I'd like to build a cipher in AS2, and I was wondering if there's any way for me to search a string for a specific letter/word?
Example:
someTextBox.text = "Lorem ipsum";
Can I search inside of that string for an "m" and then subsequently alter that letter?
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

Looking to write some code that converts the first letter of each word in a input textbox string to Caps if not already. ie - input textbox = "lowercase input string", then on button press the function converts the input to output this: "Lowercase Input String".

Is there an option for the user to type in a search word and it will go to that item? In Visual studio I have an option for this. Currently the way it works it only jumps to the first letter of the word, kind of a intellegent search.

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.

I have one global array, and I am pushing other arrays (which contain strings) in it.
[GOLD, SILVER, BRONCE]
[BLUE, RED, GREY, ORANGE, PURPLE]
[JUICE, BEER, WATER, MILK, COFFEE]
[MERC, BMW, SUBARU, MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA]
Lets say I have these 4 arrays, and I push them into global array in that order.
Example 1:
if I have string "MILK", I need to search the global array and what I want is to pull out last array (with cars) because "MILK" is contained in third array (going from the beggining).
Example 2:
if I choose "ORANGE" I want to pull out last 2 arrays (drinks and cars).
Example 3:
if I choose string from the last array ("MERC") nothing is pulled out. And by pull out I mean just get to it.
I want to search an array to see if it contains a specific string, and then get the index of the result. For example, if I had:
array[0] = "dogs";
array[1] = "cats";
array[2] = "oranges";
I want to be able to search for "oran" and get 2 back.
I'm trying to find if a text field with text seperated by commas contains certain text.
if (myText.text == "three") {

}
Is there a way to find in the above example, if "three" is contained within the text field?
I am converting a number to string

But I am unable to get Result or unable to find " DOT ".
Trying to get the first letter of a String to capital, and the rest of the String must be lower case. I think I am on the right tracks with the first letter, but not sure how to make everything else forced to be lowercase. Heres a bit of info because I might need to change things. I load in a flashvar vaiable by
var flashVar3 = root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVar2;
I am not to sure what data type this would be, not sure what flashvars comes as. I am then doing
var oldStr:String = flashVar3;
var newStr:String = oldStr.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + oldStr.substr(1);
tf3.text=" "+ newStr;
I dont know if the first line is an issue, because i dont know if flashvars comes as a String. But what I have generally would work on the first letter. Not to sure how I can force the rest of the String to be lowercase though. At this moment in time, I get the error TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
But I am not sure if this is because my flashvars variable is defined at runtime. Any advise on getting all of this working would be great.
This code just does what it says.
Code:
myString="This code eliminates letter "o"."
letterKill =function(letter){

Algorithm to generate all possible letter combinations of given string down to 2 letters
Trying to create an Anagram solver in AS3, such as this one found here:
[URL]
I'm having a problem wrapping my brain around generating all possible letter combinations for the various lengths of strings. If I was only generating permutations for a fixed length, it wouldn't be such a problem for me... but I'm looking to reduce the length of the string and obtain all the possible permutations from the original set of letters for a string with a max length smaller than the original string. For example, say I want a string length of 2, yet I have a 3 letter string of "abc", the output would be: ab ac ba bc ca cb.
Ideally the algorithm would produce a complete list of possible combinations starting with the original string length, down to the smallest string length of 2. I have a feeling there is probably a small recursive algorithm to do this, but can't wrap my brain around it. I'm working in AS3.
is it possible to count how many times a letter is contained inside a string in as3 and return the value to some variable
View 4 RepliesGiven the following example SWF: Sample Notice how with the words "enthusiast" at the end of the first line and "write" at the end of the second line, that they start to type out on the first line but after a few letters they are bumped.
I understand this is the correct behavior, but is there a way for "enthusiast" to begin being typed on the second line, and "write" on the third line instead of being bumped during the typing?
Currently I am thinking of doing a search ahead mechanism, so it finds the next word in whole, then makes that the active word to print, temporarily print it, see if it increases the numlines, and if it does insert a line break and continue writing. But it seems fiddly.

I simply want to insert a space before any capital letters in a string:So if I have "BruceWillis" I want to convert it to "Bruce Willis" . I am inserting the space before any caps, except the first capital letter.

View 2 RepliesI've been searching around the web for a very long time but I can't seem to find a good solution for this pickle:I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on 'how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield'I've been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I'm currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn't seem to exist.
