seems my brain capacity's limited the function will take two parameters: a term to search for, and a string to be searched. what i want the function to return is a new string containing the term (the parameter) along with a couple of words before and after it (as found in the search string).

I am trying to find the generic links in strings. I've found a very handy regex on RegExr, in the community expressions:
(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?
I tried to use it and it returns null, although the same string tested on RegExr works fine:
var linkRegEx:RegExp = new RegExp("(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?","g");
var link:String = 'generic links: www.google.com http://www.google.com google.com';
