I'm looking to find and replace a piece of a url. I researched the site and found this piece of code
ActionScript Code:
String.prototype.replace = function(find, replace) {
return this.split(find).join(replace);
};
[Code]....
However, at run time it doesn't replace the "dev" with "www". It traces the function ok...
I am working on making a photo flip animation between 5-7 photos but i have to duplicate this 70 different times. So what i have done is made a scene for each set of 5-7 photos, they are externally being pulled in through an AS3 script to prevent a large .swf file from happening with all those photos. The problem i am running into so that i cant seem to run a find and replace search to replace the instance name values.
View 1 Replieswhen I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line. That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.

I've never tried to do anything like this. Basically what I need to do is scan an image and blur the part that resembles a certain shape. For example: blurring license plates on cars or pictures with other people in them in which they should be blurred. I've done some googling and not found anything close to what I'm looking for.
View 4 RepliesHere's an unexplainable problem, at least for me... I'm trying to use Edit --> Find and Replace in Flash CS3 to replace a line of code that occurs in many frame scripts throughout the FLA, but when I click "Replace All", it says "No items found". I'm sure everything is set up correctly in the Find and Replace window:Search in: Current Document, for: Text, and I'm sure I'm typing everything correctly. I have "Frames/Layers/Parameters" and "Actionscript" checked below, and everything else unchecked.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to globally find/replace FLVPlayback parameters (e.g. contentPath, skinAutoHide, etc.) so that parameters can be changed globally throughout movie? I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. Or, is there a way to override the FLV parameters at runtime using AS2?
View 7 RepliesI posted this before but I might not have posted correctly. I am importing an XML feed into a module I am working on. The text that is coming in has html tags mainly break tags that are adding a considerable amt of space between each paragraph. can some one point me in the right direction as to how I could find and replace the break tags with nothing so the would go away? Ive googled all morning but I cant find anything thats leading me in the right direction.

Checked google, but only found some outdated,homemade functions. Is there no other way to Find char in a string and replace it? the shortest function i found was about 30 Lines long.
View 5 RepliesThis is kind of a lame complaint, but any benefit I have gained from upgrading from CS4 to CS5 is being eclipsed by the frustrating change that while I am trying to use the "Find" tool in the "Actions" panel, as soon as I hit "Find Next" the Actions panel closes and I have to close the Find tool then re-open the Actions panel then again to see if it found what I was looking for then re-open the Find tool if I need to go to the next instance. I know this does not seem like the biggest of deals, but is there a way to fix this?
I will also add that this happens when the panel is clicked from the icon. If the whole panel is free floating it works fine, but then it is obviously blocking the whole stage, and I have to collapse it to an icon to see anything. There is also the possibility that it is computer/OS difference since my CS4 machine and my CS5 machine are two different computers one running XP and the other running Vista.
I am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).
View 1 RepliesI am displaying a word in a text box that was submitted by a user. What I need to figure out is, if anywhere in that text the letters "com" appear in order i need to change the font color of just those letter. Is it possible to search a word to determine if the letters appear consecutively and then apply the styling to just those letters?

I am using AS2 and I am trying to make a simple 'game' for an assignment for school.I am first trying to make a simplified version of the game, to get some experience before I make the final version.
I will try to explain this simplified version:

View 1 RepliesIm attempting to make a create your own art work style piece in flash. Ive designed it out so that you first select one of 3 buttons to select which vase you wish to use as a base. However the next set of buttons relate to the colour of that object, so there are 4 options (blue, red, pink and brown) and the user selects one from clicking the appropriate button.
However im strugling to figure out how i would know which of the first options (which vase) the user has selected in the first place. Is there some kind of time line trick or script that i could use to sort this out???
