View 3 RepliesIf I load an SWF with a query string at the end, like:
object.swf?this=that
then "this" is properly recognized as a flashvar within the flash object.But, if I set "this" via mod_rewrite, as in:
RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.swf?this=that [QSA,NC,L]
then "this" is undefined.I even wrote a little PHP script to dump the contents of $_GET (changed the rewrite target temporarily), and I'm positive that the rewrite rule is working.
mod_rewrite clarification:
To demonstrate the strangeness of the problem, let me temporarily change the rewrite target to "object.php", so the rule now reads:
RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.php?this=that [QSA,NC,L]
I created object.php in the /lib/ directory with the following line:
<?php echo '<pre>'.print_r($_GET, true).'</pre>'; ?>
Then, when I navigate to /object, I get the following output:
Array
(
[this] => that
)
This demonstrates that the rewrite rule is working as expected.Still, when I change the rewrite target back to the SWF, "this" is not recognized as a flashvar.(I'd definitely check the rewrite log to make sure, but I don't think I have access to it on the Media Temple server I'm using.)
Trying to recognize urls from an xml text (as1) I have not access to edit the xml.The url is loaded as string, ex: "lorem ipsum dolor sThe url is not always at the end of the stringI'm loading it and showing as htmlText, but the url is not likeable (coz have no tags T.T )using split and join i got:
Code:
function sar(holder, searchfor, replacement) {

I am using flex to generate a lexical analyser for a custom language. The problem I am having is that as soon as I find a misformed token... I have no way to tell what other tokens follow this one. e.g.[code]Here, the stream of tokens will be id,<,>,id,<;>...... the language specifies that each token be seperated by a whitespace. So seeing a v after 1 should produce an error and the scanner has to print that error. After that, there are more legal tokens and another illegal token (~return). How do I process the rest of the legal tokens and print the second error.I am using flex as the scanner generator. When I find that none of the regular expressions for the lexeme matches, I call an error routine that prints the appropriate message.How do I resume processing after calling this routine?

This works fine but when I upload to my clients server the url might be somewhat different. Is there a way to split off the last 14 characters and see if they = slideShow2.swf or is there a command if the string contains "slideShow2.swf".
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;

I get no compiler error message but the count doesnt seem to work. Never overflow.
if i have this, for example:<font color="#9378FE" size="28">LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET</font>how do i remove any occurence of html tags?so that i am only left with:LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET

I'm trying to strip the name of a movieclip to just the number so that I can use it as a parameter in a function. The name of the movieclip is mcThumb6 and there are 8 different clips that are numbered 1 - 8. I'm trying to use the .split method to remove the mcThumb and just have the "6" remain. The movieclips all have rollover functions. The rollover event strips out the string and then will call a function using the number (based on which movieclip was rolled over). This is working except when I trace out the new value it adds a comma in front of the number -- i.e. the output looks like this: ,6 instead of just 6.Does anyone know where this comma is coming from?
The code:
mcNav.mcThumb6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void

View 2 RepliesIs there a max length (number of characters)?
Working with JSON and some command strings I am building are getting lengthy.
what I need is simple thing, I have string which cantains data - time retrived from mySQL in mySQL format HH:MM:SS YY-MM-DD what I need is to split this string in actionscript to array of numbers like this
HH
MM
SS
YY
MM
DD
so I can compare it with current time, how to splite using multiple delimiters at first, then compare it with current time. this is my work until now
var param:Array = datetime.split(" :-");
var currentTime:Date = new Date();
var seconds:uint = currentTime.getSeconds();
var minutes:uint = currentTime.getMinutes();

How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I'm new to actionscript and i cant seem to get the regex syntax right in actionscript3. The task is straight forward, i want to make sure that the first two characters in a given string are alphabets and nothing else.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?
I have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter. But apparently i can't access the '' character using string search functions or regular expressions.I try to execute the code in the Change event of input_TF.text
ActionScript Code:
trace(input_TF.indexOf("

I'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
I have to send a string from flash and I need to format it correctly. I'm going to use the restrict property too. Heres what I'm looking to achieve.
1. Remove and commas
2. If there are more than 2 characters after the period, round it the nearest number. Im guess for a minute you have to turn the string into a number then back to a string when processed.
ActionScript Code:
var badStr1:String = '1,000,000';
var badStr2:String = '1,000.98965';
I have a flash app that I would like to listen for a string of characters being typed on a keyboard. If a user typed in apple as an example that would either be correct or incorrect, and if they typed it in uppercase or lowercase or upper and lower it would still equate to true. Here is the tricky part, the string is not being typed into a textfield or anything like that, it must just be typed and after flash sees the correct keys pressed in the correct sequence it will fire a function.
I have seen this done before in a situation where a website had a background administration application, and when browsing the site you could just type admin, and a window would pop up asking for a username and password, so that is almost exactly what I want. Because of this I figured I would try to replicate the admin application first as it should be simpler
This is what I have thus far
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keysPressed);
var keyCatcher:Array=new Array(); var keyCatchNew:String;
function keysPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.charCode==65 || e.charCode==68 || e.charCode==77 || e.charCode==73 || e.charCode==78 || e.charCode==97 || e.charCode==100 || e.charCode==109 || e.charCode==105 || e.charCode==110){
keyCatcher.push(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode));

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.

I know this doesn't work. What is the right syntax?
I basically need to store a string of characters from an input text box and have them displayed at the last frame of the quiz. I declared the variable holding the input text as _global.player in the first frame, and upon clicking the start button the code is:
on (release) { _global.player=player.text; gotoAndStop (2); }
These variables are not referenced again until the last frame of the quiz, which reads thus:
stop();playerdisplay.text=_global.player;score.text=_global.correct;'Endng Comments Generator'if (_global.correct<=3) { phrase="Try a little harder next time";}if (_global.correct>3 + _global.correct<7) { }comment.text=phrase;
Yes, I know the global.correct coments are not yet complete, but i dont think that should be causing any issue with the playerdisplay.text (the dynamic text box to display the player name). If anyone could give me a hand that would be great. Nothing appears in the dynamic text box when the final frame of the movie loads.
I need some code for ActionScript 3.0 which will remove any characters which are not valid in an XML attribute.

How to get a text string to fill a particular width i.e. with a specific character until it reaches the specified width or number of characters?
View 1 RepliesLets say I have a string like so...
../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg
as you can see the set of characters of "images" in that string twice.
I need to replace the second "images" with something else. Had there only been one "images", I would have done something like this...
Code:
var url:String = "../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg";
// Pattern we are looking for in string
var imagesPattern:RegExp = images;
// Replace
AddThumb( url.replace(imagesPattern, "thumbs"));
Because there are two "images" this will not work.
I'm trying to make a Welcome ("User") animation for an eLearning template, and was asked to do it in AS3, which my team and I don't really have experience with (most of us stick w/ AS2 cos we're timeline oriented people), but the manager figured the best way would be to dive right in.The goal is to have handrawn letters w/ vignettes behind (like medieval books have) display a user's username (8-10 characters), which will be stored in one of two javascript variables, depending on which LMS the course is loaded into (one SCORM 2004, and one AICC).
I am able to get a loop to trace one letter at a time, which is a good start, I think, but getting the drawn object to go into an MC based on the characters is beyond me. I am also having trouble finding out how to check for the existence the vars on the HTML page.I have 10 empty MCs on the stage, with instance names of b0-b9, and the MCs with the images in them (yeah, they could just be graphic objects, but whatever) are titled iA-iZ and i0-i9.All I have thus far is
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.*
