ActionScript 2.0 :: Search And Replace A String In HtmlText?
Dec 11, 2010
My htmlText in AS2 looks like:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Detroit Central City</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">has served over</FONT>
[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'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.

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.

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.

I am working on a search function but am having a bit of trouble finishing some display details. The following code works fine for finding and displaying text within an xml file, but I want to display the results differently. Using the following xml as a source, I would like to:- highlight the search term (var searchTerm) in red when found in the xml- add some characters found before and after the search term to give the term that is found some contextFor now, how could I add 3 characters before and after the search term, like so: "The first tex" - and highlight 'first' in red
var xmlFileToSearch:XML =
<xml>
<sim>

it 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.

I was wondering if there was a way to code a loop so that it searches through a string and replaces a specified word that it finds with another.

I found this handy function...
String.prototype.replace = function(find,replace){
return this.split(find).join(replace).toString();
}
// Example:
foo = "Let's replace all the e's in this sentence with an o.";
trace(foo.replace("e","o"))
How would I replace the first "e" with "a", the second "e" with "b", etc...

Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables

I'm trying to work with RegEx to split a large string into smaller sections, and as part of this I'm trying to replace all instances of a substring in this larger string. I've been trying to use the replace function but this only replaces the first instance of the substring. How can I replace al instances of the substring within the larger string?

I'm working on a textField overflow system for a project at the moment.I cant find a way to return a textField's htmlText complete with the original html tags.The system is used for splitting up a textField above a particular height into two textFields so the side of each other. The system works perfectly with unformatted text, but I cant seem to extract the formatting tags out of the left textField and apply them to the right - all I can get is plain text. (The system uses a StyleSheet by the way - so it is applied to both textFields).I 've tried:
Code:
if (leftField.textHeight > contentHeight) {
//var rightString:String = new String;
var lastLineIndex:int = leftField.getLineIndexAtPoint(10, contentHeight - 5);[code]...........
The commented out code represents the alternative method I've tried (still fails).

First question is why my flash function always replace only first url? What I'm trying to do is send string from flash input textfield by PHP to mySQL table. Then, when flash will load it again all urls in my flash textfield will be clickable.Of course I can use preg_replace in PHP:
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$comments = preg_replace("/([^w/])(www.[a-z0-9-]+.[a-z0-9-]+)/i", "$1http://$2", $comments);[code]....
I can also use some PHP function which will check whether sended data from flash already contains clickable url's, but if I need add another link in edited string, preg_replace not fire then...

What i'm trying to do is to first of all remove all special characters from a hard coded tweet. What I want to do after is to convert each letter into a specific tone, using MML (Music Macro Language).When i play the tweet via the sound library sion after my attempted replacing i only get five tones through. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing it's simple, but I don't know anything.I'm coding Actionscript 3 in FDT, which is all very new to me, as is regexp.
public function translateTweet() {
var myPattern:RegExp = /[~%&\;:"',<>?#]+/g;
var tweet : String = "@cupofjoakim AN EXAMPLE string! :D #hi11expo";[code].......

I'm trying to basically search a text string and then replace it with a movie that I have in my library so I plan on using attachMovie and then do some tweening to it later. The part I'm struggling with now however is the actual adding the movie after it finds the string. Here is what I have:
Code:
var check_text;
check_text = "This is some text and it is nice in <bullet>Spain!";[code]...
The output is: "This is some text and it is nice in _level0.arrow_movSpain!". Anyway to replace text like that with an actual movie and have it output the movie?

treeROOT = [];

for each (var xmlNode in xmlData.category) {

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]
