I would like to delete the movieClip that created this variable "tall" in this code I attach if it were to be a certain suit, but I keep getting undefined error messages...I think it's because it is'nt a string variable, but I am not sure since it has been retreived from the server like in the line below:
maTall.push(String(variables.tall1)); I thought that String there specifies making it a string...

Does anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
I am trying to upload image to the server so that i could load it into my flash app than. I'm sending the image via FileReference and listening to uploadCompleteData event. The problem is that the server side script does not returns the link to the image but it returns the image itself. In other words the PHP script doesn't save the file but send it back instead as a response.
So, after the file has been downloaded back to flash, the uploadCompleteData event is fired and the data property of this event is populated. But the data property is a String! And i need to get the byte array instead!
My question is: how should i convert the data to byte array? Or maybe the string i receiving is not the encoded image?
I need a string splitted into groups of characters in ActionScript like this:

View 3 Repliesis there any way of searching a string from right to left and trying to find the first occurrence of like a letter or a fullstop or something like that? also is there any way of finding the index of were its located and then deleting all characters from left to right starting at what ever index value was returned?
View 2 RepliesWhat I am after, is taking a string, then taking each character in that string and making it a variable, then displaying each character by itself. My problem is figuring that out. I thought I would try using a for loop and creating each character variable like that, but it doesn't work. I doesn't display anything. Here is my code so far, it seems like the closest thing I've gotten to:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=myString.length; i++) var letNum:String = myString.charAt(i); var let:String = letNum;
}

What is the opposite of String.charAt()??If I Have a string:var Str:String="Hello World";How do I change the 5th character, for example, from a ' ' to an '_'?I can GET the 5th character like this:var C:String=Str.charAt(5);But how do I SET the 5th character?

View 3 RepliesI need to strip a string from another and get the remnants. The string I need to strip is a Twitter username, so it can be variable length, but always starts with an '@' and can only contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
For example, the original string might be "@username: tweeting about stuff" and I need to get out of that ": tweeting about stuff".
Is there an actionscript function I can use to pad a string to a certain length with a certain character?
Example: I have a number lets say 274 and I want to make sure that number is at least 6 characters long...with any open space receiving the character 'W'. So I'd call the pad function and my final number would look like this: WWW274
I would like to know if there is a way to detect from star variable second a and b in the following code? I want to compose code to omit first a and b and detect only second a and b. At the moment it detects both - first and second. And once the second a and b is detected I want it to be replaced by g and h so the star variable will have following string: "a b c d e f g h". Here is the code:
Code:
// there are 2 "a" and "b" letters in the string
var star:String = "a b c d e f a b";[code]............
I am attempting to write a utility class that, when fed a camel-case class name, will return it as a String with spaces inserted before uppercase characters. Basically, if I pass SomeClassName into it, it will return "Some Class Name".At the moment, the way I envisage it working is to loop through the String, comparing each char with an array of uppercase characters and, if it finds an uppercase character, I'd like it to insert a space before it.Have experimented with a variety of String methods but can't seem to get anything to work

This is the main offender. I'm just wondering how I would find the last character and ignore everything else after that? Kind of similar to the php explode.
In a dynamic text field, I need to be able to search for the string and all of the characters after that up until it reaches a <space> then return that whole string into a variable I can use.

I have a string of 0:'000000' named stringtest I need to replace the 0 at the position x with 1. My code in flixel(a free library to create games)
Code: Select allif (FlxG.keys.justPressed("X"))
{
stringtest=stringtest.replace(stringtest.substring(1,2), '1');
}
it doesn;t replace the second 0 with 1., but it replaces the first one. However if the initial sting is 'let's go' if I press x the letter e is replaced with 1. if the string is 'eet's go' if i press x the first e is replaced with 1 and if i press x again the second letter e is replaced.
I'm making a little program that has to count specific characters in a string. Let's say the user inputs a name (I.e. "John Jabbadoo Jackson") and I need to count all the o's in the string. In this case it should be 4. How would the script look like?
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know what the character limit for a string in AS3 is? I'm generating a rather large XML string in a flash app which I'm sending to a php script to parse and save to a DB. I was stepping through the code and it looks like after a certain period that my XML string is going to blank. I'm assuming that this is because it's going over a limit. I don't really want to change my design but I suppose I'm going to have to if this won't work.

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 Repliesvar bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
bytes.writeInt(0);
trace(bytes.length); // prints 4
trace(bytes.toString().length); // prints 4
When I run the above code the output suggests that every character in the string returned by toString contains one byte from the ByteArray. This is of course great if you want to display the content of the ByteArray, but not so great if you want to send its content encoded in a string and the size of the string matters.Is it possible to get a string from the ByteArray where every character in the string contains two bytes from the ByteArray?
